    Question about weekend schedules

    Julius Seizure replied to melc0305's topic in General Nursing

    Not even all younger nurses can do it. For health reasons or childcare reasons, I know several nurses in their 20s and 30s, including myself, that struggle with working frequent 3 day stretches of 12...

    I need ALL the advice I can get.

    Julius Seizure replied to LM NY's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Just something to consider: Will there ever be a chance to enter peds on day shift without doing nights first? In some hospitals there is a "waiting list" of night nurses trying to get a day spot in...

    Moving from TX to MI, still a student, where should I test?

    Julius Seizure replied to skeames's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. After graduation, the school still needs to send your authorization to test so its not like you can do the N-CLEX the next day anyway. You will have time to send transcripts and whatever...

    Educational Advertising at a for-profit program, what the?????

    Julius Seizure replied to LobotRN's topic in General Nursing

    Its my understanding that often these programs basically dont let you graduate and apply to take the N-CLEX unless they are pretty sure you are gonna pass, therefore keeping their pass rates

    why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?

    The other day the secretary in my unit had lots of great suggestions for my poor hungry client that was on a clear liquid diet. She even went to the doctor to suggest them....so very

    Really, is this real?!?!

    Julius Seizure replied to FlossyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Are you being unfairly taken advantage of as a new nurse? Probably not. No, those ratios aren't right and you should receive adequate training, but I bet you that everyone is in the same boat as you...

    Male student enters OB room. What do you think?

    Julius Seizure replied to truckinusa's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Just want to point out that this 'hypocritical BS' is what women have to deal with every day in many careers. So, you know, be encouraged by knowing that everybody is treated unfairly!

    Is nursing school really "that" bad?

    Julius Seizure replied to Nurseades2b's topic in General Students

    Nursing school wasn't easy, but that could be said of any (most?) college degree. I think what might be different about nursing is that along with the classes, assignments, and tests, there are also...

    Julius Seizure replied to lilgop's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly I clicked on this thread because I was assuming it was gonna be some crazy thing that a new grad wanted to wear and I was excited to read the responses. I like the necklace, I say wear it if...

    Go into nursing for the money?

    Julius Seizure replied to jackhensy's topic in General Nursing

    Just really look into if there are jobs available for LPNs. Wouldn't want you to spend the money, then not be able to find a job anyway. The market for LPNs is limited in many places. Have you...

    TB Testing/Reading Question

    Julius Seizure replied to hayest's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I wouldnt say that reading a TB test is "practicing medicine". However, I would say that it requires assessment and by that logic, I'm not sure that medical assistants should do it. However, not all...
