    Vaping as opposed to cigarettes?

    RNsRWe replied to Carpediem1012's topic in General Students

    In many ways, it's WORSE than traditional cigarettes. Currently no FDA regs in place, and people can stuff whatever they'd like into those electronic sticks. And they do. Narcs being an...

    RNsRWe replied to AspiringRN27's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot self-teach nursing school through AN. You must actually go. The deluge of questions lately isn't helping you, it's showing you to be hyper-focusing on what doesn't matter. Yes, there will...

    How, exactly, would you "get in trouble", and from whom? Is your Dad likely to contact the SBON and say you were popping his booboo without an

    First night shift this week...

    RNsRWe replied to crossfitnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Get rest before your shift. I'm not talking taking a quick nap before a 12-hour shift; no one would suggest doing that before a day shift, so...not during nights, either. SLEEP on a reasonable...

    Curious about the VA HOSPITAL

    RNsRWe replied to Sabr's topic in Government, Military

    Love it. Have a good one, no scandals, we pass audits with flying colors. Don't believe everything the media tells you, they love to rip apart anything government-related (usually for good reason,...

    Pearson Vue trick 2014 -still works!

    RNsRWe replied to terri8's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I find it weird that day after day people are posting "it still works!!" Of course it works....at least, as much as it ever did. Why would that change? Answer: it won't. The software is what it is....

    Good hand lotion?

    Call me crazy, but I buy tubes of foot cream (current faves are from Avon)!! The formula is always rich, emollient and absorbs deep. Good

    Wow. Inconsiderate has reached a new level. I kind of like "Move it, Moron!" in large type, on laminated cards duct-taped to their windshields

    RNsRWe replied to M.Salter's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oh, my kingdom for an original question My comment would be to READ the posts of the other several dozen people who asked the identical question within the last few days. Then see if you need to ask...

    Advice please: Withdrawal of feeding tube

    RNsRWe replied to Clubsingr28's topic in General Nursing

    Y'know, diplomacy absolutely has its place. But sometimes spelling out exactly what needs to be heard has its bonus points, too. No time to mince words with this one....really hope the OP can get...

    Advice please: Withdrawal of feeding tube

    RNsRWe replied to Clubsingr28's topic in General Nursing

    Holy crud, everything Esme said and then some....get yourself in front of whoever can intercede here. No way I'd be taking those sons' POA as valid if the patient herself is competent! And she has...

    Do you have to be licensed to work as a Caregiver?

    RNsRWe replied to Virtual's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Same as where I'm from; the OP was asking about working in a "retirement home", though, not a hospital. Guess we'll see how it plays out. Wise advice from

    Sobless, don't focus on what study program brand you used last time. Doesn't much matter. They are all good, they are all bad, if you understand my meaning. People pass and fail with all of them....

    Whooping cough redux; your story?

    RNsRWe replied to nurseprnRN's topic in General Nursing

    When I chose to go into nursing, I surprised many people who assumed I would go into pediatrics, mother/baby, stay in that genre because of my pre-nursing volunteerism and interests. Fact is, I...

    How does leave of absence work? (not talking about paid time off)

    RNsRWe replied to Metalchild's topic in General Nursing

    What they said. No, most hospitals would not do this for you....if any. There's no incentive for them to go through the trouble and expense of filling in your job unless you are someone who has...
