  1. WellStar Douglas

    I know this is a really old thread but I just moved to Douglasville! Haven't gone back to work yet since our move to Georgia but I'm starting to look. Are ya'll in the area now?
  2. CA Online Associates in Nursing?

    Western Governors offers an online BSN for people that do not already have an RN license. It is accredited and available for California students. You can find info here BSN with RN License | Online RN Degree | Online Nursing School
  3. Anyone Who Says They Don't is Lying: Medication Error

    Right documentation is critical. I've seen it dozens of times. If the medication is not documented properly the next nurse may not realize the medication has been given and give a second dose. This is particularly true for one time dosed medications ...
  4. Non-US experience acceptable in TX hospitals

    I'm an ICU nurse in Corpus Christi Texas and the hospital I work for hires A LOT of foreign trained and experienced nurses. You shouldn't have a problem, at least in this area.
  5. I start tomorrow!

    My second semester of nursing school one of my professors told me "it's going to get harder before it gets harder. When you feel like giving up, and you will, just think of that nurse you know that has no compassion left and is hardened by her experi...
  6. Need some comic relief from all this Ebola-ness?

  7. "Houston we have a problem" This just got very real

    I'm not sure where you're getting that it's not droplet spread because the CDCs own website says it can be spread by droplets but the CDC considers droplet transmission a form of contact. That is directly from the CDC not my made up interpretation. I...
  8. I had to call in late for work once because there was a moose on my doorstep. I had to wait for it to leave
  9. One night I was charge nurse and during the day shift there was a brand new travel nurse that completed her first day of her six week travel assignment. She left at about 8:15 which is pretty good time. Just slightly over the 7:30 goal. She called me...
  10. Traditional or online

    I graduated from an online ADN program in 2011. I passed my boards in 40 minutes and 75 questions. I think it took longer to do the survey at the end of the test than the actual test. I was not an LPN/LVN before I began the program. I'm an ICU nurse...
  11. Sticky situation .. What would you do?

    I did my entire ADN program online and most of my prerequisites because that's what worked best for me, my family, and my work schedule. I didn't "copy" from my friend. I worked my arse off because I didn't have an instructor in front of me to ask qu...
  12. I once had to call in late with no idea how late I would be because there was a moose literally sitting directly in front of my door. I opened my door to go to work and the moose looked at me and snorted. I slammed the door, locked it, and called in ...
  13. Professionals or "workers"

    I've worked in Alaska which is unionized and now I live in Texas which is not. There is a HUGE difference in the quality of work conditions and compensation directly related to the nursing union. Not all professions need a union but nursing is certai...
  14. Enough already.... no, really

    My daughter broke her arm in school in second grade. The school nurse actually sent her back to class. My 8 year old self splinted her arm all day and when I picked her up I knew immediately it was broken and took her to the hospital. Sure enough the...
  15. Enough already.... no, really
