2. Year 1 as a School Nurse

   ellieheart replied to NanaPoo's topic in School

   Everyone gets sick, but if your K+ was low, that is due to failure to replace lost K+. In other words, there's a good chance that you would have recovered much faster if you would have stayed on top...

3. Legitimate Interview?

   ellieheart replied to ellieheart's topic in Government, Military

   Thanks for the comments. I'm not thrilled at all about doing a phone interview. I've never been a big "telephone" talker. I think this puts me at a real disadvantage in order to accommodate

   Hi everyone, I have an interview question. I finally got a response for a VA nurse job I applied for. The hiring manager called me and said he wanted to schedule a "Telephone Interview". He said...

6. Has anyone ever escaped?

   ellieheart replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

   Why would you be shocked that I made it through nursing school? Because of Autism? Though autism can be very disabling for some, people at the other end of the spectrum are very functional. Our...

7. What should I say about getting fired for family complaints?

   ellieheart replied to sissonrn's topic in General Nursing

   It really doesn't matter what line of work you are in, saying that you were fired is a bad idea. Always go with the "don't ask, don't tell policy". Just because you were fired, doesn't mean that you...

   I have, and it's always like this: Home Health nurse wanted. Must have at least x number years experience in home health. Hospice, same game... I don't know what it is with companies and their...

10. Would you quit over white uniforms?

    ellieheart replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    This one is a no brainer. ALL nurses should have to wear a traditional white dress uniform, complete with the little white and red nurses cap. (including the men) Lets face it girls (and guys),...

11. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    ellieheart replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps NCLEX could share some of their data with the rest of us before making such rash decisions like denying people their license. We could look at what kind of questions were missed most...

12. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    ellieheart replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Why 3? Why not 2 or 4 or even 1? If NCLEX is so accurate, shouldn't 1 chance be enough? Can you reference any facts that support 3 as being the magic number, or is that just a gut feeling? Your...

13. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    ellieheart replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    You are missing something. Firstly, the premise for your conclusion is that NCLEX is capable of determining who is capable of being a good nurse. Which is false. I passed NCLEX with the minimum...

14. If you can't pass the NCLEX after three attempts....LVN license only!

    ellieheart replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    Your conclusion that a person who fails NCLEX three times is incapable of being a safe nurse is flawed. There are no facts to support this

15. Has anyone ever escaped?

    ellieheart replied to ellieheart's topic in General Nursing

    Great, you love nursing. But imagine for a moment that some of us didn't have the same kind of "Mary Poppins" experience with nursing that you obviously have had. Maybe we could discuss that without...
