    felixfelix replied to NrsLucky's topic in General Nursing

    this is what happens when MD's get used to having MA's around. they can do anything he directs them to do, but you, as an LVN, have a scope of work to think

    felixfelix replied to 77EpiphanyRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  4. I'm really angry!!! And i just need to vent!!!!

    felixfelix replied to GM RN 2010's topic in Florida Nursing

  5. What did you do when you got rejected?

    felixfelix replied to computer101's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  7. terminated, am I blacklisted from mental health?

    felixfelix replied to felixfelix's topic in Psychiatric

  9. terminated, am I blacklisted from mental health?

    felixfelix replied to felixfelix's topic in Psychiatric

    Thanks for the replies. The ref checking is a good idea. The MHP's are mental health partners, who were just watching when they should have done the restraint so I could go get the prn. I can't...

  10. Why is there no medical terminology class for the RN program? Among others.

    felixfelix replied to amanda1266's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    buy a used terminology book before school starts and go thru it. also, try and visit a hospital and copy their abbreviations folder. That was worth it's weight in gold when I started clinicals, and...

    felixfelix replied to JamieA0321's topic in Colorado Nursing

  13. Samuel Merritt University

    felixfelix replied to WWE DiVa's topic in General Nursing

    yea, it's a good school. closer to 66k to finish the whole 9 yards there, isn't it? I know of 2 SM grads who said they'd be placed into their externship positions, but I don't know if that actually...

  18. Job woes in the SF Bay Area... why is it like this?

    felixfelix replied to NTPinky's topic in California Nursing

  19. IM sites for anti-psychotics

    felixfelix posted a topic in Psychiatric
