    OrganizedChaos replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    Don't get me wrong, I love to eat. But after I gained 100+lbs during my pregnancy I'm trying to stay away from all the bad foods. I have epilepsy so I like to visit the doctor. I was congenitally...

    Did I mess up my second interview??? (kinda long...)

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nursing2102's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I know it would've been ideal to start soon & work at that hospital but from the sounds of things, why would you want her to be your boss? It would *not* have been ideal, it probably would've been...

    OrganizedChaos replied to kylieq99's topic in Nursing Career

    San Antonio is saturated with new grads. There are a lot of nursing programs in the area turning out RNs all the time. Will you have your ADN or BSN? Most hospitals want RNs with their BSN. If you are...

    Strange CoWorker Stories

    OrganizedChaos replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I kept trying to tell her it was my epilepsy but she either didn't believe me or wasn't listening. If she didn't believe me the fact that she was a nurse, that kinda scared

    OrganizedChaos replied to crystalgraz's topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I used that school as an example. There are schools that let you take the TEAS test three times. I am not applying there for multiple reasons so it won't be an issue for

    Nurses that kill

    OrganizedChaos replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Well you titled your post 'Nurses that kill' but no one died in your story. Was the the patient close to death? Yes. Did he die? No. Was the patient's potassium level shockingly low? Yes. But I also...

    Anyone in the medical or nursing field has the potential to kill. Look at what we learn & have available to us. But what are you trying to discuss? The charge nurse or what it's like being an...

    Should I wait to have a baby?

    OrganizedChaos replied to AHobbs's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, I agree with you. If she has issues with fertility or even if she doesn't school can wait. Nursing school will always be there, the opportunity to have a baby won't. I had my son at 25 & put...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Themostsupreme's topic in General Students

    Of course nurses make more than CNAs/PCTs, that's how it works. RNs make more than LVNs & etc. But it's definitely not "big bucks". From everything you posted it won't be enough to keep you in the...
