    scaredsilly replied to Angeljho's topic in General Nursing

    You did the right thing. If you haven't already, you need to tell family that a nurse cant just call out because they feel like it. That it leaves the floor short staffed, the patient care suffers...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    scaredsilly replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    The problem that I had with this story is that the reporter said that the family choose to disconnect the vent. It was not a choice. The uncle clearly stated that they didn't have a choice. The...

    First, coma and PVS are not dead. I agree that I wouldn't want a loved one kept alive in that state, but they are indeed alive and if that is their wish and that of their family, it's not our...

    Very good point, although from what I have read about this mother, if she were to have care in the home, I would bet she would use it as respite care and take

    There is a heck of a lot mentioned in newspapers that are untrue. Especially when the scam fam and Dolan is twisting things for the media attention that they want. If you are a PDN taking care of...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    scaredsilly replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Nurses are supposed to take care of living patients, not corpses. It's hard enough when a patient is being kept alive a few days waiting for organ donation, but 15 months? That's so very wrong....

    Able To Work Business Hours?

    scaredsilly replied to mirandaaa's topic in General Students

    I think it would be helpful if you understood how this works. Nursing schools make arrangements with hospitals to allow students to do clinicals-most schools have more than one hospital that they...

    Gooselady, Thanks for clarifying your opinion. That makes sense, however I for one disagree. She is NOT alive. She is merely animated. I can respect MOST families feelings. For example if a...

    scaredsilly posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think it would be helpful to people who are taking NCLex to know how you felt after you tested. Mostly interested in when you passed for those mutil-time testers. Good luck to

    scaredsilly replied to konstantine's topic in General Students

    I love your compassion, it will serve you well. BUT, you have to work hard to get through the program yourself for one thing, and in the long run, you aren't doing her any favors. If she has a...

    scaredsilly replied to Vkearn's topic in Colorado Nursing

    I was thinking clc first. I'm a new nurse so it's going to take me awhile to qualify for ibclc, but at least if I have my clc, I can use it while I rack up the hours. HCA will pay for it, so I...

    Was Pharm a biggie on the nclex-rn?

    scaredsilly replied to northmississippi's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Nurse residency programs should be looking at your applications, but any other jobs aren't going to pay much attention when you haven't graduated yet. The residency programs tend to get way more...

    Waiting for Test Results?

    Most states don't send results in email, so don't bother! If your state participates in quick results, you have a 48 hour wait. Whether they participate or not, your state BON may put a license on...
