2. Am I going to regret being a nurse?

   Reddy,RN replied to lovelylady42's topic in General Nursing

   You will love being a nursing student because at first your clinicals will give you time to listen to stories. As a nurse, listening for the patient's cues that could show physical or mental issues...

3. Why is nursing such a horrible job?

   Reddy,RN replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

   The rewarding moments are tantalizingly few and far between. Also, the interruptions are themselves interrupted, sometimes to a laughable degree, but laughing is not

4. Advice Please

   Reddy,RN replied to Suzanne44's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

   My advice is enjoy your day job with weekends off and your 65K. Neither is realistically possible for a new RN. Start taking the prereqs in the evenings to see how it goes. Nursing is not a...

7. Silly reason for ER visit?

   Reddy,RN replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

   True. I even remember a House episode where a perfectly healthy woman in Antarctica had an undiagnosed broken toe. It created fat emboli which traveled through her system and caused all sorts of...

   The video of the UMass Amherst Nursing Clinical Sim Lab makes it look like a really great place to get to practice what you need to know before meeting real patients.

9. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

   Reddy,RN replied to SheriLynnRN's topic in General Nursing

   Whew! What a thread. These may be in pages 25 to 89 but they're my pet peeves so, in no particular order: 1.) jewelry is not joo-ler-ee. It's jew-el-ry. 2.) unique doesn't get qualified: nothing can...

11. You can pass NCLEX with 77 questions

    Reddy,RN replied to aspiring_midwife_wi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Thanks for your post. The NCLEX was the single most disorienting test of my life, including the GRE. I remember getting angry too at so many "You are the nurse..." questions. I remember clicking those...

    Reddy,RN replied to dare_to_care's topic in General Nursing

    Less time a day than TOG but closer to 4 weeks. And yes, every bit of that little book was mine by the time I was done. One thing that proved enormously helpful in practice and on GRE day was to...

13. I need help please, GRE test

    Reddy,RN replied to dare_to_care's topic in General Nursing

    I think a guide of some sort makes sense. A few years ago The Princeton Review Crash Course for the GRE 2d edition gave me what I needed in Verbal, Math and Analytical Writing. Even more, it gave me...

14. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    Reddy,RN replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Some posts really make me wonder. Some make me think. A student who has ebonics deeply ingrained? Seriously? Who talks about ebonics any more? No learning contract at all this semester for him? No...
