  1. Out of school 3-4 months and still no job!!!

    justme1972 replied to kcsb12's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here is some job searching advice: Even if the job says they want experience...apply for it anyway. There may be a reason why the job is still open. Never read want ads to literally. Even if you are...

  2. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    justme1972 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, it's like anything else...depends on where you live. RN's in California would think that the $20 starting salary around here is low...then again, I don't have to pay $400,000 for a starter home...

  3. Learning disabilities

    justme1972 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    We have ALL been there. I have come home from school, and the kids have been out of control, and I have found myself being the wicked witch of the west and more than once I have yelled to turn around...

  4. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    justme1972 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Yes, that is how the program is set up...if you go in non-BSN prepared. I personally found that applying to graduate programs BSN prepared you end up avoiding taking some additional classes as each...

  5. Learning disabilities

    justme1972 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    You never know...this could be a HUGE part of your son's problem...if he is being singled out by the teacher not being taught...any student would get poor

  6. Had some labs done on Friday....results have me worried...

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Tweety...it's good advice...this is the problem with being a student...you know just enough to scare yourself. After I posted this, I did find out that the family members I have that are in...

  7. Nursing School Bloopers

    justme1972 replied to Jabber964's topic in Nursing Humor

    I was taking this lady's temperature and was having trouble loading the probe protector. I put it in the patient's mouth and accidently hit the button at the end and it shot the probe protector into...

  8. Learning disabilities

    justme1972 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in General Nursing

    For now, look over the papers until he gets professional help because it could be very damaging to his self esteem. Please know that there are a ton of other things that it could be. A neighbor of...

  9. OUCH!!!! Ampule issues. Anyone else have problems?

    justme1972 replied to notyourordinarymom's topic in General Nursing

    The best way to open them is quickly and with confidence...if you do it slow, it's much harder to break and yes, you will cut yourself (gee...wonder how I know this?

  10. Passing rate for your school?

  11. Need ideas for research topics for Child Psychology

    justme1972 posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hey....my creative juices are not flowing this week. We have to do a group project on any important aspect of child psychology. I have to work with 3 other people, so we were looking for something...

  12. Employer told everyone results of my TB test!

    justme1972 replied to DA314's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, he's an attorney, not a physician, therefore what he did was rude, nasty and unethical, but most likely, not illegal. I probably would have told him that I needed to have a lab run,...

  13. Should I buy a Saunders review book, when I already have ATI materials?

    justme1972 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Yes...ATI will help you on ATI exams if your school requires them, but I did not find them helpful with our exams at school. ATI gives questions that are more fact-based than critical thinking based,...

  14. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    justme1972 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    David, ECU's program is one that I have looked at extensively. They are just like any other NNP program, they require the same 2-year work experience in a NICU like any other. When you start the...

  15. Neo-Natal Nurse Practioner Question

    justme1972 replied to Adams_Mommy_07's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Many of these programs are offered with an online study option with minimal trips to campus each year. Steve has been extremely helpful to me as well in answering my questions, as my goal is to be an...

  16. Is this standard treatment for a new NP?

    justme1972 replied to jrprthd96's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Well, here is the thing: You are new, and you are an employee. I am wagering that when your deal was "cut" that this was factored into your salary. They may not have been able to pay you as much if...

  17. Lack of communication....This is NOT RIGHT!!!!

    justme1972 replied to cute_cabbage2005's topic in General Nursing

    Makes you wonder where the charge-nurse's head is. Does that mean that if a nurse had to leave at 8:00 b/c they are sick or something that the patient just lays there without anyone checking on them...

  18. This is Too weird...

    justme1972 replied to cute_cabbage2005's topic in General Nursing

    I actually know of someone that has an "odd" relationship like that with his sister. It has always creeped me out. ...and it always made me

  19. Pregnant and due during finals need advice

    justme1972 replied to kirchnerfamily's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    They have to give you reasonable accommodations just like anyone with a short-term disability. If you have your baby early, and they will not permit you to take the exams early, they can give you an...

  20. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    justme1972 replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    No way...I absolutely would not do that. If you have a dog I would tell them I would be happy to bring that, but I would refuse to bring my own. That is an invasion of privacy, in my

  21. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    justme1972 replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    Sorry, I disagree with you. When you allow someone to treat you like that you give them permission to do it. It's classical conditioning, and no, they didn't get a laugh out of it, in fact, they were...

  22. Do you have to list EVERY job?

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

    There are also quite a few websites that HR professionals use that will pull up your employment history from companies that participate. It's a quick way to do verifications so they don't even have...

  23. Pre-employment drug screen / drug test

    justme1972 replied to RD_Congo's topic in General Nursing

    Usually if they plan to make a job offer b/c the tests are expensive and companies don't want to waste money testing candidates that they don't plan on

  24. Ripped Off

    justme1972 replied to Price 2002's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you should be pinned with the MA students at all. I'm not bashing MA's, but the program just isn't the same and in the vast majority of the USA, it's not even a legally recognized...

  25. Devastated beyond belief....and I don't even know what to change.

    justme1972 posted a topic in General Students

    I just got home from class and we had a test on Psych. I have actually had quite a few psych classes and I am very comfortable with the subject. We had 15 chapters to read for class. I read all of...
