    Stethoscope Case

    RNsRWe replied to Elsie15's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I suspect cases like this are made with the hopes that people will buy them as gifts, or newbies will buy them thinking them useful.....and in actuality are completely unnecessary. Can't say I've ever...

    When can I work?

    RNsRWe replied to andiescandies's topic in General Students

    Most people enroll in programs that require them to complete gen.ed. courses and pre-requisite nursing courses first, before getting to the core nursing classes. It'd be pretty odd indeed to find a...

    Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    RNsRWe replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Reporting a card that has not been stolen (and in fact you used to authorize legal charges) is fraud. Refusing to pay for an authorized service (the NCLEX registration) is defaulting on an authorized...

    Text messages from nurse manager

    RNsRWe replied to Katniss88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When I worked the floors, I NEVER gave anyone at work my cell number, period. It was as if I didn't have one. They asked, I gave them my home number. OH, you wanted my cell number? Sorry, I don't...

    nclex

    RNsRWe replied to kammy5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You don't know how to do the PVT. I'm hoping English is your second language, because I'm finding it hard to figure out your posts, but.....it appears you have been in despair because you don't know...

    non hospital nursing

    RNsRWe replied to luvly189's topic in General Nursing

    People tend to be more vocal about their jobs when they don't like them, just human nature. And some jobs have higher turnovers, no doubt, because of the nature of the job. But overall, whether you...

    Are the name brand designer scrubs worth it?

    RNsRWe replied to RatherBHiking's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I'm not so sure it matters what the brand is, as long as you've chosen something that is of good quality, period. I have a ton of Tafford scrubs that wear like IRON, and are far more modestly priced...

    FL BON and DUI -- Anyone with info?

    RNsRWe replied to JamesC18's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I cannot speak with any authority concerning the FL BoN, but I can comment on the situation in general. If you have a pending court case, I cannot see your initial license being approved. I would...

    New laws requiring LPNs and RNs to become BSN by 2016

    RNsRWe replied to Vocationofalifetime's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    This thread is a good example of why all threads should be locked after one year of inactivity. Outdated info begetting more outdated

    Day nurses who switched from nights, is it better?

    RNsRWe replied to tarotale's topic in General Nursing

    Well, having done both and had good times and bad times with each, I guess I can comment :) I never hated nights. Actually, being something of a 'night owl', the hours never bothered me, I never hit...

    PVT IS DEAD! Don't try the "new" trick

    RNsRWe replied to scaredsilly's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    .....and don't do it at all for 24 hours, or the pop ups are subject to change, and therefore misleading/meaningless. 24 hours until the exam is scored

    What is the politically correct term for "nurse"?

    RNsRWe replied to DanielCA's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    OP hasn't been here since he posted this nearly 3 months ago, so....guessing he figured it

    Why can't hospitals do better?

    RNsRWe replied to ORNurseCOS's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    How do you figure? Until produce distributors have lobbyists as strong as pharmaceutical companies (read: never) your Ten Year Plan is a pipe dream! No, scripts will always overpower food products,...

    US hospital morgue management

    RNsRWe replied to ixiaoniu's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is a foreign nursing student, so.....even odder. OP, is this a personal situation, or are you working through an NCLEX

    Have you travelled to Africa is a invasion of privacy?

    RNsRWe replied to IrishIzCPNP's topic in General Nursing

    People can get their knickers in a twist on just about every subject you can dream up. Doesn't mean policies should bend to every 'twisted-knicker' out

    advise requested

    RNsRWe replied to janders2003's topic in Patient Medications

    There are several kinds of Stupid in this world; the nurse who takes home meds to "set up" for the next day is just one of them. OP, you have some good advice here, time to take

    Nursing Student Ethical Dilemna

    RNsRWe replied to cbs701's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I imagine that offering to hold a Hogwarts Circle for the parents during the next full moon might have garnered you a poor grade? There are nuts everywhere, just really unfortunate when they have...

    nclex

    RNsRWe replied to kammy5's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    California BoN is notoriously slow and random. Some people report seeing their license #'s posted merely two days after their exam, others get the Snail Mail notification long before seeing results...

    I'm very glad that I don't base my medical opinions on anything found via Fox News.

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    RNsRWe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    I'm guessing this will stay on the forefront of this 'mother' until she pops out another one. Then again, dead kids have brought her more $$ than live

    IV certification

    RNsRWe replied to qlady's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    You are not certified. You did a skills check in a program you did not complete; if you want IV certification you'll need to take that course and pass the exam. Since you already know how, shouldn't...

    RNsRWe replied to T4tayo's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Unfortunately you're in an area of the country where nurses are a dime a dozen, so you'll have to do more than you thought possible in order to land a job. Every nursing home, every outpatient clinic,...
