  1. Ot, Medical Question??

    dschueler replied to dschueler's topic in General Nursing

    What is Hypafix? Is that like 2nd skin?? I have some of that, but it is the silicone stuff, but the doc said last time not to use that until it was completely closed over. Funny how my body reacts...

  2. Ot, Medical Question??

    dschueler replied to dschueler's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I bet you are right. I didn't think of that. Oh well. I am thinking to just let it air dry anyway....and I already emailed my surgeon, just not sure if he will check his email tonight, but...

  3. $9.00 per hour as LVN in Orange County?

    dschueler replied to sweetface's topic in California Nursing

    Don't listen to everyone out there. I found tons of good jobs at pre op and PACU depts for same day surgery from 18-30/hr depending if you were with a registry or not. Don't listen to all of them,...

  4. I can't get a job, i'm so sad.

    dschueler replied to Lmex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Yep, I had my lower body lift in December, it was the hardest surgery I have ever had!! I am having my breast lift/augmentation on Thursday, if I don't do it now, I won't do it for over a year. (when...

  5. I can't get a job, i'm so sad.

    dschueler replied to Lmex's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    About the prisons and the job situation.... I saw on Craig's List last night several jobs in the OC that were in private plastic surgeon's office. They did not say how much they paid, but it was...

  6. Schools without waiting lists

    dschueler replied to P_RN's topic in General Students

    My son attends Oral Roberts University in Tulsa, OK....and there is NO wait list, and everyone who applies to the nursing program, basically gets in. You just have to promise to keep your grades...

  7. frustrated lvn trying to get in to a rn program

    dschueler replied to Mcfly10's topic in LPN to RN

    CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!! That is the one class I have trouble with too!! I can do all the geometry and other science classes, but I have always had a mental hangup with Algebra!! I know you feel a real...

  8. frustrated lvn trying to get in to a rn program

    dschueler replied to Mcfly10's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks for the info. When you say you have to have a 3.0, from what, LVN school?? I plan on doing Stanbridge's program like the WCC, they plan to open one just like the one you are talking about. I...

  9. Passed my Entrance Exam and start LVN program in June

    dschueler posted a topic in California Nursing

    Anyone in the OC going to or planning to start Stanbridge College's LVN program?? I am starting the full time program on June 18th, and I am praying it is going to be pretty easy. I was in 3...

  10. Would YOU pay $38,000 for RN school?

    dschueler replied to BigB's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    PS. $38k for an RN for only 8 months is fair. Colleges now a days cost $30k per year, so you are looking at $100k for a BSN (which my son is doing). His tuition is $25k, plus room and board, so we...

  11. Would YOU pay $38,000 for RN school?

    dschueler replied to BigB's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Well, I probably will. I know here in CA, it is related to what RN's make, and because the starting pay for RNs is pretty high, they feel they can charge an arm and a leg. For me not to have to wait...

  12. LVN programs in Orange County/LA

    dschueler replied to SashaO's topic in California Nursing

    I just enrolled in Stanbridge and my classes start (full time) June 18th. That week is the introduction to nursing class, and then on the 25th the program starts full time. I am excited about it and...

  13. $9.00 per hour as LVN in Orange County?

    dschueler replied to sweetface's topic in California Nursing

    No Way, unless it was a private person offering that little amount of money...or the person just did not hear right. I know that Mission Hospital starts in the 20's and I heard with no benefits or prn...

  14. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    dschueler replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    Actually I have seen where Disney is usually looking for RNs to work in the park and at their clinic for the hotel guests :LOL: :) It might be fun, or it could burst the bubble of Disney, ya know??...

  15. Where Is The Worst place to work in Florida?

    dschueler replied to MsMorningGlory's topic in Florida Nursing

    My mom had cardiac cath done at St Vincent's in Jax. I loved that hospital, and everyone was very friendly, and the nurses all seemed to like it there. The doctors were not pains, and seemed to...

  16. Expierienced nurses, pleases answer this question for me.

    dschueler replied to nautica843's topic in General Nursing

    Well if she was on the meds (glucophage I am guessing??) and it went to 135, that is still high. You typically want it under 100 fasting, and if it rose to 135 after a meal, that is not too bad. 253...

  17. Weird habits you've picked up since starting Nursing school

    dschueler replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    Washing my hands in public places, and then getting the paper towels and turning off the faucet and opening the door without touching the handles....been doing that one for years!! :)

  18. Unitek College LVN program... good or Bad??

    dschueler replied to iheartnursing_cali's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would go with any school at this point, if I could do it quickly. I also think the 40k is really high, but at least it IS an option, and the money you would make as an RN, sooner than sitting on a...

  19. No one's hiring LVN's these days

    dschueler replied to sweetface's topic in LPN to RN

    Thanks, I appreciate it!! It was tough!! ANYONE who says Gastric Bypass is the easy way out is CRAZY!! It is not easy by any means!! I really would love to work in that part of nursing given the...

  21. No one's hiring LVN's these days

    dschueler replied to sweetface's topic in LPN to RN

    Also, I looked online here in the SoCal area, and there were lots of jobs with Kaiser Permanente, but a lot of them were on call, in LA or other areas far from where I would live. I did see one in...

    dschueler replied to sweetface's topic in LPN to RN

    I don't remember what SNF means ?? Its been over 15 years since I was in nursing school. Senior something Facility?? Sorry, can't remember :)

  23. Are LPN/LVNs a dying breed?

    dschueler replied to Trophywife81's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Agreed!!!!!

  24. No one's hiring LVN's these days

    dschueler replied to sweetface's topic in LPN to RN

    That is awful!! I was in RN and LPN school in IL before. Belleville. (Hubby was in the Air Force, so we moved, and got re-stationed there 2x). I should have stayed the 6 months and finished there,...

  25. LPN to RN or LPN to BSN? Help Please

    dschueler replied to aa24212's topic in LPN to RN

    Why would it take you an additional year before you could get your license?? If you are young enough (aren't we all??) and strong enough (I have learned college is all perseverance) why not shoot for...
