  1. I need advice please! Urgent.

    In a perfect world, you are correct, both grammatically and financially. In reality, I suspect that a student pursing a 3rd degree without working in either of the first 2 fields will likely be...
  2. I may be misunderstanding your post, but it sounds like students at this program begin clinicals in their senior year? If so,
  3. BAD Reference

    While it's not the best response, sometimes an interviewer will say this to get an especially persistent applicant out of the office or off the phone when they just won't take no for an answer. It's...
  4. Student, mom, wife... In that order

    Please re-consider your priorities (as listed in your title.) Your husband is an adult. He can handle less attention temporarily, but please always keep your kids first, no matter what...school,...
  5. BAD Reference

    The suggestion to submit a second application was a polite brush off. I've used it myself when a candidate just wouldn't take "no" for an answer. I interviewed a young man recently who bombed his...
  6. He has had recent visits to both the PCP and peds. neurosurgeon. Can you relay this information to them and ask if they would like to see the baby, or have you reassess and report back to
  7. How much trouble am I in?

    Thank you, RNNPICU! You said very well what I meant. I agree
  8. How much trouble am I in?

    I think we can all agree that the OP restarting her hubby's IV was not the best course of action. And we have read many posts chiding her for not "going up the chain of command." While that may have...
  9. BAD Reference

    Just to clarify, anyone can sue anyone else for anything. You are correct that legal precedent indicates that a lawsuit over a reference won't be successful unless the writer of the reference...
  10. How much trouble am I in?

    This! I would make very clear to Big Hospital that you will mount an equal and opposite reaction. If they agree in writing to let this go, so will you. If they decide to throw the book at you, you...
  11. The holidays and legal issues

    I'm sorry you had a reaction to a snack at work, but it seems odd to me that an adult with known food allergies would choose to eat an unknown food without asking about ingredients. I don't see that...
  12. The holidays and legal issues

    Again, just my personal opinion, but I don't think the ingredient lists are necessary. This isn't a preschool classroom where the kiddos don't know what they can or can't eat, let alone what is in a...
  13. premature infant hyperalimentation

    Thank you for considering the well being of this little guy! I'm not sure that a simple yes or no answer will suffice. He will be at 40-41 weeks gestational age at discharge, which, unfortunately...
  14. The holidays and legal issues

    I don't claim any legal knowledge, but I'm touched by your sentiment and desire to sincerely thank those with whom you work. I never bring religion or politics into daily work, but I do give gifts to...
  15. Failed Nclex - Can I apply for reciprocity?

    There is no such thing as reciprocity. One state does not have to honor the privilege to practice granted by any other state. Licensing requirements vary quite a bit from state to state and in order...
  16. Epinephrine IV or IM in this situation.

    This! Remember that Epi is a short-acting drug, and that the duration of effect of the bee sting may out last the duration of action of the Epi-Pen. Once the Epi-Pen is given and effects are seen,...
  17. "No nit"...no more!!!!

    Does it occur to this nit wit that excluding students needlessly from school is costing his district money? I assume that most school districts receive at least part of their funding from state...
  18. Hurt and Betrayed

    MeiDei began her original post with the following information: "A fellow student, whom I've know for a year and trusted, betrayed me and divulged my personal health information to other classmates...
  19. Health Insurance costs

    This response is a far cry from what you posted in # 22. Please be honest and forthright. Paying bills out of pocket is not the same as having a certificate of self-insurance. Your previous answer...
  20. Health Insurance costs

    You are referring to the individual mandate as a means of enforcing responsibility for one's own healthcare expenses, which we know is ineffective. There is a simple solution to your above stated...
  21. More Autistic Students

    I don't know if others have seen this, but I have 2 students who are known to have other medical diagnoses, but whom the school has labeled with autism because it fits better into their planning and...
  22. Hurt and Betrayed

    To MeiDei, I am sorry that this is happening. School is stressful enough without unnecessary drama on the side. Regardless of what this classmate said about you, factual or not, and regardless of...
  23. Narcan for School Nurses?

    I am not aware of any pending legislation in my state, but I'll check. Frankly, I would be supportive of it. We have an asthma/anaphylaxis protocol, and give Diastat and Glucagon without any real...
  24. No one here can possibly answer your question. Please seek the advice of an attorney. Good luck to
  25. teenagers and pot

    I'm going to sound like a COB, and will gladly accept the title. I believe what you saw is a real, albeit unintended, consequence of the movement to decriminalize/legalize recreational pot use....
