  1. Got chewed out by my clinical instructor

    Buyer beware replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Students

    "Horses Tail?" "Jack Shizz?" This sounds like it was written in the prison section of the

    Buyer beware replied to Enoch82's topic in General Students

    OP: Competitive is good, although in the past I was delusional enough to be skeptical. Any college that lets in just any riff-raff does the diligent students no favors. Although some may label me...

  3. What do you love about your job?

    Buyer beware replied to sergel02's topic in Public, Community Health

    OP: I In all deference to your marked joie de vivre regarding nursing, I must tell you that I find the words "love" and "job" found in the same sentence thread strangely incongruent. But since you...

  4. Giving report (just a little vent)

    Buyer beware replied to trauma_lama's topic in General Nursing

    OP; Your comments are eternally true. Reports should be succinct and cover only the salient highlights. Old news is only valid as it relates to future care in most instances. Very often what's deemed...

  5. AN Announcement

    Buyer beware replied to caliotter3's topic in General Nursing

    Conspiracy theories aside, never underestimate the plaintiff's attorneys' prerogative to generate billing hours. If rational minds would prevail, which they never do with money involved, this whole...

  6. College Nursing Programs

    Buyer beware replied to Tara227's topic in General Students

    Crappy schools are accredited by the so-called best nursing accreditors. Crappy schools have good NCLEX pass rates. So you have to look at a school's retention and graduation rates to really know if...

    Buyer beware replied to chunkalunk's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, yes. And after I take off the orthopedic brace from my back, I crank up Riverdance and practice my Irish step dancing till the wee

  8. Capital University

    Buyer beware replied to armymusic2013's topic in Ohio Nursing

    OP: Go to (collegescorecard.ed.gov) and look up. If the stats are right for you and your circumstances, consider it. But I will say that they are somewhat expensive. Your VA benefits are a leg up but...

  13. South University FNP-Oct 2016

    Buyer beware replied to sophBSN15's topic in School, College Programs

    OP: If you want to shill for this school go right ahead. Your statements that you have researched this school are apparently not based in fact or reality. South University has a long well documented...

  14. Medicare fraud

    Buyer beware replied to Magnoliaflowers's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Lots of weird here. 1. A person with a UTI alone doesn't sound like they would meet criteria to be admitted to an LTAC. 2. U/A comes back normal. So no UTI. Why keep her there for 25 days? (I know...

    Yes, Yes, Yes....Tikkum

  17. Scope of practice

    Buyer beware replied to sroseo's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    This response borders on the brush-off. Instead, the definitive answer should have been to read your state "Nurse Practice Act." These brilliant documents are beyond the gray area of the usual...

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

  20. Ameritech Grads

    Buyer beware replied to icecreamdreams's topic in General Nursing

    This is most likely the most tepid recommendation I have seen yet for a school of nursing. OP: It was founded in 2006, has an astronomical price tag and no regional accreditation So sign me the hey...

  21. Should I even be considering nursing? (Asperger's)

    Buyer beware replied to RustyS's topic in Nursing Career

    OP: Have to say I like the "y'all" part. Many of the previous posters have suggested to find areas in any field that you can focus on and then become an absolute expert in that field. A very,very...

  22. Unsure about school?

    Buyer beware replied to Tanisha123's topic in Nursing Career

    Whatever you do, no for-profit schools. These predators eat your demographic alive, will rob you blind and then laugh saying it was all your fault you should have done your homework. It starts with...

  23. Hard Truth of Nursing

    Buyer beware replied to Mr.Bill RN, BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Yes Marisette, you are right. The shame of it is that in Florida I just read that 81% of the state's population earns $40,000 or less per year. This puts nurses in the top 19% of wage earners. So...

    Buyer beware replied to mmaku2020's topic in General Nursing

    Take it slow and easy, deep breath. Get a job first, any kind of job. You need to first salvage your comedown from the LOW. Talk to your wife, see if she's willing to do the same. Do you have support...
