   schade1 replied to rntraveler2012's topic in Travel

   I can't figure out how to edit my comment. Horse Park Polo Club probably won't work - sorry, I was thinking Woodland and got Woodside. Anyway, if you make some calls around using google for Woodland or Capay Horse Boarding, you can probably get someo...

   I agree, around Sacramento is the best bet. Give Horse Park Polo Club, in Woodside CA a call and ask them for Tara Leonard's phone number. I think they should have it. She's in Capay and boards polo ponies. I'm sure she doesn't care if they are polo ...

3. Any direction on areas of nursing I should consider?

   Thanks Lori, That is a good tip for when I'm done with school. Maybe PRN would allow me to test out different areas of nursing, as well.

4. Any direction on areas of nursing I should consider?

   schade1 replied to schade1's topic in General Students

   I did consider an MPH, a JD, and a PA. I found that nursing seems to offer the most career paths. Options are appealing. You are right, public health may be a good fit. Maybe I'll seek an experience in that arena, while I'm in school. I think people...

   Thank you. I do understand not to go against the physician. However, if someone is clearly going to suffer because of an error. . . . I have done 100s of western blots in the lab. The way the results read on the Lyme test is confusing. I am not at al...

   Please excuse. I do rely on spell checker too often.

7. Any direction on areas of nursing I should consider?

   schade1 replied to schade1's topic in General Students

   I work well in a team. I just don't enjoy managing people. That's why I said that. I expect others to work as hard as I do and to use their brains (and not rely on spell checker - as often as I do). That's supposed to be funny, btw. Both of my bosses...

   schade1 posted a topic in General Students

   I'm just starting my accelerated BSN program. I'm having a hard time envisioning myself as a nurse, because there are so many kinds of nurses, that I just don't know where I'm going to fit in. I'm looking for some suggestions as to which kinds of nur...

9. Any nursing and hospital lingo and organization book recommendations?

   schade1 replied to schade1's topic in General Students

   Great. I'll get this too. I work in healthcare (research related), I just don't interact with hospital people or patients. I know lab terminology, how to do tons of lab tests, their meaning, when they'd be ordered, and what a normal result looks like...

    schade1 posted a topic in General Students

    Hi there, I start nursing school in August. I have purchased the Saunders Comprehensive Review - thanks for the recommendation! However, I find that people throw around a lot of lingo and abbreviations that I don't know and wondered if anyone had a ...

12. Sharpies to label transparent dressing

    schade1 replied to Chisca's topic in Disease

    I have only worked in laboratories and there were times we would not use sharpies, because alcohol makes it dissolve and smear off. The tape idea is good, but won't prevent it from smearing with alcohol (say from your hands or gloves). When we could...
