    PLEASE I HAVE A QUESTION about nursing scheduales...

    RNsRWe replied to RN2bBevy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi, and welcome to AN :) I have to tell you, you really are asking for the world, at least where Nursing is concerned. Tackling this piece by piece: yes, it is possible to work one day a week, but...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    My facility has two days of HR orientation, then everyone disperses to wherever they're going. Nurses continue to have orientation, but it's varied based on the needs of the unit and coordination...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    As the saying goes, when you've seen one VA.....you've seen one VA. Policies and procedures definitely do vary with facility and location. You'd think they wouldn't....but they very much do. The...

    Mispronunciations That Drive You Nuts

    RNsRWe replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    This is one mispronounced just as much by staff as patients: Phenergan pronounced as feh-nuh-gren. Irritating. But I also got to hear 'craniostomy' in place of 'colonoscopy' and THAT one made me LOL...

    Is there a best practice for educating pro vaccination?

    RNsRWe replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

    I read the info in the link, and the bolded parts (my bolding) surprised me: RESULTS: None of the interventions increased parental intent to vaccinate a future child. Refuting claims of an MMR/autism...

    Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    RNsRWe replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I have to say this is the most fascinating (and informative) thread I have read in a long while. Regardless on which side of the debate you might be.....or if you aren't sure yet on a position....I...

    Why is this question always asked?

    RNsRWe posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I genuinely would like to know, since I see it CONSTANTLY. And the question strikes me as odd. "What did you use to study?" when responding to "I PASSED!!" posts. They always use the same study tools,...

    Bad Pop-up and Still passed??

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

    I'm confused. I thought you said you failed the NCLEX.....but are working as a clinical research nurse. But you are not a nurse....? And are studying for "that NCLEX too" (is there another kind?)....

    Certifications and Experience

    RNsRWe replied to Chibikitty1990's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    You said "fellow nurses".....so I take it to mean you are now a nurse, yes? I would think you'd have BLS already....? ACLS is an advanced version of BLS (for healthcare providers, not general public...

    RNsRWe replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    There's no reason to delete the thread, it's a GOOD idea! There's nothing negative in it. I was just saying that posting personal info like you requested can become a problem, and it's best to avoid...

    Nursing and the Ebola Virus

    RNsRWe replied to 0.adamantite's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Because back in the day, at the time when no one knew anything about the disease but knew it to have high mortality after a short painful illness, people understood that many workers in health care...

    Does Everyone Actually Hate Nurses?

    RNsRWe replied to Casha9's topic in General Nursing

    I would strongly suspect the response has much more to do with your family members' expectations of your abilities (and expectations for a future career for you) than anything related to nursing...

    RNsRWe replied to dbrenda1510's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The purpose of your thread is terrific, very positive and encouraging. In practice, however, I can't stress enough to people reading this to NOT NOT NOT post your name, and probably not your State...

    No worries USA. Only healthcare workers will be exposed to ebola.

    RNsRWe replied to Raviepoo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'm not naive, and not surprirsed or angry. None of that applies. I never suggested that because nursing instructors don't "sit you down and give a huge list of what one might be exposed to" that the...

    RNsRWe replied to Raviepoo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I find it strange that people are passing judgment on those nurses who don't think they'd want to take on such patients.....saying that these nurses are somehow confused as to what nursing is, why did...

    Liberia: Nurses Abandoned Redemption Hospital

    RNsRWe replied to Been there,done that's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just getting to this thread. To answer the query "what's our responsibility as nurses?" I'd have to say that it's my job to take care of my assigned patients to the best of my ability, and to advocate...

    RNsRWe replied to Jasonat6034's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP, I'm honestly not sure what documented proof you're expecting to see posted here....? I'm going back a bit, this is true, but when I was applying to nursing school they looked at my prior degree,...

    What to do while waiting for nclex eligibility in New York

    RNsRWe replied to jemima0521's topic in Nurse Registration

    Hi, and welcome :) Really the only jobs in healthcare you can have without having a nursing license would be as a patient care aide, or receptionist in a medical office. Or, of course, working as a...

    Is there a best practice for educating pro vaccination?

    RNsRWe replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

    Already done....sorta. The study did not question the opinions of the parents, just whether the children in the study DID get the MMR or or did NOT get the MMR, and found a slightly elevated rate...

    Is there a line floating?

    RNsRWe replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for clarifying....I did get the impression you believed that since all US nurses had the same basic general education, they should all be competent to go wherever. DID strike me as odd,...
