    Ask an OR nurse (Questions about what we do or how to become one of us)

    springchick1 replied to Rose_Queen's topic in Operating Room

    And it's the same for nurses transferring into the OR. I've seen some do very, very well and others who can hardly survive. Like Rose said, a lot depends on personality and

    Screaming match with my preceptor

    springchick1 replied to jherd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It may have been unprofessional and unfair of her, but that does not give them the excuse to get in a "screaming match" with the preceptor. That's childish and unprofessional and very well could cost...

    Nclex and PVT

    springchick1 replied to capemay's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    It is a trick. There is no truth to any of it. And your test isn't graded for the second time until it's been 24 hours. There is also no truth to passing/failing based of the difficulty of your last...

    Nationally vs regionally

    springchick1 replied to Shawn4455's topic in General Students

    This has nothing to do with accreditation but if your TEAS score was low, you may want to consider retaking it and trying to improve your score. Getting into Nursing School is very competitive and you...

    School may be important to you but her wedding day is not all about you. She shouldn't have to reschedule HER wedding so that you can go to lab. Skip lab. Life is more than

    Where can I get in ADN with dorms?

    springchick1 replied to LH0484's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Meant to hit the quote button, not the thank button[emoji16] Is your daughter even interested in becoming a nurse? I ask because I would think she would want to look into schools herself, busy or...

    Final Grade D = 74%

    springchick1 replied to nodirection29's topic in General Students

    It depends on what your GPA is. If you've now failed 3 classes, your GPA probably isn't the best. The majority of schools will not accept credits from other schools so don't expect the classes you did...

    Ortho floor nurse or OR Nurse?

    springchick1 replied to KMarie10's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It may depend on the area. I know many people who have transitioned from the OR to ICU, ER, OB, and Med Surg without a problem. And one of the ladies in the ER had been in the OR for 23

    I hate group projects

    springchick1 replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    And unfortunately, it doesn't end with group projects. We have hired a string of young, new grads lately who are the same way at work. I'm not saying that they are all like that, but we have quite a...

    Bad job reference from my school...now what?

    springchick1 replied to Dreamscometru's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think part of the problem here is that OP wasn't prepared. She said herself she sent out a mass email to all her instructors asking for a reference. You don't do things like. You go into an...

    Always with the NETY. And you got a lot of advice. Some you wanted to hear and some that you didn't. Please don't ever come to a message board and expect to be in your side and tell you exactly what...

    springchick1 replied to nurse1990's topic in Canada

    I didn't mean to like this. I meant to quote it. Whoops! The only thing the nurse manager is going to tell you is to contact HR. A little determination is one thing, pestering people is another. Wait...
