  1. Ridiculous medical mistakes on TV

    enuf_already replied to adventure_rn's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm always impressed when they defibrillate for a normal sinus rhythm. It's not PEA because no one bothers to check for a pulse. Or my other favorites: The beeping of a cardiac monitor and sound of a...

  2. Rn Nclex

    enuf_already replied to 2bRnluv4lif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This is correct. You still failed the entire test (as in were not allowed to practice or call yourself an RN) until you received a passing score on the section you failed. Retakes were given with the...

  3. BSN online vs. BSN University

    enuf_already replied to ccohen's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Biggest con of online is that it is very self directed. Some programs vary in response time from professors, clarity of assignments, and accuracy of the syllabus. Some programs are also accelerated,...

  4. Hiring experienced nurses vs hiring new graduates

    enuf_already replied to edogs334's topic in Nurse Management

    I quoted snippets of your post. Years ago there were actually programs that taught nurses how be functional in a hospital setting on day 1 of their job. They were called hospital based diploma...

  5. med pass

    enuf_already replied to travelpat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm confused. Are you still off work or are you back to work without restrictions from your injury? If you are unable to do your job and your employer is unable to accommodate you to find something...

  6. Reasons patients turn on their call light

    enuf_already replied to diamondp17's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, it IS a full moon

  7. Help! Advice needed!

    enuf_already replied to rnbb84's topic in General Nursing

    No need to feel guilty. You do not need to explain why you can't work. A polite sorry, I'm not able should suffice. If they needed someone full time, they should have advertised for full time. Just my...

  8. Case study - what would you do?

    enuf_already replied to Lev's topic in General Nursing

    With his insistence that he wants nothing but oxygen, is he trying to hide something? Drugs? Are we assuming cardiac because of the mention of sharp chest and shoulder pain when maybe it could be...

  9. Wouldn't it make more sense to have all nurses become Rn's first?

    enuf_already replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    The ANA can't require anything. They have no jurisdiction to make requirements about nursing education in your state. If you don't understand the ANA's position, read their position statement. As...

  11. would adult camodeling affect your licence or ability to get a job?

    enuf_already replied to Morgan264's topic in General Nursing

    Rule of thumb: if you have to ask whether it may get you in trouble or affect your ability for licensure or to get a job down the road, don't do

  12. Rn Nclex

    enuf_already replied to 2bRnluv4lif's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thirty plus years ago, the NCLEX was a 2 day test. It was broken into 3 sections each day over several hours for each section (this was too many years ago for me to get every detail exact). It was...

    enuf_already replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    OP. I don't plan to stay at the hospital scene for long, ill simply use it to gain tech/future RN experience and then i plan to switch to working in a clinic or doctors office as a family NP, I...

  15. Comfortable living?

    enuf_already replied to Kdao's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! I commend you for asking questions now and actually considering the financial end of the career you choose (or don't choose). Whether any job provides a comfortable living really...

  16. Can a deaf person be a nurse

    enuf_already replied to AmberBradford's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Do they realize that although it may be an annoyance for them, it is life-altering for you? Do people with perfect hearing think that those with hearing loss or deafness enjoy missing out on...

  17. Ambulance transfer service name suggestions?

    enuf_already replied to BIGT68's topic in General Nursing

    The Travel Squad (or The Transfer Squad) Squad meaning both ambulance and

  18. How do I answer "what is your nursing plan of care" on a clinical based question?

    enuf_already replied to barcode120x's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    C'mon new nurse. You can do this! Your granny is in this bed and she is counting on you to make her feel better. What do people who have pneumonia usually look like? What might the doctor order to...

  19. What does an order of "Q2D" mean to you?

    enuf_already replied to Manofstone's topic in General Nursing

    Q2D means nothing to me but R2D2 means everything! May the Force be with

  20. this is for a school assignment

    enuf_already replied to courtney2224's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey--what do you mean ridiculous? They were all real answers. Sort of. But they require an explanation--which I'll only give face to face 😉 That's my story and I'm stickin' to

    Okay, I'll bite. 1. What attracted you to the field of nursing? Doctors 2. What do you like best about your school/job? Doctors 3. What do you like least about school/job? Doctors 4....

  22. Job rejection reason - anyone ever had this happen?

    enuf_already replied to bearpaw2222's topic in General Nursing

    Look at it this way. You wanted a reason. They gave you one. It was lame, vague, and likely the standard answer for "not a good fit." Don't look at it as being rejected. Look at it as being saved...

  23. Bold Teens

    enuf_already replied to dreamer30's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    Because they can! (And they're teenagers.). Time, place, and company don't

  24. Sex, Porn & Roto-Prone Beds.....

    enuf_already replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Don't wear yourself out. We missed you terribly! At one point, we contemplated adopting the acronym WWED? (What would Esme do?). Many threads disappeared into oblivion (for good reason) and some...

  25. Become a Nurse without Nursing School

    enuf_already replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    The threads won't stop. The title will change to: Pearson rips off poor graduates. Or Pearson won't release my results (until I pay the money I authorized on a Visa gift card with no
