    The Story of Jahi Continues

    scaredsilly replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Does anyone know for sure how HIPAA works in a case like this? My guess is that now that the family has filed in court and the filing is public domain that the hospital will be allowed to present...

    What to Expect from a Peer Interview?

    scaredsilly replied to cocoa_puff's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Dress professionally, but don't wear the same outfit twice, they will think its the only one you have. Low heels! I actually did see a new grad interview in spike heels-she didn't get hired and...

    Simulation interviews?

    scaredsilly replied to MissChloe's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This! And wash your hands! Everything you would do with a human patient. Don't call and ask, it would almost seem like cheating. Are you still in the same town as your school> If so, contact...

    Presbyterian St. Lukes?

    scaredsilly replied to DatMurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Sorry, you are right, I should have read your profile. I'd say go for it. You are not going to be paid as well as some other places, but it is an amazing place to work. HCA lives by patient...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    scaredsilly replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    No one is ever going to know for sure, but Im betting that dad wants to unplug and bury his daughter so he can grieve and move on. Naming him as a defendant is one way to derail him. It also...

    Cheaters.... What is our responsibility?

    scaredsilly replied to PlayaChickRN's topic in General Students

    I went to school with 2 people who cheated blatantly. One got caught during pre reqs, got a slap on the wrist and still made it into nursing school. I stayed away from them as much as possible, saw...

    Did I fail the NCLEX 265

    scaredsilly replied to Flo4Prez's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    A lot of people pass at 265 ( I did!) A lot of people fail at 265. Second guessing, or any kind of guessing is pointless. Pray, take some time off to breathe! And relax, you cannot change it....

    I agree with imintrouble and organized chaos. I really cant believe that they aren't dying to tell what really happened. If they file an answer in court, they are no longer bound by hipaa, they can...

    This is true, however so does a custodial guardian unless the other parent attempts to step in. Besides, Jahi has no financial matters, if the scamily recovers in a law suit, the plaintiffs are the...

    Presbyterian St. Lukes?

    scaredsilly replied to DatMurse's topic in Colorado Nursing

    You already know that HCA pay isn't great, but benefits are decent. Are you a new grad? If not pay is probably better than what I get. It is a totally AWESOME hospital, and I would think loads of...

    How did you pay for nursing school? Help...I'm in a pickle!

    scaredsilly replied to dc1994's topic in General Students

    Tuition and books are paid for. You won't have to pay rent. You are way ahead of the game. Loads of us (maybe even most of us) have student loans. I don't think you have a real

    No offence meant, but failing that many times may mean that there is something you are missing. The test is meant to ascertain minimum competency and safety for an entry level nurse. It is a fair...

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

    What review course does your school recommend? The bottom line is that there are many, none are "approved", all of them work-or not-depending on your needs. Kaplan is fantastic for test taking...
