    NCLEX exam without going to nursing school?

    Wuzzie replied to Mora101's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    And the original question was whether being able to take the NCLEX without actually going to nursing school is possible. You went to nursing school so I'm unclear as to why you used your matriculation...

    What do you say when a patient family member is taking out their rage out on the world on to you? 

    Wuzzie replied to BeatsPerMinute's topic in General Nursing

    You're a better person than I am. I spent my childhood and a good part of my adult life being the emotional and physical punching bag for people who were unable to keep a handle on their emotions and...

    What are the things that make you want to leave nursing?

    Wuzzie replied to Red Shirt 6's topic in General Nursing

    Being so short staffed nobody can take vacation and getting an email saying I'm over my vacation accrual allowance so I'm being forced to forfeit 52 hours of it. Yep, not getting it paid out, not...

    Wuzzie replied to Jess05's topic in General Nursing

    Salem sump tubes are used for gastric decompression and should not be used for anything else except in very rare occasions (contrast dye in the case of patient intolerance comes to mind but that would...

    Has anyone slept through phone calls while on-call?

    Wuzzie replied to SilverBells's topic in General Nursing

    After reading your posts over the past couple of years I can think of at least 6 reasons she's likely performing at a higher level than you and none of it has to do with needing less sleep. Honestly,...

    Phasing Out ADN?

    Wuzzie replied to Candi Williams's topic in General Nursing

    I've been saying this all along. It's become a big business and it seems it doesn't matter if it's a university or an on-line course. Certifications in specialties would seem to be a better option for...

    Wuzzie replied to MDelainy's topic in General Nursing

    If it's not a good fit for you then it's not a good fit but you need to know that a nursing job in an adequately staffed unit is a bit of a unicorn and has been for quite a while. I currently work in...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    I'm afraid all you'll get is crickets. I've asked every poster supporting RV getting her license back if they'd be okay with her taking care of one of their love ones and nobody has answered that...

    Should RaDonda Vaught Have Her Nursing License Reinstated?

    Wuzzie replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    No she wasn't any kind of float. Her unit was overstaffed for the day so she was acting as a resource or "help all" nurse providing assistance on her own unit to her fellow staff members. She was...
