  1. Super Obese

    JeanettePNP replied to anotherone's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Viva right above you explained quite well some of the factors that may have caused them to "get like that." If we recognize alcholism as a disease and drug abuse as a disease it's about time we...

  2. HRSA/ Nurse Corps Loan Repayment Program

    JeanettePNP replied to wife&mommyRN's topic in General Nursing

    So let me see if I get this straight. You find a job first, and then apply for HRSA loan repayment, which may or may not be granted. And once you get the loan reimbursement you need to commit to stay...

  3. The cases that break your heart

    JeanettePNP replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    One of the first cases I saw as a student during our pediatric rotation was an 8mo baby who was thrown against the wall by his mother's significant other. The baby survived but with extensive...

  4. Pseudo Munchausen parents...

    JeanettePNP replied to wooh's topic in Pediatric

    I can't speak for every facebook page, but as a parent of a child with special needs (and intermittent blogger) I think that many parents really just need a vehicle to share updates about their child...

  5. dream job vs. paycut

    JeanettePNP replied to 8781RN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I don't know which part of the country you're in but I find it hard to fathom that a family of three is just scraping by with two

  6. NP, hospital or doctors office?

    JeanettePNP replied to karaleighNP's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    What do you mean by "missing out"? Each specialty has its own skill

  7. What is wrong with these kids? (Mystery Diagnosis)

    JeanettePNP replied to Double-Helix's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    It's also possible that these cases are unrelated and any similarities are coincidental. I found this helpful article on viral encephalitis. Viral encephalitis - New York Methodist

  8. Which Specialty Get the Most New Grad Applicants?

    JeanettePNP replied to Morningdew2112's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I think 85% sounds way high. Maybe 15% of my class had an interest in l&d. Maybe she meant all the specialties put

  9. Want to quit nursing school.

    JeanettePNP replied to dpf112's topic in General Students

    LOL. Are you a parent yet? You may one day find yourself in that "different time" when money is really, really important. Especially when you don't have anyone else to bail you

  10. Do volunteer RN positions count as experience?

    JeanettePNP replied to Misseslloyd's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    No, they will not count it as experience. However, it is a good way to keep up your nursing skills as well as to form relationships that may eventually help you get a job. And even if they don't... at...

  11. This is just very unfair, not sure about nursing future

    JeanettePNP replied to reesespoon's topic in General Students

    How many credit hours were the two original classes, and how many credit hours is the combined class? In the scheme of things having to retake one class unecessarily is not the be all and end all of a...

  12. What is wrong with these kids? (Mystery Diagnosis)

    JeanettePNP replied to Double-Helix's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    OP, what state are you in? Any exposure to wildlife, pets, insects? What about the soil, water, etc -- could this be environmental? You've got us all so curious and I hope you'll be back to post the...

  13. omg! Bad day! Failed my AcLS recert....

    JeanettePNP replied to jalws's topic in Emergency

    I've never heard of anyone failing acls. Usually the instructor will give you some remediation and give you another opportunity to pass. Kinda

  14. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    JeanettePNP replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't know which professors are still there. I was there 4 years ago (can't believe it's 4 years!). Job search is very, very tough and don't expect much help from school. Try to get as much out of...

  15. Discrimination against males in the nursing profession.

    JeanettePNP replied to Halim F. Dagher's topic in Men in Nursing

    Males are not discriminated against. They are given preferential treatment in the nursing profession, from admission to nursing programs, to scholarship opportunities, and job applications. Males do...

  16. Do internal applicants usually get preference? What is your experience?

    JeanettePNP replied to LM NY's topic in New York Nursing

    In what position would you be working? IMO taking a pct course without actually working as a pct would be a waste of time and

  17. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    JeanettePNP replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    If you want a female uniform shirt, sz L, I have 2 to sell. What else would you like to

  18. Is it true that you can check if your classmate passed or failed the NCLEX?

    JeanettePNP replied to itsdebraanne's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    You won't know they failed unless you knew for a fact that they applied for licensure in that state and sat for the exam on a particular

  19. Big dreams with much disappointment ...sigh!

    JeanettePNP replied to Dreaming4acute87's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm sorry you're having such a rough time and I know what it's like to have to settle for something other than what you really want to do in life. So many of us have been there and are there still....

  20. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    JeanettePNP replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think it's worth taking public transportation from Suffolk. It would take at least 1.5 hrs each way and the lirr fare can really add

  21. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    JeanettePNP replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    I don't think you need to worry about the school of nursing closing. There is some talk about closing some of the inpt units at downstate (in addition to

  22. New York Presbyterian New Grad Nurse Program

    JeanettePNP replied to NewGrad01's topic in New York Nursing

    I really wish that nurses would finally call these hospitals bluff and NOT rush back to apply for the jobs they will graciously consider you for after getting your year's experience elsewhere. If...

  23. SUNY Downstate ABSN Summer 2013

    JeanettePNP replied to danib07's topic in New York Nursing

    Overall, yes, i was happy with the program. People in my class had various complaints but in every program there will be things to complain about, and for the price you really can't do better than...

  25. Internal Revenue Service: Congratulations on your graduation

    JeanettePNP replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Can you please explain how and where you're making $80-90k in an SNF? Because I'm being offered in that range as an
