  1. Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

    1) I have not heard of any such organization, although I do believe that there is an online discussion board for GLBT healthcare workers. 2) I'm not sure that it would be such a great idea, anyway. There are enough problems with Male vs. Female nurse...
  2. Are you in Nursing for the Caring or the Cash?? Be Honest

    I would *NEVER* work this hard and practically kill myself some days just for the $$$$ from nursing. Those who are in it just for the money won't last very long, in my opinion. Just my 0.02 John

  5. Licensure by Endorsement

    For the prompt response. So happy to hear your positive input. I lived on Oahu and Maui for 8 years about 10 years ago, and have always wanted to return. (I relocated to finish my PT degree after 1 year of UH Manoa). I may have the opporturnity to re...

  7. Licensure by Endorsement

    Anyone know how long the process usually takes to obtain permanent licensure by endorsement in Hawaii? Florida is notoriously slow (1.5-2 months) - was just wondering if any of you guys had experience with this? Thanks! John

  9. Physiology Textbook That I Can UNDERSTAND

    This one is easy. By FAR the best I've ever seen/used - and I've had physiology and pathophysiology coursework at 2 different colleges that used this text. Human Physiology - by Vander, Sherman, Luciano. Here is a link to a description: http://higher...
  10. Manatee Community College/St. Pete's College Grads?

    The evening program is just like the day program only in the evening??? (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) The biggest differences: Clinical hours for the "day" program are 6:30am-2:30pm, and for the "evening" program, 2:30pm-10:30pm. The classes are essent...
  11. 265 Questions and shocked

    "Are some candidates randomly selected to receive a long NCLEX examination? It is NOT true that some candidates randomly receive a maximum length examination. The length of an NCLEX examination is based on the performance of the candidate on the exam...
  12. Manatee Community College/St. Pete's College Grads?

    I am a graduate of the SPC ADRN program, and would be happy to answer any questions that you may have. I felt that the program provided outstanding opportunities to learn, and is doing an excellent job to prepare its students. John
  13. Total Hip Replacement - 3 Years Later

    Tweety is right on this one (at least per all of the orthopedic surgeons in this neck of the woods). We teach our patients that after 1 year, they should basically just "live their life", and no longer need to maintain abduction with bed positioning...
  14. Steth shopping

    "Gave" this to myself as a graduation gift. Worth every penny. Suddenly, I started hearing things that I probably should have been hearing all through school. 'OHHHHH. So THAT's what rales sound like', etc. No substitute for quality here. As my spous...
  15. Have you ever felt that you have too much work to do for just one nurse

    The biggest problem at our facility (med-surg/tele) seems to involve the level of patient acuity. Sometimes an assignment of 7 patients leaves me (for lack of a better expression) unchallenged. (bored?). Other times (and more often than not), just 4 ...
