  1. Prophylactic antiemetic therapy

    augigi replied to jojoENZED's topic in Oncology

    What rationale did your CNL give you for not giving dexamethasone on Day 1 of the regime? What regime were they planning - radiation on Day 2... when was the first dex dose

  2. Interview advice appreciated

    augigi replied to madimomma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Maybe I just have a dirty mind, but when I read this I cracked up and thought "I've never wanted a job that

  3. A&P Research Paper

    augigi replied to Jenny67's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Although be careful - I did a nursing class paper on my dad's heart condition during my degree and then proceeded to drive him crazy assessing his symptoms and asking if he'd considered certain...

  4. *HELP*Confusion with Interview??

    augigi replied to AtlantaRN's topic in General Nursing

    Pay negotiation is DEFINITELY something I had huge trouble with after years of nursing at award wages. My move to corporate work has helped enormously. I've learned that if you don't ask, you don't...

  5. Volunteer wanting to show some love

    augigi replied to AMR21's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think giving a group "thankyou" precludes asking an individual for a reference. It's not like a muffin is going to sway

  6. What's your holiday bonus?

    augigi replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the director of medical affairs at a medical device manufacturer. Ironically enough, I'm planning to leave in the next 6-9 months to go back to work at a hospital in a clinical position. I miss it...

  7. I don't WANT to be a doctor

    augigi replied to Halinja's topic in General Nursing

    I should add, personally i don't take too much offense when I hear the old "you're too smart to be just a nurse" thing. I think it's an opportunity to educate people about what nurses actually do and...

  8. ADN to BSN to NP

    augigi replied to Brittnbrandon48's topic in General Nursing

    Why not just find an online BSN program? There are many excellent

  9. Getting A Bsn With The Intention Of Becoming A Doctor

    augigi replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't think people do nursing because they think it's easier. Likely they think it's related, and will give them the opportunity to gain experience in healthcare before committing to medical...

  10. Bachelors or RN?

    augigi replied to sara29's topic in General Nursing

    Noone can advise which you'd prefer, obviously. However - I think if you are 75% of the way through a bachelor's degree, it may be foolish to give that up for a backwards step to ADN. If I were you,...

  11. I am so confused..Nursing Research Class

    augigi replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in General Students

    I didn't think the example requested for "sampling design" was talking about actual gathering of samples - that is addressed in "measurement" - but rather than method of deciding the study...

  12. is this abuse

    augigi replied to southernlady48's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Yes, but you're hearing very little information about the situation here - I'd want to know more before reporting "abuse" or "neglect". Maybe the patient had already been assessed and those signs...

  13. Do a BSN degree holder has equal chance to take nclex like the RN's?

    augigi replied to sam's_angel's topic in International Nursing

    You do not need a license at home (Phil) to be able to be made eligible for NCLEX. HOWEVER - if you have taken the exam in your country and failed, you need to tell them that. A better option is to...

  14. re:vermont processing time to for licensure/att

    augigi replied to matchbox20's topic in Immigration Advice

    #1 - yes. Check if it needs notarization on the copy. #2 - this was just answered on the last page. If you don't have experience, write "no" and include a cover letter explaining that you are a new...

  15. I don't WANT to be a doctor

    augigi replied to Halinja's topic in General Nursing

    Luckily my mum is a nurse, so she always agrees "who would be a doctor?" - with the lifestyle sacrifices, hours, training, etc etc. Plus, I LIKE the work nurses do. I hate it when people say "oh,...

  16. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    augigi replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Look, I'm not suggesting you be a doormat and take a lot of bad treatment. I just think it's often a problem from both sides, and we're not getting both sides of the argument. As a student you are...

  17. What's your holiday bonus?

    augigi replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    It's not bad, but it's not as good as it sounds - believe me, I have to work hard for it! 10% is the maximum possible, and it's performance based. If I don't meet my objectives, it starts dropping. I...

  18. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    augigi replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    I hate the saying "eat their young" - sounds like we're all mother lions or something. Newbies aint my kids.. not that I'd eat my kids.

  19. I am so confused..Nursing Research Class

    augigi replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in General Students

    By the way, looks after a quick read like a good, interesting article - and your teacher has even chosen words for the task list which are exactly taken from the paper, so you shouldn't have too many...

  20. I am so confused..Nursing Research Class

    augigi replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in General Students

    Ok, breathe... :) The good news is, it sounds like your instructor has given you a great detailed outline of what he wants, so it should all be very easy! **The MOST important thing, when you are...

  21. Need some advice

    augigi replied to caregiver1964's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    HypaFix ™ is a tape. It's available in several sizes. It sticks and conforms to contours very well and is generally hypoallergenic. Smith & Nephew -

  22. Retrogression for Indian born nurses

    augigi replied to mrtThd's topic in International Nursing

    Try searching the International forum, there are several posts about retrogression. Basically yes, you will probably be delayed for at least a decent amount of time, but noone will know much more...

  23. House, Grey's Anatomy make me mad

    augigi replied to nitesky83's topic in General Nursing

    Until a nurse writes a great script proposal, or gets a job as the advisor to one of these shows, or makes a compelling documentary about the real life nurses, nothing is going to change. So it is,...

  24. What Is the Problem With These Nurses?

    augigi replied to Sheri257's topic in General Nursing

    Some people just suck. Others may be frustrated with the work added by having a newbie around, or just not be good teachers - not everyone is. It may be their problem and not yours, but to make your...

    augigi replied to snoopy_eam's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you're a US citizen, you should be able to check the CA BRN website, enter your SSN and see if a license is
