    Today after clinical I broke down in Tears!!:(

    carolinapooh replied to believeallispossible's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We didn't get an early go either - at any point - but I wouldn't say it's bad for learning. That depends on two things - the student and the instructor. If you're not permitted an early go, then the...

    And who wants to attack the legality of this? Because that's so illegal I don't know where to

    Nudity?

    carolinapooh replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    Hate to tell you, but at Duke we did head to toe assessments on each other, to include breast exams. Our assessment class was at the grad level so we did exactly what the grad students did. Just your...

    Pre nursing vs nursing which one is more difficult?

    carolinapooh replied to European's topic in General Students

    Guiltysins - I think that's a great post for someone who's not on this side of the bed yet, so to speak. You really seem as though you've thought it all through and know what your priorities are and...

    July '10 OBLC

    carolinapooh replied to atgrunt's topic in Government, Military

    Jeck's right - I know with the AF if the ticket is booked by you before orders are cut (or before they give you implicit instructions to do so) you won't necessarily be reimbursed for the ticket. My...

    Associates RN-BSN or straight BSN?? Which route to take???

    carolinapooh replied to RedHeadRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    I was going to say the same thing but it appears the poster addressed this by saying it regards the two programs in his/her area. I had more clinical hours in my accelerated BSN than the local ADN...

    Alternatives to Pajam...I Mean, Scrubs

    carolinapooh replied to NursingAgainstdaOdds's topic in General Nursing

    Iron them. I've had patients tell me they remembered me because I iron my scrubs. Takes five minutes and makes them look a whole lot

    Should I renew my licence now?

    carolinapooh replied to zakuro's topic in General Nursing

    I would guess that depends on how long your state renews licenses

    Air Force Nurse Corps

    carolinapooh replied to luvbug080688's topic in Government, Military

    The number of applicants to the USAF NC is on the rise and the recruiters are swamped. That said, blowing you off isn't good practice for anyone and I'm not excusing it. If you live close enough, put...

    Any Hospice nurses out there?

    carolinapooh replied to cmmny's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    You can't :) - I left that message for the moderators. Eventually your thread will get moved. But in the meantime, I highly recommend you check out the hospice-specific forum. I'm an onc RN and I...

    carolinapooh replied to ToddEMTP's topic in Online Distance Learning

    what a load of garbage. (and do not take me wrong - i'm completely in the poster's court here, even though the post is almost two years old.) i cannot believe that someone thought this person should...

    Dog on the floor, what do you think?

    carolinapooh replied to mappers's topic in General Nursing

    Not only that - but if one does it, then someone else will complain they want THEIR dog there, and then someone else wants their bird and then their cat....and it will snowball. At some point, it's...

    Being Sued / Losing License

    carolinapooh replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Compared to what an MD makes, RNs make nothing. And in certain areas of the country, RNs make less than squat. And I'd hazard a guess that a huge chunk of RNs on this board don't have 20+ years...

    carolinapooh replied to Meraki's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    OH - and while I realize it's only one example and an isolated case, I've already seen one instance where the ONLY people named in the lawsuit were the two RN's involved. Know why? The lawyer for one...

    Texas license wanting to move to oklahoma

    carolinapooh replied to jewels109's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Oklahoma is not a compact state, so your Texas license isn't automatically recognized. It will need endorsing by Oklahoma. You need to contact the Oklahoma State Board of Nursing for your answer;...

    Workplace violence

    carolinapooh replied to CNL2B's topic in General Nursing

    The term did the same to me the first time I heard it as well. I'm not a fan of it, but it's an accurate description - bullying, intimidation, and other tactics employed by persons who target others...
