    "Your ER sucks!" and other pleasantries...how you handle them?

    duskyjewel replied to livingthedream77's topic in Emergency

    Cute. We conservatives are the reason nurses have a crappy lot in life, and labor unions are the ONLY way to solve those problems. Good that you didn't drag politics into it,

    duskyjewel replied to emlv's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Except there's already been at least one report of someone who tried that and paid $200, but later found out they passed. That $200 is not refundable. So I guess if you can afford to flush $200 down...

    duskyjewel replied to Buzo's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Me too, BUT I'm already sure I'll have a job when I finish, and that's a huge part of why I feel comfortable going that route. I have an unrelated BA from 17 years ago, and plan to take prereqs slowly...

    Throwing out pillows!? Does anyone else do this!?

    The next time she complains about not getting raises, remind her of how many thousands of dollars she's probably thrown out. At my workplace, one of our heavily promoted cultural beliefs is "spend...

    I don't really have a comment as to whether you should go to the school in question, but THANK YOU for doing some research and due diligence, and not just jumping blindly! More people need to be like...

    duskyjewel replied to Fortsucc's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Man, I am so sorry. That really stinks. I guess it's time to start a job search. See if you can get some PRN work anywhere while looking for full time. Anyone have advice about what to say when...
