    ProperlySeasoned replied to Nurse Beth's topic in Career Advice Column

    ProperlySeasoned replied to Faith2018's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Some people graduate nursing school, and then, for whatever reason, do not test for years. It sounds like you have tested repeatedly. At this point, since it has been so long, and you have struggled...

  11. Dream Job

    ProperlySeasoned replied to beekee's topic in General Nursing

    I believe the "dream job," changes as we change and move through our life stages. What the dream looked like right out of school, when I was 22, is very different than where I am now as a mid career...

  15. Need somebody advice!

    ProperlySeasoned replied to pumpkinbaby's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would spend some time some introspective work into why your high school grades were low, and what you will do in the future to raise them. The classes you take at community college, will likely be...

  16. Anybody have rituals they do when a patient passes?

    ProperlySeasoned replied to crnfaIwillbe's topic in General Nursing

  21. Bizarre Co-Worker Rant!

    ProperlySeasoned replied to All4NursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    OP, are you in the US? I have never heard of calling nurses Mr, Ms etc. If US, it must be highly regional. Also, if that is a semi-formal unit culture, I hate to see a formal one! Top hats and...
