    Reality check: Are my expectations high?

    RNsRWe replied to lewisac6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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

    RNsRWe replied to quwanna94's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    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...

    Reality check: Are my expectations high?

    RNsRWe replied to lewisac6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    Experience with switching from med/surg to a different specialty?

    RNsRWe replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in Medical-Surgical

    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...

    is LITTMANN still the best brand when it comes to stethoscopes??

    RNsRWe replied to monkago2009's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    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?

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

    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

    RNsRWe replied to NurseJaz08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    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...

    Does my school have the right to refuse sending the board my transcript?

    RNsRWe replied to TrixiaPilapil's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    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...

    If YOU can help...I'm looking for Anatomy help

    RNsRWe replied to Losa's topic in General Students

    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...

    Please help, AllNurses members; grateful for any advice!

    RNsRWe replied to pushers123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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...

    Reality check: Are my expectations high?

    RNsRWe replied to lewisac6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?"

    RNsRWe replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    RNsRWe replied to Stephaniyah90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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....

    3 months pregnant looking into Nursing School

    RNsRWe replied to Ambitious83's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    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?"

    RNsRWe replied to applesxoranges's topic in General Nursing

    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...

    RNsRWe replied to nandrews1231's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    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...

    Only 8 courses, $9K??

    RNsRWe posted a topic in University of Texas Arlington

    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...
