    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    good news for your daughter she has you! in your case though at least you did learn what was where at 15. Not fully grown and still no idea what any of it is, like some of these posts tell us. How...

    "Nurse" arrested for using stolen license

    Extra Pickles replied to NurseQT's topic in Nursing News

    every place I've worked has had a drug dosage calculation test or medication test of some sort as part of the hiring deal. One place gave it to me the day I interviewed, if I didn't get the answers...

    third world countries, that I totally get. A medical student from this country, though?? Still shocked at the ignorance, and how it's possible in this country to have a person in a graduate degree...

    Demonizing educational materials is how we wind up with these ignorant people in the first place. Maybe the people running these seminars would prefer to discuss HooHoos and Coochies

    I can understand that she wasn't educated enough to know the clinical term for parts of anatomy but I hope at least she understood that the opening providing the urine sample wasn't the same opening...

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    They don't even have to look, no mirror required, the boys in school learn the same as the girls in school from pictures in textbooks and posters in class. I do dearly hope they aren't learning...

    and yet these were women who were enrolled in college somewhere so how the heck did they get out of high school without this most fundamental knowledge? I can't wrap my head around

    awful just awful! as long as there are crappy parents there are going to be problem children, who will likely then grow into crappy parents who have problem children, and on and on until forever....

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    Honesty? Are these women educated at all? I don't mean to be rude I'm just flabbergasted that any female who has been through the sixth grade wouldn't know this. My kids learned the basics of human...

    What % of women don't know basics of female anatomy?

    Extra Pickles replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think I'm shocked that she was shocked. I've never described the female anatomy as having a "pee hold and baby hole" and that itself is a bit shocking to me to find you have to say that to an adult...

    would you take a job with a mean doctor?

    Extra Pickles replied to mmccool719's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No. This physician can make your life a living hell should she choose and it sounds like she has no issue with choosing that option. Doesn't matter what the pay and benefits are if you work for a...

    RT says her scope is wider than mine. Ok?

    Extra Pickles replied to CardiacDork's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    maybe the RT's anger has to do with something else. Not long ago I remember hearing about how RTs came into being as a way of taking some of the workload off of RNs, when there was a shortage back in...

    Nursing Schools

    Extra Pickles replied to latisha2020's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know the Orlando area but I was curious so I did some looking and in five minutes I can see there is no comparison between Herzing and Valencia. Herzing is a for-profit school that will cost...

    Required to stay at hospital with no pay

    Extra Pickles replied to Brdnfrd's topic in General Nursing

    Does your facility policy include mandated shift coverage? If you have a mandation policy that requires you to stay to cover an additional shift for someone who doesn't show then you would have to...

    Question from a friend about completing program

    Extra Pickles replied to WeatherB's topic in General Nursing

    is his school a very expensive, for-profit one? if yes, that will stop him dead in the water with transferring credits, it won't happen. If no, it's a regular school with average costs, what is his...

    RT says her scope is wider than mine. Ok?

    Extra Pickles replied to CardiacDork's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Her scope of practice is different, which is all that matters. not worth an argument as there is no point. If she wants to believe that everything you do is included in what she does, then so be it....

    Question from a friend about completing program

    Extra Pickles replied to WeatherB's topic in General Nursing

    What is it that you think can be done? NO nursing program is going to take all of his credits and move in him to complete the last two core nursing courses to graduate. Programs have differences in...

    Is flipping a coin a "fair" way to decide who stays when there is a call-in?

    Extra Pickles replied to purplegal's topic in General Nursing

    If mandation is a possibility then you should know which of you worked a mandated shift more recently than the other. If one of you is already on a double then obviously the one doing the double is...

    You can't be held as a prisoner against your will. That's it. If it's like Rose Queen suggested and you were told you can't call out for the next shift no matter what and they were offering you a...

    Nursing GPA

    Extra Pickles replied to sm818's topic in General Students

    sorry future nurse, your info isn't all that good! many many CC nursing programs will not admit a student with less than a 3.8, even higher sometimes because of the competition for a spot. There are...

    Extra Pickles replied to SEJUP23's topic in General Students

    if you mean reapply I think you'd get a better answer from the admission department than the message board, especially if you want the info to be accurate and current. Make an appointment to talk to...

    Extra Pickles replied to nursingRN123's topic in General Students

    when it comes to the NCLEX we don't know if these students will do well or not. If they get questions right on the exam because they knew which questions would be asked but did not learn why, then...
