    need help - no enthusiasm to finish nursing school

    RNsRWe replied to karlsbad's topic in General Students

    I simply CANNOT "like" what the above member, llg, just said to you ENOUGH. Bingo. (although as I'm re-reading this, it kinda looks like I cannot LIKE what she said....but that's the opposite of what...

    Professors fail everyone?

    RNsRWe replied to PerkyNurse55's topic in General Students

    I responded to what you wrote with what I thought, based on my experiences as a nurse, and obviously a former nursing student. Clearly you did not get where I was coming from, and why. So be it. You...

    Abandoning family in the ED during the holidays

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

    "Social Admissions" is what I've known them to be called. Have hated being the nurse who has to contact family of said "S.A." because details are missing, need clarification on meds, etc, and the...

    Abandoning family in the ED during the holidays

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

    Yep, it sure does happen There's also a couple of nursing homes in the area that are famous for residents who develop 'fevers' and simply must be sent to the hospital......usually on a Friday, and...

    RNsRWe replied to RN-BSNMD2016's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Ok, good on that part (24 hours thing) then. I was primarily addressing the "different pop ups have different meanings" based on whether it was scored once or twice, which is incorrect. People...

    Questions for LVNs/LPNs for a project

    RNsRWe replied to sabrina.'s topic in General Nursing

    Wow, those are A LOT of very detailed questions! I agree with those who posted already; call a medical practice, nursing home, any place you think an LPN/LVN would be employed, and ask if you can...

    I'm sorry, but you are mistaken. Putting it as 'nicely' as I can, over time it has been shown many times that various messages are used throughout the country, and variations of the same message...

    RNsRWe replied to mmuntanga's topic in Government, Military

    I'll start at the end of your post and work backward :) Yes, you can negotiate with the hiring VA; as a nurse, your salary has a fairly broad range and is ultimately set by the Nursing Performance and...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Many people for whom there was a disagreement at the time of the baby's birth on whether to circumcise, and the hospital chose to circumcise? I'm not sure if I'd say they were lying, but it certainly...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    Is this true? I have a hard time imagining that a hospital would take on the liability of performing a procedure for which only HALF the legally-consenting adults agree.....and in fact, one half of...

    CDC rec to counsel all males about benefits of circumcision

    RNsRWe replied to sistrmoon's topic in General Nursing

    To be clear, Red, I wasn't suggesting that she would be giving up her role as advocate, just that as a mother she'd probably feel more compelled to step in than she does now (since now it's just a...

    Point is it has not been 24 hours. Don't know where the statistic of 99% came from (made up?) but while it is likely the OP failed (based on first scoring alone).....I hate seeing people despondent...

    Again, you did not wait at least 24 hours; according to the timestamp on AN, it's been considerably less. While MOST people will have their second test be the same as the first, it ABSOLUTELY DOES...

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

    Hi there.....I wonder if you're confusing the 24-hour time frame in which the NCLEX is scored with the time frame in which you could expect CA's Board of Nursing to send you confirmation of license...

    Should I pursue a career as a registered nurse or elementary teacher?

    RNsRWe replied to guest001123's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that online message boards in general allow people to vent over things with which they are unhappy in their jobs, lives. So a message board devoted to nurses will, naturally, have more...
