3. Should I retake Chemistry?

   PopeJane3rd replied to Atl_Queen's topic in General Nursing

   I don't understand that, since many nursing programs will not take certain classes more than 5 yrs old ie anatomy, micro. , so I can't imagine why retaking a course would hurt a person.

4. Should I retake Chemistry?

   PopeJane3rd replied to Atl_Queen's topic in General Nursing

   The school where I'm at doesn't even require chemistry. Why don't you apply and see if they accept you first. Then you know you won't have to retake it. If you get rejected, then retake it. This is the path I would take.

5. Missed a call for an on-call shift

   PopeJane3rd replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

   If I'm not mistaken the poster was talking about come them calling her to actually in to work, not asking a question as you've stated. I got nowhere in her post where she said they were calling to ask a question. Where did you get that from? I thin...

6. Missed a call for an on-call shift

   PopeJane3rd replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

   It may be a ridiculous statement to you. However, look around yourself. It is not all far-fetched. Why do you think nurses get burned out? Doctors and patients sometimes do expect nurses to go above and beyond. And obviously they expect you to be on ...

7. Question on lab. Test

   PopeJane3rd replied to rinks2010's topic in General Nursing

   Not necessarily. Being tired, no energy and weight gain could easily signal the person is consuming too much junk food, have high blood pressure, elevated cardio crp and a host of other things related to diet and exercise. The person is probably to...

8. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

   PopeJane3rd replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

   No, they are not doing any research that I know of on vitamin D. I just see the test more than anything. If I had to guess on my own the most common tests perform, I would say some std. But it is vitamin d. I see it so much that I get tired of or...

9. Question on lab. Test

   PopeJane3rd replied to rinks2010's topic in General Nursing

   Maybe he's checking for bacterial infection or something. Maybe he's checking cortisol too. I like to go to this site called labtestsonline. It's extremely helpful.

10. The world can seem very dark at 3 a.m.

    PopeJane3rd replied to SlightlyMental_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Men never came across to me as nurturers. This may be why your bros have not come to the rescue. I'd say if mom took care of you when you were young, then you won't have any other choice than to care for her or look for a living facility. I think ...

11. Missed a call for an on-call shift

    PopeJane3rd replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds to me like you really don't want to be bothered after a certain time, but hate to admit it. You say your phone acted up before, and yet you let it go on. Then you say you haven't given the clerics your home number because they call at fun...

12. Not sure how I'm going to survive

    PopeJane3rd replied to BabyLady's topic in General Nursing

    How much do you make on your nursing job? I thought you started out nursing with $55k a year at most places.

13. why do doctors order more vitamin d tests than anything?

    PopeJane3rd replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a blood systems lab. They process lots of lavenders, tiger tops, frozens, etc. I see many chain of custodies daily and more than about 60% have where the doc. ordered vitamin d, d3, d 25 and d 125. I was curious as to why. They order more...

14. Why does Sonography pay more than nursing?

    PopeJane3rd replied to PopeJane3rd's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe because teachers salaries are state regulated and we all know the state government can be cheap. Movie stars make more money because the movies they star in are paid for by people like you and I which number in the millions, so they get a cut o...
