  1. Group One background checks in Texas

    gauge14iv replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    We teach people how to access their rights under the fair credit reporting act for starters. Other than that - there isn't anything that can be done unless the law is broken. You will NEVER get a...

  2. Anyone with held old transcripts?

    gauge14iv replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Several schools I have been to print the transfer credits on the transcripts as well as putting on there wehre they came from - I wouldn't hedge bets on this one. In addition, if you took out any...

  3. Group project rant

    gauge14iv replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Students

    In the real world there is recourse if I don't do my part - I would be couseled, written up, reported to the board for some things or fired. Group projects are worthwhile when there are appropriate...

  5. Time for a Tablet PC?

    gauge14iv replied to HisTreasure's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Forgot to mention - the handwriting on a tablet looks like a drunk or a doctor wrote it!!!!

  6. Time for a Tablet PC?

    gauge14iv replied to HisTreasure's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think a laptop is a great idea - the tablet is pretty useless though. The technology looks cool at first glance - but it just isnt all its cracked up to be. You cant read the handwriting after you...

  7. Group project rant

    gauge14iv replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Students

    You know... Had one class where group project was such that we graded each other - we graded the two who did nothing accordingly, the entire group got the same grade - the grade of the person who had...

  8. Are there any Texas hospitals that offer signing and relocation bonuses?

    gauge14iv replied to twigloo's topic in Texas Nursing

    Your subject line and your question are somewhat of a dichotomy - The places with the best sign on's are usually the worst places to work! Just a handy rule of thumb to consider. Hospitals in South...

    gauge14iv replied to Paravell's topic in Nursing Career

  10. Paying for the past, literally!!

    gauge14iv replied to rhondaarn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Wasn't trying to be rude - I apologize. Just wanted to make sure because TPAPN is something that is covered in every nursing school and under the nurse practice act. I'm sure you are very familiar...

  11. Group One background checks in Texas

    gauge14iv replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Sorry - but nurses are pretty much stuck with this in DFW. The only way to fight it is to access your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Refusing to work for a facility who uses it is cutting...

    Conditioinal admission shouldnt be any big deal. Conditional status allows them to account for the fact that at least some of our classes were taken when were younger, less responsible and less...

  13. AUUUUUGGGGHHHHH!!!!!(i.e.head lice)

    gauge14iv replied to jen42's topic in School

    I would highly recommend NIX over the other stuff. For one thing, it keeps them from becoming reinfested for about 2 weeks. You can do a second application at that time just to be sure. Comb Comb Comb...

  14. Paying for the past, literally!!

    gauge14iv replied to rhondaarn's topic in Texas Nursing

    Debbie - Are you a nurse? I would hope that no nurse practicing in Texas would ask what TPAPN is. If you are not a nurse, I would be happy to explain although you could probably get better information...

    gauge14iv replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

  19. Any tips for reducing fever?

    gauge14iv replied to noclpn's topic in Pediatric

    The problem with alternating motrin and tylenol is that it is difficult to explain it in such a way that the parent doesn't OD the kid on one or the other of the drugs. The max daily doses still need...
