  1. Why do nurses seem to have a bad reputation?

    LittleCandles replied to unbrokenx3's topic in General Nursing

    I sleep around, it has nothing to do with life or death or me being a nurse. I'm just a whore. Anyyyywhoooo... Yeah stop watching

  2. I am pregnant and I am about to start my new job.

    LittleCandles replied to elenasimona's topic in General Nursing

    This happened to me. I actually found out a few days after getting the job. They're super supportive. I was honest with coworkers so I don't have to lift heavy patients alone and management found out....

  4. HELP DNP vs FNP

    LittleCandles replied to nurseNsearch15's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Maybe I'm naive but 5000 a year doesn't seem like a lot for going from masters to doctorate.

  5. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    LittleCandles replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Again, I had and nowhere did it say Wisconsin law states it's illegal to call a LPN a nurse. Nowhere. It says people like CNA and MA cannot but not

  6. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    LittleCandles replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    Wikipedia is not a good site to source. The state says you can call yourself a nurse. So... Unless it's printed in their laws that it's unlawful. It seems like a "rumor" an angry RN made to prevent...

  7. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    LittleCandles replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

  8. Thoughts on nurses who graduate nursing school calling themselves nurses before the NCLEX

    LittleCandles replied to pmabraham's topic in General Students

    To be honest, I have a hard time believing any state would not allow a practical nurse to refer to herself/himself as a nurse. Could you post the law for this

  9. Do you talk to yourself?

    LittleCandles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I have also been known to lecture myself. I always start it out with my first and middle name 😒 lol. I did this actually yesterday. I usually work 2nd shift and picked up a 1st and kept trying...

  10. Do you talk to yourself?

    LittleCandles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I was talking to myself yesterday at my med cart and my patient was asking me who I was talking to... I'm on the dementia unit.. And a very confused patient thought I was crazy for talking to myself....

    LittleCandles replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm not arguing I was answering the question. Also, of course experience does have a lot to do with hiring and interviews. However the experence comment had nothing to do with what the social media...

    LittleCandles replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I don't think social media is that big of a deal. But employers do. Which has been studied and proven. I'm not sure why you're arguing. Just because YOU don't agree doesn't mean it isn't something...

    LittleCandles replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    LittleCandles replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    You're kind of naive. You ever not get a call back for a job? Or have them say they went with someone else or some other crap excuse? It, very well could be because they searched for you on the...

    LittleCandles replied to Michael M. Heuninckx's topic in First Year After Licensure

    It does make sense though, in our field. We need to be social able and be able to contain it online and make it look professional. Employers also use it to try to gage your personality. If your cover...

  20. Excelsior Pell Grants?

    LittleCandles replied to PD82's topic in Excelsior College

    Hmm, I am not really sure because I am paying for my classes out of pocket and actually taking the exam route not the courses, I would call financial aid and ask about it, they should be able to walk...

  24. Every other weekend & holidays??

    LittleCandles replied to LuciaRN2b's topic in General Nursing

    Even if there was a nursing shortage, wouldn't they NEED weekend and holiday nurses the most? I honestly thought (before joining AN) it was common knowledge that nurses work holidays and weekends and...
