  1. How are you going to Vote - US

    queenjean replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I am a fervent Obama supporter; but can I just say that this election has made me have more pride in our country like never before. As a little girl, I distinctly remember discussing in school the...

  2. How did you fund your education?

    queenjean replied to Azureshunter's topic in General Students

    I saved money, worked full time during school, and paid cash. Went to an inexpensive (but still respected) community college. I already had a degree, so I didn't qualify for grants or most...

  3. What's the "real deal" on these Carribean Medical Schools?

    queenjean replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    Don't nursing schools in the US have fairly high attrition rates as well? I know both my LPN and RN schools did. The two schools that I know of in my area which didn't have high attrition rates have...

  4. Experience

    queenjean replied to miko014's topic in General Nursing

    School nurse, health department, working in case management, etc. Good luck, that really is terrible for you. Are there ANY gloves that you can tolerate, in the meantime? Is it the gloves, or the...

  5. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    queenjean replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    Hey, it's no skin off my back; I figured someone else would get it, too. I hear nursing students (and nurses, too) can be pretty goofy (no offense to those who have an integumentary system, auditory...

  6. changing major from nursing to english lit?

    queenjean replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    You need to do something. WIth a 69%--you need to get that up if you want to be a nurse. It sounds like you don't want to be a nurse, though, so I think it's a good idea you are moving in a different...

  7. Would I have any problems being a nurse with an associates degree?

    queenjean replied to pinkstar17's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Depends on your geographical area. My hospital doesn't hire based on ADN vs BSN for staff nurse positions. You are expected to do the same work. There is no pay incentive for BSN over ADN. You are...

  8. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    queenjean replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    I worked L&D for several years. I thought your play on words was hilarious. Of course, we are that sort of people. My husband used to refer to my stories from work as "Jean's lady parts...

  9. Will I get fired?

  10. Staff Carrying Pyjamas On Night Shift!!

    queenjean replied to adoyo's topic in General Nursing

    I would kick anyone's butt on my floor if they went to sleep for a long time. If you are sick or preggos or something happened during the day that resulted in you not getting enough sleep, and you...

  12. Will I get fired?

    queenjean replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Where in your employee handbook does it say that nurses (or PTs or RTs or dietary staff or physicians) may not have sex with other hospital staff? First of all, you don't know if it is true, unless...

  13. Doctor title, Nurse title

    queenjean replied to pegbord's topic in General Nursing

    When I worked in an office, I called the doc by her first name. The pts either called her Dr. Smith or Dr. Jane, depending on their own personal preference. She always introduced herself as Dr....

  14. Will I get fired?

    queenjean replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    So, you are a CNA, but you give medications? You are lucky to not be prosecuted. You took orders from a physician for which you are unlicensed. There is at least the implication that you give...

  15. Anon

    queenjean replied to MGRMC's topic in Medical-Surgical

    A UACI is pretty much standard with routine blood work in the ED, particularly for anyone over 50, debilitated, or who has fever or abdominal pain. That way we know up front if they came in with a...

  16. Guilty Mom

    queenjean replied to catfish1's topic in General Nursing

    Same here--I work nights so I can take my kiddos to school, DH or I pick them up. I might switch to days after my kids graduate from high school, but for now, night shift works much better with a...

  17. Why didn't BSN as entry level work out in ND?

    queenjean posted a topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    We are reading some articles about BSN as entry in ND--as in the preparation and work that went into making this a reality. So yes, these articles are from the 80s. I would like to read some...

  18. EduKan

    queenjean replied to KAMARAkamara's topic in General Nursing

    I took A&P through them. I'd say the class was as good as it could be without having a hands on lab. The software for the lab part was really great; I thought it was well done. You have to...

  19. Neosho County Students?

    queenjean replied to nadjjaa's topic in General Nursing

    There are lots of ATI threads in the student forums; if the opportunity arises, I hope you encourage her to check the allnurses student nurse forum out. I bet she'd find it beneficial. She's also...

  20. when a boxer is cut

    queenjean replied to Agnus's topic in General Nursing

    Well, with that logic we could sexually assault them, too, because they won't remember it when they are older anyhow. I remember some studies coming out a while back that infants who had been...

  21. LPN to RN Online Openings

    queenjean replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Feel free to pm me through allnurses. Just click on my name, and choose the pm option.

  22. LPN to BSN on line courses

    queenjean replied to marietacandy1's topic in Online Distance Learning

    For just a little additional information, I did my LPN-RN mostly on-line through Pratt CC in Kansas. I say mostly because, of course, there were clinicals. Otherwise everything was on line. I'm...

  23. LPN to RN Online Openings

    queenjean replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It's kind of confusing, so let me give you a breakdown of how *my* classes and clinicals were. Nursing Transition: Mid November 2006 to beginning December 2006. Everything on-line except for one...

  24. LPN to RN Online Openings

    queenjean replied to PMFB-RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did my LPN to RN through them. Yes, they are NLN accredited. Yes, they are legit. Basically it is a community college (in Kansas many community colleges offer LPN certifications and ASN degrees)...

  25. Ever been shocked during a code?

    queenjean replied to jaccimv's topic in General Nursing

    I got "shocked" by the pt's internal defibrillator a couple of times while giving CPR. It was just a buzz sort of thing, it didn't hurt, but it freaked me out the first time it
