  1. Nurses in many cases bullies who love clicks at any age

    Buyer beware replied to RNLASVEGAS's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have worked in non-dysfuctional venues and I have worked in malignant venues and considering that women comprise 95% of all extant nurses I think it would at least be partially reasonable to believe...

  2. Gave up, want to try again

    Buyer beware replied to AmyBeloved's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    OP, I feel the same way about the possibility of losing when I play chess. It's an irrational fear that makes me shun the game. But even though it's irrational, it's still real in the sense that it...

  3. RN education advice

    Buyer beware replied to ILNurse2b's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Adelphi BSN program?

    Buyer beware replied to ktdee's topic in New York Nursing

    Ktee, You are correct asking questions but some are more pertinent to what you need to know than others. Anecdotal information about any school except the for-profits must be taken with a grain of...

  5. Ethical Dilemma: What to do when I see a client outside of professional role?

    Buyer beware replied to krg539's topic in General Students

    Horseshoe, You are right about the apostrophe. Right about the common sense issue when it comes to schlorship. (although the turn of phrase was humorous) But somehow your remonstrations bring out the...

  6. Haters gonna HATE! 100% We've all been there.

    Buyer beware replied to ARose11's topic in General Nursing

  7. Job seeking in FL

    Buyer beware replied to chinotto_21's topic in Florida Nursing

  8. Mid America Nazarene University

    Buyer beware replied to warthawg's topic in School, College Programs

  9. Frustration with a Provider

    Buyer beware replied to applesxoranges's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think you have pinpointed the problem here. The fail-safes are either not in place or the ones that are, failed. You could alert the chain to the situation. If they react to this glitch, or don't...

  10. Difficulty Re-entering nursing field

    Buyer beware replied to Karen3500's topic in General Nursing

    SBE, you got it! This is one of the many topics (nursing shortage) that as the great Joni Mitchell defined as going round and round and round in the "Circle Game.'' The other topic is that for-profit...

  13. Where to obtain BSN coming from Rasmussen?

    Buyer beware replied to MnRNhopeful's topic in General Students

    Actually the Rasmussen bevy of for-profit, corporate owned schools are probably the best of he worst. This dubious distinction is based mostly on the fact that they don't charge super outrageous...

  15. Medical Quackery: Let's talk.

    Buyer beware replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Nursing News

    Medical quackery, charlatanism and snake oil salesmen have all played a tremendous or horrendous part in deceiving people all over the world. The purveyors of this stuff always play upon gullibilty...

  16. Schools misrepresenting clinical site locations

    Buyer beware replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    OP: Look at things in perspective. You are going to graduate with a BSN. You already have a leg up on the other students because you are a LPN. You are doing well. The clinical is horse pooh. This...

  17. HIV/AIDS Nurse

    Buyer beware replied to greatgiginthesky's topic in General Nursing

  18. Need advice............

    Buyer beware replied to micstn's topic in General Nursing

    OP: I totally get it. You're fourty something. What I think I'm hearing is that because you're a little older you may have misgivings that the beebops might decide to treat you like they treat their...

  19. Failed out of nursing school. Do I have a fair chance of getting into another?

    Buyer beware replied to Keisha2017's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So let me guess. You spoke to the good people at say South University? The dead give away was the "3Xs the amount you were paying at the other school" line. At this point I would run for the hills...

  20. How to handle being belittled by superior?

    Buyer beware replied to 2bNurse-88's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  21. Clinical Judgement Call...Not sure if I did the right thing

    Buyer beware replied to AvaRose's topic in General Nursing

    OP: ( the first off the cuff wise guy responce I thought of was to just ask the administrators where they got their medical licenses) But seriously folks I'm gonna pile on here with the rest of the...

  22. Colleagues who hate patients

    Buyer beware replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes, OP I get what you are saying. The triage nurses act this way because they are just plain sick of the usual "walking wounded" run of the mill, self abusers, who bring all this misery for one...

  23. Online masters vs. university dnp?

    Buyer beware replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    The brick and mortar route does not guarantee definitive access, signed on the dotted line, entre to preceptors. Some NP schools do provide, but most NP schools don't. The preceptor issue has to be...

    Buyer beware replied to Eyeballer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP: Don't delude yourself to think that any RN-BSN program is going to let you do this as the wise guys in N.Y. say "one, two, six." All programs, especially the for-profit Chamberlain, will "fluff"...
