1. Its True about Nurses and Tickets

   ScooterNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

   I'd been reading on here about nurses feeling that they may be less likely to be ticketed if the officer knew they were a nurse. I've never experienced that myself but I've never mentioned my occupation when I was pulled over. Think I've still ha...

2. The Cap.......

   ScooterNurse replied to Justhere's topic in General Nursing

   I work with a nurse that to this day wears a cap, tho it is not required. Her rationale is...everyone here wears scrubs (public health) the WIC staff, the cleaning staff, adm, everyone. No one who comes in for services can tell who the nursing staf...

5. Immunizations for CNA's?

   ScooterNurse replied to ubergoober's topic in CNA/MA

   Typically what need is a TD, MMR and the Hep B series. The hep B is a series of 3, but you don't have to have all three done before you start. You can get the first one and are considered "up to date" until the second one is due, which is one month...

8. Becoming a Community Health Nurse

   ScooterNurse replied to JaneanneRN's topic in Public/Community

   I am a Community Health Nurse, have been for the last 10 years. I have an ADN, there is no BSN requirement for public health, at least not in my state. Public Health is changing alot, I recently made the decision to return to acute care related to ...

9. Relocating

   ScooterNurse replied to FazRN's topic in Arizona

   I honestly don't know what new grads are getting, but I'd have to think it would be better than 25 an hour. I know of one new grad here who is making just about three dollars an hour less than me, and again, public health makes much less than acute ...

10. Relocating

    ScooterNurse replied to FazRN's topic in Arizona

    Hello! I'm an RN living in Queen Creek! The salary quoted was way low. I work for public health and make 34 an hour. Hospital nurses would make considerably more I imagine. Why would you want to work all the way out in Phoenix? Banner Desert, m...

11. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    ScooterNurse replied to emmycRN's topic in Headlines

    Sounds to me like Mr. Beck was being a bit of a drama queen and expecting special treatment at the ER. We don't have the "big nurse's" side of the story, but my guess would be that his assessment of the patient and the way the patient was acting wer...

12. Flu after Immunization????

    ScooterNurse replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    If you get sick after getting your flu shot you were most likely already incubating something, the shot cannot give you the flu. Also like another poster said, the flu shot doesn't offer protection against every flu out there, but it does offer pro...

13. Work and Full Time School??? YIKES

    ScooterNurse replied to Toots71506's topic in General Nursing

    I went to nursing school when I was 32. I was going thru a divorce and needed a way to support my family. I LOVED nursing school, but those were hard years. I had a 2,6,8 and 11 year old at home. They loved to help me "practice". They'd lay in ...

15. Why dont YOU wear a helmet??

    ScooterNurse replied to Crux1024's topic in General Nursing

    I ride a little Vespa and even tho its only a scooter, I wouldn't dream of riding without my helmet. I initially had the little 3/4 helmet that Vespa makes, but my son talked me into the full face kind. He's an EMT/firefighter and says he's seen hi...
