RENAISSANCE RN

Hi, I live in Massachusetts and Grad. ( god willing in May with an ADN). The word on the street in Boston is that the major teaching hospitals are not taking new ADN grads and are only taking BSN's due to MAGNET status that they have aquired or that...

Hi, Just a thought. could the stress of your schooling be starting a reocurrance of your ED. keep an eye on it. Sometimes we formulate scenarios in order to back up or back in to a behavior. I know a lot of girls who got depressed and anxious duri...

most people when they do a wean, with pmv or not have a trach mask with humidifier. ( the strait o2 is very drying). It all depends on the situation. I have seen o2 piped into the side port of a pmv. trach pts are neck breathers. so usually the si...

I know what you are talking about, it happens all of the time. On a transport they send emts not paramedics. I would complain to the ambulance company you use. I am sure they want your business. Is there a reason why she wasnt medicated prior to ...

Hi, I feel for you. Sorry you are having such a hard time. Anxiety is awful and terrible to deal with. Although nursing is incredibly unpredictible, it sounds as though your floor is total chaos. I assure to you that anxiety is not crazy. anxiety ...

Hi, I hate to tell you what to do, however I feel that if you want to do Mental Health, there would be much more opportunity as a psych NP. Including medication management. 1. The first question is - Do you want to be a nurse? If so, then pursue it...

anyone have any info? BUMP

Never heard of this from anyone.. I can see if they were having you make up clinical hours. Quincy College has a very tough AD program, then again they are all tough. good luck!

I heard that in maine the shortage is severe. I know in Massachusetts it is tough. Tell her to contact recruiters.

6 months. I think that is a little excessive.

not only would there be no nurses if you eliminated people, there would be no MD's. I think it is responsible to take care of yourself. It is just like taking insulin for diabetes.

arent you covered by the ADA if you are treated?

I understand how dejected and sad you feel. I would feel the same way. Give yourself time. See if you get on Suzannes study plan. The only way that you are going to get that house built is if you pass the NCLEX and start working. Remember to bre...

I have seen this type combination of meds before in psych. Sometimes the atypicals can be used for off book reasons, not always psychosis. The medication can sometimes make the SSRI act quicker or agitation or as a prophalatic for psychosis. She s...

75 and passed. I felt like I failed as soon as I left. I think it is a normal occurance and feeling. It is all so stressful.

I know that other colleges do not have this policy. I sent you a PM.

Waltham is nice. It is about 45-30 minutes north of boston. It is not far from Leahey Clinic, and alot of the North Shore Hospitals. I am not sure of any good agencies in the north shore. Just wanted to welcome you to Mass.

kittens are easy, if you have 2 and dont mind the destruction of your home. I think with a puppy, you should wait. Dogs need people for good socialization.

Hi, If you dont want to go to a formal one. I know Leahy Clinic has a RN reentry program.

Very Frustrating.. I guess you just have to say that he is a human being and you did a very good job of treating him like one. You will run into many more like him, I am afraid. I know of a case while I was in Nursing School. I was observing the E...

I am not out yet, but I think I can understand. I think transitional periods are full of unknowns. Unknowns create anxiety. I think Nursing school is like that preverbial bottle that constantly is getting shaken. The students are all in it togethe...

Did you have an inside person at the hospital gerry? The nurse manager seems really agreeable.. do tell.. What are your methods for 2 offers already. Good luck on the NCLEX.

hi, if the meds are with a chain of stores. ie cvs or walgreens. Sometimes they will give you enough to get through the weekend. We did that one time with my mothers thyroid pills. it is worth the try.

Lena, I think that BIDMC since this is your 2nd interview, is a great sign.. Usually the 2nd interview means that you passed your first... God bless you, you are positive... Sending you good interview vibes.
