Patients can easily ID you? Try being 6'3", only male on the floor with a balding forehead and the longest ponytail in the unit. Plus my name is on every board in every room on the unit. I'm there for 12 to 13 hours. Think I got you beat on being ide...

All Covid all the time unit. Some ways not as bad. Many aren't as sick, but the ones that are sick appear to be younger, Many very sad situations.

Not all Covid patients on death beds are in ICU. We're the Covid Cohort in my hospital Step-down and telemetry unit. Our IMU is full of patients who in NORMAL times would be in ICU. Many, most actually, of my Tele patients are on HFNC or Bipap and w...

Um. Biden was always the winner in Maricopa County. The question was always whether any fraudulent activity went on in the county to the tune of more than 11,000 votes.

I came from Mississippi to Texas in May to look for a job. I have 3 years Med-Surg experience. I went to two hospitals in Northwest Houston suburbia, received two interviews, one on the spot, and have been offered two jobs. Took the first job offered...

what unit? been there 3 years now in med-surg.

Jarnaes, "Screw the calling" all you want, but it is exactly why I became a nurse. I gladly took a $30,000 per year pay cut for the "calling." We all come to our professions and passions in very different ways. I believe (warning: opinion, which of c...

Nursing is my third (or is it fourth?) career. Unless I go back to medical school at 55 (not likely) it will be my last. Just bury me with my stethimascope, my red pen, and a couple of vials of MSO4.

Where do you work? I don't want to go somewhere that does not provide some sort of corrective procedure before disciniplary action.

Just one of the girls again. the other didn't make sense.

Ladies? Oh, well. Just of the girls again.

Unfortunately, taking a scheduled medicine (pain med?) for which you have no script is a very serious situation and may very well be sent to the MBON. If it is, make sure you have legal representation to safeguard your rights in any hearing or invest...

I've worked with Hinds grads, grads from Holmes, MC, UMC, USM, Alcorn, Delta State, etc. It really does not matter what school you attend. What matters is the nurse you become. When people tell you that you learn more about being a nurse in your firs...

I picked neutral for my own reason, not those listed above. I think that if someone can be talked out of nursing by telling them the truth of what they will do, then they should be. If someone believes that becoming a nurse is a good way to make dece...

May 2008 grad from Ridgeland campus. I was 47 years old when I started, and at 50, I have just completed my first year as a registered nurse. I was NOT the oldest accepted into the class, just the oldest to graduate.

Hmmm, a CCNE accredited diploma mill. Interesting.

MDs read previous orders and the Progress Notes in the chart. Leaving a message physically in the Progress Notes and a sticky in the orders are the best you can do sometimes. RNs have more to do, and more important things to do, than to be a messenge...

Zenman, you do know that Hamils moved to a brand new building. They're not in the rickety, old house anymore. The food is still good though. (I live less than a mile from Hamil's.)

Tell me what you think. (Opening shot of a man from the neck up.) MAN: If the game's on the line, every team has someone they want to have the ball and the game on their shoulders. In the NBA finals, you want the ball in Michael Jordan's ha...

I've lived in the Jackson area all but two years of my life. It's just my wife and I, so I'm not worried about the night life. The Hub City is 1 hour from the gulf, 1 1/2 hours from The Big Easy, and three hours from Florida beaches. I'm also a big U...

Starting pay for hospitals in the Jackson area is 18.50 for new grads. I do not know about Madison County Medical Center, but they are owned by the same people that own River Oaks, Central Mississippi, and Rankin which is now known as Crossgates Rive...

Canyon College is a degree mill. A nursing degree without NLN or CCNE is useless. If you must get a nursing degree without professional accreditation, then go with Governor's State, Walden U., or Aspen. These at least are regionally or nationally acc...

my question is one I have for myself: "With pay $2.00 higher away from Jackson, why am I still here?"

Purchase requirements = about $1000 in books plus uniforms, stethiscope, BP meter (can't pronounce, so how can I spell it), and lots of gasoline for the commute. As far as the schedule of classes, forget what you see on the bulletin. I was in Ridgela...

I made in the low 800s on the HESI exit exam, which was NOT required for graduation. 75 questions and four agonizing days after NCLEX, I passed. How did HESI do evaluating my potential for passing NCLEX?
