  1. Protecting the patient already died does not make any sense!

    kukukajoo replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Chuck- please don't be like that there is absolutely no reason for your behavior on here. When you type something while quoting my post and say "you" and "your" just how am I supposed to read your...

  2. How can i succeed?

    kukukajoo replied to roxiejay's topic in General Nursing

    Get a really good NCLEX review book that has rationales and breaks it down by area of learning as well as subject matter. This will help you study and learn and see the whys and whats as well as help...

  3. Protecting the patient already died does not make any sense!

    kukukajoo replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    There you go again....Maybe you should read ALL my posts on this thread before you assume that I am assuming anything. Please don't call me irresponsible when you haven't even taken the time to read...

  4. Immunizations and blood titers?

    kukukajoo replied to pluskon's topic in General Students

    Check with your high school nurse- they may have the record you need. I ran into this and contacted the state labs who would charge next to nothing for testing titers (cheaper than shots) but needed...

  5. Are nurses in other nations bilingual? Should US be?

    kukukajoo replied to **nurse**'s topic in General Nursing

    Roy- Sign language is easy to learn! I taught my girl scout troop how to sign and we sold cookies at the mall they did great with the deaf customers (who I was very surprised were many!). My...

  6. help with discharge-newborn

    kukukajoo replied to nurselala33's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think this is a good idea for a school project. This goes against the AAP and not a recomended practice and is very controversial. Considering she is going to be graded on this, I would play...

  7. Protecting the patient already died does not make any sense!

    kukukajoo replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Chuck- I don't understand why you posted asking if the girl should be told but then when anyone posts someting you seem to be belittling them for their comments? I understand you were venting your...

  8. Protecting the patient already died does not make any sense!

    kukukajoo replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    Obviously if the unborn child is his, he was having unprotected sex. Possibly while infected with HIV. In New Hampshire, HIV is not a reportable disease. BUT..... I do know of at least one case...

  9. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

    kukukajoo posted a topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Just curious, I see all this information about AA's and now wonder how everyone in the field honestly feels about them. Also would this be the route you would have taken had the choice been available...

  10. disclosing PRN Vicodin

    kukukajoo replied to iHeartNICU's topic in General Nursing

    Definately disclose. FYI- MOST places that do drug testing for employees do not pass on the information they receive from the test subject regarding medicines they take. They only need this...

  11. Nursing or X-ray

    kukukajoo replied to Juzmi's topic in Nursing Career

    You will have much more flexibility as a nurse as well as more jobs available as a rule of thumb. There are hundreds of nurses at a hospital and only a few XRay techs. Plus Nurses can work in...

  12. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    JWK- I will ask again- Can YOU provide the links for the same information that you are asking of the CRNA program for the AA programs? I don't see how the above does not satisfy that yes, regional...

  13. LNA Questions!

    kukukajoo replied to NursingStudent18's topic in General Nursing

    Don't foget that the state will reimburse you for your LNA classes once you start working. See the top of the NH thread as it was made a sticky and has the link. Hope you do well in the LNA

  14. Insulin question

    kukukajoo replied to SNlena's topic in Patient Medications

    I woud think it would be easier to go after a public college- they accept government monies and have to adhere to stricter standards. Does the college have a board of trustees or something else...

  15. Linen Material

    kukukajoo replied to TrudyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Linen Rayon for gowns? Sounds expensive AND high maintenance. Maybe if it is preshrunk? I think linen/rayon would hold up well and be comfortable. It is a natural material- very old fabric and...

  18. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    ZRMORGAN- I am the OP!! :) Seems as if I have had to do my own research as well as inform others of my findings when they state the information I found was not available. The above information comes...

  19. How do you really feel about AA and would you go that route now if you could do over?

    kukukajoo replied to kukukajoo's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    JWK- I will post the link AGAIN about regional. It does not give numbers, but then you are saying that they are not available for the AA course either. I originally started this thread to get...

  23. Low Census....again!

    kukukajoo replied to SouthernBelleinsocal's topic in General Nursing

    I imagine that this would affect retention. Heck who wants to be low man with that policy? I agree with Meownsmile- ask them to change the policy and come up with a better way and present one which is...

  24. financing school 401k

    kukukajoo replied to Anne36's topic in General Nursing

    it depends if you take a loan against it and pay yourself the interest such as Cardiac RN describes, If you have to take an outright withdrawal then you should check to see if there is penality. I...

  25. Weight - Blog (somewhat)

    kukukajoo replied to antidote's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I HATE cardio with a passion. Several years ago I was able to lose 50# with strictly weight training and kept it off for a few years until I began to have health issues and go to nursing school- my...
