    Giving away grades - unethical?

    OrganizedChaos replied to bravera's topic in General Students

    When I was taking a biology course the professor gave out bonus points if you attended study sessions with one of her TAs. I went, I had the time & the bonus points were a nice extra. But in...

    OrganizedChaos replied to RegenerativeNurse's topic in Private Duty

    I was recently looking for a job & went to a PDN agency. It was me, an RN & a new grad LVN in a room for orientation with the agency. You could tell the new grad was nervous. This would be her...

    (Lack of) Mental Healthcare and What To Do?

    OrganizedChaos replied to UrbanHealthRN's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I have private insurance & I was trying to find someone in my network. I probably called close to ten psychiatrists before I finally found one that was taking new patients. That was a fun day.

    When someone asks you what you do for a living, do you say "nurse" or "RN" or "LVN"?

    OrganizedChaos replied to HHN2472's topic in General Nursing

    I say nurse, then sometimes they ask if I'm an RN. Like being an LVN isn't a "real" nurse. Then when they hear I'm an LVN I always get the "Oh".

    You want us to do what?!?

    OrganizedChaos replied to SilenceintheLibrary's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've never heard of LVNs making that little! CNAs where I live make that much, crazy! The least I've seen an LVN make is $14, but that was for a state mental health clinic. On top of all of that they...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I start orientation this Sunday. It kinda sucks I'm only PRN with both companies but it'll work, I hope. I really wanted to be full time at the jail, I always have PDN. Well at least this way when I...

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I went into town to apply to another PDN/HH company. I admit I wasn't too psyched, but I got there filled out the paperwork & took the tests & my spirits were a little lifted. By the time...

    OrganizedChaos replied to OrganizedChaos's topic in General Nursing

    I know the feeling, I had been depressed for some time. I never thought I would get a job but I finally did. Just keep your head up & you will get a job!

    OrganizedChaos posted a topic in TEAS Exam Help

    I am set to take the TEAS on 12/13, but I just don't feel like studying any more. It's not that I over studied, I just became depressed. Here's some (might be long winded, I'll try to keep it short)...

    OrganizedChaos replied to NurseQT's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Dress slacks or a dress suit. That outfit it fine for weddings or hanging out with friends, not an interview. You could try Macy's or JcPenny's, they usually have great deals on suits. Never, ever...

    To go or not to go for RN?

    OrganizedChaos replied to flwhitetiger22's topic in Nursing Career

    LVNs/LPNs will never be phased out. They may not be able to get certain jobs (ex. In a hospital) but there will always be jobs elsewhere. There are online LVN/LPN to RN programs online. There is...

    Ahh, we used mystatslab & had to do all the calculations & stuff. I'm terrible at math so trying to figure out how to plug it in the calculator (with no one there to help) was torture!
