    The Story of Jahi Continues

    scaredsilly replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Where is the photo with the baby? It's not on facebook and I haven't seen it. If it's out there for the public to see, why hasn't anyone sent it to family services? Surely they would have...

    EXACTLY!!!! I hate to see anyone endangered, but they DID bring it on themselves. Perhaps the mother can sell a couple of the MK bags and hire

    Failed 5th time is there God I can't study anymore!!!!!!!!

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

    THIS!!!! In my state we have several nursing programs that have under 70% pass rate and one is consistently around 50%. I agree that these programs should not exist. If the state(s) cannot close...

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

    I don't see us as rude at all. I think (as do others apparently) that this person is lacking something very basic as far as nursing education goes and that she needs to return to school for a...

    The Story of Jahi Continues

    scaredsilly replied to EaglesWings21's topic in Nursing News

    Yes they are, and that's how this was found. However, as much as these guys are into having money handed to them, I suspect that Dolan will attempt to sue over the fact that the publisher posted the...

    I started my nursing career and I am so unhappy!!!!! :(

    scaredsilly replied to alaber's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I never met anyone who went home after a first day saying "I love this job", and that's any job not just nursing. Nursing is intense, there is SO much to learn that you did not learn in school, and...

    Bombed my first interview!?

    scaredsilly replied to 103103's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They know they are hiring a new grad (in your case, not even graduated yet), they aren't apparently looking for years of experience. You may have "bombed" in terms of the answers you gave, but in...

    I hadn't seen that story, thank you for the link. Publishing the location where they are keeping the body is something that Dolan is going to run with and make into a huge scandal claiming it...

    Just because the patient works at a test center and you are about to graduate does not give you the right to waterboard her for NCLEX

    3 Job offers as last semester student

    scaredsilly replied to besaangel's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't recommend float. Not enough orientation and floating on different units is going to require more training than they seem to want to give. Either of the other ones would be good. What...

    Help? I regret this career choice?

    scaredsilly replied to katie6126's topic in General Students

    Have you graduated and passed NCLEX? If not, it's not too late to switch your course of study (unless you are almost done). PT, OT, RT, pharm are all viable options. BUT, before you do, you need...

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

    This is a national test, it should have universal standards regarding how many times you can take it without formal remediation. Some states say three times, then you go back to class--which seems...

    ACLS class as a student? good or pointless?

    scaredsilly replied to procrastinator911's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I wanted to work in L&D, so I got my NRP and STABLE while I was waiting for my ATT for NCLEX. I think it helped me get my first job! The hospital I work at would have paid for it after I was...

    PATIENTS BECOMING MORE ABUSIVE?? anyone agree?

    scaredsilly replied to nurseredd's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I work L&D, so most of our patients run the gamut from being abusive while in labor to being happy and helpful after the baby is here. Therefore my comments may not be valid from a nurse point of...

    What's your dress code at work?

    scaredsilly replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    We are color coded and my facility has been for 3 or 4 years. The hospital owns the tops which have the logo on them and we change when we get to work (we are not allowed to take them home). We are...

    If that is your real name, you might want to change to an anonymous screen name. Never a good idea to put real names on any forum. No one thing works for everyone. What does your school recommend?...
