    Nurses with ear piercings

    RNsRWe replied to hshuang's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I'm sorry you felt the responses were harsh, because in all honestly they were not. I've seen MUCH harsher commentary directed on this topic, so you really shouldn't see anything like that on this...

    Worried

    RNsRWe replied to RBlis's topic in General Students

    There isn't really any advice to give you. You have an option to apply to two local nursing schools, so therefore you should apply to both. If only one takes you, you go there....if they both do, you...

    Did I ACTUALLY pass the NCLEX?

    Nurses with ear piercings

    RNsRWe replied to hshuang's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Yes, which is a hard reality when it comes to a competitive job market and limited spaces in nursing school programs. In the idealistic world of "but why should it matter?" you wouldn't understand...

    Nursing Program at West Coast University (CA)?

    RNsRWe replied to 301589's topic in General Students

    A huge con, as you know, is the price, but it's important to recognize why: they turn away no one who has a check for tuition. The quality of the student body, therefore, and the quality of the...

    Do you need a tb and an x-ray as part of your physical?

    RNsRWe replied to WE~DO~CARE's topic in General Nursing

    Part of this problem may be the belief she is "allergic" but in reality has sensitive skin, and not a systemic allergy. Unless someone is very practiced in giving the PPD correctly, and then READING...

    Random Valuable NCLEX Facts :)

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

    I believe what JustBeachyNurse was trying to get across is that you cannot determine whether a question is above passing or below passing standard by looking at it. In saying "this type of question is...

    I hate night shift

    RNsRWe replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    This statement is only one skip away from "you're being negative because you disagree with it". I am NOT supportive of a situation in which a woman is unhappy and living in emotional turmoil. Why on...

    Starting to think there should be some limits...

    RNsRWe replied to roser13's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, that's definitely a biggie. Also, a differing opinion is "negative" because it's not what someone else wants to hear. Like I told someone else on another thread, my viewpoint is not negative...

    Failed?

    RNsRWe replied to NCLEX-RN prep's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You either did very well or very poorly, if you want to think of it that way. SATA questions, format type mean nothing. Don't try to read anything into the kinds of questions you got, that won't...

    I hate night shift

    RNsRWe replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    Comments, input, feedback is not "negative" because it disagrees with what you personally believe. It is simply a difference in viewpoint. Sometimes the most positive thing anyone can ever do for...

    Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

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

    Margaretann, sounds like you are clear-headed and rational. That, in and of itself, will determine how well you handle all that becoming a nurse entails, and the work you would do once the status is...

    Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

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

    And you are free to do so. Your opinion, as I expected, would be different than mine, and mine will be different from someone else's. Based on what you wrote, your experiences differed from mine....

    The new nclex

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

    All the more reason to wait and see what your instructors recommend. Keep in mind, too, that different review programs focus on different student needs. For instance, Hurst is usually recommended...

    RNsRWe replied to Wrangler156's topic in General Nursing

    And I understand that while you may not appreciate hearing it, it IS what you need to hear. Not liking something isn't the same as not needing it, not wanting to know the truth isn't the same thing...

    LPN vs RN

    RNsRWe replied to student4578's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Much depends on where you want to work in the long-term. You said you've "always wanted to work in a hospital and the neonatal unit". Ok, but as an LPN that's practically impossible. There are...

    Thinking about becoming a nurse...at 40!

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

    Like MaryJean, I'm going to be telling you this from the perspective of a working nurse, not a nursing student. The perspectives will be quite different, as you can see on this thread! When you are a...

    Crazy clinicals instructor doesn't like us using the restroom?

    RNsRWe replied to JESSICAAA159's topic in General Students

    Was also thinking, while reading the other responses, that not only did the nurses actually DO this weird tally of potty breaks, but they seemed to have the TIME to do it. I think I'd have said to...

    The new nclex

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

    There is no change in the NCLEX that has any bearing on any review book currently in print. As I said, it has to do with statistics, NOT content. You will still need to know what you need to know....

    Able To Take NCLEX-PN While In School For RN?

    RNsRWe replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    It's not very common, but some States permit it. Others used to, but kaboshed it after awhile. There is a thread currently running in the LVN/LPN forum, posted by someone who didn't finish her RN...

    Black Humour

    RNsRWe replied to Tenebrae's topic in Nursing Humor

    If you loved that, wait until THIS one: It includes the one above, but I swear if you aren't roaring there is something NOT black about your humor,
