    nurse4theplanet replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in MICU, SICU

    Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    nurse4theplanet replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    It also bothers me that the writer seems to label nursing still as more of a vocation and not necessarily a profession, therefore not worthy of higher pay. Did anyone else get that impression or was...

    Is it Just me or is school too easy?

    nurse4theplanet replied to richardjboro1's topic in Male Nursing Students

    It's great that you are not feeling it to be "hard" or "overwhelming". I did...but still managed to bust out mostly A's and a few B's...for me it was the time management issues. For the most part,...

    Case study:Schizo with gun. How did I do?

    nurse4theplanet replied to lab211's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, call security/code for pt with a weapon and get anyone you can out of sight...pts and staff! Once security has restrained the threatening pt, then it will be safe to approach, assess, and...

    take it seriously?

    nurse4theplanet replied to Medsport's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    in my opinion (and I stress those words...no intentions to offend) an excellent nurse is an avid learner who has an insatiable (sp?) appetite for knowledge...the more you know the more you grow as the...

    nurse4theplanet replied to al1482's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    6 years? Why so long if you don't mind answering? Have you attempted to find a refresher course...most times offered to students who fail boards multiple times or nurses who have left nursing and...

    Badly Paid Nurse a Good Nurse

    nurse4theplanet replied to foxyhill21's topic in General Nursing

    I think poorly paid economists are the better economists! How do you like that Mr. Heyes??? Just because one finds satisfaction in their job (the vocational advantage mentioned) does NOT justify a...

    is confidence a turn off

    nurse4theplanet replied to alluvme's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Disclosing Depression in A Nursing Job Interview

    nurse4theplanet replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't do it. It's really none of their business. Why even risk leaving yourself open for discrimination (because there is always somebody who will discriminate...)? In psych, saying that you...

    I want/wanted to quit Nursing school.....?

    nurse4theplanet replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I wanted to quit nursing school because... 1. I really would rather be a millionaire than work my butt off 2. I really didn't want to spend ALL my free time studying instead of having fun with my...

    My CRNA friends do illegal drugs

    nurse4theplanet replied to DrugReptoNurse's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Bottom Line...It's illegal. There is no literature within the Nurse Practice Act, within any facility policy, or within the law of the US that allows healthcare professionals to use illegal drugs,...

    nurse4theplanet replied to mermaid36's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sorry but I think this is bad advice. I think the OP has already realized that she has pushed herself to the limit and it is affecting her grades and sanity. My first semester of nursing school...

    The Today Show

    nurse4theplanet replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    I have noticed that once you get beyond 10 pages of any thread the topic switches to one of three things: ADN vs. BSN (or RN vs. LPN), the nursing shortage, or uniforms. Why is

    nurse4theplanet replied to mrparhamrvt's topic in General Nursing
