    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    RNsRWe replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    How about if the club were to have a loyalty card....you know, after 5 admissions to the club, you get a coupon for a free visit to the VD

    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    RNsRWe replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah.....that. Forget chanting, perhaps a hosing down for some patients prior to exam might be helpful! I recall a rotation in an OBGYN office in my student days; the aroma of the exam room after a...

    Is clinic nursing a dirty job?

    RNsRWe replied to Yerani27's topic in General Nursing

    Since the OP is obviously not yet a nursing student, she has PLENTY of time to find out that there is LOTS of dirty work to be done before ever getting anywhere near her dream job. OP, there will be...

    It's been a while!

    RNsRWe replied to mj2b's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This would fall into the "nearly impossible to answer" category, as none of us knows what kind of a student you were, what your program was like, whether you were solid on content at the time you...

    I have no idea what kind of nurse i should be

    RNsRWe replied to starryeyez17's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll offer a taste of irony here: I was only certain of two things when I was in school. Meaning, that I'd never work in med-surg or a nursing home. Guess what I started in and loved...? Yep:...

    college success for healthcare class

    RNsRWe replied to nurse~in~the~making's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Different schools have different names for classes. Asking if anyone has taken something as vague as "college success for healthcare" is honestly pretty much a waste of time. Maybe it's a...

    Pre Nursing Student

    RNsRWe replied to adavis0613's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes. Make an appointment with your school's academic counselor and/or your anticipated school's admissions counselor and go over the numbers with those people. None of us can possibly answer this for...

    Can't pass the psb lpn entrance test!

    RNsRWe replied to sweetheart150010's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How about a language tutor? Seems to me the test isn't stupid, it's a tool designed to weed out those applicants the school feels have the least chance of passing their program. And you, it would...

    Nclex rn 2015 75 questions

    RNsRWe replied to lta mangeshkar's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes Pearson Vue will also take your money if you passed. NON-refundable fee of $200, so...expensive game! It's a myth that Pearson Vue CANNOT take your funds if you passed. You offer...

    Help me get into nursing school!

    RNsRWe replied to jaime_michelle's topic in General Students

    I think that's the part that most people forget (or want to forget): Sometimes, working really hard for something still doesn't make it happen. Sometimes, the advice to persevere no matter what, to...

    New Graduate Nurse

    RNsRWe replied to MKRN00's topic in General Nursing

    I'm guessing from your post that you are not from the US? Networking is extremely important and strongly encouraged for students while still in school, as the competition for new graduate nursing...

    The Nurse on the Other Side

    RNsRWe replied to sheilagood52's topic in General Nursing

    Your post reminded me of a situation I've posted about before on AN. Had to do with a patient in Bed A who was complaining that she hadn't received her ice water yet...her water was ROOM...

    RNsRWe replied to bassadict69's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked a unit that required two staff on together, only ONE needed to be a nurse. Also a locked unit. Much depends on the needs of the unit....let's face it, if there's a code, you're gonna hit...

    When did you find your calling?

    RNsRWe replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    OMG, you just gave me a flashback to several years ago. Needed to get a stool sample from Patient X, and placed a plastic 'hat' in the toilet to help facilitate that. Patient X's family member stops...

    When did you find your calling?

    RNsRWe replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    The reference to a "calling" is a religious one: who, if not a Divine Creator, is the 'calling' coming from, then? It's interesting to note that lawyers, engineers, doctors, pharmacists, carpenters DO...

    When did you find your calling?

    RNsRWe replied to SBDon's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the point of her post was to let you know that the REALITY of nursing is a far cry from the FANTASY of nursing. That is, many people have an unrealistic view of what nursing should be...

    Took Nclex and ran out of time

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

    A poll is useless in this situation. It doesn't matter whether anyone ELSE failed or passed after running out of time; it has zero bearing on how YOU did. People pass. People fail. YOU are your...

    RNsRWe replied to hannenurse2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Loved the movie about the story, "Catch Me If You Can"! Fascinating. But yes, brains is most definitely required to pull off a believable scam. So it would seem that the only people truly being...

    Or not. Can walk in off the street, be hired as a medical assistant without any degree of any kind. As long as he or she is able to sign his or her name, and write in English...that's about it for...
