  1. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    gauge14iv replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    But nearly ALL of them have kids! The better thing would be to find a way to make most of them legal - and to document those with criminal records so they can be shipped back - so that those who are...

  2. what was your hardest semester?

    gauge14iv replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I absolutely agree with that!!! That last semester, it wouldn't matter if there was LESS work - it would still be the hardest because you are just soooooooo tired of

  3. Frustrated Grad Student

    gauge14iv replied to phoenix24rn's topic in General Nursing

    The 5 points thing is pretty standard these days for late and cell phones - understandeable too since people are pretty blatant about it. Both my grad program and my 3 college student kids were/are...

  4. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    gauge14iv replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    They could be an illegal immigeant if they used fake documents to obtain that card. By the same token - the immigration system is very difficult and expensive to navigate. If we want them here...

  5. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    gauge14iv replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No - however - Since we enable them to do just that, then we have created the situation to alllow it to occur. We are reaping what policy has sowed. We have created an antire population of dependant...

    gauge14iv replied to grnmtngirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    There is a Cityview in Dallas too LOL

  7. Are all applications online now??

    gauge14iv replied to Medic2RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    All the applications are online - they don't know what to do with paper. It's been that way for about 10 years I'd say. However, if you are interested in a particular unit or position, I would apply...

  8. Public Transportation in Dallas

    gauge14iv replied to future_nurse08's topic in Texas Nursing

    OH! And you might check out the DART express bus routes - they start at outlying transit centers and go all the way downtown without stoping - they are usually even faster than the trains, and they...

  9. Public Transportation in Dallas

    gauge14iv replied to future_nurse08's topic in Texas Nursing

    Maybe you will be able to find a carpool once classes start - that would help save on some gas

  10. DFW- where should I live?

    gauge14iv replied to grnmtngirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    There are great places to live IN town too - if you have kids you just have to choose VERY carefully in regards to schools. There ARE some good and even great schools even within the DISD, you just...

  11. Doctoral degree to become an NP???

    gauge14iv replied to VickyRN's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Current APN's will be grandfathered if some state or certifying body decides to require the DNP for licensure or certification - just as non MS degree holding APN's are

  12. How to help gloves fit...info request

    gauge14iv replied to *Pepper*'s topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    As a student you are sort of stuck and like Gompers said - carrying your own is going to be the way to go. However on the job it is a different story. OSHA requires that the employer provide personal...

  14. Public Transportation in Dallas

    gauge14iv replied to future_nurse08's topic in Texas Nursing

    I dont know if TWU offers discounted passes, but DART might offer discounted student passes with your student ID. I will say that if the weather is bad, be prepared for that, it is a bit of a walk...

    gauge14iv replied to Roy Fokker's topic in Nursing Humor

    60. When your phone goes to voicemail, your friends and family create profiles on allnurses.com so they can PM you and tell you to answer your phone 61. Your spouse PM's you from his laptop to tell...

  18. Allowing more than RN on name badge?

    gauge14iv replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    We werent comparing the two though It *IS* funny that some facilities try to call a nurse a nurse - even when it comes to the name

  19. Allowing more than RN on name badge?

    gauge14iv replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I like the 2+2 idea myself. A 2 year degree with a 2 year add on for a BS - optional of course, but strongly encouraged by an increase in pay that actually makes a difference. When it matters in the...

  20. Allowing more than RN on name badge?

    gauge14iv replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    Madwife - its pretty similar here - an AD or AS degree in nursing is a 2 year degree required to obtain an RN, but by the time you take all the basic courses, apply and get in to the nursing track it...

    gauge14iv replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat: For fun, I asked a few of my friends how long a person had to go school to become a nurse - "a year or two" was the answer I got - they don't understand all the different degrees and...

  23. Allowing more than RN on name badge?

    gauge14iv replied to MQ Edna's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt it had anything to do with pedestal - you sign your name that way so many times in a day that it jsut becomes habit. I have signed checks and written "RN" after the

  24. North Lake/El Centro - Fall '06!

    gauge14iv replied to Fun2's topic in General Students

    For afterschool care, what is the possibilty that you could hire a college or high school student for awhile? Or is there some way for your SO (or another relative) to go in to work earlier and come...
