  1. BSN but not a nurse

    So settle this with me, if someone graduated with their BSN and failed multiple attempts at the NCLEX, can they still claim BSN on credentials but not add RN to the end. Technically, they can't ever use the term "nurse" right? Asking for a "friend" w...
  2. BSN but not a nurse

    So how does one edit their comments?
  3. BSN but not a nurse

    So how does one take the NCLEX when you graduate nursing school before 2014? I don't remember the exact year she actually graduated, in another country.
  4. BSN but not a nurse

    There's lots of other issues such as credibility in a court of law for an upcoming misdemeanor trial of hers. I advised her to clean up social media so a lawyer doesn't break down her credibility for calling herself a nurse when she's not one.
  5. BSN but not a nurse

    She would probably be happier doing something she wants to do like business. Maybe that is her success. Having to be forced to pursue a nursing degree as opposed to what she really wanted/wants was unfortunate. I'm pretty darn sure she is not focu...
  6. BSN but not a nurse

    When this person tells me she only went to nursing school because her mom made her do it and that she wants to do something else, I know what she means. I have known this person since we were 5 years old. She really isn't into it.
  7. BSN but not a nurse

    She works at a dialysis center as a dialysis tech so she is working with patients.
  8. BSN but not a nurse

    The other issue is that on social media she freely refers to herself as a nurse in her biographies. In her mind, she is a nurse because she has her BSN.
  9. BSN but not a nurse

    Some people were not really serious about their taking the NCLEX and trying to pass. Maybe more interested in boys. I honestly don't want her becoming a nurse because I know it is truly not in her heart. I do believe it is a disservice to patients w...
  10. BSN but not a nurse

    LPN would be okay to say they are a "nurse" given it is Licensed Practical Nurse. RN would be Registered Nurse. But "nurse"? This person refers to herself as a Nurse in general. I would think that "nurse" would be a protected title with licensure req...
  11. I quit my job. No backup. But I feel ecstatic!

    I kind of did the same but I have home health as back up. I'm actively interviewing in other areas. But I sleep so well now without the use of any sleep aids I was taking while I worked my night shift. I'm looking for things not at the bedside but...
  12. I found a rebate for FA Davis Books!

    http://204.168.112.91/images/PDFs/ComboRebate2012.pdf When I was looking through the FA Davis website for resources related to my books I found some rebates. $12, $5, and $10 rebates depending on what you buy.
  13. Chandler Gilbert Community College Nursing Program

    I just graduated from CGCC in May and I too had a great experience. Don't believe the rumors of what you hear from the news. Your school experience will be determined by the amount of work that you put into in order to graduate and then pass the NCLE...

    When I said I wanted to learn how to surf, this was not what I had in mind.
  19. NOT SELECTED, Am I being perceived as a second class nurse?

    You may want to consider changing your approach on posting here with one being able to learn too much about you. Posting with your name in full view may work against you. Employers, managers HR people could go on here and read your rant. Just trying ...

    Okay CGCC Block 1, get to it next week! Good luck, I am finished and I passed Block 2. I might drop in every once in awhile for open lab this summer.
  22. Give Me Hope

    I worked 20 hours a week, volunteered 4 hours a week, and had school. It was doable since I don't have kids. You will need to be very organized with your time.

  24. Backpacks

    I bought a Samsonite rolling backpack. There are 2 pockets for water bottles, one on each side. Directly under those pockets are zippered pockets. Then there is a little pocket on the very top, then a medium pocket large enough for a netbook, then a ...
  25. Feeling really discouraged... Why do I suck so bad at IVs

    Try watching the education videos for med supply companies. I watched the BD.com videos and they had really good animations on how the angiocath goes in and what it looks like in the vein. By seeing the cross section animation, you may get an idea on...
