    ButterflyRN90 posted a topic in Nursing Career

    Hello, I'll try to make this as short and sweet as possible. My mother is an RN. She was a Labor and delivery nurse for many years. She left floor nursing for case management, 12 years ago. She...

    Yes. Unfortunately. Simple mistakes are made, but that's how you can fail. You have two attempts. You need 9/10 correct to

    That means you graduate next December right? You'll have a summer break then. I still wouldn't advise waiting until then though. Best time if needed is

    "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A one-sided experience though. I've been a patient more times than not. I've also been a nurse with the same frustrations, it just seemed like picking at diabetics. It's not easy living with this crap...

    Lightens up? You mean Trends? Nothing lightens up. It's hard going in and it's hard throughout. It's not impossible,but take micro beforehand if you can. I took micro during Peds, and algebra during...

    "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I told her I was hungry. I wanted to eat. I knew it was better for me not too have the sandwiches, but I can still have protein. She also asked me how I was feeling, guess she thought I wouldn't say...

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    He's going to be hungry. Polyphagia is a symptom of hyperglycemia. You don't have to be condescending. As a type 1, I've told a nurse in the hospital that I was hungry. She commented the same, rudely,...

    Broward college Jan 2015 help?

    ButterflyRN90 replied to sureshotannie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the instructor, plus it's been over a year since I was in process. The math test has 2 attempts. Try to pass it the first time. It's okay if you don't, you have a second attempt, but if...

    Idk what an RMA is, but Workforce One (CareerSource) pays for my schooling as well. Well, glad it worked out for the best.

    Congrats! But if you don't mind me asking: Why did you wait 2 years for a call? Why not have applied to BC? There's no waiting list like

    Pretty much. I can't say it's a definite, but that's better than my overall gpa 2.4 . Your sciences/core should be fine.

    Excelsior LPN to RN

    ButterflyRN90 replied to Helper-T's topic in Excelsior College

    I'm curious, I'm currently in the LPN-RN bridge in my college. This school seems kinda fishy. Where's your clinical experience? 2-3 days for a clinical practical and then boards?

    Dating a former patient

    ButterflyRN90 replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    Even if she offered, he would have been able to decline. I still see that as not professional. I had a pt do this, I politely declined and when he asked :"Why? Got a boyfriend or something? " I...

    Dating a former patient

    ButterflyRN90 replied to thepsychtech's topic in Psychiatric

    My question is though: How was he able to get the patient's contact information without using what was in the chart (abuse of power) or asking for her number outright (breach in professionalism)? Not...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    ButterflyRN90 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You do that. Medical experience as in nursing. You just said you are starting nursing school in January therefore you don't have nursing treatment experience. OP's thinking isn't in tune with what we...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    ButterflyRN90 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Exactly my point. Until you have a feel of being the person in charge of their care and treatment plans and having to put your likes and dislikes aside, you don't have an understanding. Ethics play a...

    Are these things a CNM would do?

    ButterflyRN90 replied to JJ1994's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Are you even a nurse or someone in the medical field? I'm guessing you're not. Again, there is NO place in nursing where a healthcare worker can place so many moral limitations that may or may not...
