    Did You Work While Pregnant?

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

    Thank you! I know it's tough & stressful for him. He was working in the oil field before this & was making good money. But he had to quit because I was too mentally unstable for him to be gone...

    12/3: Aggravation and Agreements

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    My husband pulled a nerve in his back & I know he is in pain because of how he's acting. I've never seen him like this. He went to a walk in clinic & they gave him a shot of Toradol & a...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A review course costs money, they aren't free *or* cheap. Have you thought that maybe *this* is her sign? I know we tell people to pray & stuff but her failing the NCLEX *nine* times in *six*...

    I WOULD NOT recommend Brookdale

    OrganizedChaos replied to Slyder's topic in School, College Programs

    Oh geez please don't become a nurse with that attitude. I had to do the same work in my LVN program! You didn't pass the med dosage exam & are probably burning bridges with every email you send....

    Return to practice for RNs

    You got a great response from sallyrnrrt in the other thread where you ask the same

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    OrganizedChaos replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How do you know the patient was awake? Sleep is the best thing for a patient & so hard for them to get in the hospital. When I have worked nights & had to give meds I do it as quietly as...

    Dr. told patient, "Nurses are STUPID".

    OrganizedChaos replied to Daetwin2's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How can you call nurses stupid when you don't even work as one or work with any? And yes, case in point. You didn't pass your NCLEX, so obviously *you* weren't smart enough to become a nurse. Maybe...

    I was the ED patient today.

    OrganizedChaos replied to mmc51264's topic in General Nursing

    Glad to hear you are ok. I'm sorry you had a bad experience at the ER. When I was in my car accident I was air lifted to an ER. They took great care of me & didn't skip over anything. I know how...

    12/3: Aggravation and Agreements

    OrganizedChaos replied to LadyFree28's topic in General Nursing

    What is it with this current generation of nurses? They are so entitled, rude & selfish. I know I'm only 28 but wow! Nursing is such a team effort. Not just with other nurses but with other...

    ECSTATIC to be accepted into the RN program... but still stressed!

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

    Congrats on getting in the first time you applied. Don't ever doubt yourself. You were smart enough to get admitted so you can defeat nursing

    I'm still pregnant. Still miserable. But I'm getting my license back!

    What do you think?

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

    I can't believe the OP got away with posting that! That word means a guy who uh..likes to watch his partner "be with" another

    School Nurse Gives Wrong Medication

    OrganizedChaos replied to MHDNURSE's topic in School

    I'm starting to wonder if this "nurse" is actually a nurse. I know how people/the media will call anyone who works in the medical field a nurse. Her actions (or lack thereof) make me question...

    Bullying online is NOT harmless

    OrganizedChaos replied to Dianna11's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Nurses are not saints. They are people just like your friend or neighbor. Everybody has a different opinion. When you come on a forum & ask a question you need to be prepared for answers you might...

    Marijuana and Nurses

    Reflections of a Private Duty Nurse

    OrganizedChaos replied to pearsoaj's topic in General Nursing

    I can very much relate. I have worked PDN much of my LVN career. Just like you I wondered if I was a real nurse or just an over paid babysitter. I would have complex cases & really easy ones. But...

    NEW grad wanting to travel

    OrganizedChaos replied to arf2716's topic in Nursing Career

    I would postpone your travel for now. My ex-best friend graduated at the top of her class, passed her NCLEX on the first attempt but then took time off to have elective surgery. When she was ready to...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Statistically speaking, no she won't. How is this helpful? It does more harm than anything. Telling the OP she can pass after 9 attempts in 6 years proves that the OP cannot, in fact, do it. Why not...

    Help needed with interview questions

    OrganizedChaos replied to Michelletrekas's topic in Nursing Informatics

    How do you know that the poster is *actually* a nurse? Or if she is, she is creditialed as so/works in Informatics? Interviews are suppose to be done in person. You can't verify a person's creditials...

    HELP! TOOK NCLEX-RN 9 times!!!!! Keep failing!

    OrganizedChaos replied to dxt038's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There is a *vast* difference between failing a class & the test that licenses one as a nurse. It is often very obvious if a nurse took awhile to pass boards because, well... to be blunt if they...

    Coffee marketed to nurses. Would you buy it?

    OrganizedChaos replied to ResumeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the consensus. No. Not that I'm a big coffee drinker but just because it's marketed towards nurses wouldn't draw me in, it would probably turn me
