    Why is there so much rudeness?

    nursel56 replied to KB1975's topic in General Students

    Could you give a brief example of what you're talking about? I've read lots of posts here, too. I've noticed that in almost every case the response is a reflection of how the post is worded in the...

    The same thing happened to my cousin's piano repairman's daughter. The vein ruptured, but she was able to use the diamond nail art on her long, chipped, disgusting acrylic nails to quickly cut sharp...

    Did you have to brush your classmates teeth?

    nursel56 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in General Students

    Because there is a secondary agenda that really bothers me, mainly because so many instructors don't discuss them prior to announcing this will be done and why. We've had some real animated...

    Just got 2 speeding tickets ;(-- Will my lic be delayed ?

    nursel56 replied to lallaloopsie's topic in California Nursing

    My instructors were rabid about start times. Your school probably has some kind of blank number of late arrivals and you're out the door no questions asked. I really do know the dilemma you're facing...

    nursel56 replied to lallaloopsie's topic in California Nursing

    June 2011? I would guess by now if you haven't done anything since then you may have a warrant attached to your license, failure to appear and possibly a suspension and 30 bazillion dollars in fines....

    Time card/ Time sheet fraud!

    nursel56 replied to Butterfly_08's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thanks for the info, Kmed1. It's something to consider to protect ourselves, though I hate that we would need to. I've learned a safe and trusting situation can turn on you quickly, and in my state...

    New grad LVN Dr. wants to pay me $10???

    nursel56 replied to vn-rn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I guess it's a sign of the times that someone would even offer such a small wage, and I really can't tell you what to do but just consider what you're looking for in a job. Could you be happy in an...

    Excited, and Angry

    nursel56 replied to veroniicaxoxo's topic in Nursing Career

    Honestly, I didn't get the impression you were confusing the two things at all. I think your boyfriend's comment is ridiculous (no offense). Of course it isn't "like a real nurse job". When someone...

    Having a hard time finding an LVN program in SO.CAL

    nursel56 replied to Apenland's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would just add to that to make sure and do your own research to verify facts they claim about job opportunities and salaries for LVNs in So Cal, too. I know lots of unemployed LVNs of all ages, the...

    New grads who are being bullied by experienced nurses

    nursel56 replied to hella_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Why do you say that? I don't see how that's different from what lots of people have said, and some who have it as an inspirational signature line. It may be stated more bluntly, but it's not...

    New grads who are being bullied by experienced nurses

    nursel56 replied to hella_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I can visualize a situation where saying "you're too slow" isn't eating your young. I was probably told that more than once when I was new on a job. If they are asking "do you want me to give...

    Nurses targeting other nurses. ...are you that miserable.

    nursel56 replied to ldiva0808's topic in Health, Stress Management

    to be honest i've not seen what i would call a concerted effort made by a group of nurses to get someone's license taken away. that's not to say i haven't seen nurses target a new nurse with bullying...

    HIPPA and Parents of Minors

    nursel56 replied to vintagemother's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I have to admit I was pretty surprised to see the part about acne and an earache. I have two kids that lived in California between age 12 and 17 and received care for various earaches, asthma,...

    All I can tell you about California is my experience as a parent here, too. I have never been asked to stay out of the room, and I don't believe the law requires it. Anyway, there is an abundance of...

    LVN moving to California (L.A.) - Advice needed!

    nursel56 replied to joeyyzoom's topic in California Nursing

    I know you aren't from a foreign country.:) It's just another reason why the job market for LVNs is so so dismal these days, and why contacting the board governing LVNs is a *****, although it was...

    LVN moving to California (L.A.) - Advice needed!

    nursel56 replied to joeyyzoom's topic in California Nursing

    Another factor is that people seeking to take the NCLEX-RN from foreign countries are being denied based on CA BON rules that were on the books but apparently not enforced, since the LVN and RN boards...
