    Nursing shortage???

    Nursynursenurse replied to MatrixRn's topic in Nursing News

    I dont know anyone from my nursing school that had any problems finding a job in Chicago suburbs. Many hospitals are hiring new grads because they can get away with paying them less. The hospital I...

    Question about disclosure

    Nursynursenurse replied to nurse4550's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure on all background checks the reason for leaving will show up as either terminated, laid off, or resigned. Not all applications will ask if you've ever been terminated but if they do...

    Advice on creepy doctors?

    Nursynursenurse replied to carterr's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No way would I let that creep win by me finding another job! OP should be assertive and file a complaint. Most workplaces have strict sexual harassment policies and take them seriously. Who knows? You...

    RN never feels guilty when calling out

    Nursynursenurse replied to Sasha100's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Your workplace has a very generous policy! Ours was a final warning at the third occurrence, terminated at fourth in a year. Three tardies = one sick day and anything over three minutes was tardy....

    marijuana and nursing.

    Nursynursenurse replied to middleagednurse's topic in General Nursing

    It is not considered working under the influence if you have a prescription for the medication. Of course that depends on which drug is being tested. The harder drugs that have no legal use would be...

    25/50 students failing anatomy avc

    Nursynursenurse replied to AshlieV's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You would have to compare the drop rate of this instructor to other instructors. I am so glad my class had A&P combined. I dont understand why some schools separate the

    RNs!!!! Did you fail Any classes???

    Nursynursenurse replied to dinah77's topic in General Nursing

    Failed a bunch of classes as a teen out of highschool. Learned my lesson and got my grades back up. Never failed a nursing course. Anything below 80% was failing in my school. Passed NCLEX the first...

    Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    Nursynursenurse replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    Clearly, you either did not read my post or you have serious problems with comprehension. I never claimed that chemistry is not in nursing or that its not important. I claimed that chemistry CLASS...

    Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    Nursynursenurse replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    Taking the required chemistry course did not prepare me for the science needed in nursing school. The other science classes were highly relevant. Yes, concepts in chemistry appear in nursing but what...

    Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    Nursynursenurse replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    I learned all of that as it pertained to the human body in A&P. Then I learned it again in nursing school from a nursing standpoint. Chemistry never helped me understand any of those topics as it...

    Failed English 101 twice! Need advice!

    Nursynursenurse replied to DorianFrancis's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It completely depends on what school you go to. My community college outperformed all universities in the area in terms of NCLEX pass rates. Hospitals in the area favored our school's students and...

    Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    Nursynursenurse replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    You consider chemistry a basic science? It might technically be classified as one but its mostly math. When was the last time a nurse ever used chemistry on the job? Chemistry is basically useless as...

    Ask for advice (then explain why it's wrong)

    Nursynursenurse replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Just because someone asks for advice doesn't mean they must agree with and accept your opinions. I think its healthier for a discussion if both sides provided an explanation for their reasoning rather...

    What GPA makes honors?

    Nursynursenurse posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I've been working on my resume and put that I graduated with honors. However, when I checked my cumulative GPA, its only a 3.367. Why does my diploma say I graduated with honors if its below the...

    Pre-Nursing student STRESSING PLEASE HELP

    Nursynursenurse replied to Prettybirdy's topic in General Students

    If I can pass Chemistry, ANYBODY can pass Chemistry! I lived in the tutoring department and needed one on one help to understand it. I was in a class with a very difficult instructor and about half...

    Help! I look young!

    Nursynursenurse replied to hella_RN's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    First of all, all you people claiming to look 10+ years younger probably dont really look that much younger. I'd guess about 95% of all people will look younger than their chronological age. People...

    Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    Nursynursenurse replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I've read that rounding your back (stooping over a patient) is one of the worst positions for the disc. If you look up anatomical pictures of the spine you will see why. This position is unavoidable...

    Most surprising/shocking/interesting thing you've seen

    Nursynursenurse replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    I never said they should be genderless. I said extreme surgeries should be the choice of the child when they are old enough to make that decision. This is also the opinion of the Intersex Society of...

    Most surprising/shocking/interesting thing you've seen

    Nursynursenurse replied to TexMex22's topic in General Nursing

    OMG! This is why people should wait until after puberty to do drastic surgeries on ambiguous genitalia. To see if their actual gender matches their chromosomes. A long time ago I was at a nursing...

    I was reported for something I didnt actually do. Help.

    Nursynursenurse replied to LisaF0115's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    But the OP said in an earlier post that cell phones are allowed in her clinical site and students are required to text the CI at certain times. A lot of hospitals are "getting with the times" and...

    Nursynursenurse replied to Circulate's topic in Men in Nursing

    Its amazing how many health workers dont care about little details like fashion! I always wear makeup. Not over the top, but enough so that I dont look dead and have concerned patients ask me if I'm...

    I feel uncomfortable doing this

    Nursynursenurse replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Is the nursing school truly concerned with the information provided in the letters? Will they use it in deciding whether or not to accept a prospective student? No. Its just another requirement...

    Fired for following orders

    Nursynursenurse replied to shmedium's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    That applies only to the nursing student during clinical hours. It doesnt matter if the nursing student is also a tech at the same hospital. When you are on the clock as a tech, you practice within...

    Perfume at work?

    Nursynursenurse replied to fawnmarie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Smelling someone's perfume even if its too strong is always better than smelling someones body odor. I wear body spray just in case I get really sweaty and start smelling. I have deodorant resistant...
