  1. Loyola bsn - dnp online format

    I have also been accepted to Loyola New Orlean's BSN-DNP program. See you all in New Orleans April 30th :). What is the name of the fb group?
  2. Anyone worked on a reservation before?

    Depends on the tribe you're interested in working with. Big difference between say Cherokees of Oklahoma & Navajos out in Chinle or Lakotas in PineRidge. You're indigenous too you won't have a problem if you're a Pacific Islander..(I'm kinda jo...
  3. Am I crazy, because this seems VERY WRONG...

    Did it occur to you that its the site who sets the rules for rotation and not the fact that your instructor has been "only licensed for three years?" Do you honestly believe that if they had 30 years of experience that you would be allowed to do more...
  4. What is wrong with people ?

    The OP didn't actually put any of that stuff in her objective or on her resume. The sarcastic jackwagon that was supposed to be analyzing her original resume re-wrote it & told the OP thats what her resume needed to say.
  5. What is fecal texture?

    You're:up:
  6. NCLEX results= FAIL :(

    I'm sorry I know you're disappointed. Now review what you are weak in, get your nerves under control and get back out there and do your thing. The next post from you will say "I PASSED" We'll see you in about 50 days, time for you to take a 2 day br...
  7. Suicidal man at nurses' station

    Wrong I always assume my life is in danger when caring for any pt with the exception of a NICU pt & with them I wouldn't put it past an upset,overwrought parent to take someone's life. Reality is I don't know what anyone has going on in their hea...
  8. language barrier- weird situation

    I work in an area where people speak every imaginable language but English. I understand what you are saying as far as practicing English but that is really a political opinion and its fine & dandy if they're out socializing. I would prefer my p...
  9. Should I stop to help?

    As an addendum don't stop in good areas of town either, call 911 for them too. I grew up in the hood & trust me when I tell ya I've always noticed people in nice areas gets lulled into a false sense of security. If I was a thief or axe murderer ...
  10. smoking clients

    I don't think your supervisor misunderstood anything, she sounds obnoxious but tomorrow is another day. More like a powertrip. I think she needs to let the power tripping go before you end up the next rapid response code in the facility. I don't thin...
  11. silly question...please be kind :-)

    Excellent question and glad you asked. The other nurses already answered the census question. You and your class will also be affected by a low census. If the census drops hospital wide the hospitals will send clinical groups home, then start sendin...
  12. Patients should ALL be swabbed tested for HIV

    I don't think the OP is a nurse or in the medical field at all. I might be wrong but I thought the OP was the mother of a nursing student. If so I think the question was posed out of concern for her child going into the field not out of any type of ...
  13. why the lack of baths

    Trek, I sent a message to you privately. Hopefully you will be able to access it. Esme I agree with you on MANY points. Our field is going downhill fast for many reasons. I am not sure how we can go about fixing this broken system we're in.
  14. why the lack of baths

    Oh shift wars between days and night are easily started with nurses, techs, and mds. No way is any of that related to anything you said. I did agree though that you should not have been left to get to the sink by yourself especially with that hx of...
  15. why the lack of baths

    your blood pressue was checked every hour? well then you must have been more unstable physically then you are aware of. As for low BP if you were my patient and your BP was dropping below your normal baseline of low BP you better believe I would be w...
