1. Intensity of adn/absn programs

   grpman replied to cjcaet's topic in General Students

   I've noticed that most adn programs have many prereq's that cause a considerable wait. Most require micro, a/p 1 and 2, and a few others before you can apply. The problem is that the a/p 1 and 2...

2. LOST

   grpman replied to marbar14's topic in General Students

   First, not knowing your normal ranges is an easy fix. I won't waste your time with telling you how. But do remember that most nurses don't know all of these ranges by heart unless it applies to...

3. Second Thoughts..???

   grpman replied to msmarcia's topic in General Students

   I've had some instructors that ran their clinicals paramilitary style. That can be obnoxious, but life changes when you get that one instructor with a gift for explaining. That clinical for me...

4. Nurse with Disdain

   grpman replied to StuckInTheMiddle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Sorry you had to deal with that. However, I guess my point still stands. It seems like staff didn't like dealing with the sick needy people. It also seems like you didn't like dealing with extra...

5. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

   grpman replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Disaster Preparation

   You are right. It would be wrong to fire someone for being obese (wow...can we say lawsuit for bad terminology). However, if obesity interferes with being able to do the minimum requirements of a...

6. Nurse with Disdain

   grpman replied to StuckInTheMiddle's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

   Your post could be seen with a fair amount of irony. Your reason for being sarcastic is due to spending a lot of time (shift from H E L L) with the same people the OP is tired of dealing with. I...

7. Hospitals illegally firing nurses for refusing flu vaccines

   grpman replied to AQEELSMOM's topic in Disaster Preparation

   So, would you expect a nurse manager to hire someone who can't bend over to tie their own shoes and asks for extra breaks to

   grpman replied to ruthiemk's topic in General Nursing

   I'm sorry to hear that. I hope your life is happier now that you are away from him. I might would have typed the same response had I been in your

10. I just can't do this anymore...

    grpman replied to ruthiemk's topic in General Nursing

    I know nothing about your husband other than what you wrote, but if your biggest problem is him being a hypocrite and desiring a return on an education investment...then all men are a-holes, jerks,...

11. Gay male nurse concern about male patient care

    grpman replied to Devon Rex's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think I would handle this like any male rejected by a female patient. I'd respect their wishes and go on. Sexual orientation shouldn't make this a harder question than it is. If a female nurse is...

12. Drug Calculations - not sure what formula to use.

    grpman replied to RN_Pink's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Although I'm an advocate for formulas, I am writing this in case you can't remember one for a test or quiz. Remember that dosages always uses simple math, always. There are no tricks and it can...

13. My grades /:

    grpman replied to FutureNurseShammy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Now that is the attitude of someone that will probably graduate nursing

14. Are you an A student. How do you achieve it

    grpman replied to joselyne's topic in General Students

    I'm being slightly sarcastic, but only slightly. Go to the right school that gives more A's than other competing schools. Not all nursing schools or instructors are created equal. I have seen...

15. C's in Nursing

    grpman replied to SSNS07's topic in General Students

    I hope you aren't worrying too much about this. There will be several rn-bsn bridges that you can do that won't care about a few C's in core nursing classes. Try to make up for them with A's in...
