   JMCP replied to estoque's topic in Pre-Nursing

5. having trouble in findingNursing diagnosis for hypertension during labor

   JMCP replied to Sammy Sam's topic in Student Assist

   Stick to stuff you see and stop with the risks. Risks are hypothetical and although they are important you must prioritize what is being affected now. Also focus on the mother if your are dealing with hypertension.

6. NJ License or California license?

   JMCP replied to thejetsetnurse's topic in New Jersey

   also keep in mind that aside from a couple of hospitals such as UCLA, Cedars, County (Los Angeles), most hospitals start new grads at around the high 20's/hr. That is so similar to NJ that i don't see any benefit in moving here.

7. NJ License or California license?

   JMCP replied to thejetsetnurse's topic in New Jersey

   Stay in your home state, apply there and get your license there. Its the most economical thing to do. In California, the market is tough and it will take you a good 3months to a year to get a job. Assuming you know someone or work at the hospital tha...

12. No More Nurse Volunteer Programs! DOH Orders Termination of "Nurse Volunteer Programs

    JMCP replied to Pacs, RN's topic in Philippines

    I think this is a great idea! I have met some great nurses who studied in the Philippines. However, I have also encountered many bad nurses from the Phillipines who's knowledge and safety left me sick to my stomach with unease. Sidenote: this has n...

    JMCP replied to Elan84's topic in General Nursing

    The fact that you assume thT I mean you shouldn't be a nurse from my post speaks worlds! I dont think you should be an er nurse since you can't seem to gather your basics (which is to verify your patient). I think you need to relax, realize that yo...
