    Is leaving before hurricane abandonment?

    Well goody for you. I'm from the NE, so I'm not even going to pretend what it must feel like to be in the evacuation zone, Florida, or anywhere in the SE for that matter. But I thought being a nurse...

    Real shortage of nurses or bogus?

    I actually say this with sincerity: hot mess aside, your posts are concerning with your persistent paranoia and delusions, not to mention that half truths or downright lies that you have portrayed of...

    Real shortage of nurses or bogus?

    Snap. Lets start again, OP. Looks like your dishonesty has been checked. From this angle, it's looking like someone failed out of GWU and is bitter about the experience, blaming the school and...

    Real shortage of nurses or bogus?

    Err, huh? "No person in their right mind would defend nursing schools" - I have no clue what you're even trying to say here. Yeah. My conclusion: due to you never answering the basic questions "are...

    Lousy Professor or lousy student?

    No no no ... I get paid by BIG PHARMA. (Don't

    Lousy Professor or lousy student?

    I think instead of a stethoscope, you need a tin foil hat. Why is everything such a conspiracy with you? From reading your other posts on this forum, and your inability to answer basic questions...

    I failed my adult health test can I appeal

    My first impulse was to laugh when I read this; I thought it was a joke. What a sense of entitlement... and such horrific

    Failed NCLEX 11 times.

    This post is chilling. Six months in as a new grad, and there are some tasks that my techs can do so much more efficiently than I -- mostly because they have been practicing much longer. I learn...

    Nursing, Hurricanes, and Floods.

    No experience here (just snowstorms), but sending you well wishes for both you and your mom (worrying about mom must be a little overwhelming ... on top of your job). Keep safe

    Why do We eat our young?

    Looks like the OP joined in 2005? Plenty of time to acknowledge the many, many, many NETY/bullying threads on AN. On this end of the thread, it simply looks like the OP posted to get a rise. PP's...

    Why do We eat our young?

    Oh, goodness gracious. The topic of NETY not only gets dredged up every few weeks (sometimes even multiple times within a week), it is so often used as a scare tactic that new grads like myself are...
  13. ^^ This. In fact, say only GOOD THINGS about LTC for the love of all that's holy. The ratios, your interactions with patients, everything that sets you apart as a LTC nurse. My unit just hired a...

    Why do We eat our young?

    So, new nurses ... we just need to be careful and stay away from THAT GUY . Easy

    Why do We eat our young?

    As a new nurse, I haven't been munched on yet. And I work evening shift ... dinner time

    I am over IT

    The pp's stated it well. I think I was more stressed out in nursing school. It's a different kind of stress now. The "oh gosh I hope I don't kill you" kind of stress, lol. I go home and read up on...

    Make It STOP!

    Oh! "Should I go to (insert specific college nursing program here)?" ... well, I don't know, should you? I live 5000 miles away from that state, you tell

    Make It STOP!

    "ICU/ED/NICU/Flight nursing are the most coolest/beatest/glamorous nursing specialities ... whyyyy would anyone want to do med surg/psych/rehab/school nursing? That's not TRUE nursing." ENOUGH...
  20. Yep. Taking a look at the OPs job experience (and nifty title change), I'm tending to agree with
  21. Nah, OP. You're just hoping to cause a stir, not betting. But I have to giggle at "glamorous." I wonder if my hair is well-oiled

    any advice and hugs would be lovely, please!

    Awww, (((hugs))). Don't lose that confidence. Easier said than done, I know. But not providing you classroom experience first and throwing you on the floor isn't cool (with different nurses, a poor...

    All Hail ICU Nurses

    A lot of thoughts just went through my head, none of which were pleasant (as I pause getting dressed for work, knowing we are short and I'll have 6 patients again ...) Then I saw who the OP was. This...

    Really want to get out of nursing...
