  1. Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    neuron replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    I saw the word 'impervious' on a test before, heck I've never used that word and don't know anyone who has. I don't even think a doctor uses that word (in the clinical setting). I could be wrong, but...

  2. Should I or should I go?

    neuron replied to WC_Nurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    a city of 500-700,00 probably would be exciting. My current town is a little over 4000. I'd say go to this city as you can go shopping, there are many jobs. Heck if there's a Walmart, then that...

  3. Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    neuron replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    Interestingly, reading comprehension is usually my weakest area (with probably 20 words on a standardized test that I've never heard of), math and science are my highest. Although we have weaknesses,...

  4. Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    neuron replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    Nursing school is hard enough in person then to switch up your routine more than half way through is unfair. There was no choice to switch but you can't choose your instructors in nursing school. You...

  5. Seeking Advice! Failed 2-Year Program. Now What?

    neuron replied to AliceBack2It's topic in General Students

    And technically colleges or NCLEX can't give a 'practice test' on learning skills, if you're a visual learner or hands on. During the pandemic, the students had to adjust to being online without hands...

  6. Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you everyone for your replies. I will update

  7. Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Without going in to too much detail, I guess you can say just nasty/bullying, from nurses, and the administrator. Horrible environment, this was the last straw and I feel like a target. I have always...

  8. Should I give a two weeks' notice?

    neuron replied to neuron's topic in General Nursing

    Those are just examples of what has happened but the main situation was recent where the administrator and another manager were being abusive. I feel the situation is uncalled

  9. Med error

    neuron replied to Firts ICu job's topic in Patient Medications

    who's judging? It's my observation and I based that on the grammar + med error. You can't conveniently make errors on the

  10. Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    neuron replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    It is also about being like-minded. Someone could be black white or hispanic, and you don't hang out with them, for example smokers might go on smoke breaks together, whatever race they are. To me it...

  11. Predatory New Grad Contracts

    neuron replied to CreamCheeseRangoons's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah and usually a contract isn't benefiting the nurse. Somewhere in between the lines it will say 'we can do whatever the law allows' and that doesn't mean ethical. You can't attend to 5 dying...

  12. Patient complaint - Did I mishandle this situation?

    neuron replied to lily8424's topic in General Nursing

    Just curious, how often does this happen? That the doctor doesn't do this themselves and lets the nurse be thrown to the

  13. "Thank you for your service"

    neuron replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    This here, I can't understand. Asians have always been kind and courteous, never rude or hard to deal with. I always trust an Asian worker, doctor. Can't see why the anti asian

  14. Is anyone in California living alone on an LVN salary?

    neuron replied to Student nurse lady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    To be a student without income is hard to live on your own in any state, Cali being one of the toughest. Have you considered being a CNA while doing LVN or RN? The hours are endless. The wages are...

  15. Racism in Nursing: Is It Real?

    neuron replied to jeastridge's topic in General Nursing

    Maam, you are making it like white people are oppressed, you aren't. Please stop. No one said you didn't have to go through anything. The comment was referring to a post about money and race please...

  16. How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    neuron replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    And lack of concern for overworked

  17. How many chances do you give a job before you quit?

    neuron replied to DesiDani's topic in General Nursing

    Sometimes people plan to leave or have a plan before quitting. And have to work at a certain job until it's possible. Having a job is better than no job in certain

  18. Med error

    neuron replied to Firts ICu job's topic in Patient Medications

    My perspective is you changed the route with a critical care patient who was vulnerable, controlled drug and you don't see why the nurse went to the supervisor immediately. That is her license, and a...

  19. Primary v.s. Secondary Diagnosis?

    neuron replied to livelovenursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Nurses HAVE to know medical diagnosis or be familiar with them. Nursing diagnosis are simply not used. Sure we have to know them in our assessments, what impaired skin integrity is or ineffective...

  20. Nurses aid**advice!

    neuron replied to Jstna96's topic in General Nursing

    If it is causing you to cry then it probably isn't worth

  21. Primary v.s. Secondary Diagnosis?

    neuron replied to livelovenursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This being used as a diagnosis, admitting or primary, I'm not sure it would even be considered as an acceptable diagnosis IRL. Pneumonia or CF sure, but all these other nursing handbook diagnosis,...

  22. Grocery store workers hazard pay

    neuron replied to 1gr8trnstudent's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm surprised by some of the responses here. There have been many nurses and other health care workers who have risked their lives and gotten sick themselves on their jobs, which they didn't sign up...

  23. Is 46 to old for LVN program and worth it?

    neuron replied to Bettyboop_girl's topic in General Students

    I don't think you should let age get in the way. I know nurses in their 70's, may not be running like the other nurses, but their heart is there. That is all that matters. So, you could still be a...

  24. Improving Hospital Nurse Staffing Is Associated with Fewer Deaths from Sepsis

    neuron replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Nursing News

    Not only in hospital staffing but in nursing homes or other facilities. These places run short, as a rule, and by the time the patients get to the hospital they already have sepsis or an advanced form...

  25. New Grad Needs Advice - Hostile Work Environment

    neuron replied to aap2020's topic in General Nursing

    It's easy for you to brush off because you haven't been on the receiving end. Whites have the same 'issues' as blacks in the inner city. Really? You believe that and KNOW that? So when someone refers...
