  1. Student caught stealing....

    Would you press criminal charges if one of your students took money from your wallet? The student has been expelled from the program but has not returned the money If I press charges theres a chance I could get my money back and hopefully she would ...
  2. adult tele rn to picu?

    I went from tele to PICU and will NEVER go back to adults again. It's a whole new world but I've been in PICU for 6 years and love it. Good Luck to you :)
  3. Student caught stealing....

    I know she will not be admitted to another nursing program, she's been humiliated in front of her peers and family and has to deal with the shame I'm certain she is feeling. I think she has been punished enough and truely hope she has learned from t...
  4. Student caught stealing....

    You do not know that she didn't take the money for the fun of it. You really don't know much about the situation at all. I am offended by your question of her background and ethnicity. As if I'd press charges based on that alone. If you must know...
  5. Student caught stealing....

    She was 26. Old enough to know better.
  6. VP shunt...yikes

    Thanks for the update. It's truely unbelievable that he is functioning so well. I'm still trying to wrap MY brain around the fact that his is "sloshing" I do hope he has a positive outcome and that the sloshing goes away soon!
  7. VP shunt...yikes

    I agree with all of the above posters. I've never heard of this. I'll ask our Neuro surg. what he thinks but am curious as to what happened to your patient. Please give an update :)

  9. Student caught stealing....

    Just a quick update... As of December 23, 2010 the student was found guilty of theft under $1500.00. She's been ordered by the Department of Justice to pay $35.00 in court costs and $94.00 in restitution. I hope to receive a check any day now. Than...

  11. Student caught stealing....

    I'm not sure if anyone is still following this but here's an update. I gave the student one week to try to make things right. I gave her the opportunity to contact me, she chose not to. The dean requested a meeting with the student via voicemail. ...

  13. I passed my first semester of BSN school!

    Don't stress over the math. Statistics is just reading comprehension. Figure out what they are asking and apply the formula. That's what my math minded brother told me and it helped! Hope it helps you :)
  14. What does your username mean?

    My mothers favorite doll was Raggeddy Ann and she's why I went into nursing. My first year nursing I felt pretty beat up...let's just say cardiac step-down was NOT for me. RaggedyRN is a play on the doll name and how I felt that first year...pretty...

  18. Student caught stealing....

    Yes I'm still reading the opinions. I take issue with the poster who questioned my professionalism for coming to a gossipy site like this for opinions. I came here looking for support which I have always received in the past. I am waiting until Mon...
  19. Student caught stealing....

    As soon as the security oficer had a confession he called the housekeeper and apologized profusely. The first thing I did, after seeing the tapes and suspecting the student , was return to the floor and assure the staff that there were a few suspect...
  20. Student caught stealing....

    Thanks for the replies! Seems to be almost unanamous. Only one person suggested talking to her. I was leaving it up to the Dean to tell her about the expulsion. I was also waiting to see if the hospital was going to press charges. The hospital ju...
  21. Student caught stealing....

    I noticed $20.00 missing from my wallet last week. This Thursday I owed money to a co-worker (She makes American Girl Doll clothes) and there was a book fair at work. On Thursday morning I stopped at the ATM before clinicals. I knew I was taking a...
