1. Nursing Smells You Love?

   lmgst30 replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

   Ooh, yeah, Voltaren gel was the thing I was trying to think of that I loved the smell of. It's been a while, though. I also love the smell of Mastisol. Piney!

2. Patients & Pet Peeves

   lmgst30 replied to SisterofMary's topic in General Nursing

   I once had a patient who was "due" walk down the hall to wait for me outside the room of another patient I was calling a code on.

3. Mandated Nurse-Patient Ratios

   lmgst30 replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

   The cited article says, "Staffing hospitals uniformly at 8 vs 4 patients per nurse would be expected to entail 5.0 (95% CI, 2.4-7.6) excess deaths per 1000 patients and 18.2 (95% CI, 7.7-28.7) excess deaths per 1000 complicated patients." So it's an ...

4. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   lmgst30 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   I just wanted to say to the OP that you are being refreshingly receptive to the responses. So many posters would be crying, "Why do you all hate me/have to be snarky/eat your young?!?" after the 2nd or 3rd response.

5. Rad tech thinking of nursing

   lmgst30 replied to Mybabies123's topic in Pre-Nursing

   When I was 37, I looked at my current career and knew I couldn't spend another 30 years there. Now I'm 39, got pinned yesterday (ADN), and am looking forward to 25+ years in a career that really seems to suit me better. I'll admit, I was one of the ...

6. Transitions course, self testing

   lmgst30 replied to janee7993's topic in Student Assist

   There must be a mobile app that meets these requirements, if that's allowed.

   Sorry, I forgot to check the post date before I replied -- hope things worked out for you!

8. Moving to Pittsburgh! Help??

   lmgst30 replied to Rani-87's topic in Pennsylvania

   I'm currently in an RN program in the Pittsburgh area, I got an official job offer at the end of September and I don't even graduate until mid-December -- HR put my start date nearly 4 months in the future from when I was offered the job. So applying...

9. CCAC Fall 2016 applicants

   lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania

   Got the registration letter today -- very excited about how "real" this is becoming! Though, scheduling a this-is-your-only-chance mandatory registration in the middle of travel season seems a bit unfair. Glad our vacation is before then!

10. Disrespectful patient

    lmgst30 replied to hwknrs's topic in Relations

    This is a big reason why I am leaving teaching for nursing. I'm tired of being expected to tell students their behavior is inappropriate when, really, it's an ENTIRELY appropriate response based on their mental and emotional state and history and bio...

    Got my letter today! So excited/relieved/optimistic! I feel like I'm 17 again!

13. CCAC Fall 2016 applicants

    lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania

    I wonder if your friend didn't meet the minimum requirements? Looking back on this forum, the earliest anyone has ever heard was in late April.

14. CCAC Fall 2016 applicants

    lmgst30 replied to devorahna's topic in Pennsylvania

    Maybe they didn't get as many applications as they were expecting, and competition for admissions will be a little lighter?

15. Help please

    lmgst30 replied to uniqui01's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I'm also a teacher who is going to school to be a nurse. Teachers may need to only be present at school for 7.5 hours, but there is no decent teacher who can actually do everything they need to do within that time. Evenings and weekends are spent lar...
