  1. Patient allergies and dislikes

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to azhiker96's topic in General Nursing

    It's a fine line. I generally list Reglan and wheat gluten as allergies when in reality I experience severe dystonic reactions to Reglan (which I suppose would not kill me) and I have Celiac (an...

  2. Shadyside Hospital SON Tuition Forgiveness

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Bobsdaughter's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    WHAT? When did this happen? I am a UPMC employee and I haven't heard about this. Will call Natalie tomorrow and clarify.

  3. BC3, Sewickley, UPMC Shadyside

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to osc9904's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am planning to sign my life away for 2 years; it's the only way I can go to school (I have maxed out on my undergrad aid with my first degree). I figure the worst thing that can happen is that I'd...

  4. Disturbed Energy Field

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    Maybe this is what's wrong with

  5. Nutrition....Spring 2008

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to amillender's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Is it just me, or is this class getting really

  6. Nutrition....Spring 2008

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to amillender's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also taking Nutrition, also a mom whose 1 year old never lets her study :/ I think the class is pretty interesting (and easy) so

  7. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to lifeisaflowergarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That would really depend on where you

  8. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to lifeisaflowergarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    True, but an RN with a BS or a BA is comparable to a BSN in qualifications; I mean, it's just general eds we're talking about here. I think, particularly for those who are interested in practice at...

  9. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to lifeisaflowergarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, and I was seriously considering Direct Entry Masters, but I want to explore my options in nursing before committing to a specialty. Again, the prereqs would eat up a lot of time that I could be...

  10. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to lifeisaflowergarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am actually out of undergrad financial aid, which makes an ABSN program very costly and, in my opinion, kind of a waste. I am doing a diploma RN program. I could pursue a BSN after that, but since...

  11. Already have a BA, Associate's RN or BSN? Question

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to lifeisaflowergarden's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on where you work. I'm in the same situation and I decided that the cost-effectiveness just doesn't cut it--I'd rather spend that extra time I'd be spending toward the BSN on my MSN...

  12. Am I too old to just be starting?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    Obviously someone who thinks working for "only" 15-20 years is short-term for a career is lacking

  13. Am I too old to just be starting?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    Are you

  14. I want to become a nurse midwife

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Like2bFrisky's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I believe Penn accepts new grads? I wish I could become a midwife. It's not a good schedule for a single mom, though

  15. Will a hospital pay for me to go to nursing school?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to easywitheyesclosed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, BlueMalibu, where are you where new grads make so much!? NPs don't even make that much here. . .I can't wait to move

  16. Will a hospital pay for me to go to nursing school?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to easywitheyesclosed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.

  17. UPMC jobs

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Look on the UPMC website and contact the recruiter for the hospital you're interested in; there is no hiring freeze for nurses. . .in fact, they're still holding job fairs for RNs and

  18. No financial Aid for second Bachelors degree?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You do not necessarily need a BSN to apply for an MSN program if you are an RN, though. I'm going that route (I have a BA and am attending a hospital-based RN program then applying directly to an MSN...

  19. my kid wants a sibling, I want to start nursing school

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to la mama 310's topic in General Students

    It's do-able, but really, from what you're saying, it sounds like your husband and child want a baby more than you

  20. Will a hospital pay for me to go to nursing school?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to easywitheyesclosed's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Look into hospital-based RN programs; the hospital where I work (in Pittsburgh) has its own nursing schools, and if you sign a 2 year contract they will pay it in its entirety. You could also go the...

  22. Children's UPMC HR

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to greygooseuria's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Yes, just keep bugging them! UPMC is so huge, it's easy to get lost in the

  23. Phlebotomy Training

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to MOMMACAT's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Just the course, and a exam. There are a few different associations that license phlebotomists, and they probably have different requirements. Mine is through

  24. Phlebotomy Training

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to MOMMACAT's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I am licensed as a phlebotomist, and (1) couldn't find a job when I finished school (in Chicago or Pittsburgh) and (2) on average saw $9ish an hour to start. Every employer I applied with wanted...

  25. UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing - Evening/Weekend Program

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Nadster's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That's what I was thinking. I already feel guilty enough working full time, and now wanting to start school part time, when I could be spending that time with my son. . .but when it's all over, I can...
