  1. Nursing school at age 50

    Oz2 replied to maddy50's topic in General Students

    I started school at 45 and regret it completely. Go work as a nurses aide to get a good idea of what the job entails before you make a decision. Just because you can do something doesn't always mean...

  2. About to start Nursing School and having doubts

    Oz2 replied to wishywashy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would strongly recommend you listen to your gut feelings, OP. I so wish I had. There are many different healthcare positions. What about OT, PT, radiology tech, etc... Excellent post,

    Oz2 replied to rachelita's topic in General Nursing

    Four years from now would you rather be a nurse with a masters degree or the floor nurse that you are now without the

  6. How do you administer Mucomyst orally?

    Oz2 replied to IlovenursingRN's topic in General Nursing

    So feeling so desperate and hopeless that you want to kill yourself is not a 'legit' reason? You must know there is something inherently wrong with this attitude, or you wouldn't have predicted a...

  7. Colleges spitting out new nurse without any training?

    Oz2 replied to fulzgold's topic in General Nursing

    My clinical skills are definitely lacking, but I can give one h*** of a PowerPoint presentation! My nursing education was definitely NOT what I was expecting when I forked out that

  8. Is This Possible??

    Oz2 replied to mrscoozy's topic in General Nursing

    lmao...So that's what you call

  10. Second guessing myself after watching foley catheter insertion video

    Oz2 replied to Elizabeth K.'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm female and have had a Foley inserted....it wasn't painful at all. What kind of video was this? Seems like this would be low on the list of painful procedures unless there are extenuating...

  11. What ONE thing is most important in a new health care system?

    Oz2 replied to country mom's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto. Remove the third party profiteers. I want a single-payer

    Thank you ChristineN and

  13. Things that leave you stunned.

    Oz2 replied to Pepper The Cat's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask a question (I'm not a nurse yet)? What would happen if you let it all drain out? I would feel nervous about clamping it off....like maybe it would burst her

  15. Positive ppd test

    Oz2 replied to foster's mom's topic in General Nursing

    Sunny, where I live, if you have a positive TB test, you can go to the health department to get a chest x-ray or the blood test (they gave me my choice). It's likely the Health Department in your...

  16. job offer dilema

    Oz2 replied to pedspnp's topic in General Nursing

    Would your family not understand your absence since you have been offered a job that you describe as one you really want? Or do they, unlike you, put themselves

  17. Accelerated bsn program vs traditional-will my grades lower signif.

    Oz2 replied to ChiropractortoRN's topic in General Nursing

    In my accelerated program a 93 is an A and an 84 is a B. My grades did go down to a B average (started with a 3.86). It was the same for many of my classmates. Very intense. I would go the...

  18. HELP!! solve math problem

    Oz2 replied to GipsGrl's topic in General Nursing

    I think once you reconstitute it is should be 600 mg/50 ml. Then work out the problem. (Although I'm not sure about that 4 cc; would it then be 600 mg/54 ml? - I've not had it presented that way...

  19. Abandonment

    Oz2 replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, Bx! And let me add...I'll have a witness sign too. I agree,

  20. Abandonment

    Oz2 replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    Why is it that surgeons can refuse to perform surgery they feel will result in catastrophic results, but nurses are left with ambiguity regarding their patients and, more pertinent to this thread,...

  21. Abandonment

    Oz2 replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    Wow. This seems like very bad advice. Once you accept an assignment, you are responsible for care, which would guarantee that you could be charged with abandonment if you try to leave in the middle...

  22. Abandonment

    Oz2 replied to kamani811's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question. How are you supposed to know that whatever assignment you are about to take is unsafe unless you actually take

  23. Nursing Implications vs. Nursing Interventions

    Oz2 replied to medgirlRN's topic in General Students

    I think of it like this... Implications: What I need to be aware of concerning this disease/drug. Interventions: What I'm going to do about

  24. Taking a full ICU patient load only 2 weeks into orientation

    Oz2 replied to Mommy_of_3_in_AL..RN's topic in General Nursing

    That's so funny...I was just saying that word last night and thinking how I like to say it. I don't think you should play dumb. But don't let your idea (or their ideas) that they think you can handle...

  25. What books did you keep??

    Oz2 replied to werlp's topic in General Nursing

    Me too, Mom35! I can't imagine getting rid of them. You only end up with a fraction of the price you paid if you bought them new. It's not worth
