Geez, I feel like people are being super harsh on here, unfortunately the attitudes that are being thrown at you looks like the true face of nursing. Unfortunately it seems in the "Great Profession" of ours we seem to point the finger and deal with ...

Hi All...Can anyone tell me if they know of any company that makes Plus sized 4X scrubs in tall. I can wear a 2X because I have a small waist, however my hips and thighs are a little bit more proportioned. I can fit into a 3X tall in the Wink brand...

I am a "New Nurse" I have been working for 10 months now on a med surg floor. I Love being a Nurse. When I graduated I took the first job I found on a busy Med Surg floor. I admit I did not do any research, I did not shadow or anything. Once I st...

Thank you all for your feedback. I feel better. I am going to use this as a learning and growing experience.

What hospital do you work at?

I am also a new grad and I work on a med surg unit. I am 3 months in and I agree it is horrible. While I do not have to lie about charting I do have unsupportive mean and bitter :argue:coworkers, and a lazy and absent Nurse manager. My nurse mana...

Congrats to you all for taking the NCLEX I wish you all well. Check back on the Pearson Vue website and if you try to register and you get the pop up that says "Our records indicate that you have recently scheduled this exam. Please contact your Me...

I love being a Christian Nurse. I know there are many people out there that do not share my beliefs but, I care for them the same as I would someone who shared my beliefs. I did not become a Nurse to take care of people who believe the same as I do...

Hi All, I have been a nurse since December 2011. I want nothing more than to be a Nurse but my first job that I have is awful. The staff is Catty, no one answers call lights, my manager is rarely at work and if she is she is too busy to pay attenti...

Thank you all for your wonderful advice. I knowi made the right decision becoming a Nurse. It's just difficult to work in a less than desirable environment with people who look down on others. But I am a Nurse and they can't take that from me.

Good grief, I didn't mean to start a riot. I love being a Nurse in general but my post was in response to another post that said how do you take care of patients that don't share your beliefs. My response I would take are of them the same way I wol...

Hello, Does anyone else have any experience with having Lazy patient care tech's on their floor. The ones on my floor hide in a back room. If you approach them and ask them for help they get upset. I try not to waste time searching for them but I ...

Thank you Ashley, you are correct I absolutely had unrealistic expectations. I appreciate your feedback. I did very well in Nursing School so I automatically thought working would be just as easy. Your post eased some of the stress I had. I will ...

ok i amconsidered obese but i have no health problems, i am active and guess what, iwork harder than many of my co workers that are not considered obese. everyonedoes not fit into a perfect category. give a person a chance, the"obese" nurse you turn ...

I had one of our tech's tell me last night that she was going to leave a patient soiled in bed until I was done passing meds so I could help her change the patient, because Nurses need to know how it feels to be a tech. So I politely told her that I...

Congrats, I work in Med Surg and I cant wait to be able to work in ED

Do you really need to give your job 6 months. I know now it isn't right and it isn't going to get better. My working environment is TOXIC to say the least

New Grad, with New Anxiety right here. Hopefully it goes away soon

I to am a new Grad. I graduated in December and I work on a Med Surg Unit. I started my new position in February and I can easily have a 7 patient assignment during day shift. If I work nights 7-8 patients sometimes 9 if we are short. It is HARD...

I agree mindlor, I too want to be a Nurse manager and that is something I would not tolerate. It does not make for a healthy work environment.

Is it standard to have to be a Nurse for one year before you travel?

Hi aisha, I saw your message in my inbox but the system would not allow me to reply. I just wanted to say thank you for the Congrats on passing the NCLEX I appreciate it. I feel your Kaplan scores are fine they are around what mine were. My key wa...

Thank You. Don't be afraid ( I know it's easier said than done) Just do lots of Nclex practice questions. If you can do Kaplan then I would say do it. I honestly did not use their decision tree because it conused me, I just utilized their test ta...

I am happy to report that the results are in and I passed my NCLEX the first time. What a relief!!! To everyone out there it is really not as bad as many people make it out to be. I graduated in December and I just took it this past Monday April 2n...

I took the NCLEX RN this morning and it shut off at 180 questions. I am freaking out! I thought I would have some sense of relief once it was all over....but no, I do not! I had a lot of select all that apply and I keep hearing that is a Good thin...
