    Pearson Vue: Bullies?

    RNsRWe replied to wooh's topic in General Nursing

    But wait for it: a barrage of posts declaring PV to be highway robbers because they had the audacity to TAKE the $200 some idiots are going to pay....merely to find out if they passed. And if it...

    Can a student get into another nursing school after not succeeding in another?

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

    I think you already know the answer to this, which is "it depends". It's NOT "just like any other degree program", I have to disagree with that statement. If it were, you wouldn't find colleges that...

    RNsRWe replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congratulations, and welcome to nursing. You've just described every new RN's first year!:) I used to swear I heard IV pumps beeping at home. Honest. Starts to bore right through your brain.... I...

    CNA before nursing

    RNsRWe replied to amandaamanda's topic in General Nursing

    Requirement? No, don't think it's at all necessary, as everything taught to become a CNA is taught in first semester nursing programs. HOWEVER, I think if I had been a CNA first, it would have...

    Babies in hospital rooms. ..ugh!! *twitch*

    RNsRWe replied to delphine22's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    When my eldest was about four months old, in the heart and heat of summer, we had him in a baby swing on the front porch, wearing a onesie and he was happy just swinging away. Then MIL and FIL came...

    Well one could consider it natural selection in progress, thinning of the herd. Heaven knows there are some who should never be allowed to reproduce...so if their offspring don't survive,...

    No Good Deed Goes Unpunished

    RNsRWe replied to OCNRN63's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, SING it! Sometimes I have to read and re-read and read yet again when someone gets bent out of shape about something I've posted (or someone else, for that matter) that isn't even CLOSE to the...

    Any other nurses with poor quality fingerprints?

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

    I think it's years of alcohol wipes and gels, plus using disinfectant wipes without gloves (yes, horrors, I done that!). I track very poorly in ink, and worse electronically. Scanners can't seem to...

    Is This Bullying?

    RNsRWe replied to roser13's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I tried to hit "Like" multiple times, but it wouldn't let me. Do you suppose the computer KNOWS my Jell0 intentions as is purposely limiting me? Wouldn't you say that would be considered computer...

    My religion doesn't allow for me to give Jello to others, when I know it's not something I condone myself. If my religious convictions prevent me from assisting in Jello-involved procedures, can I...
