  1. You didn't understand what I wrote, so I'll just say "never mind" at this point. I do not feel foolish in the least, you misunderstand that as well. I will give you a tip before I go, however: use of...

    I have a question to ask

    I wouldn't interpret it as a "you've been hired" call; the message said she wanted to update you (or did you mean 'get an update'? Your post wasn't easy to read). If she meant she wanted to update...
  3. That's how you take it, so be it. Can't say what offends some and not others, why a PA would not take offense at being considered foolish for his choice and a nurse is. Can't say, either, that I'd...
  4. Every switch yields goods and bads, and a learning curve :) I was in med-surg for years, and really did like the type of nursing but disliked the staffing ratios and overall stresses of the floor...
  5. This is a bit of an old thread now, but had a comment on Littmans: I bought a Select but couldn't hear much out of it at all. Very disappointing $50 expense. Then spent a little less than three...

    Good Pop-Up but still Failed?

    Sorry to hear this....and also sorry to see on this thread that there are instructors out there telling students that this trick is worthwhile. VERY disturbing. It's called a "trick", and not in any...

    Got the "good" pop up and failed. #PVT

    So sorry to hear of this.....but also REALLY sorry that so many people think this "trick" is gospel, and never fails to work. It does fail to work....that's why it's called a "trick" and not in any...
  8. Yikes. The real answer can be found in your school's program book /handbook/whatever was given to you that stated what was required for graduation. If your school requires you to pass the exit exam...
  9. You know, I bought that book years ago, fully intending to color it all in (I loved coloring!) but found it wasn't stress-RELIEVING for me, but stress-INDUCING! Oh well. It was a GREAT resource as a...
  10. I hate to repeat this, but what the heck: your school program advisor is your best bet in correctly answering these questions. For the most part, schools do require similar pre-reqs, but that isn't...

    I got in!

    Congratulations, and best of luck to you!
  12. I'm guessing this was meant for me. My question/response was because you apparently have not seen it, you don't realize this has been a fairly common theme among prospective nurses, nursing students....

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Priceless. You know what he REALLY wanted to say in response was "Surprisingly, no....I'm an actor on break from a movie set, and just HAD to have hospital cafeteria food, so...I came here". Does...
  14. You called a professor and left a voicemail message with profanities? Whoa. Unprofessional conduct is enough to get you tossed from a program, or barrerd from entering one....it depends on the school....
  15. Will you be willing to stay in isolation rooms to take care of infectious patients? How about ADLs when you are 9 months pregnant? How much time will your program allow you to miss from clinicals...

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Funny thing is, I do now work in a setting where I really don't do ADLs, but they aren't part of my job function at all....but the NOADLS states pretty clearly s/he IS working in a setting with...

    Inquiry

    I would strongly suggest reading the Student Forums, both for LPN and RN. In a quick nutshell, one can graduate an LPN program in 10-12 months; it is not a college degree. RN programs are...

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Ok, that confirms it for me. You are NOT a nurse, but are playing one on the internet. Carry
  21. I followed an advertisement link to UT Arlington's nursing program (RN-BSN) and it contradicts itself in a few spots. Sometimes it says 9 months, 32 credits, sometimes 35 credits, sometimes 13 months...

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    Should tell you something if people frequently question whether or not you are actually a nurse. If true, shouldn't have to be hard to

    Legally Protect the word "Nurse?"

    I have read several other posts by you, and have GREAT difficulty believing you to be a real, licensed nurse. ARE you? Or do you just post on message boards as though you are? I thought you might be...

    It's hard losing classmates...

    Where on Earth do you go to school, the Sing Sing School of Nursing?? Seriously....behaviors like you describe aren't going to be tolerated in a hospital parking lot...or anywhere else for that...

    RN Wellness Coach salary ?

    LOL, that's probably the reason it IS rolled into the job I was hired for (as is the same with all the people --not necessarily nurses, btw-- who did it before me, and along with me in other similar...
