  1. ~human anatomy

    Huscarl73 replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I agree with Megsd. I think if you just keep reading over and over your not learning your just reading. For me to really get something I have to eventually put the notes down and start reciting it...

  2. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

    Huscarl73 replied to lainith's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    End of May at the soonest for an August start. I think I'm going to think positive and start my immunizations

  3. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Huscarl73 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm used to some other forums where we will go at each other with a hammer while debating various ideas. I guess I should resign myself to the fact that very few people on here want to do...

  4. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Huscarl73 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    You do have some valid points. For example there was a percentage of money that was spent that my, our, children will benefit from. Highways being one example. But IMO that the vast majority of it was...

  5. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

    Huscarl73 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    A previous poster hit the nail on the head. The bank is empty, all the money that's supposed to be in it is gone. We have an entire generation, and even part of another one that spent that money. The...

  6. You're Going to Practice on ME?!?!

    Huscarl73 replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never had a fear of needles until one day...when I gave blood to the RC and I watched them put the needle in. It looked like I could park my truck up inside of it. I wont say that I'm afraid of...

  7. Has anybody else officially applied for the program?

    Huscarl73 replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yep, my app is complete except for one pre req class I'm currently in. I have until May 15th (after the end of semester) for that grade to be on my transcript. After that is the the wait for the...

  8. Damage control? Or just more damage?

    Huscarl73 replied to chartlooe's topic in General Nursing

    Let me start out by saying that I've been told and seen the following.. It takes a strong committed marriage to survive both or either party swinging outside of the marriage. I have seen this cause...

  9. Refusal for Blood Draw

    Huscarl73 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

    The standard is unreasonable search and seizure. We have a court system that decides if a search is reasonable based upon specific evidence. We should not ignore this based upon expediancy. I've...

  10. OT: and not getting paid?

    Huscarl73 replied to nynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    That's how I read it too, if you accept a salaried position, ie you get paid for 40 if your work 30 or 50, in any type of work you are not eligible for overtime. If your paid hourly and only get paid...

  11. OT: and not getting paid?

    Huscarl73 replied to nynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Only paperwork I would fill out would be down at the courthouse for all the back time I didn't get paid. If the hospitol has a problem with that they need to take it up with

  12. Refusal for Blood Draw

    Huscarl73 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

    Even if they did show up with a warrent for a blood draw you still wouldn't have any obligation to do it. The burden would be upon the state to supply the where and how not upon you to do it for

  13. Frustration with "the plan"

    Huscarl73 replied to krenee's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have courses from way back in the day also. 1987 or so. My college doesn't know anything about them and never

  14. Is there REALLY a nursing shortage?

    Huscarl73 replied to ShimmaShimma0304's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you blue hair. That's the most honest assesment of any work enviroment in any field that I've seen in

  15. Massage Therapy Training In Broward County

    Huscarl73 replied to shelly_oncRN's topic in Florida Nursing

    A local CC is going to be your cheapest bet. Don't fall for the private schools sales pitch on how much better your training will be etc. It's not worth the added costs. As a current MT my advice to...

  16. Make Money For Nursing School

    Huscarl73 replied to QueenMum's topic in General Nursing

    From what I have found the Dept of Health and the BON for Mississippi websites have virtually no information about CNA. I can't even find the minimum number of hours needed for the certification. If...

  17. Honest question needs honest anwser..

    Huscarl73 replied to Kandigrl2001's topic in General Nursing

    I understand your position. I don't agree with it but I do understand it. I was addressing a broader picture of the war on drugs. IMO that history has proven that it is unwinnable. By any logical...

  18. Honest question needs honest anwser..

    Huscarl73 replied to Kandigrl2001's topic in General Nursing

    He has a valid point. If someone goes out on New years and has a few drinks/smoke does that make them impaired for next Fridays shift? For any kind of work? If the answer is yes then I will support it...

  19. CNA vrs Orderlies

    Huscarl73 posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I went and talked to some nursing homes and the two local hospitals today. One nursing home offers in house CNA training and said they had just finished a class and probably wouldn't have another one...

  20. What's the best way to become a CNA?

    Huscarl73 replied to CA_Student_Nurse's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm looking into this too as a way to learn if this is really for me before I sink 2 years into school for it. Our local CC offers a 16 hour one semester course on it but I can't figure several things...

  22. Getting ahead or where do most people fail

    Huscarl73 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've been lurking around these forums trying to get an idea of what I'm getting into and they've been informative and even entertaining at times. From what I am seeing the problem area that most...

  23. Dog and Pony Show --A Nursing School Rant!!

    Huscarl73 replied to Ohmygosh's topic in General Nursing

    If the school doesn't work this out in time to get you into class they have a problem. Getting the scores from the course together and coming up with a final grade by the due date is the schools...

  24. Criminal charges against WI Nurse

    Huscarl73 replied to Dorito's topic in General Nursing

    I think the key point in all of this was brought up but ignored. This is a news report, a short one, that has very few details and was probably written by someone with no medical knowledge. As far...

  25. Getting ahead or where do most people fail

    Huscarl73 replied to Huscarl73's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I appreciate the information and the advice. Unfortunately I am a biblophile and relaxing to me includes cuddling up with a book. Which maybe didn't do so much for my social life when I was younger,...
