    Swastikas & Nursing | Refusing care based upon moral objection?

    Serhilda replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    You really just have to get over any disagreements you may have with a patient and continue your care for them. It's not the end of the world because you had a patient with differing beliefs of any...

    So TIRED OF IT

    Serhilda replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I had no idea how easy it'd become to spot a non-bedside nurse just by listening to their views on nursing. You have my sympathy, OP. I'll be moving on after my year of med-surg in no

    Since when is it okay to be late ?

    Serhilda replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Interesting. Based on my anecdotal evidence too, it's predominantly older nurses that are chronically late, feeling fully entitled to being tardy because they've "put in their time." But I'm smart...

    Hot Cheetos are a public health menace

    Serhilda replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Bad post OP. Near retiring anytime

    Where are the nursing discounts?

    Serhilda replied to mel2234's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I suppose I should be grateful for living in the area I do then. I've usually gotten lumped into the first responder discount (not by request...), or I've gotten a discount for the company I work for....

    Bringing in the Boys: How to Attract More Male Nurses

    Serhilda replied to Melissa Mills's topic in General Nursing

    The men commenting in this thread are exactly why I'm perfectly content with nursing being female dominated. Men's misogyny grows exhausting and misandry isn't a thing. No matter how many studies come...

    time from graduation to job offer

    Serhilda replied to midwifemae's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Most of my friends that graduated in May with their ADN now have a job here in August. They had job offers to work at davita back in July just after they passed nclex but declined to continue their...

    Older Student Nurse Treated Differently By Instructors

    Serhilda replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    "The younger generation is transparent about their learning needs, while some of the older generation value appearing competent over asking for help." Spot on. This is the environment to learn in, so...

    Unethical behavior on my first day of floor orientation

    Serhilda replied to TJMICHAEL's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    1 and 3 are somewhat common sadly, especially 1. As much as you, and most people, would like to change her bedside manner, that almost certainly won't happen. I wouldn't make a big fuss over any of...

    Malicious "pimping" in nursing / nurse practitioner school?

    Serhilda replied to RomaniGypsy's topic in General Nursing

    I never saw it happen in nursing school. Not once. Our director had no patience for bullying of any kind. Now that I've graduated, I'm actually friends with most of my professors on

    Keep going?

    Serhilda replied to jphill15's topic in General Nursing

    An English major may be your passion, but do remember you're unlikely to use that degree to get a job. If I were in your shoes, I would major in something with better job prospects and minor in...

    NCLEX June 2018

    Serhilda replied to sch19's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I also find out if I passed today, in about 9 hours. Initially after the exam, I walked out with a smile on my face feeling confident. I scored in the 99th percentile on predictor exams, it shut off...

    Where are newer nurses still having difficulty finding a job?

    Serhilda replied to klone's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As a previous poster mentioned, bigger cities in Texas may be somewhat difficult, especially for ADN nurses. Not impossible though. My nursing program was about 30 minutes outside of Houston and over...

    is this bullying?

    Serhilda replied to jennalou's topic in General Nursing

    There will always be people that dislike you for one reason or another, but the reason that gets back to you may not be the whole story. Maybe they've told this instructor they dislike you because...

    Cardiac Step Down: 6 week orientation for new grad

    Serhilda replied to ADNRN2016's topic in Cardiac

    I'll be working at a smaller, lower acuity hospital in cardiac IMU as a new grad. My orientation will be twice that, along with everyone else I know, so I'd be concerned as well. I would not hesitate...

    flirting at the workplace

    Serhilda replied to learning247's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry I have nothing of value to add, but thank you for giving me the phrase "treating me like a fart." A+ advice so far though. Don't be afraid to interrupt if need

    How do you deal with personal attacks at work?

    Serhilda replied to NewRN'16's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't imagine where the stereotype comes from that LPNs lack professionalism then cope with their inferiority complex with personal attacks. Truly a

    NCLEX and Uworld

    Serhilda replied to Sbar08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    We did use HESI. I scored a 1217/99.99%. Class average was a 960 or so. If it helps, my score on uworld is a bit over 70% right now too,

    NCLEX and Uworld

    Serhilda replied to Sbar08's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had the same question when I started studying for NCLEX. From what I saw here on allnurses, someone scoring above a 55-60% overall (not percentile) rarely failed NCLEX. Any lower and it was...

    So you're an RN - you must be earning big!

    Serhilda replied to _littlemissBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Like the previous posters mentioned, it's subjective so I don't get irritated at all. I'll make more than most of my friends and family members, so from their perspective, I'm doing

    New Grad RN with ADD - very difficult to manage multiple patients

    Serhilda replied to Lemon Bars's topic in General Nursing

    New grad here with ADHD. I'm not on any medications, never was in nursing school either. So far my plan is to write down as much as I can throughout my day (as the previous poster mentioned) and...

    Castlebanch drug testing facility

    Serhilda replied to beardeddragon123's topic in General Students

    You know, people come on here all the time asking the same question. It's fascinating how everyone is suddenly so concerned with modesty, ain't it? But seriously, if you're thinking of trying to pass...

    Need advice for my future

    Serhilda replied to TheDongTran's topic in General Students

    It's always interesting when students assume their poor GPA is more likely to be accepted by an ADN program. It's often times much more competitive because people want the cheaper tuition and faster...

    Failed anatomy...are there other options

    Serhilda replied to Jessa92's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I were you, I would hold off on taking more classes until I was older and had better work ethic. I had classmates in nursing school that had GPAs below a 2 when they were in their early 20s and...

    Help me pick a surgery to observe!!
