Just an update: I completed the online course at UC Riverside for certification as a Sexual Assault Examiner, SAE. The content was confusing, the internship requirements are almost impossible. I had...
An elderly female patient was admitted to the hospital with anemia, R/O GI bleed, dehydrated, c/o pain to right jaw. Admit orders were NPO, type and cross pending H and H, MRI/CT of jaw, rule out...
Yesterday I got a call from my neighbor seeking some help. It seems that the prior evening a friend and her children fled an abusive home and sought refuge with my neighbor. The woman and her children...
More of this "educational deficit" baloney I have been dealing with for 2 years! I was just told I need a Speech 102, something like a critical thinking communication course. I am also dealing with a...
Take a few pre reqs while your waiting. Just make darn sure you get your degree and your diploma before you complete the 2 semesters. Also, be visable from time to time on campus. It really helps if...
I graduated from there and am still waiting for my diploma. I had a great experience and suggest you keep your cell phone handy as they go down the list during orientation and may just call you if...
That's why I say "Nursing shortage my A$$". I am starting to believe it's not what you know but who you know. I agree that registry would get you some shifts and it's a great way to learn about...
Eliza, if you allow this bullying to continue, the terrorists have won. The day shift nurses are just jealous because you are new and you most likely have everything under control. It's NICU sweety....
Look at us!!!!! Too funny. Buddy Boy, guy nurses are SMOKING HOT. I don't care if they are straight, gay or in between. They have got all the great qualities that we are all looking for as a friend,...
That is compassionate and I am sure the oncoming nurse is grateful that you went that extra mile. You sound very proactive in providing patient care. And I am sure that the patient appreciates your...

I'm currently researching the current statistics on Tennessee crimes, ok not so current, it's dated 1999 but even then there were almost 2000 sexual assaults reported during that year in the Metro and...
If only that were true.... but all States will NOT issue you a license simply because you were licensed in another State and have a clean record. And your check doesn't bounce! There are educational...
She and her children are continually thriving. She is going to court today to get a protection order as her husband has been bothering her at work and calling and leaving threatening voice mail. Her...
El, no not Nashville proper. I agree with you. When I was living downtown the law enforcement were very proactive and a wonderful representation of what the city had to offer. The mounted officers...
Dee, I see by your responses that you have had extensive personal experience at the hands of this issue. I suggest that it may color your perception but not cloud the discussion. Your suggestions are...
TN, first this woman is a friend of a neighbor, she and her husband have shown us an incredible sense of friendship and kindness since we bought this old house. They have demonstrated time and again...
Dee, in this case time was of the essence. A court date would have been weeks away, by then he may have the opportunity to destroy her or her childrens property. I guess you are right, justice would...
Thanks for your reply. It truly cemented my opinion. I come from California. I remember vividly hearing the 911 calls from Nicole Simpson, wife of OJ Simpson. We were all riveted by the televised...
The wheels are being put in motion to establish a "safe place" clinic however right now it's just 2 RN's with limited contacts but lot's of experience. Stay
