    What to do about a classmate that is a pathological liar?

    RNsRWe replied to Brilton's topic in General Students

    Seems I popped in at the right moment :) A user name that indicates you're a student, or a person who would LIKE to be a nurse, is always appropriate. It's usually a good way to get people to respond...

    Dismissed From ADN Program After 2 Course Failure

    RNsRWe replied to 2bRN2014_1's topic in General Students

    I've been debating on whether to post this, and decided to do it. Many times on AN, students will post how they've always wanted to be a nurse, that it's a passion/dream/life goal. And some of those...

    Blood pressure: NY question

    RNsRWe replied to Raven.poe's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm an RN in NYS. Whether or not it's on the test, I don't know a single facility that would consider hiring a CNA who cannot take an accurate, manual blood pressure. Sometimes the digital/whatever...

    How Does Your Hospital Decide Who is Called Off for Low Census?

    RNsRWe replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    I'd bet my bottom dollar that a valid method for deciding whether someone works is NOT what someone ELSE's income is.....married or not. Do they balance your checkbooks, too, to see if someone is...

    Still on my soapbox

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

    Please clarify: 1-- what is your hospital policy on how blood/emesis is to be cleaned in patient areas? 2 -- what is the line of delegation when it comes to who should have notified whom? 3 -- who was...

    RNsRWe replied to Rachey467's topic in General Nursing

    And that's great that it worked out that way for you. But many times....it doesn't. I wouldn't advise someone to only give 2 weeks' notice without reading the fine print on their HR policy (or...

    I am moving and need to quit my job!

    RNsRWe replied to Rachey467's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. Was going to comment that myself. I had an employer whose policy it was to refuse paying unused vacation time if not enough notice had been given (and for RNs, that was anywhere from 3-5...

    No. You already know the policy, and you weren't borderline....you failed two classes. I'd follow LadyFree's suggestion: become an LPN through a practical nursing program, then seek to bridge to RN....

    Which route to RN is best?

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

    Is nursing school everyday or just two days a week?

    RNsRWe replied to HatTrickHero11's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    On days you don't have lectures, you have labs. When you don't have labs, you have skill labs. When you don't have them, you have clinicals. And when you aren't in clinicals....you're at the school...
