  1. Admitted to graduate Master of Social Work Program but considering going for an ADN

    LaeDeesNP replied to Womanonajourney1983's topic in General Nursing

    If I were you, I would look into persuing your bacholer's in nursing as a second degree. I know that some universities offer that kind of program. If there isn't one in your area or you're unable to...

  2. Cant put my finger on it!

    LaeDeesNP replied to D&Ggirl's topic in General Nursing

    D&G Girl, You may want to contact a recruiter and speak with them about your situation and what type of work you're truly after. Most times, they (recruiters) work for many different companies who...

  3. wish me luck!

    LaeDeesNP replied to crazylilkelly's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm curious, where are you applying? I've been accepted into Emory University's WHNP program for this fall. I haven't heard from many of us in that type of program. Good luck to you, by the

  4. diluted IM Phenergan?

    LaeDeesNP replied to awesomemom's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a military health clinic and give IM Phenergan almost every day at work. I always dilute it 1:1 with NS to decrease the burning sensation. If the order states 25 mg phenergan, I end up...

  6. Emory University - Atlanta

    LaeDeesNP replied to LaeDeesNP's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello fellow Emory students! I was notified via my OPUS account that I am accepted!!! I just have to wait until my "official" notice comes in the "snail mail" (even more "snail-like" since I'm all the...

  7. A nurse is a nurse is a nurse. Is that true?

    LaeDeesNP replied to exairex's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree with most everyone's replies to your request, I think some people are missing a key aspect of your question. Yes, it's true that "a nurse is a nurse is a nurse" is FALSE in that we...

  8. Any Ideas

    LaeDeesNP replied to curlysin's topic in International Nursing

    It wasn't always that way, though, which was my point. I was hoping to point out the *chance* (an off chance, but still...) that the paperwork may go through without it, provided all other legal...

  9. Any Ideas

    LaeDeesNP replied to curlysin's topic in International Nursing

    I don't have any experience with your issue or any bright ideas other than just turning the form in without a social security number. I suggest this because some Americans don't even have a SSN. I'm...

  10. Tell me about one of those moments...

    LaeDeesNP replied to kcochrane's topic in General Nursing

    This isn't really about something a patient did or said that motivated me to continue on with nursing but it certainly did make me smile some days... When I first started nursing, fresh out of...

  12. Sign On versus Loan Repayment?

    LaeDeesNP replied to kydanzer's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I agree with the above poster, loan repayment is taxed as well. I would always verify all of that information and get all of your questions answered before you sign or accept ANY bonus or loan...

  13. Mirena & weight gain

    LaeDeesNP replied to LiverpoolJane's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in a military health clinic and have had a good number of women come in for the Mirena IUD placement. Most have not had weight gain as a side effect. What some women do not realize is that once...

  14. Birth Control Pills and Fertility

    LaeDeesNP posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have a question that I am somewhat embarrassed to ask as I feel I should already know the answer... :brnfrt: Not to mention, I've heard differing opinions in the past regarding this topic and would...

  15. Gre Update!

    LaeDeesNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    So....it's over, finished, kaput, done! I am so relieved! (And so is my husband...he's glad he gets his wife back and not some crazy, GRE-possessed monster!). And let's just say that I met and...

  16. Gre Update!

    LaeDeesNP replied to LaeDeesNP's topic in General Nursing

    Umm... I never thought about getting up and quitting BUT...I felt like an idiot during the entire test, almost. :smackingfIt was a rollercoaster of emotions...sometimes thinking "I'm awesome!" other...

  17. How far will a BSN take me?

    LaeDeesNP replied to RNDave's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious... What's the difference between the degree you say you've earned (BS in nursing) and a BSN? I have a BSN and according to Penn State (where I earned my degree), a BSN is a "bachelor's of...

  18. Countdown to the GRE! Any words of encouragement?

    LaeDeesNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    T - 3 days... and it will finally be over. Anyone have any words of encouragement (or warnings!)? I don't really remember preparing for or actually taking the SAT so it's almost like the GRE is a...

  20. Comparing Pittsburgh hospitals

    LaeDeesNP replied to MissBrn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm going to be echoing the sentiments of those posted before me but, it was my experience (with UPMC) that they do not pay very well, comparatively speaking. I was employed by them at a branch campus...

  21. HPV Vaccine

    LaeDeesNP replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    It's normal for people to spike a temperature after receiving vaccines and is usually nothing to worry about provided the fever responds positively to tylenol (or any other fever-reducer). Of course,...

  22. Administering flu/pneumonia vaccines

    LaeDeesNP replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    I work at a health clinic and have been administering the flu and pneumonia vaccines for months now...(I can't even tell you how many flu shots I've given...I'll be glad when flu season is over!) :)...

  23. WHO MAKES MORE: NPs or RNs

    LaeDeesNP replied to gkbroaro's topic in General Nursing

    That is what I have told my husband when he asks whether it's worth me going to grad school. I didn't go into nursing thinking it would make me rich. :) I'd much rather prefer a work environment where...

  24. How many liters of O2 can a patient with COPD be on?

    LaeDeesNP replied to ChristopherH's topic in Pulmonary

    If I'm remembering correctly, I believe I was taught in school that a COPDer can not be on anything greater than 6L because anything greater than that will only adversely effect their respiratory...

  25. Flu shots

    LaeDeesNP replied to willie03's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhhh...ok. I didn't realize that when you said experimental, you were referring to the avian flu. I'm on the same page now. Thanks for clearing that up! I didn't want to be immunizing our community...
