  1. How Physically Demanding is Your Job

    Aliareza replied to Satori77's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I work on an ortho unit and it is very physically demanding, as you have surmised in your original post. When I come in, I know for a fact that I will likely spend my entire morning just passing meds...

  2. But all the Nurse is doing is sitting down. Why cant the help?

    Aliareza replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    I know this feeling, and I've been on both sides of it. Point blank, being an aide/CNA sucks, hard. I basically got paid a dollar more than minimum wage to clean up all forms of grossness, toilet...

  3. I Want To Support My Pre-Nursing Student Girlfriend. Please Help!

    Aliareza replied to Fredled's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I feel really bad for OP after going through the first two pages of this thread. OP, I finished nursing school not too long ago and this is what I can share: I am an excellent student. Got A's in my...

  4. Do We Need More Nurses?

    Aliareza replied to wanna_be's topic in General Nursing

    The "shortage" all depends on where you work and what you'll deal with to have a job. There is no shortage of day shift nurses in high paying areas. There probably isn't even a shortage of night shift...

  5. Withdraw 401k for living expenses while in school?

    Aliareza replied to AllIcanbe's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    It truly depends on your situation. It can really hurt you at tax time to do something like this. The only way I'd advise it is if you know you're going to have extra room and can avoid paying so much...

  6. Failed the nclex, need help

    Aliareza replied to florida89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I'd recommend you do LaCharity's Prioritization and Delegation. You can buy the online access and get the exact same content that's in the book (I prefer online because answering a question and seeing...

  7. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Aliareza replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    Just the intolerance, I promise . I'll admit that religion in and of itself makes me uneasy. If faith is the basis of belief in something/someone instead of rational thinking, literally anything can...

  8. Nursing's Transition: Creating Inclusive Healthcare Settings for Transgendered Patients

    Aliareza replied to Jessica Quigley's topic in General Nursing

    When I first was reading through some of Parakeet's responses, all I could think was, "She'd do very well in Georgia or the deep south, where she wouldn't have to deal with much of this because...

  9. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    Aliareza replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    What I did was got myself an ASUS T100 Transformer Book. It's a 10" touchscreen tablet + a keyboard dock that you connect the tablet to. It's pretty barebones as far as laptops go, but it's got...

  10. Anyone skip pharm and pass NCLEX?

    Aliareza replied to nurse1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    As another poster pointed out, NCLEX is designed to find your weak area and make sure you never get to practice if you aren't safe enough in all areas. Once it finds that subgroup of questions you...

  11. Anyone skip pharm and pass NCLEX?

    Aliareza replied to nurse1990's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Pharm is definitely important. I knew it was a weak spot for me -- my program taught using both generic and trade names, because back when we started, NCLEX gave you both. I memorized plenty of drugs...

  12. Twas The Night Before NCLEX

    Aliareza replied to Megs2015's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What I would emphasize the most is that no matter how confident you go in there feeling, it's pretty likely you'll walk out feeling like you didn't know nearly enough and aren't at all confident that...

  13. Things you'll never forget from your nursing instructors?

    Aliareza replied to NurseCalamity's topic in General Nursing

    I had one professor in particular who kept it very real and shared some very good advice with us. "We all mess up and put our foot in our mouths sometimes. If you ever do that at work, you go tell on...

  14. New Grad - Just got a job at Starbucks. Help.

    Aliareza replied to NightWatch's topic in Nursing Career

    Really?? When I looked up Utah nursing salaries, all I found was lots of nurses complaining about how Utah, particularly SLC, has a relatively high cost of living for having such a low nursing wage,...

  15. You will all probably hate me for this

    Aliareza replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I gave your post a "like" for truth, but felt particularly driven to respond to this bit of it. I don't understand why most people will go past a few interactions when they're arguing with others. At...

  16. You will all probably hate me for this

    Aliareza replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    "It could be worse" is generally a pretty terrible argument for validating the way things

  17. New Grad - Just got a job at Starbucks. Help.

    Aliareza replied to NightWatch's topic in Nursing Career

    Which areas in New Mexico are good? I've long been interested in living somewhere out west, but find California very restrictive. I wouldn't be looking to move for a while, but I figure anywhere...

  18. You will all probably hate me for this

    Aliareza replied to Lulu Belle's topic in General Nursing

    I know there are fifteen pages of other posts (which I've skimmed through), but I wanted to post and let you know OP, I completely agree with you. I don't think I've seen the specific posts that...

  19. How much free time do you have while in school?

    Aliareza replied to TEXN's topic in General Students

    See how your program is structured, talk to some students in the program who are on their final semester of school, and base it on that. Pre-reqs were cake to me and I had plenty of free time. The...

  20. Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

    Aliareza replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What sense would it make to do it again? I don't get why anyone would sit there submitting it over and over again. Unless maybe they got the bad popup and thought they could brute force their way to...

  21. Why PVT is UNRELIABLE. Please read.

    Aliareza replied to RNsRWe's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    This whole subject has always both amused and agitated me. I don't get why so many people care on either side. There's so much drama expressed in every post, with bystanders having their minds...

  22. Half of the class fails

    Aliareza replied to kblas's topic in General Students

    I think in any program, there's that professor. I know in mine, it was the peds professor. Made the class way more difficult than it had to be, was incredibly meticulous about every single little...

  23. Nursing and the sex industry

    Aliareza replied to itsme0987's topic in General Nursing

    Going by the responses to the thread, I'd have to say yeah, it still is. Sad but true. OP, would you even have had to file taxes on the income from self-employment? They may have to send out a 1099...

  24. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    Aliareza replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    This is a good method, but as much as I wanted to continue using it in nursing school, I found it impossible. There was just far too much reading material and it was way too easy to read too in-depth...

  25. NOTES...how do you take yours?

    Aliareza replied to jkblevins's topic in General Students

    My professors didn't let us do it because classes were understood to be a closed door type of affair where we could share details of past patients and so could our professors. Many students would have...
