  1. Why does everyone say that they "consigned" a drug waste.....

    SeattleJess replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Argggh! Argggh! MAKE IT

  2. Nurse Slang Yo!

    SeattleJess replied to ladysushi's topic in General Nursing

    Happy birthday! How glorious to be young, strong and in possession of all your senses! Revel in it. By the way, I think your response showed diplomacy and a healthy sense of self. You will do well, I...

  3. PVT: Question of Character?

    SeattleJess replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wow. I bow down to your vast store of arcane and fascinating knowledge! Way to spice up a thread,

  4. PVT: Question of Character?

    SeattleJess replied to oldandintheway's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I cannot flame you for lighting this fire and shining some light on a practice that seems... dubious, shall we say? After I figured out what these threads were about, I stopped reading them....

  5. Failed NCLEX-RN Aug 2015

    SeattleJess replied to BloggerNurse's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Wishing you the best of luck! I do believe luck has a hand in it because I tend to overthink and SATA questions can be my downfall. Let us know how it goes, you have a bunch of people cheering for...

  6. Exhausted

    SeattleJess replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    I remember that feeling well! You are so not alone in your experience. You can learn to work smarter. Your campus probably has a learning center that teaches how to read textbooks, take notes, and...

  7. Screwed Over by My School

    SeattleJess replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Watch out, Chaos! I sense a grievance headed your

  8. Screwed Over by My School

    SeattleJess replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    I'd never take this case. Damages are too speculative and too small. Would OP have passed NCLEX? Would OP have received a job offer? Would OP have made it through the probationary period? And how much...

  9. Screwed Over by My School

    SeattleJess replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Bingo!

  10. Screwed Over by My School

    SeattleJess replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Sadly, perhaps, the events that are screaming headlines in 72 font bold type to us personally in the All About Me Chronicle do not warrant even a small one-liner buried in the lifestyles section of...

  11. The Controversy: Mandatory Flu Vaccines

    SeattleJess replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    1) YES. Do you take the flu vaccine yearly? If you do not, what is the reason you do not participate (if you don't mind answering this question)? 2) YES. Does your employer have a mandatory influenza...

  12. Tough point in my life

    SeattleJess replied to BearFeet's topic in General Nursing

    Medical leave is an excellent idea. You might want to talk to a lawyer about your rights under the Family Medical Leave and Americans With Disabilities Acts as well as possible other state laws. But...

  13. To The Point Where I Want to Cry

    SeattleJess replied to BambiBelle07's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not true. He can only abuse you if you allow it and/or stick around for

  14. Nurses and their pens

    SeattleJess replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    ...or wear your pen on a

  15. Attorney contacted me about lawsuit

    SeattleJess replied to forgop's topic in General Nursing

    I'd get my own counsel. By all means, please remember that THIS ATTORNEY DOES NOT REPRESENT

  16. Is going straight from nursing school to nurse supervisor a good career choice?

    SeattleJess replied to Theloving100's topic in General Nursing

    These are excellent answers to this question, much better than my knee-jerk response of "Are you flippin' NUTS?" Easy money is a terrible motivation for doing almost anything... and if it seems too...

  17. I have a dilemma

    SeattleJess replied to Careerchange88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Excellent question, and the first one that popped into my mind. Most of the students in my cohort had 4.0 GPAs. I could have done an accelerated BSN program, but I have a BS degree and I didn't see...

  18. Taking 20 credit hours?

    SeattleJess replied to Kaylle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you are cheating yourself by not allowing yourself to spend maximum time on your prerequisites. Once you get to nursing school, you will have no time to go back and do deep learning. I think...

  19. Pt asks: Is my surgeon any good? Your response is...

    SeattleJess replied to CrunchBerries's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's how we're taught in my nursing school to respond to any question about a provider's competence. "Are you feeling anxious about (surgery, medical diagnosis, whatever.)" The instructors who...

  20. Overweight

    SeattleJess replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Crunchberries, I'm not saying "low-fat" or "no-fat." I'm just saying (obviously not very well) that people make the potato into a dietary landmine by piling on butter, cheese, bacon and/or deep frying...

  21. Be candid how do I handle my illnesses with regards to the BON if I get an interview.

    SeattleJess replied to honeyforasalteyfish's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What la_chic said! Hide nothing from your nursing school. My school let's prospective students make an appointment with an advisor and faculty is 100% committed to helping students to succeed. (They...

  22. Taboo: 10 Things Nurses Should NEVER Say!

    SeattleJess replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    I love you. Love you. Love you. I am committing your formula to memory so I can use it to do a

  23. Taboo: 10 Things Nurses Should NEVER Say!

    SeattleJess replied to Julie Reyes's topic in General Nursing

    Cannot like this enough! (Probably why I quoted you, so everyone gets a chance to read this again.) I appreciate and enjoyed the humor of the article. I think it's very human to think this way....

  24. Overweight

    SeattleJess replied to MCNERRA's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Don't give up tasty taters, just the butter and
