    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Missed this post, sorry! People who post frequently tend to develop a style of writing that becomes recognizable. I know I have it, there's no doubt when it's ME and not someone PRETENDING to be me...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Ok, tell them that and you are guaranteed to sound stupid. Seriously! This is an interview, you shouldn't be wondering aloud why on earth they are interested in you. As the PP said, read up on PBI...

    Pearson Vue Trick 2015 Latest

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

    When you say "it showed I failed", did you actually submit your credit card payment of $200, it was ACCEPTED, you received the receipt.....yet you passed? Or do you mean you got to the credit card...

    VA Nurse Pay Scales

    RNsRWe replied to kristykat's topic in Government, Military

    I took a look, and while I can't be sure, my GUESS is that it's the number of positions for that level that the facility has (or had) open at the time of the posting? I really don't know...it's not...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    "meaner than cat manure"....OMG, that's good! Yeah, the thing with the 'parenting' site (it really was mostly Mommies,let's face it, but they wanted to be open to all, etc etc) is it brought out...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    RNsRWe replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    How the hell does one "accidentally" call herself a Registered Nurse when she isn't one?! Seems pretty clear intent to misrepresent her status....which is why that lawyer got her out of there fast....

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    No kidding! Thing is, there are far too many people who put far too much stock in "friends" online, people they think they "know" and they just don't. Some of these kids think people like me are...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    The one I'm thinking about was on a parenting board; this nutcase had one login that was a single mother, another login that was pregnant with her first baby, another login was grieving loss through...

    RNsRWe replied to Hopeful girl's topic in Government, Military

    No, it is not only dates of employment; you are asked on your application if you have ever been terminated from a position and that is verified with the employers you list. Honestly, I think you're...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    VA eye clinics are general clinics; you won't be asked if you know about rare diseases, they do far more with eyeglasses than anything else! At least that's what I'm familiar with in ours. Think...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Years ago, on a different board site, I remember when we (regulars) figured out we had a real psycho on our hands: posting under various names, pretending to be new, pretending to be a certain...

    New RN and unemployed

    RNsRWe replied to Mythico's topic in General Nursing

    I'll resist the urge. Perhaps you ought to consider moving. It may not be realistic to stay where you are when there are no (or very few) job openings for new grads. Take a look at online job...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Every now and then someone creates a new account so they can be "brand new" and still spout the same garbage no one wanted to hear under their previous username. Other times it's clear that someone...

    FLAME ON!

    RNsRWe replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    Then you're probably also in exactly the right position to tell everyone why they aren't fit to be nurses, that they don't have the compassion required, that they are all in it for the wrong reasons,...

    VA Hiring Process

    RNsRWe replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in Government, Military

    I don't know you from Adam, so can't tell you what you should do, but *I* would take the job that was offered, and then pursue the VA job anyway. You'd at least HAVE a job, while waiting to see what...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder why no one gets all judgey when a lawyer says he chose the law as a profession because he could make scads of money? Or when a doctor says the same thing? There are many MDs--surgeons come...

    Evolution and Nursing

    RNsRWe replied to TheFowldogg's topic in Coffee Lounge's Lounge

    Well......I am not an athiest, but I don't believe in Hell. I have no belief in a fire-and-brimstone existence, or in any version of The Devil that is so everpresent in Christianity's teachings. I...

    Nurse retention

    RNsRWe replied to mombuxx's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the biggest incentive most have would be the steady paycheck! I don't believe it's commonplace anymore to find incentives and bonuses for retention; when employers know they can hire two...

    People really need to stop coming into nursing

    RNsRWe replied to DUDERNGUY's topic in General Nursing

    Was talking to an acquaintance just the other day; she was telling me that her daughter has been trying to get into a nursing program without success. She (the mother) was so surprised at this, as...

    This link is excellent, THANK you for posting it! It mentions that inappropriate use of gloves is not only wasteful of resources, but may contribute to ineffective hand hygiene as well. Someone had...
