    Am I able to get a raise once I get my BSN?

    NurseGirl525 replied to nightflower's topic in General Nursing

    We all make the same. To them RN=RN. Now, down the road you higher degree may open up more doors for you. But I doubt right now in the same position it means

    Ice machine use in hospitals

    NurseGirl525 replied to olcroner's topic in General Nursing

    It goes in a bag and doesn't touch the patient. I'm not understanding your rationale. I fill them from the ice machine. The same ice chips I give my patients to suck on. You may be the instructor,...

    I love a nurse

    NurseGirl525 replied to johnsbro's topic in Emergency

    Here is what jeans the most to me and it's going to sound familiar. When I work my 13 hour shifts, I come home to a clean house, dinner taken care of, and a glass of wine waiting on me. I do after...

    Failed 1st Attempt

    NurseGirl525 replied to parianoya616's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Your scores with Kaplan sound good. I'm going to explain something to you though. No study aid is like NCLEX questions. Kaplan, Uworld, Saunders, they all focus on content. NCLEX is about how safe...

    Failed NCLEX due to anxiety! Need new review course!!

    NurseGirl525 replied to Yogsdaleo,RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I guess here is my thing, we all had anxiety taking that test. I shook and was terrified as well. You are making an excuse as to why you failed. I'm sorry, you are. If you want to pass next time,...

    Does any school accept Hondros College credits?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Vivanurse's topic in School, College Programs

    I would actually get in touch with schools in your area and ask. This is a world wide site and so 98% of us have never heard of hondros college. If it's a commercial school, I highly doubt anybody...

    Am I wrong from refusing to help a friend?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    First, neither of you are in any programs yet. It sounds like if she can't pass basic bio, she's not getting into a PT program. My sister is a PT and it is a doctoral program that you need the grades...

    I have a kids question!

    NurseGirl525 replied to ant123's topic in General Nursing

    I stayed home with mine until they were in school full time. It was a personal decision and I was able to afford it. Not everyone can. I would not expect my job to be there if o took time off....

    Overcharting

    I only do pain reassessments. Now, if it's say an insulin drip, the glucometer reading is documented. What else do you need to

    Dog had emergency surgery last night.

    NurseGirl525 replied to hppygr8ful's topic in General Nursing

    My thoughts exactly. Im so sorry for your dog, but I would not spend that much. It hurt when I had to put any of my dogs down, but I couldn't spend that. You are a hero to

    New job- non floor nursing

    NurseGirl525 replied to MMA14's topic in General Nursing

    This sounds like a personal, family issue. Can your family take the hit? Most can't as they get used to living at a certain standard. You will have to restructure financially. Just a few words for...

    Help! Scared New Grad RN. Did I make the right career choice?

    NurseGirl525 replied to jpRN51's topic in General Nursing

    In every, single profession, you will find people that are negative and hate their job. It's up to you, not them, on how well you will do your job. I love my preceptor. She is kind, patient, and...

    Answer me if you have experience in Uworld

    NurseGirl525 replied to raayoub's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Good luck!! You will leave feeling what the heck just happened to me on that test. You will feel you failed. I promise. But, after the terrible wait to see if you passed, you will begin to...

    I don't think I'm smart enough for the nursing program

    NurseGirl525 replied to ChrissieBabi24's topic in General Students

    OP, this is a depression problem. YOU are depressed. This is not something that can be blamed on other people or situations. You need to realize YOU need counseling or a doctor now. I'm saying that...

    NurseGirl525 replied to Nurseonality_03's topic in General Students

    Wow, relocating for Chamberlain, a for profit? You are spending a whole lot of money for a school that generally it's credits don't transfer. I would investigate a little further. I also wouldn't...

    Answer me if you have experience in Uworld

    NurseGirl525 replied to raayoub's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know this old, but seriously Uworld, you are crazy telling people 60% or above with your questions. Uworld questions are ridiculously hard and are too narrow on their focus. I passed in 75...

    Forced Bath's is this taking away a patients rights?

    NurseGirl525 replied to Health-Nut's topic in General Nursing

    I also wanted to add, so what if the CNA wanted to stay a CNA? I don't get that. If she is happy in her job, and makes enough money to live, why does she have to further her career? I know people...

    Nurse Tech Position

    NurseGirl525 replied to adcinhae's topic in General Students

    It is for nursing students as they want to hire you after you graduate if you are a good employee. That's your perk. It's normally called a patient care tech. If they hire you to be a nurse, the...
