1. nursing care plan for neurocysticercosis

   LadyHazy replied to lhiz's topic in International

   As previously mentioned, your nursing care plan -highly- depends on assessment data. If your clinical instructor did not give you assessment data (which totally sucks), you might have to assume scenarios in which the "usual" clinical manifestations a...

2. Working Conditions in Philippine Hospitals

   LadyHazy posted a topic in International

   So I was fortunate enough to get a job at a private tertiary hospital recently. I am very grateful for my job: The pay is good, the benefits are better than practically all of the hospitals in the area, and the staff is friendly and supportive. The w...

3. Any Tips for Surviving the Long Wait of those Pending Applications in the Hospitals

   LadyHazy replied to Icecandy's topic in International

   I know how you feel! Not being able to get a job post-NLE is very frustrating, especially with the number of nurses rising dramatically every year. I was idle for what seemed like long periods of time, but I was fortunate enough to find a job just re...

4. Protection for Volunteer/ Trainee Nurses

   LadyHazy replied to potatomasher's topic in International

   @medic28: Ah, I guess my post was affected by my own career goals. Because personally, I've only really considered doing hospital or private duty nursing. I have a general idea of what occupational (and school) health nurses do and I find it routine...

5. Protection for Volunteer/ Trainee Nurses

   LadyHazy replied to potatomasher's topic in International

   I'll share my own experience: I enrolled in a training program which included two months of clinical exposure, lectures and IV therapy training. We were required to pay a certain amount as honorarium to the lecturers (most were MDs or experienced RNs...

6. NON-Nurses Giving Shots in MD Offices

   LadyHazy replied to nyforlove's topic in General Nursing

   Just a thought: Perhaps a better way of dealing with the situation would be to ask the medical assistant questions about needle sizes, the procedure, the vaccine, the proper dose and side effects, etc. instead of getting confrontational and assume sh...

7. Over confident colleague

   :cough cough delusions of grandeur cough: That is all. :)

8. LPN in the Philippines? is there really no way?

   LadyHazy replied to kdc_RN's topic in International

   There are already too many RNs in the Philippines as it is, and, in my opinion, no point in having LPNs here in the Philippines. And, frankly, I don't agree with producing LPNs for the sole purpose of shipping them abroad. It looks like these schools...

9. Messed up my first job, now what ?

   LadyHazy replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in New Nurse

   Don't be too hard on yourself. While it is important to learn from your past mistakes, you must not allow these bad experiences to consume you. Perhaps, a pleasant lunch or cup of tea with a good friend will assure you that your self worth has not di...

10. Protection for Volunteer/ Trainee Nurses

    LadyHazy replied to potatomasher's topic in International

    I must agree that the practice of accepting volunteer nurses (and even forcing them to pay for their own training) must be stopped. Even with volunteers, hospitals need more nurses (nurse-patient ratio up to 1:40) and yet, most refuse to employ new n...

11. Volunteer Nurses: Counted as a Work Experience?

    LadyHazy replied to rlssem's topic in Philippines

    I am a new nurse training at a private hospital in Mindanao. I paid a small amount for two months of training, which also includes IV therapy training and (once I complete my cases :)) licensure. After our training, the hospital shall absorb us train...

12. inconsistencies :(

    LadyHazy posted a topic in General Students

    Is it just me or do protocols for certain stuff vary with the instructor? We had our sample nurses notes today before we could write the actual with a new instructor and every one of us had to rewrite at least four times (i'm not gonna describe the e...

13. Clinical Groups? Please tell me they change!!

    LadyHazy replied to SamytheCool's topic in General Students

    In my experience, clinical groups change every semester (mostly because people fail and get left behind or have to transfer blocks). Don't feel too bad about it... In nursing, you usually have to deal with tons of people whether you like it or not. J...

14. HELP! First test in final semester TUESDAY and I can't make myself study :(

    LadyHazy replied to RNinJune2007's topic in General Students

    Lol. I'm actually having the same problem... I don't know if I have ADD but i figure I probably have because I have such a difficult time focusing at anything! (but I'm not one to diagnose myself so...) The earlier you start, the better. In fact, you...

15. For those current nursing students.......

    LadyHazy replied to tanner523's topic in General Students

    This advice is so true... For the past few years I tried to follow my high school motto and just take it easy while making the grade. It worked for awhile but two semesters ago, my grades started to skydive, and this sem I've decided to pick up the s...
