    justme1972 posted a topic in Patient Medications

  4. Neonatal Nurse Practitioners-Salary Range

    justme1972 posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I can't find any information online about Neonatal Nurse Practitioners. Is there anyone on the board that is one? I'm curious if the degree would be worth the trouble, and I would also like to know,...

  5. Curious...using the title "Doctor" for a DNP...

    justme1972 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    For a friendly debate topic..... I remembered reading an old post awhile ago where an NP (who got her DNP) was told by Human Resources that she couldn't use the title "Doctor" at the hospital, because...

  6. IV Calculator for a PDA

    justme1972 posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I downloaded the free Archimedes (SP). calculator from skyscape, but for some reason, it doesn't do what I need it to. There isn't a "unit" that can be used for Heparin and Insulin, and if you are...

  7. Blood transfusion question

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Students

    We are working on a small class presentation on blood transfusions. This is in reference to whole blood. Everything that we have been given, read, etc..says that blood must be transfused with 4 hours...

  10. Tossing around a move to Alabama...any suggestions on where to live?

    justme1972 posted a topic in Alabama Nursing

    I'm curious as to other nurses that live in Alabama and where they are currently living/working and if they like it.

  11. First Negative Experience w/a Dr...

    justme1972 replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    Ok..I have to be honest. You did say something wrong to the physician, and my jaw dropped when I read what you said. When you asked the patient which antibiotic was it...and the doctor said, "It's...

  12. Feeling really down.

    justme1972 replied to HappyPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure if you are married or single, but it's probably something to consider to move out of the area. I would also tweak your resume to show the year and leave off the month that you...

  13. You cant be fashionable for nursing.

    justme1972 replied to lovehospital's topic in General Nursing

    Every instructor has their 'thing' that they get stuck on...don't let this one set the tone for how things are in a hospital...schools are different. I personally wear my hair to where if I had to put...

  14. A really good example of children in the USA still dying from childhood diseases.

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Nursing

    This is a child that died of chicken pox...what is unusual was that this wasn't an infant, but a 12-year old. Article didn't say if the child was immunized or not, which to me, was a pretty important...

  15. Persistent Nurse Recruiters?

    justme1972 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Try to understand that just like nurses have protocols, so do other professions in the hospital. Recruiters are required to make so-many contacts with potential hires, and they have to keep a record...

  16. Doing away with side rails?

    justme1972 replied to mondkmondk's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I have heard something similar that is supposed to take place in our state come January 1st. Even with "padding" on the floor, elderly clients who have osteoperosis will still break bones with the...

  17. Pharmacology and math

    justme1972 replied to OnlyByHisGrace's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Send me a PM...we had an entire class that was over an entire semester dealing with nursing Math. I'll send you the ISBN number. My textbook was excellent, broke everything down, and I bet you could...

  19. A really good example of children in the USA still dying from childhood diseases.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, the Generation X'ers, like myself, have no memory of classmates actually dying of these things. However, our parents do. It's easy to dismiss them based on "personal philosophy" when...

  20. RN-BSN or Frontier Bridge Classes

    justme1972 replied to kalley's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    Don't forget to look at the tuition. I found Frontier to be far more expensive to do their "bridge" classes vs getting a BSN and possibly going in BSN prepared...just no question as to how it...

  21. Kicked out of school for being pregnant!?

    justme1972 replied to ibambamama's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  23. Second opinion, how to ask doctor for?

    justme1972 replied to dcampbell's topic in General Nursing

    On a personal level, I don't ask a doctor for a second opinon..I just get one. I also never get one from the group the first doctor was in, b/c another doctor will most likely not go against the...

  25. FURIOUS! Ambulance Refused to Transport Patient

    justme1972 replied to tencat's topic in General Nursing

    I would report it officially b/c sometimes parametics have just enough knowledge to be very dangerous. If the man is in and out of consciousness and can possibly have a head injury, then it's safe to...
