1. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

   JohnOnOahu replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

   Hi...not yet an RN, but as a former flight attendant I can shed a little light on the subject. All airlines in the US are required to carry a certain amount of medical equipment. These include a First Aid Kit (FAK), AED and an "Emergency Medical Kit ...

   JohnOnOahu replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

   Hi Friends! Lots happening on the board, LOL! I must have missed a post from Newt...I see lots of references to a post about a theory he had, but cannot find the original theory. (I am using my iPhone to read/post, so maybe that's why.) In any case, ...

   JohnOnOahu replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

   Howdy All! Bad news on my end...I had a job offer a few weeks ago and I've been holding them off waiting to see if I at least got an interview. Unfortunately, today is the drop-dead date for the offer and its just too much of a risk to not take it on...

   Ask and ye shall receive: http://www.cresourcei.org/cy12days.html Check out the 5th paragraph specifically. Having said that...I think the 5 Gold rings are probably much more valuable than 7 swans and since we're probably going to be poor grad studen...

   JohnOnOahu replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

   You're right on with this statement, Newtonian! I think everyone here has already demonstrated themselves to be totally awesome people and I hope that nobody puts too much of their self-worth on the chopping block based solely upon being accepted by ...

   Well, see, I dunno...I think the t-shirt might be a pretty good idea or, at the very least, a button with flashing lights that carries the same message. LOL As a gay man I think the best way of handling any unwanted advances from a guy is to do it th...

7. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

   JohnOnOahu replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

   I don't think my concern is with individuals members of the admissions department...the one question I asked via phone was answered politely and quickly. My concerns have more to do with some of the policies: -No ability to talk to current students ...

   As a bit of a distraction I thought I'd post the link to a blog for a fairly new FNP who is already in practice...its hilarious! (Or at least I think so) http://newfnp.blogspot.com/2007/12/saga-continues.html

9. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

   JohnOnOahu replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

   :monkeydance: You're exactly right on this point and in UCSF's defense, they aren't the only nursing program whose admissions process seems a little "snobby." In a national environment where there are so many more applicants than there are available ...

10. Any UCSF Mepn Applicants?

    JohnOnOahu replied to Louise409's topic in Post Graduate

    I am willing to bet that its not going to be a week or two...but its probably a generically canned response to try and prevent repeat callers. (I know more than a few people who would probably call every single day; especially if they'd been told it ...

    I thought about saying something about ending hunger and finding a cure for the common cold...but I didn't want to sound patronizing.

    I was wondering if that'd get a reaction outta ya!

14. Valet Parking

    JohnOnOahu replied to Roseyposey's topic in General Nursing

    The sad fact is that without some level of quality ranking how are patients supposed to decide on what facility to go to? Take for instance a hospital I frequently work with in NYC...its a medium sized facility and not easy to get to. Although they'...
