    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    And another thought: snopes.com did research on this, and found that there was not one single "La-a" (Ladasha) in the US Social Security system. Something like 4,000 named Lea, but not one La-a. No...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yep, variations ARE out there. But these supposed twins, who have been "sighted" for something like forty years?? Please. For all those who still think these twins exist (and many sets, yet, for...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Same reason as every other person who has ever passed on this ridiculous story. One of those things people who study human behavior have worked on for

    Do nurses usually work 3 12-hour shifts a week for full pay?

    RNsRWe replied to gentlerain's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious about the comments regarding a facility "training" a new grad "their way" in ACLS. Every time I've taken it, regardless of where I was taking it (and it's changed over the years) it was...

    Opinion on class load with two young kids at home

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

    Much will have to do with your support system in your home, or available to it. Your own employment considerations will weigh heavily; you don't mention if you're married to an employed partner? How...

    From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

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

    There was none, absolutely NONE in my initial post to you answering (I thought) your query about whether it was feasible to follow the path you were suggesting. My answer was that no, I didn't think...

    Whats a good elective?

    RNsRWe replied to ant2cory's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had "Spanish!" formed before reading the rest of the posts, but I wish I had stuck with it after high school. Didn't learn enough to help me but in hindsight if I'd taken it in college I bet I'd be...

    Nurses, would you like a side of toast?

    Registered Nurses: Do you like your jobs?

    RNsRWe replied to mamba24's topic in General Nursing

    Has your opinion of people changed at all..... Regularly do you still have faith in humanity so to speak after dealing with so many types of people? Yes Do you still maintain your compassion for...

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

    ...and if I had read llg's and HouTX's posts before responding, I wouldn't have bothered :) They already said it. Except there was no hostility in anyone's posts toward the OP, but I distinctly felt...

    From Bedside to Bench? Maybe Bedside and Bench?

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

    Where I was going was that nursing is NOT medicine, and you didn't seem to understand that...perhaps still don't. When people speak of the nursing model, they are referring to a pathway of education...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Here we go again. You're swearing on whatever you deem holy that when you told a woman that she had a sexually transmitted venereal disease, she chose to name her newborn daughter by the...

    How is this odd? I must be getting tired, LOL, because I don't see anything weird!

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

    Honestly, I think you need to focus on a field and go with it. You are trying to combine nursing and medicine, two models of care and practice that don't go together. There are many opportunities...

    What is it like to work in a hospital

    RNsRWe replied to mcclot1993's topic in General Nursing

    I would STRONGLY suggest you read through the forums here, as there is ALOT of information to be found. Describing all that you want to know in a single post is daunting at best and unreasonably...

    Is this cheating?

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

    Ah, yes, the math test/ dosage calculations test. No worries; if you've learned how to solve the problems asked, you'll pass. She hasn't? Won't be seeing her anymore. I remember a student years ago...

    Can an RN Get a job in a hospital with out a BSN.

    RNsRWe replied to mcclot1993's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    It's not a definite because it's not true. Diploma school nursing graduates pass the same NCLEX-RN and therefore are eligible to work in any State that they find employment. Whether the BSN, ADN or...

    Can an RN Get a job in a hospital with out a BSN.

    RNsRWe replied to mcclot1993's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Re-read what Crunch said. It takes that long to find a job because there is little to no demand for nurses! Competition is high, openings are

    Family at school orientation?

    RNsRWe replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    True. I think it was probably a knee-jerk reaction on all of our parts because the answer seemed so very obvious to us (based on our own experiences in school and, well, life). Clearly, that was a...

    Why are there no nursing jobs available for new grads? What is going on??

    RNsRWe replied to vab229's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Oh. My. Goodness. I had some idea of what I would write to you, vab229, to help you understand why you are in the predicament you are in and what (if anything) you might do about it now. However,...

    Family at school orientation?

    RNsRWe replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting in that there was more than one answer to this question, as shown by the varied responses. But overall, what you're saying reads more like Monday Morning Quarterbacking, doesn't it? So...

    Family at school orientation?

    RNsRWe replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    If faced with this absurdity, I would have contacted all the students in my class who had children (particularly YOUNG children) and had them bring THEM along. I personally would have escorted a...

    Pre-employment drug test

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

    This could be a tough learning experience for you, unfortunately. You can't explain the presence of a narcotic that is NOT prescribed for you by telling them "I'm not a drug user or anything....I...

    Career possibilities for older student with 1 year of NP courses

    RNsRWe replied to Hygaeia's topic in General Nursing

    It seems that your options for school would be the same as any other beginning nursing student. You would need to apply to programs in colleges with the prerequisites for those programs completed in...
