    The Nurse's Guide to Observing Chanukkah

    RNsRWe replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Isn't it funny how something can get ingrained so quickly we assume it's a very old, even religious, tradition? This one is less than 50 years old, so....'new' in my book. I can't tell you how...

    Failed my nclex Pn ***a year ago*** what can I study to pass!!!!!???

    RNsRWe replied to normagarza32's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    My recommendation would not be for a book at this point, it would be for a complete review course, live and in person. An entire year has passed since you graduated, and you did not pass on your...

    Nclex exams: My experience

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

    Nah, just works differently since the registration software upgrade. Now everyone is sent to the credit card page; only upon submission do you get your first clue......which is why I've been writing...

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I don't know you've actually 'arrived' if you haven't been called a bully at least once, and at least once without any clue as to why :) And on the other part.....for me it tends to be something like...

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I have no idea why on earth this post (and the one before it, same vein) have been allowed to stand unedited, but WHERE do you come UP with this? You outright accuse someone you do not know of lying,...

    Actually, it was bugging me, too, but didn't want to be picky!

    The Nurse's Guide to Observing Chanukkah

    RNsRWe replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Nope. This event was made up by a minister in the US in the late 1960's, who wanted to give black American children a sense of African heritage that he felt they were lacking.......and the first...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    "projection, much"?

    brilliant academy health center

    RNsRWe replied to sudeshena's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd think for me a HUGE red flag of warning would be seeing a 'school' that does not have a website, has nothing other than a Facebook page that anyone can create easily. Does NOT bode well, in my...

    Ok, you actually got me laughing out loud...!! Thanks for that!

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, agreed. Icky is icky, and I'll be the first to say that! It isn't. For those that do it in the ritualistic manner (a moyel, and at home or synagogue) on the 8th day after birth, it's clearly a...

    The Nurse's Guide to Observing Chanukkah

    RNsRWe replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    The reason you can't find the one 'correct' spelling for the holiday is because the word is Hebrew....there IS no English spelling that would be correct! So, we get what looks like it....Chanukkah...

    The Nurse's Guide to Observing Chanukkah

    RNsRWe replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thank you, Lynda, for offering some explanations to those who are less knowledgeable on the topic. As a Jew in a somewhat non-Jewish area, it's been a responsiblity of sorts to educate others when it...

    Nclex exams: My experience

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

    Well, since you attempted to register for another exam (the trick) before all the scorings on your exam were finalized (which takes up to 24 hours), all you know for sure is that your first score was...

    Abandoning family in the ED during the holidays

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

    Seriously ridiculous! Surely these people have been told (when appropriate) "Sorry, your mother doesn't need to be admitted, you HAVE to take her home, and if you don't want to keep her there, you...

    Why are Nurses paid so low in the south ??

    RNsRWe replied to Michigann's topic in General Nursing

    Of course you are, wouldn't ever suggest otherwise. Just seemed kinda harsh to designate the ENTIRE State of Texas (and Alabama) as "a pit", that's all. Personally thought San Antonio was just...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Clearly a bizarre and rare practice, and one that no hospital would allow (with good reason). But even WITH that weirdity, it's not like there are daily stories in the news of Orthodox Jewish babies...

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, talk about a gift that really needed a way to be returned.... I wouldn't dare to speak for all women, even most women, but of the women with whom I've had such 'girl talk' (often fueled by ETOH...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Most modern Jews I know have their sons circumcised in the hospital, not a living room, and by a pediatrician, not a moyel. Although some have a party afterwards :) So, therefore, I would expect the...

    Is the LVN-BSN route a good route?!

    RNsRWe replied to nicoleticzon's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure why LVN-BSN is a shorter route than BSN alone? I do know that $32K is INSANELY expensive for an LVN certficate (it's not a college degree, correct, just...

    CONFUSED...I thought 1 yr into a 2yr RN program, you can b LPN???

    RNsRWe replied to fleurafor's topic in General Students

    Wow this is an old thread! I'd bet a lot of information has changed in three years, but this bit hasn't: the reason why there are States that don't allow this is simply because every area of nursing...

    Just took NCLEX RN, stopped at 265!!

    RNsRWe replied to kansas_chick1234's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok, gotcha. While I don't know specifically how CA handles this (I'm sure someone from Cali can help with that), generally speaking, it is 45 days before an application to retest can be approved....

    RNsRWe replied to Sherry29's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Congrats! What a relief for you :) Just going to take a minute to answer this post: your nursing program director has no knowledge of how you (or anyone else) does on their exams. Results are sent...

    I'm sorry, I'd like to help but I can't understand what you're writing here. For those of us who like punctuation, LOL, could you post again what you want to know?
