  3. Issues with another student

    charli_appleRN replied to EaglesWings21's topic in General Students

    It depends on what you suggested she change. As long as she addressed everything required in her portion of the assignment, you dont have to like it. Let's say she's doing the interventions and...

  4. Why do some nurses use their titles as a big ego boost?

    charli_appleRN replied to Hellostudentnurssee's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    OUCH!!!! I dont believe that even if it's true. I'm going to believe that they use that title to pacify those patients who must have a "Doctor" Yall know those patients who dont know the difference...

  5. Am I right or wrong

    charli_appleRN replied to CNAEB's topic in General Nursing

  6. Am I right or wrong

    charli_appleRN replied to CNAEB's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with your dad, too. His advice applies to any job in any field. You just met this lady and you dont know enough about her to judge her work ethic. It's possible that she wasnt paying close...

  7. Sexual Orientation Question

    charli_appleRN replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    In school we're taught that there are risk factors for everything. Anyone can develop DM but that doesnt mean certain individuals arent at higher risk than others. Same thing with HIV. Yes, anybody...

  8. Failed appeals on your record.

    charli_appleRN posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everybody. I have a relative you just failed out of nursing school and wants to battle over it. She was already on academic probation and in her depression over that, she contemplated dropping...

  9. Failed appeals on your record.

    charli_appleRN replied to charli_appleRN's topic in General Students

    She can't take the class over right now. This is the second class she has failed so if the letter doesnt work, she has to wait a year to go back per school policy. I was afraid this was something...

    charli_appleRN replied to lisajb86's topic in General Students

    After you've done your initial studing, concentrate on signs & symptoms and interventions when you go back to review. You can pass any nursing exam as long as you know what to look for and what...

  12. I got removed from my clinical practice

    charli_appleRN replied to danny411's topic in General Students

    You were definitely too aggressive when 'pushing' for more activities. It's not always what you do but how you do it. If you see an order in the chart, ask the nurse if you can do, help, or just...

  13. Bending and Breaking the Rules in Nursing

    charli_appleRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This reminds me of a lady I once took care of who was perfectly sane. Her friends and family smuggled some forbidden snacks into the facility and made her promise not to tell. She went all out to...

    charli_appleRN replied to baglemae22's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not a nurse yet but I was thinking the same thing and I have a question about the med passes. Couldnt they have been doubled up? I mean like pass both the 9am & 11am closer to 10 and the 1...

  15. What was the hardest course youve taken?

    Personally, I'd say Pharm but my transcripts would more than likely say

  16. Different Versions of ATI Proctored Exams

    charli_appleRN replied to Foleycathexpert's topic in General Students

    My school doesn't do retakes for proctored exams. We get one shot, and if we don't score a level 2 or higher, we get a big fat ZERO. Those tests are 7% of our grade for the class. We try to have a...

  17. Different Versions of ATI Proctored Exams

    charli_appleRN replied to Foleycathexpert's topic in General Students

    When you log on to ATI to do your practice exams, there are three tabs across the bar where the exams are listed. Click the tutorials tab, and you'll find plenty of practice exams there. Check with...

  18. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    charli_appleRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    EITC is income based, too. A person who makes more than $44,000/year with 3 kids, can kiss that EITC goodbye. My grandmother always said if you're going to make any money, you better make alot of it....

  19. ATI Predictor Test Advice!

    charli_appleRN replied to melissa0's topic in General Students

    What semester are you in? If you've been reading the ATI book and using their online study tools, you should be fine. The ATI books are pretty much the only books I read. With that book, I've passed...

  20. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    charli_appleRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    *sigh*.....just like Carla didnt know that nurses werent 'rich', I'm sure you nor the OP know what percentage the government paid of her expenses or how much disposable income she had. How are your...

  21. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    charli_appleRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Point taken. When I read the article, I interpreted it as Carla raising 3 kids on 12/hr and she got assistance with rent, childcare, and food. If the government assisted her with something, that...

  22. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    charli_appleRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, but I work in social services and the government is not handing out money like that...lol You pretty much have to be starving to death to qualify for anything. In my state, a person making...

  23. Do Nurses Earn Big Money? You Decide.

    charli_appleRN replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    What's really interesting is how the people who receive foodstamps are ashamed of them and people who dont receive them are jealous of the people that do. Public assistance does not a lottery winner...

  24. IV count?

    charli_appleRN replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
