  1. If you are drunk, don't drive!

    ShemRN replied to chuck1234's topic in General Nursing

    What I want to know, is why Doctors don't lose THEIR ability to practice if they get a

  2. Myers-Briggs Type

    ShemRN replied to piscesguy's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken the test twice. Once ENFJ, the second INFJ. Most of the categories are really close to the middle though, as I

  3. Crushing K-Dur

    ShemRN replied to Zee_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was told by another nurse to break the "bind" of the drug by soaking it in cola for a bit. It disolves the binding agent of the sustained release particles, but doesn't release them --- is the gist...

  4. Best Brand of Shoes

    ShemRN replied to SwtTxLdy's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone's feet are different. Try on a good selection of different styles if you can to see what's right for you. And don't forget to see what your hospital/clinical policy dictates you can wear! I...

    Hi - thanks for asking. Unisex top in L - $15 includes PCC RN patch - already sewn on.

  7. Kaplan vs. Saunders

    ShemRN replied to ArmyKitten's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    To Canada, you can purchase Saunder's NCLEX guides from Amazon.com or other online book sellers (for less than $50). Your own bookstore could probably special order it for you as well. Kaplan is a...

  8. Kaplan vs. Saunders

    ShemRN replied to ArmyKitten's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Of course test taking skills are a must, but there's a lot of fact based questions on there as well that have nothing to do with prioritization or picking out the real question in the sentence (or at...

  9. Kaplan vs. Saunders

    ShemRN replied to ArmyKitten's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Try and relax first of all! I would just go over prioritization (everyone's been saying their test was heavy on that), main diseases or disorders (like Graves, diabetes, even sickle cell), diets...

  10. anyone go to PCC

    ShemRN replied to fawnfalls's topic in California Nursing

    P.S. I have uniforms I'm trying to sell if you know anyone interested in supplementing what they already

  11. anyone go to PCC

    ShemRN replied to fawnfalls's topic in California Nursing

    It's true - you are out if you don't pass your dosage calc exam at the beginning. We lost one person at the beginning of 3rd for that reason. They give you 2 (maybe 3?) chances. Also - I don't think...

  12. Help needed!! --New and jobless RN

    ShemRN replied to Rosewine's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I keep hearing mixed reviews on hiring out of state grads - but regardless of where the grads come from, oportunities are certainly less. I've asked what area you are in so I can maybe forward you...

  13. Good places to work?

    ShemRN replied to Undecided7's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Salem Hospital http://www.salemhospital.org/ I only know the recruiter is nice, but haven't heard anything

  14. Good places to work?

    ShemRN replied to Undecided7's topic in Oregon Nursing

    OHSU has internship programs that might help with changing specialties also. "Once hired into a specific job position, additional theory, learning opportunities and caring preceptors are provided for...

  15. BSN program pre-req changes

    ShemRN replied to bowkerj's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Wow - I hope you're right about OHSU cahnging their chemistry requirements! I looked last week at the RN to BSN program and saw they wanted 15 units of chem! I took only one chem class since that...

  16. Help needed!! --New and jobless RN

    ShemRN replied to Rosewine's topic in Oregon Nursing

    I'm in the same boat...but mine's further south right now! I applied for Oregon endorsement a few weeks ago (should've done Oregon directly though since I knew I was moving up after graduating) but...

  17. Not work related ...

    ShemRN replied to Sarah, RNBScN's topic in California Nursing

    I agree with your friends, stay central! Even if it's in a lesser quality hotel - you'll have a much easier time seeing/doing. And make sure you wear good walking shoes! SF is a very walkable, easy...

  18. SO.CAL Kaiser Nurses: What is Kaiser Like?

    ShemRN replied to jenpstudentrn's topic in California Nursing

    I think all Kaiser locations must be good EXCEPT Kaiser Sunset (in Hollywood). We did our Peds rotation through there and it was INSANE. One RN actually had to report herself after she battered a...

  19. anyone go to PCC

    ShemRN replied to fawnfalls's topic in California Nursing

    I graduated from PCC's RN program this past December. The program was difficult, as I expect all RN programs are, but I felt (along with many classmates) that more than just being difficult, the...

  20. Need advice on moving to CA!!!

    ShemRN replied to flrn18's topic in California Nursing

    Consider working as a traveling nurse. My aunt did and her rent in a VERY nice apt in Pasadena was completely paid for by the agency (plus travelers always make lots more money!). She was also able...

  21. UCLA New Grad Program

    ShemRN replied to Katie612's topic in California Nursing

    I have a friend interviewing for the New Grad OR program tomorrow. She lives in South Pasadena (where she knows and LOVES her neighborhood), and refuses to move the Westside where rent is INSANELY...

  22. Kaplan vs. Saunders

    ShemRN replied to ArmyKitten's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Saunder's is what I used (and passed with). I kept thinking during the NCLEX that I wished I'd used the Saunders Comprehensive Review Guide more though (I was using the Saunders Q&A book...

  23. Portland new grad RN oversaturation?

    ShemRN replied to smilin_gp's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Is everyone who's a new grad looking for transition programs? I certainly am - but at this time there's NOTHING open and I've looked from Eugene to Portland (I'll be in the Corvallis area to start,...

  24. Anybody else taken NCLEX-RN in CA?

    ShemRN replied to spejsa's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Took my test on a Thursday and knew that I could check the California BRN site for license verification before anything would reach me before mail. My friend who also took it on Thursday knew by...
