1. Which type of blood product is compatible with all blood types?

   Spoiled627 replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

   Exactly why I said, we can't rely on what people say!!!!. Seriously, I don't know what TRUERN's problem is but I've been a nursing student, I know what it feels like to not know the answer to a question. We had a take home test once, and I looked u...

   Spoiled627 replied to linda2097's topic in General Nursing

   Like I said "I didn't want to sound mean!" and I did look at her profile and I didn't see any reference to this "OP" you mentioned. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I assume everyone can answer how they please. It is an open discussion, righ...

3. The end of C-diff testing??

   Spoiled627 replied to medpsychRN's topic in General Nursing

   I think the reason they do that is because Medicare will not pay for hospital aquired ulcers anymore. I think, it was passed May of 08 but not sure. You might want to look into it.

4. Do I have what it takes to be a nurse?

   Spoiled627 replied to kaya767's topic in General Nursing

   We didn't shadow but we had to be CNA certified before applying to the nursing program. I went into nursing without a clue. Seriously, other that check-ups at a clinic, I had not once volunteered in a hospital or any healthcare setting but I still li...

6. Nursing and Traffic Violations?!? SERIOUSLY

   Spoiled627 replied to Spoiled627's topic in General Nursing

   First, sorry if I offended anyone by saying "ambulance driver" I wasn't referring to the EMT's -- I know their role and would never be unappreaciative to what they do. Second, that's just it, it wasn't a speeding ticket! It was letting an unathorize...

7. HELP!!! ATT: Incomplete Address

   Spoiled627 replied to chickikay's topic in General Nursing

   I would call and ask if it's a problem. My registration form said in big bold letters to make sure I had all my information printed correctly or they would charge a 50 dollar fine for any corrections, so, you might want to check. If it's their mistak...

8. Nursing and Traffic Violations?!? SERIOUSLY

   Spoiled627 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Ok here's the deal. I've applied to several locations and of course each place does a drug screen and a criminal background check -- nothing new. So, the criminal background check comes up with a traffic violation (a traffic violation that doesn't e...

9. Question about organ donation.

   Spoiled627 replied to xlilchatonx's topic in General Nursing

   The reason I decided to be a nurse is to help people. I cant imagine myself not doing all I can to save someone just because they are organ donors. It's not ethical or legal to do something like that. BE AN ORGAN DONOR! you don't know what a differen...

    I remember that all too well (I'm so glad it's over for me) but in a couple of months you'll be in my shoes and you'll look back and think-- why did I stress out so much??? ( hard to believe, I know, but it's true!!!! ) When May rolled around for me,...

    Spoiled627 replied to ohmeowzer RN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what's offered in your area but I live in Iowa and we have a "Free" Clinic program. It's given once a week and it's first come first serve, the space is limited but at least they have an opportunity. Everything is free -- the visit, labs...
