  1. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Diahni replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    lassRN - I am sure it was a nightmare. I admire people who rise to the challenge, but they do pay a price. A lot of people from my area went to NO to do other stuff. It does a soul good, but at what...

  2. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    Diahni replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I second that, mom4josh! I didn't know that nursing students/beginning nurses got to vote! I am very aware of the "you have to do a year of med-surg before you do anything else" philososphy - I...

    Diahni replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'd like to see a study of how many nurses read Mad Magazine as a kid.

    Diahni replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    to be sure, you will, Dottie. The baby one was too sad to be on this particular thread. Just remember, don't tell your tales at the dinner table. I have been censored, and you will be too!

  6. my thoughts on preparing for nclex

    Diahni replied to LAW79's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I would think a couple of months should do it. Definitely, there are several "modes" I would say. ....... Have down your basic lab values - ncsbn.org spells this out very clearly - what you need to...

  7. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Wow - you mean the exams are totally different? I know that you have to take more exams, but didn't realize they are different.

  8. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Danis, Did you create an account? You have to log in to register for an exam, even if you haven't paid the enrollment fee yet.

  9. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hi Shaytona, Don't know if anybody responded yet. Yes, you can be a new grad. The only fly in the ointment at Excelsior is you MUST take the nursing exam series no matter what you come in with, with...

  10. Excelsior Nursing Program?

    Diahni replied to RelentlessOne's topic in Excelsior College

    gloat on, girl, you have a right! thanks for the tip about number 5 - a pal and i are refugees from an rn program and are finishing with excelsior while working as lpns. please tell me how you heard...

  11. Excelsior Nursing Program?

    Diahni replied to RelentlessOne's topic in Excelsior College

    txspadequeen921: wow - so you took nur1-7 in less than five months? does the 4-6 month wait you referred to mean you waited this long to do the cpne? did you go in as an lpn? in any case, i'm...

  12. Bored To Death!

    Diahni replied to Pianoforte's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If you're looking for adventure, and want to help kids, why not go on a doctors without borders tour of another country? In a way, we are so lucky to have the luxury of asking ourselves if we're bored...

  13. Bored To Death!

    Diahni replied to Pianoforte's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely, any job gets routine after a while. I always thought that a job with a lot of traveling would be so exciting, yet every person who does travel for a living that I've talked to says the...

  14. "Reciprocity"??? Ya, sure

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    thanks for link! though nursing and driving require state licenses, they're hardly comparable. after all, imagine being stopped and arrested in another state because your license is only good in your...

  15. "Reciprocity"??? Ya, sure

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Woody, Tell me about it! My take on all this license bureaucracy stuff is that it gives somebody something to do if they have a job pushing papers for the state. It seems far too complicated and...

  16. I experience physical symptoms when I think about my job!

    Diahni replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Communter- Diahni again - Even if this job was a pure joy - and I realize it isn't! - double shifts must be hard. I know it's a trade-off, and a really nice one to have five days in a row off when...

  17. "Reciprocity"??? Ya, sure

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    (More) Oh my, am I ever getting an education about this subject - It looks like 22 states are on board with the nursing license compact. I am disappointed that neither NY or Massachusetts are...

  18. "Reciprocity"??? Ya, sure

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Kyshamarks - you have a link about

  19. "Reciprocity"??? Ya, sure

    Diahni replied to Diahni's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Suzanne - I always thought it was a little strange that on one hand, you prove your competency by passing a national exam, then get licensed by the state. Why should this be so? If states are so...

    Diahni replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Nursing

    Oh dear! Take care of yourself! If your life is making you sick - gotta

  21. TIPS/Info for passing NCLEX

    Diahni replied to paula77720's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    SCN, Everybody says the same thing - nothing really prepares you for the strangeness that is the nclex - some people say best thing is to keep doing questions. Well, I though that was a real bore....

  22. I just took the NCLEX - PN, my thoughts.

    Diahni replied to BigB's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Supposedly, the number of questions can't tell you much. The only "generally true" thing I've heard is stopping at a low number means you passed. (Unless you missed them all!) Don't fret! The...

  23. TIPS/Info for passing NCLEX

    Diahni replied to paula77720's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sunnycalifornianurse: I like your new name! Anyway, I'd say I agree and disagree with this: True, no amount of tricks are going to help you if you don't already know the material you need to know. But...

  24. Trouble Makers

    Diahni replied to NurseyPoo's topic in General Nursing

    WeepingWillow: What a tale! It reminds me of the mischief that idle and evil minds can get into with the internet. A small population of people have always done this kind of thing - but the internet...

  25. Need Excelsior Clarification

    Diahni replied to LilDKessler's topic in Online Distance Learning

    P.S. Not sure if I was clear about this - when you apply to Excelsior, they will evaluate your past credits and tell you exactly what you need to have to graduate. Don't bother to try to figure this...
