   Baubo516 replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

   I, too, was going to suggest home care, especially if you do a whole shift of care in a home with one patient. I had a night shift position and in between the required hourly assessments, I had time to read and do homework. Just don't work overnigh...

   Hesi petition

   Baubo516 replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

   I just want to clarify that students are not permitted to graduate from my program until they either 1) pass the HESI exit exam with a score of 850 or higher or 2) take it 3 times, with remediation between each try. I looked up my school's NCLEX-RN ...

   Hesi petition

   Baubo516 replied to kfbris56's topic in General Students

   At my school, we had to take a HESI exam at the end of each class, and a cumulative one at the end of LPN year and RN year. They were NOT counted as part of our class grades. However, we had to score at least 850 on them, or else do some remediatio...

   2 part time jobs!!! I need advice!

   Baubo516 replied to AliciaS929's topic in General Nursing

   If you are a young new-grad nurse, please be especially careful with your personal boundaries at a juvenile detention center. I used to teach middle school full time (ages 11-14, usually) and I can tell you that those kids are old enough to have rag...

   Baubo516 replied to AliciaS929's topic in General Nursing

   If you are doing a full-time 8 hour shift job, you will probably have to be there 5 days a week. I would not recommend working a part-time in addition to that.

   do you wash your hair every day?

   Baubo516 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I do not wash my hair every day - largely because I don't have enough hot water to wash hair & shave in the same shower! But also because my hair gets too dry when I do. I guess it depends on what type of unit you work on, and what type of patie...

    Career-changer, floundering in the hospital

    Baubo516 replied to guest464345's topic in Career Support

    If you are looking to get out of the hospital, the epidemiology job sounds interesting. I don't know of many patient care areas where you can eat a calm meal and chat with co-workers (much). I have not worked at a clinic, but the clinical days I spen...

    Why are culturally stereotypical behaviors so tolerated?

    Baubo516 replied to mclennan's topic in Professionalism

    Jadelpn - I am dying to know, when you said, "you never use the word "clot" with some ethnic groups", which groups are these? And what horrible thing does "Clot" mean in their language? We were taught a few things to consider with different culture...
