  1. applied for CNA job...and now a credit check?

    BeachNurse replied to twinbee25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I have had times in my life when my credit was quite bad. It should not hinder you, unless there is something serious or something on your background

  2. applied for CNA job...and now a credit check?

    BeachNurse replied to twinbee25's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Every healthcare job I have ever applied for I had to consent to a credit

  3. What Is/ Was your grading scale in nursing school?

    BeachNurse replied to brina's topic in General Nursing

    Mine was the same as the above. Anything less than 80 was failing. I found out that those who struggled with this grading scale were also the same people who failed the NCLEX at least

  4. BBC: "Nurses say reform prostitute law"

    BeachNurse replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We have several HIV+ prostitutes that come to our clinic. My observation is that they punish themselves due to consequences of participating in the lifestyle. They don't need to go to

  6. Why Are Nurses Given Such A Bad Rap Today?

    BeachNurse replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Well said..and I think that's why I love my job..we nurses SUPPORT each other and I also have support from my supervisor. Makes all the difference in the

  7. Why Are Nurses Given Such A Bad Rap Today?

    BeachNurse replied to live4today's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I am joining the thread late..but I didn't know nurses got a bad rap either! All the time that I have been a RN I have felt highly respected by my friends, family, and most importantly,...

  8. TV drug ad study

    BeachNurse replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry to hear about your son. My own son, who has had a multitute of health problems including liver failure and cancer during his 12 years, is alive today due to a new medication he started on...

  9. TV drug ad study

    BeachNurse replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    I am an experienced certified clinical research coordinator, so no, I am not ignorant enough to say that ALL drugs are life-saving. The ones that I work with ARE. "It's all about the money" ? No,...

  10. TV drug ad study

    BeachNurse replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of generalizations here. About the research study, aside from the JAMA/Wash.Post connections here (ironic), I would like to know what types of physicians were studied. Again it is still their...

  11. Massage for Fibromyalgia?

    BeachNurse posted a topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Does it work for any length of time or only during the massage? Any info would be great.

  12. Did Anyone Take Their Daughter or Son to Work Today?

    BeachNurse replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Strictly forbidden in my office..HIPPA

  13. what to do for pt in crisis

    BeachNurse replied to career seeker's topic in General Nursing

    This is tricky and just a guess. First of all, if the woman refuses treatment, the very first thing I would do is ask, "Is there someone else who can take care of/drive (child's name) home? Is there...

  14. TV drug ad study

    BeachNurse replied to sunnyjohn's topic in General Nursing

    Let me say that the physicians have the responsibility to prescribe medically-necessary medication. If they think a patient has, per your example, "severe depression", the patient should be evaluated...

  15. "resort" healthcare featured on 60 minutes

    BeachNurse replied to pixie-dust37's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, I've seen people here with no health insurance get free healthcare in the ER and community clinics where I have volunteered. Illegal immigrants get free health care paid out of taxpayer's...

  16. All You Lefty's Out there....

    BeachNurse replied to Melly1022's topic in General Nursing

    Same with me! Have to carry my purse on the left too or else it slides down my

  17. what can nurses do besides "nurse"?

    BeachNurse replied to Candidnt's topic in Nursing Career

    What about clinical research? My patient contact is mimimal..I see outpatients for their study visits. Lots o' paperwork, though. Best of luck to

  18. Clinical Research $$

    BeachNurse replied to Mayflye's topic in Research

    Hey again..I wanted to let you know that I sat down to read my ACRP Journal magazine and they had an article in there about CRA salaries. Apparently they quoted similar salary figures, and also gave...

  19. The fun side of peds

    BeachNurse replied to Honu0612's topic in Pediatric

    I also agree with elkpark. I have worked several sides of Peds and only did a peds psych rotation in nursing school. It actually made me feel crazy and I got a stress headache every single shift. I...

  20. Clinical Research $$

    BeachNurse replied to Mayflye's topic in Research

    Working at the site as a CCRC does not pay that well. I make less money than any floor nurse that I know, and that's with 5 years of experience plus my certification. The real $$ in research is,...

  21. infectious disease

    BeachNurse replied to powerpit's topic in Infectious Disease

    I find it extremely bizarre that she would have contracted Hep C from the NICU. Hep C is very rarely transmitted to the children of infected mothers..but I guess it's not impossible. It is most...

  22. How can you say you're not paid well?

    BeachNurse replied to malusport's topic in Emergency

    I agree that the OP should work as a nurse and then decide. I make less than $25/hr, but I work 9-5 hours, M-F, no nights, holidays, weekends, or call. None of my patients are critically ill. About...

  24. choosing a digital recorder

    BeachNurse replied to bookwormom's topic in Research

    Yes, I see that now. I am not very knowledgeable about this type of research and less knowledgeable about digital recorders, so I won't be much help! It sounds interesting. Good luck!

  25. choosing a digital recorder

    BeachNurse replied to bookwormom's topic in Research

    Just curious, but why are you doing interviews? I would think that a survey or questionnaire-type of tool would be far easier than
