    Today I Witnessed Something That Upest Me

    HeartsOpenWide replied to WildFlowers84's topic in General Nursing

    that Rn was wrong right from the start...pain is what the patient says it is, and if she was on PRN or had meds that were due it is not up to the RN to decide if the pt "looks/appears" to be in pain....

    HeartsOpenWide replied to BabyNurse_PJN's topic in General Nursing

    This is not necessarily true. How does you school accept your TEAS score? do they just look at the percent? My school goes my merit and uses a point system . This is how my school scores

    Men and nursing school admission

    To accept your husband with low grades over a woman with higher grades would be sexism; let alone against the law. I doubt any school admits their students because of sex, especially those that select...
