    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    They aren't! It seems as if there are just too many parents who view naming a child in the same light as a creative writing contest. They don't consider that the reason they are the first to...

    Yes, I met a woman with that name, and I also find it

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    And what is UP with the free-for-all tossing of apostrophes into names?? I'm seeing that in birth announcements in the local paper over the last couple of years, too. They make absolutely no sense!...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Yah, interesting, isn't it? My. And Google searches reveal only countless threads on message boards (mostly baby-naming sites, no wonder!) of people looking for some proof that people with these...

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    Maybe you like being inundated with ridiculous repetition of urban legends, but I think there's enough who don't that it's worth saying. There's ALOT of funny stuff that's true without mucking it up!...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    Sorry, but no dice. Another supposed sighting of these fictitious twins, even though a simple Google search will reveal it's been a lie going on for

    I get panic attacks before I go to work

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

    'At will employment' means that your employer may terminate your employment for any reason (not protected by discrimination category) or no reason. And you, too, do not have to give a reason for...

    New grad who wanted ICU, got med surg, advice?

    RNsRWe replied to meagenreason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    How on earth did you take what I wrote as "berating"? I gave a constructive opinion, explained why I felt that the ICU job she outlined was a poor choice, and how she would have opportunities to...

    What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    RNsRWe replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    EXACTLY what I was thinking, as I had a patient with a very unusual name---and I KNOW it was her name, as she was my patient! But no, I wouldn't dare POST that name. Asking for

    Urban legends are all OVER this board. Some going back ten, fifteen years based on my own memory! Considering the sheer number of people who claim to have personal knowledge of some absolutely...

    RN license in more than one state? NCLEX in New York applicable to any state?

    RNsRWe replied to Laurenslovely's topic in California Nursing

    You aren't "transferring" your license. You can have as many endorsements to work in as many States as you like (provided you meet each State's application criteria). You can choose to let an...

    Continuing education on a resume

    RNsRWe replied to chicagoboy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Ah, except for states like NY that don't require any CEs at all....and therefore those who take quality courses (significant credit hours) in their field DO actually stand out. Crazy, but

    New grad who wanted ICU, got med surg, advice?

    RNsRWe replied to meagenreason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You can tell those friends and family that you'd rather be the nurse who has the ability to be of help to their own loved ones in the ICU, instead of the nurse who has no idea what's going on and what...

    Patient care job question?

    RNsRWe replied to 5ummer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are you asking if a PCT job will be a waste of time and money (not sure I understand the latter particularly) or if going to nursing school will be this waste? Can't help you if unsure what you're...

    New grad who wanted ICU, got med surg, advice?

    RNsRWe replied to meagenreason's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Noting bold type, I find it hard to believe you have a real dilemma here. Yes, I understand your desire to go to ICU, but the reason the ICU job you were offered is in such a bad situation is because...

    Continuing education on a resume

    RNsRWe replied to chicagoboy's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Bingo. A few one or two credit-hour courses, highly doubtful anyone will care. I wouldn't. But something like an all-day seminar in a VERY related area to which you are applying?

    Have you ever done something against the law to protect your patient?

    Family at school orientation?

    RNsRWe replied to Summergrace's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to add one more thing here, because the OP's post reminds me of another student who was facing being thrown out of school for bringing someone to a clinical. I seem to think it was a...

    I want to be an LPN but I am scared of nursing school!

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

    Find someplace local to get CNA certification; you'll find out fast and cheap if it's going to be a problem. Then find a job as a CNA. Once you do that, you'll get all the hands-on you can handle

    Did your school allow "thank yous" during your pinning?

    RNsRWe replied to Carson13's topic in General Students

    We had a multi-page program designed so attendees would know what was happening in what order. And in the same program, a section for a statement for each graduate. Could be a thank you, whatever....

    Can you become an LPN during ADN nursing school in Florida?

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

    Contact your State BON. While I am not in FL, for comparison's sake I know that NY requires a nursing student to have received a minimum amount of course and clinical work prior to application to sit...
