    Tips for Graduating Nursing Students in Securing a Job After Graduation

    RNsRWe replied to yennielannie's topic in General Students

    Good to think ahead :) Having family/friends in healthcare is helpful from a networking standpoint; the more people who know you are looking for work, the more likely someone will hear of something...

    took nevada nclex 3 times now taking california nclex

    RNsRWe replied to nicole1122's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    prnstat: something seems weird here. It doesn't make sense that you're being told to take a med-surg 2-day course as a review for the NCLEX......it DOES make sense that you'd take a 2-day med-surg...

    RN Detained and Quarantined As Ebola Hysteria Reaches a New Low

    RNsRWe replied to MissyWrite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm still struggling to understand the logic put forth on this topic where flu vaccines and ebola have crossed paths. I cannot understand how someone can insist on quarantine for an asymptomatic,...

    Specialties for New Grads

    RNsRWe replied to lisianthus93's topic in General Students

    The short answer is "it depends". While it's true experience in med-surg isn't always a requirement for other areas of nursing, it frequently is. If a unit isn't requiring that you have a good...

    RNsRWe replied to liz2311's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There are numerous threads on this topic. In a nutshell, you authorized a charge of $200 to your credit card, and when it attempted to charge you, your card was declined for payment. Your card maxed...

    Labor and Delivery

    RNsRWe replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think some more information might be useful here. LVNs are often used in places that there is little to no need for RNs. The two LVNs you spoke with, who had no trouble finding jobs, might...

    RNsRWe replied to ramosyasmin16's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you taking pre-requisite courses now for a nursing program? It's extremely difficult to give you much of an idea about job possibilties when it seems it is going to be several years (at best)...

    Hospice Volunteering counts for pre-req for Nursing School?

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

    Is the nursing program you're interested in requiring some kind of clinical experience PRIOR to entering their program? As SoldierNurse said, there is no volunteer program that would replace any part...

    Can job termination occur if nurses do not get the flu shot and refuse to wear a mask

    RNsRWe replied to helen2346's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It was me she meant to quote. Either way, doesn't really matter, as that discussion has run its course, and doesn't seem to have been useful

    What age of patient's are the most difficult for you?

    RNsRWe replied to ddane94's topic in Patient Education

    Depends on the setting. Med-surg, I'd rather have taken my eye out with a fork than try to deal with yet another 18-30 year old male! Doesn't even matter what he was in for: if he has to stay in a...

    child abuse question?

    RNsRWe replied to Humaneclowninscrubs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Seems like the better lesson from this question would be why it is a BAD question! Tell your instructor what dsb_fam said, and why that question is misleading at best, and dangerous (because you'd...

    What percentage make it?

    RNsRWe replied to mae0218's topic in General Students

    I keep up with my alma mater; they lose about 25% the first semester, another 25% the second. So 50% the first year; each semester they start with some who have dropped or been dropped in a previous...

    What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    Yep, you're right! Title DID say "most creative", LOL, but I guess I just looked at the most recent post and thought "WTH???"

    What Are The Most Creative Call-off Excuses You Have Heard?

    You couldn't come up with excuses a TAD less dramatic than those?!? What about "I have an emergency issue with my son, he'll be ok but for now I have to take care of this".......and......"I have a...

    Ebola- Quarantine/Quasi quarantine Yes or No?

    Floating non-ICU RN's to ICU!!?

    RNsRWe replied to Keri29's topic in Critical Care

    No, they shouldn't. At worst, an RN who is not prepared to handle an ICU assignment can go as 'extra hands' (without an assignment, but able to help as an RN for whoever needs help). Have seen this...

    Mandatory flu shots????

    RNsRWe replied to 45whenimdone's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm curious as to why people will rail against flu shots (when mandatory) as being "forced" to have medication foisted upon them. You have a choice; it's a condition of your employment. Don't want...
