1. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

   Yin Yang replied to Brian's topic in COVID

   lamazeteacher- that seems pretty ridiculous. Likening a mandatory flu vaccine to mandatory seatbelt laws is laughable at best. A requirement to wear a mask is closer to having to wear a seatbelt. As far as taking the vaccine goes, I'll take my ch...

2. Clock OUT and IN for lunch in a NICU???

   Yin Yang replied to Jerico's topic in Activism

   You must be at an HCA facility...lol. Ours just started that too, and it is ridiculous. I work nights, so we have to be extra careful, because if you take your mandatory lunch less than 4 hours after you start working, you lose your shift different...

3. El Centro 2nd Semester Drug List

   Yin Yang replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas

   Hey there - I was pretty organized, especially by the end of it. 1st semester is fundamentals - really pretty boring - just get through it. The syllabus is a good place to start if you want to get a jump on stuff. Make a list of drugs from it and ...

   Let me know if there is anything else you need - I saved pretty much everything from every semester. Yang

5. El Centro 2nd Semester Drug List

   Yin Yang replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas

   Actually, I do - I'll try and attach it here. I'm not sure if it's a partial or complete, but if you go to the community tabs on e-campus, & go to the 2nd semester syllabus, the complete should be there. This has all the info though. Hope it h...

6. Management of violent Patient's in ED ?

   Yin Yang replied to fawnsternurse's topic in Emergency

   He doesn't threaten them. We have patients that are truly out of control, detoxing, etc. They do get violent, try to enter other patients room, screaming, and sometimes restraints are not sufficient to control them and still keep them from hurting...

7. El Centro RN fall 2009

   Yin Yang replied to mom35's topic in Texas

   Having completed El Centro, I can tell you it is a fact that they are hard on you, and they seem very uncaring about whether the changes they make put you out or not. But, you can do it if you have the right mindset. Where did you take your A &...

8. El Centro Orientation Today

   Yin Yang replied to mom35's topic in Texas

   Ms Beecham is a really intelligent lady - she is tough though. She will find your weakness and beat it out of you. She can be verbally harsh, but just accept it and don't make the same mistake twice. If you allow yourself to learn from her, you wi...

   Spill - how is it going for you? Somehow I didn't get the notice when you and jaxia posted in feb & april - but you did get a job! Are there still some from your class that don't have one? I'm VERY grateful that we graduated when we did....I l...

10. Management of violent Patient's in ED ?

    Yin Yang replied to fawnsternurse's topic in Emergency

    We have one doc that will go so far as to intubate them if they present a danger to staff or themselves....we try to warn the patient when he's on that they better straighten up...lol

12. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Yin Yang replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I just finished nursing school, and it was never a big deal. We all were pretty open about it. Everyone wanted reassurance. I haven't ready any stories about negative outcomes of sharing grades. I very often had the highest grade in the class, an...

13. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's that the current proficiency exams place the minimum bar too low. Maybe it needs to be raised some so that a higher level of proficiency and COMMUNICATION is required to pass it. Just a thought... Yang

    I know - it's crazy to think about, but I'm excited! I do the PBDS tomorrow - we already took the BKAT-ER. Lots of stuff! Yang

15. Crocs Specialist - experiences?

    Yin Yang replied to MiaLyse's topic in Uniform/Gear

    We have a Croc's outlet in town (Allen, TX), so I went there. You can also get them online too though. You print out this foot print thing...but I'd still go try a pair on for size because they fit so differently... Yang
