  1. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    hypocaffeinemia replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    There was nothing subtle or insinuated in my post. Irrelevant, but I'd like to see your source anyways. Hopefully obtaining an RN involves finding the willpower to type the two extra keystrokes...

  2. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    In your opinion. Unlike childhood education, your attendance and participation as a student in a university or at a hospital during clinicals is not mandatory. If a school and its associated hospitals...

  3. Time effectiveness of NaHCo3 in TCA od?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to NecosMom's topic in General Nursing

    For starters, the physiology behind the wide QRS is that the TCA blocks the fast Na conduction channel in cardiac tissue, which slows depolarization. According to emedicine, NaHCO3 increases protein...

  4. Why does it take 1-2 years to get into a program?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to BabyFly's topic in General Nursing

    It takes 1-2 years because the amount of qualified applicants greatly exceeds the amount taken by the program in your area. You should look into accelerated BSN programs as you already have a

  5. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    hypocaffeinemia replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on who you're comparing to. Like I said, the median household income is $41000. By household, that's including dual-income

  6. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    The statutes pertaining to employment discrimination are the Civil Rights Act of 1967, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and the Pregnancy Non-discrimination act . None of these give protection for...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Finally2008's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    According to salary.com the 25th percentile is $55K and the 75th is $66.2K for a "staff nurse" in

  9. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    It only applies to children because childhood education is mandatory. There is nothing mandatory about specific college programs or clinicals at specific

  10. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Show me the statute, then. Title VII makes no mention of vaccination status. Also, even if Title VII mentioned vaccination, it isn't discrimination if it's a job requirement-- for instance, males...

  11. Houston RN pay?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    Okay, I see what you mean. I've never heard of a hospital giving time and a half for the last 4 hours every day-- we just get a small differential (I think the RN evening diff is like $2.00/hr here)....

  12. Nurses Make The Big Bucks

    hypocaffeinemia replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    They say that because nursing is a highly lucrative job for the amount of required education. There are very few associates or even bachelors programs that allow for one to make $55-80K nearly right...

  13. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it is. There is no federal protection from discrimination on the basis of vaccination

  14. PDA Help!!!!

    hypocaffeinemia replied to studentnurse4964's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    To be honest, I've used my PDA more at work than I have in clinicals. Often a nurse will ask me to look up a drip rate for a drug really quick, and it comes in handy to do the

  15. Houston RN pay?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't quite grasp what you mean. We typically work 36/48 at my facility, and the 8 on the second week is indeed time and a half-- of course, in reality the 36 week is closer to 40 counting pre/post...

  16. Good side job for RN?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    I actually have a bartending license and worked as one part time in college, so I say with some authority how overpaid they are. My friend makes around $35/hourly. By the way, I'm not out of school...

  17. Good side job for RN?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    One of my fellow students is a waitress/bartender at a very upscale restaurant in the area and actually makes more than she will start out as with her RN. Bartending is in my opinion the single most...

  18. Good side job for RN?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to neatnurse30's topic in General Nursing

    I plan to incorporate my photography as a personal business after I graduate and have more free time. I've done a significant amount for friends, family members, and various school events at my wife's...

  19. If anyone can clear it up for me..?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to BrklynNYgal's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    In Texas, according to our NPA you can delegate essentially any skill provided the person you are delegating to is competent in the skill, so whether or not specific skills can be delegated is often a...

  20. Houston RN pay?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to worldsas's topic in Texas Nursing

    I don't know of anybody making base of $40/hourly as a staff nurse around here. The caps seem to be in the $35-38 range from my anecdotal experiences with co-workers. I know that the (falling apart)...

  21. HIPPA rules and consent

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Epona's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    HIPPA is vague on this and from my experience the amount of information to be given varies with hospital policy. At my current facility, you may state their status (good, fair, etc.) if they are not a...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Dofarel's topic in International Nursing

  24. Silly question about what is considered a liquid

    hypocaffeinemia replied to queenjean's topic in General Nursing

    I want to note that the information I provided was for you question pertaining to fluid restrictions, not diet restrictions. I would certainly treat pudding as a "full liquid" if they had diet...
