  1. Got a C on my first Nursing exam!!!!!

    NurseNHowell replied to nataluya85's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I always remember what my LVN instructors told me "C's are still passing and no employer is going to ask what your score was on a random quiz. Focus on NCLEX style questions, be thankful you passed...

  2. We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    NurseNHowell replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I hate to say it but yes some of the nurses are scattered and overwhelmed but there's a few that don't belong in nursing just like any nursing field. I must say this though... Sometimes you getting...

  3. We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    NurseNHowell replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I refuse to work off the clock and I'll pass my extra in report bc I'm off the clock. My previous job if you went into overtime you got a write-up, they tried to give me one once and I straight told...

    NurseNHowell replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well I couldn't find the thread again from my phone nor could I figure out how to find my commented threads untilI stumbled upon it today randomly looking for something else but here you go. I was...

  5. You are NOT allergic to...

    NurseNHowell replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    No you, the OP, were not the one to write they just delete what they feel isn't an allergy. My reading and comprehension is perfectly fine, you might want to brush up on yours. Now my computer skills...

  6. We were all wrong about nursing home nurses

    NurseNHowell replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have been a CNA, EMT & LVN, in the RN program currently. I've been a LVN for over a decade and have worked for a magnet hospital in the ER/MedSurg/GI/L&D, a inpatient hospice, surgery...

  7. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    NurseNHowell replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    Its far from a fantasy. It isn't the delusion that they will perform perfectly but the fact that they will not lay down and be a victim. That they will do everything they possibly can to be able to...

  8. Concealed Carry for Caregivers

    NurseNHowell replied to ClaraRedheart's topic in General Nursing

    Excuse me but not all with a conceal carry permit are idiots. Raised in Alaska hunting for my entire life. I can say I have pretty damn good aim, I've hit a moving predator with a kill shot from a...

  9. Disrespectful ad against nurses on Craigslist

    NurseNHowell replied to Trilldayz,RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Most restaurant jobs around me require CPR and basic response training so maybe 2 birds 1 stone? The nursing students will already have this. Also food service does use critical thinking since they...

  10. Weed and work.

    NurseNHowell replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I know that I test "dirty" and usually will opt out of a urine and request a blood test in the lab since I can give my prescriptions and it nullifies those that came back positive. Should clarify I...

  12. You are NOT allergic to...

    NurseNHowell replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    Well another poster said they just delete the ridiculous allergies so there is some who argue the legitimacy of some allergies. Mainly the nurses entering allergies that are not true allergies need...

  13. You are NOT allergic to...

    NurseNHowell replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    That is actually a legitimate allergy. It's aquagenic

  14. You are NOT allergic to...

    NurseNHowell replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    You should be careful randomly deleting allergies you feel are not legitimate. Mold is not a seasonal allergy and some you delete are true allergies whether you feel they are "good enough" or not. I...

  15. I'm a sexless nurse

    NurseNHowell replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    As a nurse and a female I will say that I have had a catheter placed on myself and I requested a female nurse to do it. I felt more comfortable with a female and if they had said they couldn't...

    NurseNHowell replied to leitha's topic in LPN to RN

    I am actually in Stanbridge's first ADN cohort and there are a few exWCU students who for whatever reason were not able to finish. They still have that $130k in student loans without anything to show...
