    Going to Nursing school in Puerto Rico

    OrganizedChaos replied to missesa's topic in US Territories, Puerto Rico

    I don't think the schools there would be as good as in the U.S. I would definitely check the NCLEX pass rates & look for reviews. Are the schools nationally or regionally accredited? Do your...

    ... Then why are you applying to FL? You need to be directing & your questions to the NV BON. You are making this waay more complicated than it needs to

    Lol. It's ok, we can still be friends. As long as you're not one of those people who hunts down turtles to run them over in your car on purpose. Then we're cool.

    Yep, been there/done that. I live out in the country so I'm constantly trying not to hit big & small animals alike.

    OrganizedChaos replied to JCAR's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Foreign educated nurses have a lower pass rate on the NCLEX than US educated nurses. Take the remediation course & look back at the CPR that you received after the NCLEX to see what areas you are...

    Lost CNA Hospital job

    OrganizedChaos replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    The firing was 100% your fault, down to the last detail. If this is how you are now, don't continue in the healthcare field because it won't get any better. Yes, you need to be early for your shift...

    Omg me too! I can't tell you how many times I've stopped to move turtles/dogs/etc in the road. Lol. Don't get me started on the ASPCA commercials! I can't watch

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    I did read you post (now multiple times), it never said she was unconscious before 2000 but now all of a sudden she is. Well obviously the doctors & nurses you worked with disagreed with you too....

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    So me & all the other nurses are wrong? As well as the other nurses & doctors you worked with. No, you are, clearly. You said the patient fell asleep at 2000 & you woke her up at 0300, you...

    Was I right, wrong, or am I going crazy

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Well look at my profile if you are interested. I would consider worst case scenario if her vitals, labs & tests suggested it. Otherwise her "unconsciousness" could be explained. I do it every...

    OrganizedChaos replied to JCAR's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    So overall this will be your 5th time taking the NCLEX? Well if you want to be a nurse it sounds like the FL BON wants you to take a remedial course. It couldn't hurt, right? Because it seems like you...

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    You really think of worst case scenarios, don't you? Good lord. Why would they go there with checking her ABGs, why are *you* going there with this unnecessary post? Her vital signs where WNL, tests...

    OrganizedChaos replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    Then don't let the fact that you can't leave for lunch during clinicals or while working bother you. If this is something you *really* want to do, then trust me lunch won't be an issue. You'll be done...

    clinicals

    OrganizedChaos replied to futurepsychrn's topic in General Students

    We have all been in nursing school, albeit not yours, but had to deal with clinicals & CIs. There are different stresses to each program. But if you really want to be a nurse you can't let it get...

    clinicals

    It's one thing to be a little stressed that you might make a mistake but to be completely overwhelmed is another. I never worked in the healthcare field before but I was never overwhelmed. If you are...

    You did say clinicals were overwhelming... No one is completely prepared for the real world of nursing once they graduate. As far as alone time, you will have to get that after work & after...

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Ok so I actually read the post. So, she was breathing fine. She passed out & took a nap. Why did she need to be intubated? Maybe she was exhausted or maybe she's just a hard sleeper. I really...

    Lost CNA Hospital job

    OrganizedChaos replied to altolover's topic in General Students

    Paragraphs, please. That was really difficult to read. Also you shouldn't put the name of the hospital in your post. This is a public forum & your former boss could be on here for all you know....
