I hate to say it, but with cannabis being legalized at schools now (for medical patients) damn near anything is possible. But essential oils? Are you kidding me. I get migraines. A lot of them. Strong smells, and lights screw with me bigtime. Working at the parts store, I've gotten headaches triggered by dumping 5 gallons of waste motor oil, rubber hoses and gaskets in that aisle, you name it. Customers with cars that have weed smoke billowing out while I'm under the hood innocently testing out their battery, and alternator... Someone sprays essential oils around me, guess who needs 2 Advil's stat? Second, schools IIRC are always getting their throats jumped down for when they have to spray chemicals...Round Up, etc.... Other than one being natural and one a harmful chemical, what is the difference in terms of being pungently odored?

Nursing comes first for me. I do not see myself working on other people's cars, day in and day out, until I die. I do it for myself. Nursing on the other hand runs in my families blood. And myself. Helping those in need I can see myself doing, proudly until my last breath. I am, however, a broke man with 4 cars, a motorcycle, quad and trailer. The trailer and 1 vehicle are reliable. The rest I bought used or inherited and need work. I do that work as I really can't be paying someone $500 for labor, when I can get the part for $10 to $300and get down to it. I self taught myself when the difference beteeen "I gotta get to work" and the unemployment line was one stupid misfire, from a torn boot in cylinder 3. Then came to enjoy the savings of doing my own work. Nursing or not, I will always DIY my work, and maybe one day build one of my two dream vehicles; 1. A 6.7 Powerstroke (diesel) 2. Or a LQ4 Yukon XL Denali (gas, but $5,000 gets you 600+ horsepower)

Hey y'all Quick question for the new or experienced nurses on here. Last week I landed myself a job at a auto parts store (Think major chain like Autozone) After a certain period of time, I can get two certifications at least; 1. ASE certified parts specialist 2. DuraLast certified starter and alternator specialist (in house) I also get to learn testing ignition control modules. Which to me is a Godsend the latter is pretty cool. But the first? I can go damn near anywhere with that. Dealer, other parts stores, etc... I already plan on going back for my ASE master mechanic, and diesel courses after the nursing stuff is done. In the meantime, is there anyway, during nursing school I could land myself a job at a hospital and have some school costs off loaded for me? Like what the parts store is doing for me? I know it's a shot in the dark, but I figured I'd ask. Or a place that'd help you get your CCRN, APN, etc? Thanks in advance!

I never even thought of that J. Adderton That'd be some interesting stuff. Wahh wahh what is this weird place? Oh well. Looks nice and bright. I'll stay

Very insightful article! Personally, it blows my mind all the different things people see! I've heard that DMT is only released during sleep and at death If that is true, it makes me wonder just how much that plays a role in our transformation from life to death And if the latter is true, that may explain why we see different things. Personally, I'm one to even question what human consciousness and this world is. I have yet to find an answer

Well, I got a headstart on the auto stuff. So I got that going for me. I don't plan on working both simaltaneously. No way

Schooling? It's all that way. I want to become both an RN and mechanic. Last time I needed to go to a shop, it was for an alignment, which I can't do myself without a full on garage. Me and the manager got to talking. He had recently hired a fresh new ASE certified mechanic (That's like the RN equivalent pretty much) So his resume looks good on paper. Throw him in the service bay. This guy, with all the education in the world could not even change an alternator. Honestly, it's a crying shame what education has become. More about books than real life. I truly hope that's not a representation of the nursing program, just down the hall from the auto shop. As to money, yes, I have received itemized statements for a hospital stay. A baby aspirin is $8.50/each. EKG, $300. Someone I know possibly had a heartattack one day while exercising. Mind you he is a medical professional. Knows how to interpret an EKG, knows the signs of an MI. He refused to go to the ER for treatment, because of the cost. Meanwhile, the CEO has oober goobers of money Oh, but critical access hospitals are in critical condition, and SSOOO underfunded according to some news outlets. Always about money. I can see charging a fortune for building new facilities, paying staff, upgrading equipment, but at some point the line has to be drawn. Just my humble opinion.

I wonder how many deaths are caused by med errors alone with doctors...

Disclosure is one thing, security culture is a whole another ballgame. It sounds like, as you said, there is no papertrail, or you THINK. Facebook has been around since what? 2005? Took off in popularity in 2007 or so IIRC? Add in MySpace, early forum boards (AllNurses is old enough to be Facebook's grandma) etc... Your username, if used on multiple sites can simply be Googled. So an employer gets your app Jane Doe DOB 8/19/1984 (example) Looks up Jane Doe on Facebook. It shows up account created in 2006. Public posts are only this year...just a few cute pics of your tabby cat, some nursing posts. Maybe a family vacation picture you were tagged in. Nothing remarkable there. Then look up a common username they have of you BOOM! Here's your MySpace handle from 2004, public, with a Four Loko background and pictures of you getting high, drunk, etc I'm not saying this is you, but for a broad example, I can see this happening with nurses and prospective employees alike My online identity? AllNurses Yelp A different forum My YouTube Channel My YouTube channel does have videos of me cussing out a cow, shooting a rattlesnake, and my experiences with anxiety/nursing stuff. Nothing I wouldn't want on the 5:00 news My point is, just because you don't have a legal papertrail does NOT mean big tech giants like that can have your past on the internet. Be mindful of this fact before you make a decision on that checkbox.

BAHAHHAAH you just had to!!! And I'm surprised you didn't do any pictures for my post. I saw like, 10 opportunities. But I'm working with a Raspberry Pi computer right now. Small processor. Can't run any photo programs beyond looking at photos

1. I actually inquired about employment at a private LTC facility i handed my app in, spoke to the charge nurse. I get to telling her "I have anxiety and chest pain, but it's pretty decently controlled with Kava. Is that ok?" Charge goes on to say every employee there mostly has an anxiolytic in them. Like, wow, is this your workplace environment? I was shocked. Shocked might be an understatement. 2. I don't think I've ever came so close to fainting until this day... I used to work at a smoke shop. This one young lady would come in fairly often . Young LTC nurse, amicable, and cute as a button. I got to chatting her up and contemplated asking her out to dinner. All was going good. She'd come in, I'd chat her up. Repeat for a week. One day she comes in, eyes dark as can be, and asks for a "oil burner" That's smoke shop slang for a meth pipe. 3. I have 2 homes. One in small town America, the other in the big city. I've gone to the local saloon a handful of times to have a beer after my long commute. Just one single beer. Use the opportunity to socialize mainly,for heaven's sake. I look over and there's a LTC employee I recognize. I already knew her as being real self absorbed (to put it nicely) and the party type. She is still in her scrubs, ETOH, probably on beer #15 smoking a joint. Yeah, I'd LOVE for her to be my caretaker. I don't care if that's after work activity, that says a lot about someones responsibility. Not the behavior I'd expect out of a healthcare professional. Heaven forbid, I've never drank more than 5 beers in a 24 hour period. Spaced out over 8 hours BBQing for an old friend and catching up with old times around a all night bonfire.

There's an Android app called FullCode but you have to pay for it

Geez louise, I've done Fresno to San Jose in 2H15M, driving mostly the speed limit.

No hospital suggestions, sorry. As to BART, very dirty. I've met a few tech types in the mountains that have shared they hate it If you spend any extended time in SF, get a dual sport and learn how to ride it. At least you can lane split. At least, that's what I would do. I love riding at high speed in the middle of nowhere Put me on my motorcycle urban, 25 lane split sounds good. Albeit, only rode in the city once. Still not that bad

Miss me on that. I work more than 13 hours, I'm toast. 13 is my limit + a 2 hour commute. Even on 13's I got enough caffeine in me to kill 10 normal men
