  1. Failed NCLEX 3rd time, should I go back to do LVN?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Natnurse89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    ATI is really helpful. the questions are pretty hard, we had to do a bunch of them our last semester of my ADN. it really prepped us for NCLEX. It's good because the questions are knowledge...

  3. CNA rant

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Nursing

    I briefly touched upon this very topic in another thread I posted in and someone jumped on me acting like I was acting superior, when I was just calling it like it is. These aides exist, they ruin...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to sadbuthappy's topic in Nursing News

    Not sure why this is news to some of ya'll, attractive people in general have it easier anywhere, whether male/female, and regardless of profession. There have been social studies proving

  5. Buying a new car for a new nurse ??

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to gabriela1993's topic in General Nursing

    if you need AWD, any of the newer compact crossover vehicles will be your best bet. But even those will run you upwards of 20K for the most basic AWD version if you're buying new. And weighing down...

  6. ATI Fundamentals Exam

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to OliverElio87's topic in General Students

    use the ATI book, cause that's what the ATI exams test on. It was annoying for us because the ATI book sometimes differed with the textbook (lab values, pharmacology values, etc) so you had to...

  7. Quitting without a notice

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to turnforthenurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sometimes you unfortunately must take the "low road" - ie, get the hell outta there. I don't necessarily agree on the "it's a small world" - while the people may be the same, their levels of...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to JustBeachyNurse's topic in General Nursing

  9. Was my Professor wrong...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to loving2024's topic in General Students

    something to think about - the lethal injection for a death row inmate? it's high dose potassium. Stops the heart. Potassium is that

  10. How to Land a Job

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    What about soon to be graduates? We were informed to start applying months before graduation, I never did it because I don't know how seriously I would be taken vs a sea of graduates who already...

  11. Can we lay to rest the "compassion" nonsense?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    THIS. In my 10 yrs of working at a hospital, it's the nurses who go in it strictly because of some higher calling that end up leaving the profession. It's simply not as rainbow and unicorns as they...

  13. "Job Filled".... What?

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to kass333's topic in General Nursing

    I've actually never seen that. I mean, I would imagine they'd just remove the listing if the post is no longer available for whatever

  14. Late on interview.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to nursefromcali's topic in General Nursing

    I don't agree with recruiters and HR who think tardiness is mark against a candidate. "Why would you hire someone with poor time management" - um because maybe that person doesn't have time...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to lexieeb14's topic in Post Graduate Students

    for the new trick 2.0 you're supposed to put the wrong expiration date on your credit card that way it can't charge

  17. Cheating in nursing School...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to NurseKis's topic in General Students

    Unless you have concrete evidence of someone cheating, it's not wise to accuse another person of it. you are putting that person's future, livelihood, etc., on the line. Do you really want that kind...

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to Valcorie34's topic in General Students

    I learned it the hard way, you just gotta keep up with the herd. I took it for granted my second semester and dug a hole I almost couldn't dig out of. saying to myself "i'll catch up over the...

  20. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    years ago the hospital I worked at would have their thinning of the herd right around December (perfect for X-mas) once the number crunchers gave their numbers to the head honchos. and while it's...

  21. I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

    this is what would happen at my school. I know, because I received it. You call the nursing office, they won't answer any questions, they will instead advise you to attend a "pre-allied health" open...

  22. Shadow People/ghosts at work

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to name goes here's topic in General Nursing

    One floor I worked on during my secretary years, I heard the same low murmuring as you did. I'm always amazed at tv shows that claim to hear ghosts and make out what they say. I've heard the...

  23. I'm upset and feel very disrespected.

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to KatFUTUREnurse's topic in General Students

  25. First Week - Grave Mistake!

    NuGuyNurse2b replied to DNS.RN78's topic in General Nursing

    here's my experience: years ago, one time a nosy aide from another unit came over to ours, looked around, and asked "you guys are quiet over here." - we didn't think anything of it, it's 3-11 shift,...
