  1. Should the H1N1 Vaccine be mandatory for Healthcare Professionals?

    Yin Yang replied to Brian's topic in Disaster Preparation

    lamazeteacher- that seems pretty ridiculous. Likening a mandatory flu vaccine to mandatory seatbelt laws is laughable at best. A requirement to wear a mask is closer to having to wear a seatbelt....

  2. Clock OUT and IN for lunch in a NICU???

    Yin Yang replied to Jerico's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You must be at an HCA facility...lol. Ours just started that too, and it is ridiculous. I work nights, so we have to be extra careful, because if you take your mandatory lunch less than 4 hours...

  3. El Centro 2nd Semester Drug List

    Yin Yang replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hey there - I was pretty organized, especially by the end of it. 1st semester is fundamentals - really pretty boring - just get through it. The syllabus is a good place to start if you want to get a...

  4. El Centro 2nd Semester Drug List

    Yin Yang replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Let me know if there is anything else you need - I saved pretty much everything from every semester.

  5. El Centro 2nd Semester Drug List

    Yin Yang replied to ProudRN2B's topic in Texas Nursing

    Actually, I do - I'll try and attach it here. I'm not sure if it's a partial or complete, but if you go to the community tabs on e-campus, & go to the 2nd semester syllabus, the complete should...

  6. Management of violent Patient's in ED ?

    Yin Yang replied to fawnsternurse's topic in Emergency

    He doesn't threaten them. We have patients that are truly out of control, detoxing, etc. They do get violent, try to enter other patients room, screaming, and sometimes restraints are not...

  7. El Centro RN fall 2009

    Yin Yang replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    Having completed El Centro, I can tell you it is a fact that they are hard on you, and they seem very uncaring about whether the changes they make put you out or not. But, you can do it if you have...

  8. El Centro Orientation Today

    Yin Yang replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    Ms Beecham is a really intelligent lady - she is tough though. She will find your weakness and beat it out of you. She can be verbally harsh, but just accept it and don't make the same mistake...

  9. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Spill - how is it going for you? Somehow I didn't get the notice when you and jaxia posted in feb & april - but you did get a job! Are there still some from your class that don't have one? I'm...

  10. Management of violent Patient's in ED ?

    Yin Yang replied to fawnsternurse's topic in Emergency

    We have one doc that will go so far as to intubate them if they present a danger to staff or themselves....we try to warn the patient when he's on that they better straighten

  11. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    I found Jaxia on the BON!!! She passed. Congratulations!!!! Jaxia,

  12. Politely Refusing to Share Grades

    Yin Yang replied to Cilantrophobe's topic in General Students

    I just finished nursing school, and it was never a big deal. We all were pretty open about it. Everyone wanted reassurance. I haven't ready any stories about negative outcomes of sharing grades. I...

  13. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's that the current proficiency exams place the minimum bar too low. Maybe it needs to be raised some so that a higher level of proficiency and COMMUNICATION is required to pass it. Just a...

  14. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    I know - it's crazy to think about, but I'm excited! I do the PBDS tomorrow - we already took the BKAT-ER. Lots of stuff!

  15. Crocs Specialist - experiences?

    Yin Yang replied to MiaLyse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    We have a Croc's outlet in town (Allen, TX), so I went there. You can also get them online too though. You print out this foot print thing...but I'd still go try a pair on for size because they fit...

  16. How's the Economy for RN's?

    Yin Yang replied to vetiver's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm in Dallas, Texas, and here, things are pretty good. Pretty much everyone in our class had jobs by middle of October and didn't graduate until Dec. 10. We just about all got into internships (ER,...

  17. Crocs Specialist - experiences?

    Yin Yang replied to MiaLyse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ok, I will preface this by saying that I swore I would NEVER wear Crocs because they are flat out ugly. However (you knew it was coming), someone convinced me to try on a pair of theirs, and I was...

  18. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Thanks Ally!!! Well, one week down! And though there are not any exciting stories yet, it has been interesting. Everyone from the CEO down seems super nice! It's just been mostly policy/procedure...

  19. SURVEY for 75 questions on NCLEX RN

    Yin Yang replied to Ng74's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took it on Jan 13 (graduated Dec. 10) and got 75 questions - 3 SATA, 1 math. It took me 52 minutes - 2 days later, I passed! So far everyone in my class that has taken it has had 75 questions,...

  20. El Centro/ Northlake-----Spring 07

    Yin Yang replied to Spill's topic in General Students

    Thanks! I'll still be around though - fear not. I'm too much of a mommy to do otherwise. LOL Yang,

  21. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    If patients are complaining that they cannot understand your english, that is not being racist or making fun of your accent. That is the patient making an honest request to have their rights at...

  22. ED nurse with herniated disk needs advice in changing career...

    Yin Yang replied to Canadian Girl's topic in Emergency

    I had a horrible epidural experience when I had my daughter, so I was terrified of the steroid injection. I managed to not get it, but I did physical therapy 2 hours a day sometimes 4 days a week. I...

  23. ED nurse with herniated disk needs advice in changing career...

    Yin Yang replied to Canadian Girl's topic in Emergency

    I've had a similar situation. I herniated L4-L5 in Oct. 2006, and have several others bulging at 1-2 mm. I literally could not walk, or even roll myself over in bed for weeks (couldn't even get on...

  24. Scope of Practice, Blood, Vitals

    Yin Yang replied to maximundo's topic in General Nursing

    Or, call the BON in your state. They should be able to give you a link or a quick run down fairly easily!

  25. Sooo tired of patients complaining about foreign nurses' accents....

    Yin Yang replied to nervousnurse's topic in General Nursing

    You sound a little angry there...although everyone has an accent of some type, learning to speak clearly, without an accent that keeps you from being understood, would be the goal. Calm down and...
