i have heard the hospital I work for is instituting a specific no tolerance policy for nurses dating doctors within the same departments etc. Im just wondering if there are other policies like this in other hospitals specifically aimed at nurses and ...

Am I the only one having problems finding a pair of underwear that does not show when I bend over a patient or ones that don't leave a major panty line? What kinds of panties work with scrubs?

Hey guys im new to this forum! i just got into a nursing school in NM called Apollo college which is a brand new program and does not have NLNAC certification but they are seeking it and have already been approved by the NM state board of nursing. T...

Im just wondering if anyone has a standard practice of changing their scrubs before going home? Or if changing clothes would help with germ transfer?

The only reason I can think of a reason to require makeup is maybe to cover up pimples no patient wants to be taken care of by a nurse with huge red zits!! Just an assumption

the lovelace rep that came by to talk to us in class was with recruitment but thats all the info I have here at home I will try to get his number on monday. i think your wife may have to have her financial aid and admission packet complete before lo...

I would take the chem first because from what I remeber about micro it used a few of the chem principles!

I would check with your school because I too had red cross certification and had to retake AHA cpr? i did mine at one of the hospitals I will eventually be doing clinicals at!

Its every man/woman for themselves I would rather have an uncaring professor than an overcaring professor that was alwaysa watching my back!! Ive also had an overcaring A&P professor that asked me out!

If you do decide to go I would be very careful I have a friend that attended medical school on the same island and he said there is a large gang crime population he was robbed several times traveling from his apartment to school which he explained wa...

I gave up on studying this semester and got a C+ very stupid the class would have been much easier had I done the homework! Good thing I got into nursing school! Have Fun and just do the homework!

What kind of job is that for! Running to the gym scared!

Really you would think we are trying to get into med school the way they treat these programs!!

Our schedule is preset and not pretty its mon thru thur 8-5 with clinicals on friday from 7 to whenever!

The wait list here is 3 years at a community college or a very high GPA, volunteer work, and previous medical experience to get into the BSN program ! I got lucky and got accepted to a new adn program offered by a private college! the competition is...

looks like your starting this new job with a fresh attitude! Best of Luck!!!

They have a really great PDA for nurses forum which has a ton of helpful info! Goodluck!

That I would care about! Its amazing the things that people will do just to get lucky! I personally find it much more appealing to refrain from the urges of public lovin, but to each their own!!

Im not above performing personal care however I think it does somewhat distract the patients view of our ability to asses, and assist in their care plans. if a patient sees us changing their briefs and then admin IVs they tend to doubt our ability

I agree I too could care less who is doing anything with anyone as long as its keppt out of my face im fine. However this policy has people viewing nurses as the cause how does admin know its not the MD's fault?

I agree we all feel like the nurses are now being looked at as the instigators! If its aimed at us because of a few workplace relationships gone wrong between RN's and MD's then why not institute a policy addressing all workplace relationships! You...

The way it was tentatively explained by a NM is that it applies directly to the nurses im not sure about the MD's consequences.
