At the facility I work at you do not have to be certified to give PO chemotherapy or monoclonal antibodies such as rituxan. For the rest...yes you must be certified.

I would wait until after you get a job, for the paid maternity leave. But then again we wouldn't be able to pay the bills on just one income

Now I have never had a breast exam accompany my pap smear. Although my Dr. did ask if i perform monthly ones myself, which i do. A breast exam has never been offered to me. hmm. I suppose i could have always requested one? My Dr. just retired, s...

I'm doing my preceptorship for my BN on Oncology and I love it up there!!!! I really hope to get a job there after graduation! :) Only about 4 weeks left to go of clinical.

Last year someone at our hospital won a van and the year before someone won a bike. I can undertsnad why so many prizes get given out from the hospital tim's. I swear the line is a mile long at break and lunch times! I havn't one anything this year...

No she did not....ask a patient what it was like for her to have cancer when she had a benign tumor. One of the girls in my class did this last semester...in 4th year and didn't know what benign meant!

lol I used to work at Wal-Mart before nursing school and people have actually peed in our fitting rooms. One couple also managed to have sex in there. "i need my husband to come in and tell me which bikini he likes best", they won't fall for that on...

We have a lab due on our first day back on disaster nursing. Our instructor was supposed to email it to us so we could do it on our break. The first day back is tommorrow, no one that i've talked to got an email....this should be fun. I can't wait...

I'm graduating in May and i've worked through all 4 years of nursing school. I used to work at wal mart on friday nights saturdays and sundays, now i work at a special care home with people who Alzheimers and other varioud dementias, only work satur...

our pinning is in may we have 19 people left in our class that are graduating and it seems like we fight over every desicion. We take a class vote on everything and most of the time it ends up being 10 to 9, so no matter what there are 10 people unh...

I'm in my 4th year of nursing school, i'm going to graduate in about 5 months. A little over 5 years ago I was Dx with CA. Nasopharyngeal carsinoma with mets to cervical nodes. My 5 year anniversary of remission will be in May. I'm in the middle ...

Waiting times here in Canada suck! Our Prime Minister is looking at ways to help/fix but they can be really bad. And there definitly not enought doctors. Especially here in NB as we are a relativly small province. Doctors are retiring left and ri...

Well this is in NB Canada that alone should explain it all It takes forever to get in and see a speciallist we only have 3 ENT's for the whole city and surrounding areas and one of them is an idiot. I would get an apt quicker if i tracked my Dr. do...

Thanks for your reply. My Oncologist won't see me until we rule out the "other stuff" So I have an apt with my GP this afternoon, once i hear what he has to say i'm gonna try to track down my ENT, he is very good to me I run into him often at the hos...

In clinical tommorrow I have a cardiac pt. who is going down for a "dipymyoview". I have to know what this test is yet i cannot find it in my textbook, my tabers or in a medline search. maybe it's slang for a test or maybe whoever wrote it in the k...

I got to go down and see it. All whent well. The dr. said today that he couldn't see any damage to the heart from the test. It almost looks like she didn't have an MI but her CK and troponin levels where very much elevated so he said most likely it...

oh thank you so much!!!! yes i think i am going to be able to go down with my pt. tommorrow...so it should be interesting. This poor person came in to have a knee replacement and a few days after the surgey suffered and MI. Thank you again so much...

well there is a 2 line blurb about dipyridamole so i guess that could be it...i don't know how i got "dipymyoview" though....that what it appeared to say on the kardex but i swear some nurses write worse than doctors Thanks! Hopefully dipyridamole i...

Last semester i had a term paper for each of my 4 classes and a paper for clinical because i was in community all semester, which was ontop of smaller written assignments for all thoses classes. Sometimes i feel if we spent as much time in clinical ...

We are allowed to miss 2, 8 hour days of clinical. Last year my best friend missed 4 days due to having to fly to another province for her grandmas funeral and ended up having to pay 1600$ to make up the time.

We where contemplating using Karen's tactics on one of our nursing instructors. hehe!

I work at wal mart as my part time student job....are these things that arn't supposed to happen on a frequent basis. :) seriously about half of these have happened in my store at some point. We've had people pee in the fitting rooms, and they've ha...

We had to wear the gown for health assesment labs, but we definitly didn't have to bathe each other. Instead we pretended to bathe the dummy dolls we have in our lab with an empty basin and a dry face cloth.....just pretend it's water says the clini...

My 16 year old little sister was started on zoloft about 2 month ago, they started her on 20 mg and kept increasing it until she got to 100mg. It was not working for her. They took her off it last week and put her on prozac the same day. I though yo...

How can you tell when a bottled blond has stuffed her bras? She forgets to take the kleenex out of the box.
