1. RN to BSN big problem or....?

   radtechgirl replied to Malika67's topic in Online Learning

   Some hopefully timesaving/helpful info: WGU is a pass/fail school, and so if you wish to go on after their BSN please keep that in mind because many places won't take their credits, or find them "non-competitive" as I've been told. I tried the first...

   radtechgirl replied to dorkiexcici's topic in General Students

   Dear Dorkiexcici, I've been in your shoes, and at my school the advisor, dean, or even the principal of the college does not care if you bring your problems to them, you still loose. I'm going to tell you exactly what to do, and you must begin today...

3. Sharing unorthodox treatments - Where to draw the line?

   radtechgirl replied to radtechgirl's topic in General Nursing

   I thank you for the idea, as I feel naturopathy would be a good fit for me. Currently, however, I live in a small traditional town, which I very much value, yet many residents here think organic means you bought your spinach from the produce isle th...

4. Sharing unorthodox treatments - Where to draw the line?

   radtechgirl replied to radtechgirl's topic in General Nursing

   Dear Libby1987, I like your approach. It's simple enough, but I had never thought of obtaining the practitioner's approval for unorthodox procedures I would like to offer my patient. That makes for good teamwork, and it may also open up a two way c...

6. Sharing unorthodox treatments - Where to draw the line?

   radtechgirl replied to radtechgirl's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for sharing your view of things. One of our local practitioners off loads diabetic foot injuries by rubber cementing foam directly to the skin. He says he's done it for years with positive results. Also another example is good ol' Colace...

7. Sharing unorthodox treatments - Where to draw the line?

   radtechgirl replied to radtechgirl's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for your prompt and thoughtful replies. I figured it would be a liability issue, so that's exactly why I don't say more. I am glad to hear that this is the best approach. I think more so what I am seeking is input on the best way to ...

8. Sharing unorthodox treatments - Where to draw the line?

   radtechgirl posted a topic in General Nursing

   Dear Fellow Nurses, All during school we are taught to "think outside of the box". We are taught to use alternative approaches such as meditation or imagery for pain management. It is also engrained in us to respect, embrace, and enable our patient...

   FlyingScot, these look like exactly what I am looking for!!! I have searched many a shoe and discussion board, and this is the first I have heard of Calzuro. Thank you all so much for revisiting this subject. I will purchase these this evening and...

10. Comfortable shoes that add height?

    radtechgirl replied to radtechgirl's topic in Uniform/Gear

    Thank you, prnqday, for your fast response. I do love the Dansko's, but sadly they are too much like my Sanita clogs, which I can no longer tolerate. I did search the forums before I posted my thread. There is a great deal of conversations about s...

11. Comfortable shoes that add height?

    radtechgirl posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

    Hi folks, I searched the forums, but could not find any threads specific to comfortable nursing shoes that add at least 2 inches of height. I am a shorter nurse, and I have become accustomed to wearing my Sanita clogs, which adds 1-2 inches of heigh...

    radtechgirl replied to Lear77's topic in Online Learning

    Boise State University has an online A &P and a separate online lab. It's regionally accredited also, and $239/credit hour for part-time plus $92/credit hour for out of state if applicable; so anywhere from about 1K to 1300.00 total cost dependi...
