  1. Fall 2010 applicants for ccac

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to rebecca6890's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Thanks to all of you for your responses. I have some of the books from the second semester left, but most from the 1st I've sold already. I'd say that Shadyside's the same deal book-wise as what...

  2. Fall 2010 applicants for ccac

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to rebecca6890's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    DonK/others: I'm looking for info about the flexibility of the program. I dropped out of Shadyside because I am a VERY single parent (no shared custody/visitation, no family in the area), and things...

  3. UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    If any of you want to buy my SSON uniforms, XS petite, PM me. I only wore them for one semester. I have 2 tops, I pair of pants, and a lab coat. I also have a not-as-nice S top and S regular pair of...

  4. Which Chicago community college will get me my ADN quickest??

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Poosh's topic in Illinois Nursing

    That is ridiculous advice. She already has a bachelors degree; if she goes on to get an RN through any route she can go on to get a Masters without even obtaining a BSN. That said, I don't know that...

  5. frustrated with "online" NP schools

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Betty004's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I think one aspect of this conversation that's being overlooked is the comparison to med school. Well, this ISN'T med school. Along that vein: I plan to practice in a rural area where there is a...

  6. is rape reportable?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Holly.G's topic in General Nursing

    Also, this is not to say that the patient must file a police report; if they choose not to cooperate/press charges, they certainly have the right not to deal with the criminal justice

  7. is rape reportable?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Holly.G's topic in General Nursing

    It depends on your state. In Illinois, where I worked as a Rape Crisis Counselor, if a patient presents in an ER as a sexual assault victim the staff were required to report to the police (who rarely...

  8. if u had to choose another career in healthcare besides nursing, what would it be?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Public Health, which I may end up doing. . . As for something I won't end up doing: I always said I should've been a

  9. online nurse practitioner

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to almostarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    One of the reasons I'm looking into Drexel is because I have a bachelors in non-nursing. I believe Frontier will accept this as well. I haven't finished wading through all of the other programs yet....

  10. NP Salary vs. RN salary

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Health-Nut's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Notice how it goes down the line in hospitals: Nurse aides become jealous/judgmental when another aide decides to pursue nursing school, RNs are unsupportive of each other when another pursues a...

  11. online nurse practitioner

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to almostarn's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Is anyone here familiar with Drexel's online

  12. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    At any rate. . .does any one know if there's any progress being made on

  13. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I didn't say homebirth was illegal; she asked why CNMs didn't do homebirths. It's illegal for CNMs attend homebirths in PA. I assume it's considered "practicing medicine" stepping-on-toes nonsense....

  14. Is there a reason why most CNMs don't do homebirths?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to klone's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I live in

  15. RN to Midwife

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to Claire_Fraser's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    You said you worked in rural PA. . .Is there any progress toward legalizing homebirth at this

  16. Drug Testing

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Is it my job to educate NURSES on the Regan-era "War on Drugs" propaganda of "instantaneous addiction"? The SMOKE CRACK ONCE AND YOU'LL BE ADDICTED AND DIE

  17. Drug Testing

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    This logic is asinine. Comparing BREAKING THE LAW to smoke pot to diverting a patients meds is not even comparable. How many nurses break other laws every day? How many nurses drive over the speed...

  18. Drug Testing

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Really? REALLY? You obviously don't have a lot of personal experience with cocaine,

  19. Drug Testing

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to CapeCodMermaid's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm not about to say that every hospital or agency is like this, BUT. . .my father was a manager at a facility (home health, which was owned by a larger hospital) where he knew that the level of THC...

  20. What are peoples thoughts on crnas

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to ITALY123's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Pitt's anesthesia program has their own website (I'm not going into anesthesia nor interested in it AT ALL. . .chem is about at the bottom of my list of interests). There's a FAQ section as well....

  21. Working on a smoke-free campus

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to ivorybunny's topic in General Nursing

    Discrimination against smokers: cry me a river. We're employed at will, and we're employed as advocates of health. I agree with the other non-smokers above. I don't get to leave the unit (unless I...

  22. UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I will give you all one piece of advice that you can either heed or ignore, if you'd like: if they have you buy a "med term" book for Nursing 101, we brought it to class once. And the Relationship...

  23. UPMC Shadyside 2010 hopefuls

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    IKEA!

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to kbm318's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Don't buy a bus pass; you can ride the bus for free once you get your Chatham

  25. What specialty do you want and not want to work in?

    r0b0tafflicti0n replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm not really sure what I want to do. I float right now as a Tech, and I tend to really like: - transplant units, ICU/stepdown units (esp trauma stepdown, Neurotrauma stepdown, etc), ED. We don't...
