    RedCell replied to freakjojo06's topic in General Students

    To be competitive you will have to take the REAL science classes. Your undergraduate nursing background will not count for much in the eyes of an admission

  4. Random Drug Screens

    RedCell replied to merri666's topic in General Nursing

    Follow Mr. Do Bee's lead and pee in the cup if requested. It is not some conspiracy aimed at destroying your soul. If anything, it is just another attempt for the government via a '3rd party...

  5. Random Drug Screens

    RedCell replied to merri666's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand what you are so worried about. If you get caught up in the random drug test gimmick and you pop positive for opioids okay. Either you have the script for your sufentanil friend or...

  6. Shortage of Nursing Instructors/Teachers?

    RedCell replied to eriksoln's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    TraumaRUs said it....There is no money in teaching. I enjoy having students with me in the OR, but there is no way in hell I would take a full time job teaching anesthesia. The pay would be half of...

  7. 3 medication errors in 7 months!

    RedCell replied to NYCRN05's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think it is great that you are taking personal accountability for your own mistakes. This is the first step in solving any problem. The culture of blaming others does not solve problems, it only...

  9. Atropine and Amiodarone

    RedCell replied to E.R. Rookie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Also, for those who enjoy Jeopardy....Demerol (meperidine) has a chemical structure similar to atropine and was originally developed as a possible replacement for atropine. It is the only opioid that...

  10. Atropine and Amiodarone

    RedCell replied to E.R. Rookie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Atropine has nothing to do with the sympathetic side of the autonomic nervous system. The increase in heart rate is because of the binding to muscarinic (specifically muscarinic 2 receptors)...

  11. New grad jobs ANYWHERE?

    RedCell replied to Mosesblah's topic in General Nursing

    You can work wherever you want. The NCLEX is a national test, not a test specific to Nevada grads. You do have to apply for a new RN license depending on which state you choose to live in. Seems...

  12. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    RedCell replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Cell phone thing has been debunked too. Don't know why the signs are there, but I bet it could be traced back to a trial lawyer:D I guess if you were doing the Zoolander thing (spraying gas all over...

  14. Male Nursing Oppurtunitys

    RedCell replied to Christian_Student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thats awesome man. I did the exact same thing as you at your age. Worked as a CNA in a nursing home during senior year of high school, then as an EMT, RN and now I am a CRNA. Your main advantage is...

  15. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    RedCell replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I've always wanted to say "excuse me madam, I am going to feel your chest for a thrill" Yeah never actually had the cojones to say that one. I have a slight inclination that they might misunderstand...

  16. Sigma Theta Tau membership

    RedCell replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think so. I have been much more pleased with my jelly of the month membership. The jam is nice and tasty and doesn't cost 1/2 of what sigma theta tau

  17. Sigma Theta Tau membership

    RedCell replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    Supposedly, you have to keep pumping in the cash infusion to remain a member. However, I haven't paid my dues in two years, yet they still send me all the membership junk mail. If I were you I would...

    RedCell replied to Lanessa Bah's topic in General Nursing

  19. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    RedCell replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    You are right the founding fathers were living in a different time. The Revolutionary War was a much more volatile and violent time than we live in today. Handguns of the 20th and 21st century...

  20. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    RedCell replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Of course news stories are anecdotal. ALL case reports/news stories are anecdotal. Why would you even bother to mention that? That does not mean they cannot be used to destroy your side of this...

  23. Should Doctors Have Guns?

    RedCell replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone should have a gun. They are much more effective at solving problems than kisses, hugs and hippies when confronted by people who intend to harm you. A syringe full of succinylcholine is...

  24. Loneliness in the O.R.

    RedCell replied to Ken83's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Good post man, could not agree more. Inland18mempire, calling this dude a poser means that you have missed the boat. He is giving honest straightforward advice to someone who is considering...
