    maryshome8 replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

  5. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    maryshome8 replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    I think, and I could be wrong here...that the most sophisticated HIV test that we have can show only 3 months from initial infection. I do know that there is a considerable "lag time" for it to build...

  6. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    maryshome8 replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    I'll be happy to tell you why I "buy" that there is no such thing as the Gulf War Syndrome, and this may fall under the catagory of TMI, but here it goes. The guy I dated for two years practically...

  7. Desperate !!

    maryshome8 replied to mika1's topic in General Nursing

    My gosh, if you lived in my area you could come and stay with me. I think you need to talk to the head of the nursing department immediately to see if they know about any emergency student loans that...

  8. "Just" a 2-year degree

    maryshome8 replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think that the pharmacy tech meant that you weren't qualified. We live in a society where the compensation for your job, usually, but not always, is highly correlated with your education...

  9. Does it HAVE to be an either-or situation???

    maryshome8 replied to Busy_B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You are so right on the baby thing...my entire life, I was petrified of childbirth....so much that when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter (and I had always wanted children) I had briefly...

  10. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    maryshome8 replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I didn't know the rate was higher for cancer for recipients of organs....that is a good thing to know. When I said we don't know what causes cancer...I should have elaborated. For example,...

    I'm sorry, I didn't mean for it to sound like you did. I was just speaking in

  12. Thinking about getting into corrections....

    maryshome8 replied to ShortyLPN's topic in Correctional

    This is great advice. I have a friend that works at the local max security prison as a recreational director...a female. She said that the hardest part of her job, is to deal with them playing with...

  13. Organ Donation and Homosexuals

    maryshome8 replied to mysticalwaters1's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I agree with this decision. There are too many vets making claims for Gulf War Syndrome..which is of an unknown cause. I dated a guy for 2 years that received a medical discharge from the...

  14. Increased fetal movement

    maryshome8 replied to Lyndilu's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A baby at 31 weeks would have an initially hard time, but would most likely be ok (I had one at 29 1/2). I am hoping and praying the baby is

  15. Increased fetal movement

    maryshome8 replied to Lyndilu's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I saw this as well on a medical show where a baby had developed a "natural knot".....the woman was an RN and "made up" a couple of symptoms to make sure that her doctor would see her and she said she...

  16. Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis

    maryshome8 replied to CoolHandLu's topic in General Nursing

    Just out of curiosity, do you know how he got the Sulfa drug or was it prescribed by accident? I'm asking because I am allergic to Sulfa and I'm always on the lookout for unconventional ways one can...

  17. Credit Scoring

    maryshome8 replied to Nurse2BMonique21's topic in International Nursing

    If you are coming to the USA (not sure if you made a typo or not), yes, you start from scratch. American credit reporting agencies do not have access to foreign

  18. Anybody buy their own private insurance?

    maryshome8 replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, but when I was working in corporate America, I had two professional licenses and carried E & O on both which I paid for myself. People have accidents...we are human, and we...

    maryshome8 replied to 777RNThatsMe's topic in General Nursing

    Keep in mind that there are pros and cons to not carrying your own insurance in case you get sued for negligence or malpractice. You may be less likely to get sued, however, if you DO get sued, you'll...

  20. Fired from job

    maryshome8 replied to goingnuts's topic in General Nursing

    I second this! Great

  21. Fired from job

    maryshome8 replied to goingnuts's topic in General Nursing

    If I was being accused and your former place of employment wanted to know if you were bringing an attorney, I would refuse to answer any of those questions...or ANYTHING ELSE that they asked. They...

  22. Fired from job

    maryshome8 replied to goingnuts's topic in General Nursing

    Hospice is hard and GOD BLESS you for working in it. I'm not a nurse, but I can tell you that you were probably working in a very poor center that fired you because of what one person said. When...

  23. Job Hunting - I don't understand

    maryshome8 replied to Pupnshnooter's topic in General Nursing

    I agree...I know that the vast majority of law schools and medical schools require their students to "dress' for class...they don't have to wear a suit, but it's business casual at minimum. They want...

  24. Job Hunting - I don't understand

    maryshome8 replied to Pupnshnooter's topic in General Nursing
