  1. Asking pay rate before interview

    justme1972 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    It's not just in nursing...that's just old fashioned salary negotation, and it won't matter who you work for, it's the same. HR personnel will tell you if someone asks about pay during the interview,...

  2. Low GPA, how can I get into Grad school?

    justme1972 replied to Dreamer5's topic in General Nursing

    Some schools have other policies where it has a list of select classes that you can take without formally being admitted to the program. They base your admission on your performance in those classes....

  3. Radiation and sterility in males

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Good question...I have no clue. She just said throat

  4. Radiation and sterility in males

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks...I feel so bad, I probably should have had her call our father with that question (he's a physician). I have no idea of how they do radiation, but that makes sense. I talked to her this...

  5. This is killing me! Is there a possibility I passed????

    justme1972 replied to go43ah's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks for posting your question...I haven't seen anyone post yet that hasn't got an SATA's...so your results would be welcoming to alot of

  6. Asking pay rate before interview

    justme1972 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    It is considered to be extremely poor ettiquette to ask about pay until you have been offered a job. Any HR site will tell you

  7. Can an instructor do this???

    justme1972 replied to tele jelly's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe it's just me, maybe I'm just heartless, but I never, ever schedule anything that close together. If I had a 9:00 am. test scheduled, I wouldn't have made any other commitments that day until at...

  8. Textbooks editions.. the infamous problem.

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

    Wow..there is a place that RENTS

  9. Textbooks editions.. the infamous problem.

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

    I always buy the edition that is recommended, always. If I find it used, I buy used, if it's only available new, I buy new. There were students in my class that didn't, and sometimes there are...

  10. What is collar length?

    justme1972 replied to mommy2three2's topic in General Students

    You aren't going to get "kicked out" or yelled at over 1" here or there. A collar, is technically going to "fall" on someone differently for each shirt that they have on. Just hit it in that area...

  11. Cup feeding associated with longer hospital stays

    justme1972 replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Here is what I see from that video: 1. A baby that is frantically rooting for something to suck on...b/c that is what nature intended for it to do. 2. Breast milk that may have been measured when it...

  12. Cup feeding associated with longer hospital stays

    justme1972 replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    ..hence the term Lactation Consultant and not Lactation Practitioner. Why isn't anyone informing these patients that the LC is there to give advice and isn't authorized to write an order? What are...

  13. How did you get an "A" in anatomy?

    justme1972 replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The students that took A&P when I took it that did not do well, flat out, didn't put the time in. What makes A&P so hard is the abundance of latin-based terms. They are words that are hard to...

  14. Cup feeding associated with longer hospital stays

    justme1972 replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Just out of curiosity....sheer, curiosity... Does your lactation consultant tell these parents that their babies will get "confused" or does she objectively state that it is a very controversial...

  15. Cup feeding associated with longer hospital stays

    justme1972 replied to TiffyRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I am a HUGE proponent of breast feeding. Big, Big, Big. But the bottom line, is that infants need to be fed in a manner that is safe, consistent, to where they will get the required nutrition. I flat...

  16. Do you need a Laptop?

    justme1972 replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I disagree, I think it's robbery and I'll tell you why. I attend a very small public community college for my nursing program. My "technology" fee is $50 per semester. I don't take a laptop to...

  17. Just got home...shut off @ 86. any thoughts?

    justme1972 replied to UpliftingRN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Three For Three!!!! That's Wonderful

  18. What to do about slander?

    justme1972 replied to zattie's topic in General Nursing

    Here is my suggestion: The situation didn't get pulled out of thin air. SOMETHING happened, and here is what I think. There are so many people doing the he-said, she-said, that I have a feeling that...

  19. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    justme1972 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    Here is what you are looking for. Certain states allow for PERSONAL objections to certain vaccines that are not related to a religious group/sect, etc. Tennessee, is not one of those states....

  20. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    justme1972 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I have to agree with Methylene on this one. An institution has the legal right to protect it's employees and patients in any way they see fit, as long as they are consistent in those practices. Public...

  21. Mandatory Vaccines and the Law.

    justme1972 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I think you really, really need to think about your decision. If you were a person in the general population, I would say there was absolutely nothing wrong with you not taking the Hep B vaccine,...

  22. I didn't get into my program.

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

    I sort of see this both ways. Granted, a student should be permitted to increase their score. However, here is a different view: I had about 64 hours of credits before I even applied to a nursing...

  23. Has the 2010 DNP alledged requirement for NP's already fizzled?

    justme1972 posted a topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    I have noticed that only a precious few colleges are offering the DNP-NP programs but the MSN programs are still in full force. 2010 is only 1 1/2 years away. I am wondering if this was just a bunch...

  24. Do you need a Laptop?

    justme1972 replied to dfw2lax's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Technology fees, lab fees, etc, are not negotiable at colleges. These are budgeted expenses, and the college needs to collect them from every student that enrolls. If you don't pay it, they don't...

  25. Help: Thrombolytic agents and Heparin

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did very well on my exam :) I thought I was going to end up with a C but ended up with a B!!!! Our Pharm is broke down into 4 semesters, at one semester hour each, so I wasn't going to flip out if I...
