  1. Grievance With College & Tactfulness...

    ED Nurse, RN replied to PrnAdnST's topic in General Students

    Agree with everything stated. I know a lot of programs don't allow two failures- especially with core classes. There are no grievances to file, in my opinion. If you have failed two classes I think...

  2. Navy nursing abroad?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Rlockwood13's topic in Government, Military

    This is a very broad question bc the answer is dependent upon so many factors. Head to the government/military nursing board and read through some of those posts. At at the minimum though you need...

  3. DVTs and PEs

    ED Nurse, RN replied to kaitef07's topic in General Nursing

    You also have to factor in severity of the DVT or PE- some people with, for example, a saddle emboli are too sick to get up; these are the most likely to cause death. Like OP stated, it's also...

  4. Totally Disapointed

    ED Nurse, RN replied to OSUFan1's topic in Rehabilitation

    I've said it before, I'll say it again- attitude is everything and what you make of a situation is directly correlated to what you gain from said situation. Make the best of the situation until...

  5. Will take NCLEX tomorrow December 30, 2015 (1st) and feel very, very, very unprepared!

    ED Nurse, RN replied to PinoyRN89's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    The secret to passing- STUDY! I am assuming, excuse me for doing so if I'm wrong, that English is a second language for you, so I'm sure that makes it more difficult for you. For two weeks before I...

  6. What is a research paper

    ED Nurse, RN replied to soon2bnurse5's topic in General Students

    A research paper is just that, a research paper. You are generally given a topic to write about or you select a topic based on parameters set forth by the instructor. It takes time to research,...

  7. OR nursing in AF/Army

    ED Nurse, RN replied to MindiRN724's topic in Government, Military

    If you are joining the military to get out of debt it won't happen- unless ROTC the military will not pay your loans. I received a $30,000 loan repayment that added 3 yrs onto my commitment- that's...

  8. Air Force Nurse Pay

    ED Nurse, RN replied to UTstudent's topic in Government, Military

    I was a direct commission after nursing school- meaning no ROTC; however, if I did it over again I would do ROTC bc that pays for your undergrad degree. The loan repayment with direct commission was...

  9. Is there any tuition assistance for nursing students who want to be in the Air Force.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Blue Robin's topic in Government, Military

    When I joined they offered a $30,000 loan repayment; I do not believe they are still doing this. They do not do tuition assistance, that is only for active duty members and you owe them time....

  10. Any Nurses:Army, Navy or Air Force

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Blue Robin's topic in Government, Military

    Great advice! Prior AF nurse for six years- can't stress the importance of its not what you can get out of the military, but what they can get out of you. With that being said however, the...

  11. Air Force COT May 2016

    ED Nurse, RN replied to linds28's topic in Government, Military

    Hey everyone- I just recently separated from the AF after six years. Was a Capt and did med Surg, deployed, and then spent almost 5 years in the ED. Feel free to ask

  12. hiring older nurses

    ED Nurse, RN replied to KThurmond's topic in General Nursing

    I personally would hire an older nurse- different work ethics. For me it's not about the age of applicant, but how they handle and mesh within the

  13. What to do?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Career

    I have in no way been nasty- no cursing, no name calling. You jumped down OP's throat while he asked a simple question. You have no idea what it is like to work in an ED, again giving an opinion...

  14. What to do?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't like the way you speak to people here. You also speak without full knowledge of subject matter. Anyone can go back to your previous posts and take note of your rudeness to others who don't...

  15. What to do?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Career

    But it never hurts to ask! Always good to have extra staff in the wings- and you never know, OP could work a great schedule in his PRN job or work with such great people he wants to go full time. It...

  16. Patient Nurse Ratio

    ED Nurse, RN replied to ambobam's topic in General Nursing

    The current models that are used to determine number of staff/fte's do not factor in acuity, which is very hard to do. Until units sit down with the data and convince hospital administration that...

  17. What to do?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Career

    Again, you are a brand new nurse and cannot speak to what a manager wants or hires- try to stay in your lane when giving advice. As far as stirring the pot, you do that quite well as evidenced by...

  18. What to do?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Ruger8mm's topic in Nursing Career

    I did not find anything insulting about his question, it is a legitimate question. Princess bride if I'm not mistaken, you are a new grad- so I'm not sure where all your experience is coming from to...

  19. Clinical sites

    ED Nurse, RN replied to Pdavis's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    It's not the clinical site you need to worry about, it's licensure. Most states will not give licensure, RN, NP, etc, with a felony- in addition to 3 DUI's. All these things represent poor judgement...

  20. Military nurse

    ED Nurse, RN replied to michaelaellie's topic in Government, Military

    Was your husband a health professionals recruiter? That is very different than just a regular recruiting station- I just got out of the Air Force and like I previously stated, she will have a...

  21. I felt unsafe working

    ED Nurse, RN replied to yooniehime's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry, I can't answer or offer advice bc I'm having a very hard time understanding what you wrote. Basically, from what it seems, you are unhappy with your orientation? What does the policy...

  22. APPLY CA-NCLEX without SSN nor ITIN?

    ED Nurse, RN replied to roxaneyu's topic in Nurse Registration

    How will you get a job with no ssn? I highly doubt you can take the NCLEX in any state without your ssn or an exemption- sorry but that seems pretty

  23. Straight out of highschool vs doing one year of prereqs

    ED Nurse, RN replied to nataliared's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    I don't know of any 3 year fast paced courses? I mean I've been out of school for awhile so I don't know what's out there now. I went to college right out of HS for my BSN- if that is your end goal...

  24. How to gain more confidence.

    ED Nurse, RN replied to nlw1997's topic in General Nursing

    Asking questions is ok; however, you should be really asking less and less questions as you progress in your career. You have been a nurse for three years and in critical care for over a year- it...

  25. Struggle

    ED Nurse, RN replied to SarahJane93's topic in Nursing Career

    Dosing calculations and IV's are a pretty basic skill for an RN; if you don't want to do them then nursing may not be for you. However, they are also skills that get easier with time. It sounds like...
