    New CPR Song for New CPR Rate?

    RNsRWe replied to Cinquefoil's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, that was one of the "old" ones....100 bpm. I think I'll move toward Don't Stop Believin'

    RNsRWe replied to KeepAtIt's topic in General Students

    ^ Huh? ^ Anyway, I agree with taking some time to get your personal life straightened out; you really CAN'T tackle a difficult/competetive/strict program like nursing until things are more on an even...

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    If so, never, not once, did I condone any such thing, or even suggest it. Read more carefully before making accusations, please. Whether I choose to comment on a post or not is my concern, not...

    I stopped at 75.. :(

    RNsRWe replied to jtun3d's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Well, since 75 questions is the minimum number, stopping there meant one of two things: either you were doing so well that there was no point in giving you more, you were consistently testing at or...

    Do i need to finish all prereqs before applying for nursing?

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

    Sounds like a question for your school advisor, not a message board,

    And that also rules out many students, until they find out what it's really like to be in nursing, not protected in school....and THEN they get

    RNsRWe replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And where I come from, people use message boards like this....that by the name indicates it's for nurses.....to vent, laugh, relax, blow off steam, and NOT have to be on the spot as though we're at...

    Interventions without MD orders

    RNsRWe replied to Novo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious how you read the OP's comments, our responses, and came up with that post of yours? OP asked questions and got answers. OP argued that it "shouldn't be"; we gave him (her?) reasons why...

    How to pass N-clex

    RNsRWe replied to JD2014's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Interesting that the OP chose to take the trouble to post (semi-coherently) about how to pass the NCLEX and become a great nurse....yet displays little to none of the qualities I know to be required....

    Fired for posting on face book

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

    Somehow, I continue to be amazed at the incredible naivete so many people using online forums exhibit. They say they are shocked, or hurt, or surprised, or angry when they discover the basic truths...

    skills new graduates must know?

    RNsRWe replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing after you read these few posts, OP, that you will realize it isn't your stellar skill set that will impress your potential employer.....they all expect you to be new, they expect all the...

    RNsRWe replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Well, I will be paying more attention to what "flavor" of bachelor's degree might be inquired about, now that I know it exists (even if, as I said, it doesn't seem to in my area). One never knows...

    skills new graduates must know?

    Is there a possiblity of a drug test on CNA first day orientation

    RNsRWe replied to sam94's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Sigh. The problem is that you would be violating the conditions of your employment, I am quite sure, as well as the conditions upon which you would be allowed to keep your CNA certificate at all. MANY...

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

    I'm not a CNA, but as an RN, I'd suggest if you did allow it you can expect a nice WC injury to follow. At no point in my schooling were we ever allowed to have a patient put their hands anywhere on...

    Info on medical missions

    RNsRWe replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought, but....Red Cross takes nurses to work in under-served areas of THIS country, too. I would have no doubt you could get yourself assigned to an area that is primarily Spanish speaking,...

    A Ban=Bsn?

    RNsRWe replied to smartnurse1982's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This seems a bit harsh, as you are suggesting that the average nurse is ignorant if they are unaware of a (relatively) obscure degree designation. Or, perhaps more accurately, it is more obscure in...
