  2. I really, really feel like calling it quits

  3. i feel like quitting (long post)

    Please DO NOT QUIT! Don't let another person's immaturity squash you're dream into dust. You will spend the rest of your life wondering what would have happened if you had stayed in. If someone...

  9. Hi, I received a call today and was invited to come for a "pre-interview" for an RN position at a local GI office. Are they testing medical knowledge questions, or just pre-screening you to see if...

  14. Ok RNs, give it to me straight! =)

    I went through the same questions after I graduated. I took a job in Med/Surg because I figured that it would be wiser for me to master my skills now while I was still fresh. If I had gone straight...
  15. Oh the horror of getting those kinds of questions in school! It was so frustrating. Being the newest nurse here, I won't pretend to know anywhere near as much as they do, but my first instinct would...

  21. Oh God, A NURSE is my pt!!!!

    I WAS the nurse in the bed 2 months ago. I was very idealistic and naive, and had only been working as a nurse for a week when I got sick, and let me tell you that I wished I could have laid back and...

    My RN program had that rule after 2 class failures, not one. But you should always be allowed to petition a school for readmission. I've never heard of that. But if that is there policy, maybe you...
