  1. Student Loan Debt

    NOADLS replied to KeepItRealRN's topic in General Students

    I could understand 100K in debt for both the BSN and MSN, but for either piece, 100K is a joke. OP, care to explain how you think someone could end up 100K in the hole like

  2. Would you continue Nursing school with a known back injury?

    NOADLS replied to Calzona's topic in General Nursing

    You are likely finished with the CNA related stuff. I would finish it if I were

  3. Would you continue Nursing school with a known back injury?

    NOADLS replied to Calzona's topic in General Nursing

    If I were in such a situation, it would depend on how deep into the program I was in. If I were nearing completion, there is no way I would jump ship. At this point, you should have an indication of...

  4. Do RNs do a lot of heavy lifting?

    NOADLS replied to TimTamJimJam's topic in General Nursing

    What would you define as heavy? If you don't want to do heavy lifting, just find a job where you won't have to do any. Only problem is that this limits where you can work and that is not good if you...

  5. Back to school for a non-nursing degree?

    NOADLS replied to learningnsgstudent's topic in General Nursing

    You have no obligation to say anything. If asked why you aren't available during those times, you could still say you have other commitments without disclosing that you're in school for something...

  6. The sloppy image of nurses today

    NOADLS replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    She is what we call a "noob." Or completely oblivious to the game's

  7. The sloppy image of nurses today

    NOADLS replied to RNdynamic's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I saw this thread and did an assessment on a nurse I work with. Eyebrow game is strong. She needs to step up her game in all other areas though. That thigh gap should accommodate 4 fingers, but it can...

  8. Is this what nursing is about?

    NOADLS replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    I am not trolling. Seriously, let the CNA do the work that they are trained to do while you sit back and enjoy. Or if that doesn't sit well with you, you can be "doing paperwork" or you could...

  9. ED Ethics In Self Harm

    NOADLS replied to ReadyToListen's topic in Emergency

    5th amendment rights If the person refuses to answer and the person is not displaying any signs or symptoms of going cray cray, not much you can

  10. Is this what nursing is about?

    NOADLS replied to russianbear's topic in General Nursing

    See: "NETY" (Nurses Eat Their Young) This also extends to other positions in the healthcare setting. The cure to this problem is called

  11. 3 on, 4 off vs 6 on, 8 off

    NOADLS replied to sjalv's topic in General Nursing

    If I weren't pursuing my NP, 6 on 8 off would be ideal for me. I would just work / eat / sleep on my 6 on and enjoy my time with the 8 days off. I couldn't imagine working a "regular" looking schedule...

  12. I was a cam model. Can I still be a nurse?

    NOADLS replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    See: Nicole

  13. I was a cam model. Can I still be a nurse?

    NOADLS replied to RaggedyAm's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You should survive a background check. My only advice to you is to refrain from having any cam sessions at your place of work. If you work nights and it is really quiet, the temptation might be there....

  14. Night shift RN's :Do you eat in the morning after your shift?

    NOADLS replied to DesertSky's topic in Health, Stress Management

    This is also the case for me. I'll only eat after my shift if I know I am staying

  15. What does "Benefits Ineligible" mean? Good/Bad for New Grad RN?

    NOADLS replied to JPChi's topic in General Nursing

    The lack of benefits might result in those jobs being less competitive to get since more experienced nurses might not like the lack of benefits. If you are a new grad, you aren't in a position to be...

  16. Night Nursing: Precepting & Perception

    NOADLS replied to Larry2016's topic in General Students

    There is always something to do on night shift. Hard to get bored playing candycrush or doing

  17. Pt.s Ordering Food from Outside Hospital?

    NOADLS replied to annie.rn's topic in General Nursing

    Family members bring in their garbage food all the time. It isn't really that different if it is a delivery from a company. Some people are never going to follow a dietary order. You can't really...

  18. Do you stalk anyone here?

    NOADLS replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Do you want an ice cream?

  19. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

    NOADLS replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

  20. How many is too many? Medication errors

    NOADLS replied to fangirl's topic in Patient Medications

    Narcotics are serious business. Even the smallest thing is a "must report." Because if you don't report it and the person after you does report it, guess who is taking the

  21. Age- looking young

    NOADLS replied to Newnurse1792's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't get hired based on your age, don't push it. What if you did get hired? Do you think it would be a good environment to work in? Chances are that if you didn't get hired because of your...

  22. Do you stalk anyone here?

    NOADLS replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Who sent me the fleshlight with the return address as "allnurses?" Thanks btw

  23. How many is too many? Medication errors

    NOADLS replied to fangirl's topic in Patient Medications

    I disagree with this based on your reasoning, although I would still reach the same conclusion because I don't want to be "that person." As licensed nurses, we are held to the standard set by the BON,...

  24. Eating spaghetti raise blood pressure immediately?

    NOADLS replied to DanaBrianMampel's topic in General Nursing

    I have an interesting condition where my blood pressure is affected by my girlfriend's side of the family. I know there shouldn't be any relationship and no (before anyone chimes in), there is no...

  25. Is it OK to discipline nurses extra for calling in sick on a holiday?

    NOADLS replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I am willing to bet that for every one person that is legitimately sick during the holidays, there are at least a dozen who aren't sick and choose to call in. If I was legitimately sick during those...
