  1. You can do it on your own! You don't need parents. It's nice but not necessary. In college I would often become envious of my friends who had school paid for by their parents. Now I realize I'm better off. I've learned valuable life lessons early in ...

    Did the PVT trick and paid the 200

    Sorry to hear you failed! This happens to some of the best nurses. I used a empty visa gift card when I did the PVT so I did not risk the $200.Maybe that will work for you next time. Good luck!!!

    HIV needle stick

    I would report this immediately. Even if it's nothing this was certainly a near miss that needs to be reported perhaps to help you in the future and possibly other employees.

    Help! I look young!

    What is the point of your response? To be rude? This response does not answer or help anyone. If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all.

    ALF staffing and workload

    Staffing in a lot of ALFs depend on the level of need of the residents and if they are private pay or not. You could have 30 residents that are level one fully independent and staff just does their laundry and makes their meals. ALF and SNF are ver...

    Talky Nurse

    I work with a talky nurse as well. When she's distracting me I ask her for help with something. This seems to do the trick because then she gets distracted with the task:) I really don't know how she finishes everything and still finds time to chat:)

    Nurses Who Don't Want to be Nurses

    These are the two main reasons why became a RN. I don't think this makes me less of a nurse. I'm still great at my job! I didn't have a calling to do anything else so why not make good money and help people:)

    Kaplan Qbank - harder, easier or about the same as the NCLEX?

    I felt Kaplan was a lot harder than nclex. My Qbank scores also went down before my test.I found qtrainer 6 and 7 to be helpful. I passed with 75 and I was sure I was going to fail.
