    If you are not a nurse, do NOT use the title, please

    RNsRWe replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Students

    Ah, but at least you correct her. YOU are not walking around saying "I'm a nurse"....which is what I'm seeing more and more of....and it's irritating as all

    Anxiety about nursing medical errors

    RNsRWe replied to whitenoise5's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You really got some GREAT answers here already. After reading your post, my thought was to type "how do we prevent errors? By going to nursing school, paying attention, learning well, and being...

    Negativity toward nursing as a career choice

    RNsRWe replied to MssNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I could "Like" RunBabyRun and nekozuki's comments a few more times, I would. I am a seasoned nurse, and have seen both shortages and gluts of nurses. I encourage and discourage wannabes on a...

    IV removal

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

    You should never do any procedure you are not proficient in, period....and I don't think I'd be using YouTube as an education tool in this case. If you don't do it correctly according to your...

    No travel LPN positions

    RNsRWe replied to apache2010's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    What she said. The scope of practice has become narrowed, and the push for higher education has made competition between LPNs and RNs non-existent: it's the RN who will get placed in the areas you...

    Careers available to LPN, besides LTC

    RNsRWe replied to Blondediver68's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Doing what? I've only ever seen RN positions for this

    RNsRWe replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It's actually a requirement nowadays, for most any CRNA program. Competition for seats is too great to allow someone in without the necessary

    Nurse transfer

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

    You'll probably want to post this question in the International Nursing forum for more feedback, but the answers to your questions WILL NOT be answered on this message board. The short answer is NO,...

    Night Classes for RN.

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

    As has been mentioned, you are going to have to be the one to do the legwork here, you are going to have to do the research. The quick answer to your question is that community colleges pretty much...

    Is MA same as LPN

    RNsRWe replied to dixieyid305's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    And I can just picture her rolling her eyes when you turned your back, as has been my experience. They don't get it, nor do they care. I worked in a clinic where the front desk staff referred to "the...

    specialties

    RNsRWe replied to RHill9919's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Most nurses figure out where they want to go next--specialize next--after working for awhile. I'm not going to enter into the HUGE debate over whether one needs a year or two of med-surg experience...

    Taking the NCLEX-RN tomorrow 3/5/14...So nervous!

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

    I think you passed, too, but not because of any silly "trick". Here's why: you had 75 questions. You'd have to ask yourself if you were so horribly unprepared, so lacking in understanding of content...

    Becoming discouraged about becoming a nurse?

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

    ROFL.....how is it that you know the OP will want to become a nurse, once she sees what nurses do "up front"? How do you know her so well? Beyond that.....well, your insight is....not there. I, too,...

    Hostile Work Environment

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

    Sometimes it takes someone completely removed from the situation--like me--to point out the intensely obvious. She needs to leave. She needs to resign, she needs to find another job, period. The...

    PLEASE don't use photos as avatars!

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

    Ok, I see how it came about. Just a weird way of the site pulling bits of info into a summary line on each post. It DID look like you were claiming 7 years of nursing experience, but maybe that's my...

    ER Nurse

    RNsRWe replied to RNstudent15's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You will not have difficulty going to the ED if you qualify for the job, and there's an opening. You cannot "go into it" without having the necessary experience.....so whoever told you "it's...

    Upper level questions..

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

    Ouch. You totally misinterpreted the very HELPFUL questions of an experienced nurse. She was trying to help you, but you are refusing to see it. Here's another bit of helpful advice: when and if you...

    how to study and pass nclex-pn in 2 weeks?

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

    Of course it's possible. If you understand how the questions work, recognize what the question is really asking you (don't over-interpret), and can critically think your way through a problem,...

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

    I wish you the very best of luck; prayers aren't needed so much as faith in what you've studied and understand. Just a note, though:I see you've only just joined, so maybe you didn't fully read the...

    RNsRWe replied to moving400's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What they have been trying to tell you, politely, is that you are barely making any sense in your posts. Sometimes, no sense at all. And they are wondering if this is affecting how you interpret...

    Cadaver Work

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

    WOW, I'm jealous! We never had a cadaver, we even had to double and triple up on CATS! Couldn't even get my own cat....much less a chance at a cadaver. We asked, and of course got told that they were...
