    justme1972 replied to disconurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    justme1972 replied to disconurse's topic in Nurse Disabilities

  8. Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

    justme1972 replied to basketcase's topic in General Students

    justme1972 replied to setingle's topic in General Students

    Take what you make per hour, gross, multiply it by the number of hours, and deduct roughly 16 to 17% for taxes, then subtract your health insurance or any other extras that you signed up

  12. What is your graduation gift?

    justme1972 replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I would 190% disagree with your teacher on that one. I have a feeling that she was probably speaking from her own personal pet-peeve rather than actual practice. You are better off mentioning it at...

  13. On-Line RN-BSN Programs: Which would u chose?

    justme1972 replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Don't be quick to choose based on LOW cost...that is a typical in-state tuition

  14. On-Line RN-BSN Programs: Which would u chose?

    justme1972 replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in Online Distance Learning

    justme1972 replied to JessLP's topic in Arizona Nursing

  17. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    justme1972 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I think women refusing to wear a bra has to do with the following: 1. The individual is a closet exhibitionist. 2. They seek attention...the wrong kind. 3. They weren't taught any better. 4. They...

  18. Reprimanded for cleaning up after myself!!!

  19. 100% dosage calculations?

    justme1972 replied to Coloradogrl's topic in General Students

    Because NOTHING LESS than 100% is going to be required when you start a job. To do anything less will not only harm a patient, but could potentially kill your patient, put you out of a job and...

  20. Please help me with your opinions on this..

    justme1972 replied to 49*1's topic in General Students

  22. Instructor asked if I can keep up during the test!

    justme1972 replied to basketcase's topic in General Students
