Britt, everything is relative. 4.0 in what? Quantum physics or Algebra? You need to get over it. 4.0 gpa's look good on paper. When you're on the floor and make a mistake, no one cares if you had a 4.0. Yes Britt, most people in nursing who do ...

No I don't. I'm still in school. I have done research on laws, nursing boards, nursing schools, etc. for years now. I knew when I applied and accepted into school that I was rolling the dice. I won't bore you with a 'god' story. Bottom line is, i...

Every state is different. Different rules, criteria, whatever. I can speak on my behalf and tell you what I have been told by "people in the know". 1. Maybe the most important suggestion I can give to anyone...especially with a criminal record...B...

I don't think anybody goes into nursing to clean up **. I didn't. There's nothing wrong with that. I accept it as part of the job and I do what I need to do. Im not planning on being in a specialty that requires doing this so no...I am not becomi...

It is fun working with me CrunchRN. You will see me around here in the future also. I will walk softly though...not sure how many warnings I get before the eyes in the sky kick me off

Yes! You are correct! See, we have all agreed the entire time and didn't know it! I am going to learn how females communicate on this site. The tongue lashing will only make me a better communicator and nurse. It can be tough to grasp an underst...

Sweet. Ok. Everytime I post and make people mad I am going to post this tongue flicker thingy. BlueDevil, since I have deterred the flack from you I am stealing your signature mark. The smiley face that looks like he is...well...nevermind, is min...

Thank you.

You're comparing what is understood amongst healthcare workers vs. the average person on the street. Second, a BM is a BM but the point being they aren't all necessarily the same.

Ok. Point taken. Did you understand the point I was making? MA's shouldn't be called nurses. LPN's and RN's are nurses. I think I have covered this already. Are they the same? No. That was my point. I also explained that when someone simply ...

You don't have super powers? What's wrong with you? Just kidding. I don't either.

So we agree to disagree, you dislike the way my posts are written, and I don't care for yours. The way I see it, we break even.

So...we agree to disagree?

I know CrunchRN, I am going to have to word things very carefully from now on. At least I diverted the attention from BlueDevil for a while.

The only other thing I want to know is how do I get a smiley face that flicks it tongue, like BlueDevil has, on my posts?

"...when they need her assistance..." So all nurses are female? No, the majority are however which is why, instinctively, you used the word "her". Being a male, I am not offended, and understand. This is the point that I was making. When someone...

I agree limaRN. I hope I work with nurses like you.

SaoirseRN, please stop with the "lose your attitude", I never had an attitude. Did you read all the posts of this thread? I suppose anyone who disagrees or doesn't side with you or the majority have attitude problems. With your train of thought, I...

Ok, let's try this one more time. -The original point I was making, pertains to the point originally made on this thread: giving the same title to everyone even though the skills/education is not the same. -Nurseel56, I will answer your question with...

You are talking about the word "nurse" that happens to be in your title vs. the idea people get when you use certain terms. I think it is safe to assume no one caught on to that.

I had a feeling this wasn't going to go anywhere. I didn't insult anyone. There was no attitude. SaoirseRN, you simply repeated what I already stated. It is possible they may be doctors...they may be astronauts also. Both "they may be" scenarios...

I understand BlueDevil's point. In a few months I will understand the other side of the coin as well. No offense to LPN's (I am a nursing student just for the record), but when I become an R.N., it would be a tad irritating for the LPN's to call th...

I somehow get the sense that maybe he isn't the moron.

Male's can have a rough time when they become R.N.'s in a female dominated profession.

Latasha, I have a history myself so I understand how you feel. We have to get a few things straight to give you the best chance at succeeding and becoming a nurse. First, as I read your statements, I notice grammatical errors. I'm not the "grammar ...
