  1. Hand Sanitizer and Asthma

    It doesn't get to me as bad as it does you, but hand sanitizer bothers me as well. I would actually prefer to go back to the good ol soap and water. I think hand sanitizer is over-used and not as great as what people seem to think. I have a horrib...
  2. Need advice choosing where to take RN pre-requ. courses OKC Area

    Seminole and Midwest City are pretty comparable in travel time from Shawnee. I attended Seminole for quite some time until I ran out of things I could take. I'm a single mom who was working full time so evenings/online were all I could take. Rose...

  4. letter to potential ER employer...please read and critique! Thanks

    Maybe so, but, as I said, that is how I was taught. Spell everything out, especially in a professional letter.
  5. worst death you've seen

    That is so sad But warming at the same time, that their love was that strong!
  6. letter to potential ER employer...please read and critique! Thanks

    i would leave out abbreviations, such as pals and acls... sure we all know what they mean, but as far as what i was taught, when writing professional letters or resumes you should spell it out and not abbreviate. "if there is anybody else that coul...
  7. worst death you've seen

    I think sometimes nurses do need to get this type of thing out. We are human and we have emotions. Most outsiders would not understand, so I think this thread is good for those who have experienced something horrible and just need an outlet. I have...
  8. anyone work in a primary care clinic before?

    While I agree with some of what you are saying, I do not agree with parts. I have worked in primary care since graduating from LPN (not RN) school 8 years ago. I have done everything from internal medicine to pediatrics to Urgent Care and now work ...
  9. RN and a Mother!

    Thanks so much! My daughter was 1 when I went through LPN school, and now she is 10 and my son is 4 as I am starting RN school. I hate missing things with them. My daughter always gets upset because I cannot make her school parties and such. I am ...
  10. If you are an RN and have kids...

    I live just east of Oklahoma City but have fallen in love with Denton, TX just outside of Dallas. I don't know why, but I love that town. I have to stay there anytime I am in that area. Thats a possible move for me once school is out, I haven't re...
  11. This may be a silly question, but I need advice...

    Have you tried G-2 in fine point? I love those pens. Usually go for the bold tipped ones, but when writing in small spaces the fine tipped work great and it is a nice bright black, not that dull gray/black color you get from some pens. I don't reall...
  12. Standing orders (Please explain)

    Agree with Otessa and elkpark. Anytime I go from standing orders, I also chart such and such per standing order Dr so and so... I would never document telephone order if I did not telephone the Dr. Thats what standing orders are for, so that you can ...
  13. Advice needed (sorry so long lol)

    As much as I love my life as a nurse, I am a mother first and foremost. If leaving work for an emergency with my child means that I will lose my license, then so be it. I can find another career but I cannot replace my children.
  14. Need advice choosing where to take RN pre-requ. courses OKC Area

    I don't know what other additional classes you would need to take if you are in the regular micro and a&p, or do you mean pre-reqs for those classes? Since I knew I was going to apply for Rose's RN program I just took their intro to clinical micr...

    Our's is set up mainly online and with weekend clinicals. So I'm going to get to work my 40 hours a week (mon-fri 8-5) and do my classes online in the evenings (i hope) and do clinicals every weekend! Plus I have 2 small kids at home by myself. Its...
