  1. Students who get As are bad bedside nurses

    Fr what it's worth: Every bit of knowledge you gain makes you better able to advocate for your patient. Do what you're doing and believe what you tell yourself over the noise you will hear from others...
  2. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    LOL,
  3. People really need to stop coming into nursing

    Libby1987, BSN, RN: I am an RN, BSN too (I place BSN 2nd because I find the "RN" the important part in any nurse). I am a "baby nurse." I made it 4 days on the floor into orientation before my doctors...
  4. Esme Needs Your Prayers and Well Wishes

    Get well, Esme. We'll hold down the fort. Just tell us: Where did you hide the N95s and BB
  5. Toward a Level 4 Protocol for Ebola

    Thank you for answering the question about your interest, but this really doesn't tell us your interest and allow us to gauge our responses accordingly. There's no personal gain for you in having this...
  6. allnurses Ebola Preparedness Survey Makes the News.

    I am a BSN. You have my support. I was never an LPN, but I have held both subordinate and supervisory roles to those of LPNs. I wouldn't, personally, tolerate listening to anyone degrade an LPN based...
  7. I thought I saw them doing so only in her defense and in order to clarify her position? I'd have to search to find that news clip, though, if you want
  8. I personally gave Facebook up awhile ago and agree with you. However, I did use it in its early days. I got caught up in the hype. If everything on the 'net truly IS always on the 'net, people could...
  9. "What bothers me about the release of her information is that now, if she survives (which I hope), everyone or anyone who has been paying attention, will know her as the "Ebola Nurse." I said this...
  10. Exactly! If true, this means our personal lives are accessible solely through our profession, far too easily. Yes, the world we live in is changing. This, however, is not about privacy alone. This...
  11. I hear you, elkpark. I am angry for Mr. Duncan as well. The difference -- for me -- is that I can identify with this young nurse and so it is more personal. By standing up for those I identify with...
  12. Worried about the rejection from program

    I liked your first paragraph, the one about competing only with yourself. Is your family in medicine? If so, I can't imagine they don't already know it's a hard path with serious responsibilities. If...
  13. AND the article tells you the brick color and general geographical location of her home! Don't get sick, folks! What a mess for this young nurse to have to deal with early in her career! I hope some...
  14. Student Loans

    Hi, I did my AAS (Associate/2-year degree) while working full time, with 3 kids and going through a divorce. We were told not to work, but I was forced to tell them if I didn't work, I couldn't...
  15. I've always found it to my advantage not to try "outsmarting" interviewers. If they've read your resume, they know your background/ experience. i simply ask, "Can you tell me what to expect next in...
  16. I think I might have blown a vein?

    I love your encouragement, Medic! Well
  17. Ouch, my back!

    I'm a little confused: If a lift is available, why aren't you using it every time you reposition your client? Doing so would be easier/ healthier for BOTH of
  18. I can't speak as to whether you should apply for positions in these circumstances, as I'm not a manager and haven't been in your position. i agree w/ the PP about continuing to show active learning...
  19. Just because someone "says" you have to do something does not equate to you "actually" having to do so. I would have been laughing at the salesperson so hard she couldn't get her next words out. I...
  20. I just lost my mom...now what? Seeking program advice.

    You seem incredibly intelligent and your Mother must be incredibly proud of the way you conduct yourself. I'm sorry for your loss and agree that there is no shame in going part-time in order to...
  21. Ebola-like virus,
  22. CAN WE TALK???

    Thought for the day: Education does not a wise man
  23. If you suspect the reasoning might be BS, it is likely management does as well. Unfortunately - or maybe not - we build a reputation and, when life comes down to brass tacks and we NEED credibility,...
  24. I PASSED

    Congrats, RN
  25. I took NCLEX 2 days ago and I failed

    I'm sorry. How did you study? Anything you can identify as a weak point? It's good to see you're already planning to try again. Have you shown ÿour wife the threads of others who haven't passed...
