  1. Starvation: A good thing when concerning the Obese.

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to xt1's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting that OP wanted US to provide documentation/support either way, but hasn't been interested enough to respond back to any question regarding HIS research & supporting...

  2. Finding a job harder than school and NCLEX put together

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to HotmaleSPN's topic in Men in Nursing

    great news- you obviously don't really need 'luck', but just the same: good

  3. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I want to apologize to Lori for the bit of bickering, however,and the off-topic posts. Lori- my sincere hope and prayer is that you find the strength to deal with all the things before you this week-...

  4. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    OK...maybe not...but what about putting in 'quotes' things I didn't say, in the heated response directly to my

  5. Please please help me, I'm in trouble

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ImShelly31's topic in General Nursing

    You should be able to refute the positive drug test (if it comes back positive) by having it logged in your file that you showed a current prescription for the cough medicine that you took (assuming...

  6. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well...you can say THAT again! I got jumped all over way up above, and even was quoted for using words (ie. "drug addict") that I NEVER said in my post, as well as being attributed sentiments that I...

  7. I don't know what to do...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to HuggyPuglet's topic in General Nursing

    Wow...I'm sorry your husband disappointed you with his attack on your return to school, and even sorrier that you stopped AND are considering staying out. Sounds like a pattern may have developed in...

  8. NCLEX nerves took over and I failed

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to da227's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If it were me, I'd be a bit nervous about taking anti-anxiety medication, just because I react strongly and would be afraid of 'brain fog'...but only YOU know how nervous you get. I will confess that...

  9. Disrespectful to instructor....

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The rudeness that I witnessed throughout my nursing classes astounded me. People were constantly negative with feedback, slammed books and such in protest if the instructors went a minute over time,...

  10. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with above plus I did know that I would possibly incur the wrath of many by suggesting a possible drug problem in my earlier post, so I'm not surprised at all the tongue lashing. But just...

  11. RN school and tattoos?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to DirtRoads's topic in General Nursing

    Tattoos ARE forever, but thankfully nursing school is not. I say cover the Tats, take out the piercings, and be willing to wait to express yourself more fully AFTER nursing school- when what you DO...

  12. I wanted to explain what happened to me...

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    lori- my heart goes out to you, it really does. you have a boatload of pressures (financial, your grandmother, your back problem, and now morale too!)- but i'm thinking that maybe there is an...

  13. Suck at Clinicals...Should I just Quit Now?

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to Melcia060's topic in General Students

    OK...I'd like to help. Take a deep breath and know that at least in here, we love you! Here's some advice: 1) find a friend in the group or school- FAST. Ask to practice BP's & any other skills...

  14. Unethical behavior

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to kirkwoodnurse's topic in General Nursing

    We can't do a darn thing about our 'patients' values and morals. They come from all kinds of backgrounds and with all kinds of ethical standards - or none!- and this guy is obviously a less than...

  15. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Tweety- you really ARE the nicest! So glad they 'promoted' you to Moderator; you help foster good vibes on these threads and yet still maintain a 'participant' attitude (that means a hint of...

  16. $10M to Study the Nursing Shortage

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to hollyvk's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I agree with ALL of the above: its one more study that isn't needed because all the info is already in front of them- better to use the $10M to address the problems!! (like instructor shortages in...

  17. NP invisibility

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ERNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I read this as 'passive aggressive'. This is how the Drs quietly protest the use of NP's, by pulling little insulting B.S. things like that. Once, OK. But if same radiologist calls AGAIN and asks...

  18. NP invisibility

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ERNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Wow, interesting...you might find it interesting too that my sister-in-law is a Pediatrician and as an aside, she used to look really young. She got patronizing B.S. for many years from male...

  19. i know the number.....

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to charmedpn's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I've learned that number of questions means absolutely nothing. You have as good a chance as anyone- and 85% pass- so good

  20. Unethical behavior

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to kirkwoodnurse's topic in General Nursing

    People have sleazy affairs, whether they be dad's of preemies, or nurses in NICU...such is life. Dispicable on both parts- the mom confides in a nurse who is, unbeknownst to her, fooling around with...

  21. California Results

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to ebkayaker's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you passed, AND you have a SSN, AND the CA board has all of your paperwork complete, then you should see your license online within a week of taking exam. They only update once a day and yes,...

  22. How do you become a Moderator for this site??

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    As an aside: I wish this thread had been here when I first started up, not too long ago. Its given me alot of 'inside' information now, and I understand things better. I'm embarrassed about some of...

  23. Preventing Nosocomial infections: the PATIENTS THEMSELVES can help? YES!

    RebeccaJeanRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just saw this article about how patients themselves might help prevent getting a Staph infection in hospitals: http://msnbc.msn.com/id/14842700/ Interesting, but I was actually hoping for...

  25. The Today Show

    RebeccaJeanRN replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    Good suggestion (about writing letters) - that comment about too casual annoys the heck out of me too (maybe Matt should stand on HIS feet and wipe butts/ put in catheters for 12 hours straight in a...
