    Outcome prediction

    OrganizedChaos replied to pmhnp35's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    There is no real way to tell you what would/could happen. Since you have two lawyers I would take their advice. Also, if you have any questions to go to them instead of here. We don't know all the...

    Texas A&M Corpus Christi has an e-line Military BSN program. Here's a link: Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) - eLine Military - Texas A&M University Corpus

    I'm a new grad nurse

    OrganizedChaos replied to NewRN'16's topic in General Nursing

    You are not qualified to make those assumptions. I wouldn't even say something like that. People get into nursing for different reasons & there are also different reasons as to why someone may not...

    WILTW 1/8/17: Who's on FIRST?

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so nervous about my blood sugar being too high. It's hard to find meals to eat & I don't eat enough. I'm either starving & my sugar is within range or I eat enough & my sugar is high....

    WILTW 1/8/17: Who's on FIRST?

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 30 weeks pregnant, finally! Between my gallstones & my Gestational Diabetes I pretty much feel like crap 99.999% of the time. Also, I can barely eat anything due to both. I'm so ready to not...

    I'd say the OP's daughter has the makings of a great nurse without all of that unnecessary bull poop. She is far ahead of where I was at

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

    There were two 18 year olds in my LVN program. Maybe one was 17... I don't remember exactly but I know they were a little bit younger than me (I was 20/21 at the time). Either way, your daughter...

    Maternity leave length dictated

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

    Taking an extra 2 weeks *could* threaten the OP's job. She is not protected by FMLA or any other law. I'd say the manager was pretty generous considering the OP hadn't been there a

    White Scrubs and That "Time of the Month".

    OrganizedChaos replied to Shookclays's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This reminds me of the time I started my period during clinical (at a nursing home) & we were wearing white scrubs. Thank goodness it happened when we were having post-clinical discussion. But it...

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

    Thank you. Precepting *is* important and the floor nurse was doing just that. Unfortunately that day the OP got a raw deal because her CI didn't do any research as to if the floor nurse was available...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    I know the OP's mother was allowed to take the LVN boards but it just shows that by not going to an actual nursing school for your complete education can hurt you. People don't think it will be a...

    OrganizedChaos replied to Nazarr77's topic in General Nursing

    I think this goes to shows what a bad idea testing out to be an LVN during an RN program is. Even though you think you will never move out of state, you never know what the future
