    Bullying by Nurses and CNa

    You said you don't talk to them & even changed your schedule to avoid them. If you are changing your story, have this attitude & there is a whole shift saying the same thing it's you - not...

    NCLEX Reader Accommodation

    My brother has severe dyslexia, he made it through college without a bunch of accommodations & has been working for years. I think a lot of us want to know how you will work as a nurse with no...

    NCLEX Reader Accommodation

    When I took the NCLEX there was not a special separate room that someone could go to to have someone read to them. Everyone was in a big open room that was being recorded. I think it would be very...
  5. I worked for a small, private company similar to this. They also only had 1 main, night nurse but it was to many more children/residents. I believe what they did was had another night nurse to help...

    Family not supportive, is nursing really that bad?

    The only thing about that is you're stuck as an ultrasound tech, there is no career

    Respect For Nurses

    Don't look on Facebook. The opinions of (uneducated) lay people is astounding. Just an LVN, just a nurse ... this, that & the other. Nurses get all the blame but the doctors don't.

    LVN

    Contact your state BON before you challenge the NCLEX or try to enter a nursing program. That way you don't waste any

    HELP Pregnant and due during semester of A&P!!!

    I personally think online sciences classes were a lot easier. But definitely check with your nursing programs to make sure they accept online science classes. You don't want to spend the time, money...

    Would You do This Commute?

    There is 1 hospital in my town & then other hospitals 1 hour away. I figured after I become an RN if I didn't get a position in town I would apply to hospitals out of town, but then I thought...

    Glutton for Punishment?

    Oof. I bet you see a lot of stupid.

    Glutton for Punishment?

    I'm starting to think people enjoy being ignorant, no matter how

    Lol yes! Although, I think some people don't choose it. It's in their

    Glutton for Punishment?

    I feel like in big cities I could see BSN being the minimum education for RNs but not everywhere. Yeah, I've never been worried about getting a job. I wasn't as an LVN & I'm not as an
  18. Self righteous? Where were any of us self righteous? The whole purpose of interviewing someone is to do so face to face, you can't do that over the Internet. Also, can you verify our credentials?...

  20. When you find a way to control comments from other people (in life & online), let me know. Until then, people have the right to voice their opinion the same way you did. If you don't like it,...
  21. No one was harsh, they were honest. You cannot prove we are nurses just because we are posting on a forum called AllNurses. We could be trolls & really truck drivers or waiters. The best options...
  22. There's a difference between giving a med you know a doctor will give you orders for later (when in the midst of a code & can't get ahold of the doctor) versus needing to insert a chest tube or...

    I Have a question

    I'm just echoing what everyone else has already said. I'm sure you already know that nursing is a mostly female dominated profession. Not that men don't work in nursing, but by in large there are more...

    Dating a former patient

    You made a post & have become defensive so you know what you're doing is wrong. The thing with psych patients is we are never completely, 100% healed. With patients in the ER, unless they have a...

    Moving down in the world

    I wouldn't do it. If the OPs place of employment knows he is an RN but working as an LVN, that could get the OP in some tricky waters. Technically the OP *can* do what they ask *but* she shouldn't...
