  1. Winter Storm

    charebec65 replied to nurturing_angel's topic in Indiana Nursing

    We got about another 4" last night which I dug out at 6:30 this morning. Not long afterward it started sleeting and has done that all day. I went out about an hour before hubby was expected home and...

  2. Winter Storm

    charebec65 replied to nurturing_angel's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I didn't go in but my situation is a bit different. I do pediatric homecare and the patient I had today's mom also does pediatric homecare. She didn't go in so I didn't have to brave the treacherous...

  4. Piggyback Calculation Question

    charebec65 replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Sounds as if we all learned it the same way, and not the way the pharmacy is telling her. I would have done it 250mL divided by 90 times 60 as

    charebec65 replied to Ophelia78's topic in Home Health

    It sounds like you have gained some good experience. Have you considered started your own agency? Does your state allow independent nurses? That might be another

  6. What would your ER do?

    charebec65 posted a topic in General Nursing

    If this patient presented at your ER trige, what would be done? C/O: nausea, vertigo, chest tightness, headache, SOB on exertion and a BP of 178/135 H/O: HTN, Wolff Parkinson White Syndrome...

  7. hey im a highschool student tat needs some clarification so help me plzz

    charebec65 replied to this101477's topic in Government, Military

    As I'm not a recruiter, I really don't know. Each branch of service has its own requirements. Each rating (ie: corpsman, MP, etc.) in each branch of service has its own requirement. Its not too early...

  8. +Nursing caps

    charebec65 replied to Calgon-take.me.away's topic in General Nursing

    I must admit that in PN school I was excited to learn that we did not have to wear hats. The white uniforms were pretty at first but eventually you end up with stains from unknown origins that just...

  9. Did You Guys Pay Too Much Tuition Too?

    charebec65 replied to lookingforward's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Seems rather exorbitant! I also paid around $8,000 for my pn program which included the CNA program, books, uniforms, stethascope, etc. I'm not transitioning LPN to RN to the tune of about $75 per...

  10. Pharmacy Diverting meds? (long)

    charebec65 replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    I think I would take lauralassie's advice and call the state pharmacy board. I'd also be careful about asking around in that area. If there is a 'drug ring' of sorts, you could find yourself in a...

    charebec65 replied to this101477's topic in Government, Military

    The son of one of my friends is a Navy Corpsman and is leaving for Iraq in a couple of months (married with a 3 month old). Sorry, I digressed.... All you should need to do is contact a Navy...

  13. Need advice: graduating in May and newly pregnant - what to do?

    charebec65 replied to secondfiddle's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Congrats on your pregnancy! You and your SO have to figure out what is best for you. I'm not sure I'd wait until after the baby is born to take the NCLEX, we were told it was better to take it...

  14. Lunch and Dinner Breaks

    charebec65 replied to AussieKylie's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Most of the time I have the chance to enjoy my lunch, I just eat while my patient is sleeping. Anyway, I usually take leftovers from the night before or a Healthy Choice type frozen meal. In...

  15. Adoption option?

    charebec65 replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I too was a teenage mom. I had my twins 6 weeks before I turned 18. They were due in late 1982 but due to to toxemia they were delivered via c-section a couple of weeks earlier than due. I finished my...

  16. Adoption option?

    charebec65 replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was going to mention this after reading everything. Welfare, Food Stamps, Section 8 & WIC are really easy for these kids to get so there's no reason not to keep it when they have a free...

    charebec65 replied to lannisz's topic in Ob/Gyn

  18. My First Delivery, Not A Good Experience

    charebec65 replied to nursebrandie28's topic in Emergency

    OMG, I am having a hard time fighting back tears. I so agree with Motorcycle Mama on this. We have some friends who take in foster kids. Last year they got an 11 month old that had tested positive...

  20. US citizen giving birth in Canada

    charebec65 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Canada

    I have a real problem with this suggestion. It's irresponsible people who pull these shennanigans who cause healthcare costs to rise for those of us who are responsible and pay our bills. My HMO...

  21. Changing careers but discouraged by a failed student

    charebec65 replied to Cartman1532's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I agree with RN34TX, I think she's just not wanting to see you succeed where she was unwilling or unable to do so. I say go for it. The guy nurses I know are

  22. LPN Anesthesia Assistants

    charebec65 replied to PACNWNURSING's topic in Operating Room

    Can't say I've ever heard of an LPN or anyone else being an anesthesia assistant. There is a nurse anesthetist program which is a master's level program. I would think it would take quite a bit of...

  23. Desktop or Laptop?

    charebec65 replied to cdietrich404's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I too have both but since buying my laptop, I rarely use a desktop. My daughter is on a premier select soccer team and we do a lot of traveling. During PN school I took it with me on these trips and...
