    HELP! Failed NCLEX-RN 6 times!

    uRNmyway replied to hmctaa0511's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You sound like you're in the 'everyone deserves a trophy just for showing up' generation. Try to keep in mind that those who are telling OP to move on are highly educated, very experienced nurses who...

    If we make BSN the entry level degree, we should be paid more

    uRNmyway replied to runningcrazy's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Eh, where I studied, entry level for nurses is equivalent of associates or diploma. Yet our licensing process is, IMO, much more difficult. Now, I don't think that education is a bad thing or should...

    Ribavirin exposure

    uRNmyway replied to sugarmagnoliaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Eh, this might have something to do with my slightly Asperger-esque behavior and thinking, but if I expect others to have these discussions with management, it's only fair that I do the same. To me,...

    What are your pet peeves?

    uRNmyway replied to forgop's topic in Emergency

    I had a guy once who was basically trying to give me his order, as if I was a waitress. 'Go get me something to eat, this food sucks.' 'Sorry sir, that's all we have and kitchen is closed' 'Ugh, well...

    Failed my osces... Now what?

    uRNmyway replied to brits's topic in Canada

    Whatever class you fail, you have to retake. Whether you take a medical exemption for the semester or you fail, that's your choice. No matter what, you have to take the class

    How do you know when it's time to move on?

    uRNmyway replied to NYNursingStudent's topic in Nursing Career

    I can't help but feel a little worried by a new grad (because seriously, with one year experience, you are really still a new grad) who simultaneously talks about how bored she is with basic nursing...

    Failed my osces... Now what?

    uRNmyway replied to brits's topic in Canada

    If you were already known for anxiety and a doctor wants to fill out the form, I say take the medical incomplete on it. I did it when in college, and had to retake the semester the following year. At...

    uRNmyway replied to sammiesmom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Ok do yeah, repeat what I said, never anything productive to any conversation, just republican/conservative bashing. As if anything that can go wrong MUST be because of them, and anything from 'blue...

    CGFNS Requirements

    uRNmyway replied to Aunurse1's topic in International Nursing

    They actually require your school to send it directly to them. It can't come from you, like if you already have your transcripts on

    New and 'fun' things

    uRNmyway replied to Sassy5d's topic in Emergency

    Ok, so my first thought was of women spraying perfume on their hoo-haws. That, while weird, makes a bit of sense. Maybe she misunderstood? Like, instead of saying she thought she need to... insert? I...

    Drug Seeker Stories

    uRNmyway replied to ER-RN2's topic in Emergency

    Had a pt recently admitted who threw a poop fit over the fact that no one was doing anything about his sickle cell crisis. Of course, not what he was admitted for, but still, has a history of it. Man,...

    What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    uRNmyway replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I don't think your reasons are silly. Now, if you had taken EMS to get to the ER, that might be a different story

    uRNmyway replied to sammiesmom's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Lol, do you ever make any productive comments on here? Seems like any time I see you say anything on AN it's all about republican/conservative bashing. I think the concerns OP has are legitimate....

    What Are Your Thoughts On This? Guards Sleeping.

    uRNmyway replied to havehope's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Agree with this approach. You can also innocently mention the coffee you just made. I know, who has time to play waitress for the COs, right? Then again, if the patient suddenly decides he has nothing...

    Pitocin issue

    uRNmyway replied to BuckRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks for advocating for your patients on this issue! I really feel like most women are so unprepared and unfortunately, uneducated when it comes to delivering their child. Since most women can't...

    Good website or book for refresher?

    uRNmyway replied to Tooimpatient's topic in Medical-Surgical

    Do you still have your nursing text books? I remember my first year or so after graduating, those things were still my best friends. If I saw something at work that I couldn't remember or wasn't...

    Stupid, I know, but more bad representations of NURSES on tv!

    uRNmyway posted a topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Anyone watch 'The Walking Dead'? I love the show, but tonight, I got a little annoyed. Stupid reason too, because compared to most shows, even those that try to be medical shows, this one isn't all...

    Foreign Educated Nurses already working (or in process) in the USA, help!!

    uRNmyway replied to almaguerrn's topic in Nurse Registration

    Well, to get my nursing licence, I needed to have VisaScreen (depends on the state). To get VisaScreen, I had to get CES. The catch wad they didn't tell me I had to, so it delayed everything by months...

    uRNmyway replied to uRNmyway's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Omg, yes, I saw this too!! Just picked it up of the floor, no fuss, and reconnected it. What? Given how she tore it out, seems like she just removed the access all together, but the doctor just...
