  1. financial aid---quiting my full time job

    BSNtobe2009 replied to gordonarkell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    When you say "they", who is it? That is what you need to get to the bottom of. The FAFSA is a Federal, standardized form and the form you are speaking of, to my knowledge, doesn't exist. That is why...

  2. Is it always better to die at home?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I think it depends on the person and the situation. Some people just get worn down with the illness and just want to go home, get on meds, and visit with family and friends until the end. Some people...

  3. Shaken Baby

    BSNtobe2009 replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    It is very, very ridiculously rare for a judge to not go with a social worker's recommendation when an infant is in a present state of injury from shaken baby syndrome. There is usually substantial...

  5. Rsv

    BSNtobe2009 replied to NYpedRN's topic in Pediatric

    On the East coast I think it's October to March. My daughter was a preemie and was born in July , went home in September, and they started her shots in late September. I am forever suprised at the...

  6. concern over hepatitis B vaccine

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Tealeaf72's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, but if it were me, I would have the same concerns about the shot during pregnancy as you are...regardless of what research shows. There is also a ton of research on all vaccines and...

  7. My NM accused me of falsifying NN

    BSNtobe2009 replied to dannikRN's topic in General Nursing

    By the NM telling you that she would always take a patient's word over yours, that sounds like a personality conflict rather than a true concern. I would schedule an appointment with the DON and make...

  8. Shaken Baby

    BSNtobe2009 replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    I know that during the 50's and 60's, they used to have mandatory sterilization of women that were sentenced to prison terms, those that were mentally retarded, etc. I thought it was the most...

  9. Shaken Baby

    BSNtobe2009 replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    Then you have other children that have a home to go to, but the social worker is so ignorant and biased that they hold up the process. A very close family friend had a chlid informally placed with her...

  10. Management measuring handsanitizer and soap usage

    BSNtobe2009 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    Good point...they just built a brand new hospital near where I used to live and as my father and I were driving past we were thinking, "Can you imagine the responsibility of having to make sure a...

  11. Shaken Baby

    BSNtobe2009 replied to royr's topic in General Nursing

    It's hard for me to even read stories like that and then reality starts sinking in....those babies eventually have to go to a hospital and someone has to take care of them. I always thought if there...

  12. Management measuring handsanitizer and soap usage

    BSNtobe2009 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, that is incredibly petty. They freak out if you don't wash up for everything and then start getting upset at the amount you use. I'm suprised they don't start putting a meter on the...

  13. Holiday Gifts: What is appropriate?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to weirdRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know that Martha Stewart has some complicated and expensive ideas, but she had a magazine out this Christmas on how to do a homemade Christmas. I bought cheap mugs at Walmart for .40 each...and I'm...

  14. if you've ever worked in food service...

    BSNtobe2009 replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    For me part of the stress in food service (I worked in it for 5 years before graduating from college) is having to be nice to people and have your INCOME directly impacted by how well you could play...

  15. Study habits?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to -Midget-'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My biology class was taught by a guy waiting to enter med school and at a CC where it was specifically geared toward nursing, but I didn't know it at the time. Our exams were 100% essay, consisted of...

  16. ACT testing. Help!! I need a jump start!!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Matt000's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go buy one of the study guides...they usually come with a video of how to sort out the vocabulary, etc. When I took the ACT/SAT's 20 years ago, they didn't have any of that. I was considering apply...

  17. Issues in legal ethics?? Help!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to leah7099's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, this definitely looks like a homework question. You need to look it up

  18. recurring embezzelment story, urban myth?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Well, it's plausible enough of a story that it could go either

  19. getting a job after failing NCLEX

    BSNtobe2009 replied to cubrn123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    What's wrong with telling them the truth? There are lots of nurses, TONS who don't pass on the first try, and you can use it as a positive in your interview. "I just wanted to make sure that I had...

  20. Dogs appear to protect some babies from allergies

    BSNtobe2009 replied to SCRN1's topic in General Nursing

    That actually doesn't suprise me at all. I have long since believed that "allergy kids" are a growing epidemic that is part of our society where kids are moving indoors, sitting in front of the TV or...

  21. Venting and Advice Needed...Just Can't Do This Anymore!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Night shift is pure hell on the body and mind to start with, without adding what you described to it. I agree with the others, that is more than should be expected of a person. Speak

  22. financial aid---quiting my full time job

    BSNtobe2009 replied to gordonarkell's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quitting your job has absolutely no bearing on your financial aid, and if someone at the financial aid office is telling you that, they are incorrect. The financial aid awards are made from the...

  24. Questions about Whooping Cough PLEASE!!!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to kwagner_51's topic in General Nursing

    Are there other children whose immunization records were not furnished or

  25. Instructor trouble

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Boltthrower's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well, technically she is correct. However, if her new grads want to keep their jobs at a hospital, to openly question a seasoned doctor unless you are 400% sure you are correct, is a career
