  1. Bonus for Flight Nurses in Maryland/DC?

    Flagellum Dei replied to rmc2's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    If you take the job at Children's, the bonus is you get to work with me (though I think of it as "for me"). The bonus for me is I get to make fun of your silly red

  2. Looking for a good microbiology website

    Flagellum Dei replied to dana88daisy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Try this one from Dr. Gary Kaiser at The Community College of Baltimore County, in Catonsville, MD. http://student.ccbcmd.edu/~gkaiser/goshp.html Pete Fitzpatrick RN, CFRN, EMT-P Writing from the...

  3. Paramedics accused of molesting patients, how to prevent this charge?

    Flagellum Dei replied to emtj's topic in General Nursing

    I've been in EMS a while, and, frankly, I'm not really surprised by any of this. (though the numbers, for what is a small profession, are a bit staggering) Alone, in the back of an ambulance with a...

  4. Am I Wrong To Think This?

    Flagellum Dei replied to Bugaloo's topic in General Nursing

    How about offering to do some individual work on a performance improvement project. Probably falls into the same category on you eval check sheet - without the drive. Pete Fitzpatrick RN, CFRN, EMT-P...

  5. Help: My Nursing Instructor is a Bully!

    Flagellum Dei replied to MOLLBEE's topic in General Students

    An easy-to-love nursing instructor is like a happy childhood. Something that makes you miss it when it's gone, but did nothing to getting through your problems today. Embrace the darkness, confront...

  6. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    Flagellum Dei replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    In a certain context, yes. At issue here is that nursing school admissions are a zero-sum game. There's only so many seats. Every one that's given to a 50-year-old who will spend 15-20 years at the...

    In what way was UMB racist? Give

  8. considering nursing school at 45 yo

    Flagellum Dei replied to turtlesrus's topic in General Students

    If I can devil's advocate here for a moment, is it healthy for the profession to fill it with a large number of second-career folks who will spend a thrid to half the time at the bedside as a...

  9. Coppin

    Flagellum Dei replied to happy456's topic in Maryland Nursing

    For some the issue may well be race related. But racial implications aside, Coppin has, historically, among he lowest first-time NCLEX pass rates in the state. According to the Maryland Board of...

  10. Medical Marijuana for RN's

    Flagellum Dei replied to Graciegirlienurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Legalize! In 15 years of EMS & nursing, I've seen people who've overdosed on just about everything. Alcohol, legal drugs, illegal drugs, industrial compounds, and household products have all...

  11. UMD vs. Johns Hopkins

    Flagellum Dei replied to NeuroNP's topic in Maryland Nursing

    The VP of Nursing & Patient Care Services at JHH, Karen Haller is a doctor - of nursing. I work there, and love it - warts and all. I think the money is competitive, and the benefits first rate....

  12. Rushville, IN Helicopter Crash

    Flagellum Dei replied to sjt9721's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    I'd only get in an EMS-loaded 206 if it was the last aircraft lifting off a burning building. If the building was four stories or less, I'd take my chances with jumping. This was a tragedy. The loss...

  13. Should I keep my EMT license?

    Flagellum Dei replied to algebra_demystified's topic in General Nursing

    It's a lot easier to keep it than to get it back. I'd hold onto it for a few cycles to be sure. You'll need a current EMT-B cert to bridge to EMT-P as an RN. Pete Fitzpatrick RN, CFRN, EMT-P Writing...

  14. diseases common to nurses?

  15. Thinking to relocate, please help!!

    Flagellum Dei replied to emmsha's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Johns Hopkins hires new grads with ADN's. There are a number of RN-BSN programs locally, and JHH's tuition benefits are very good. Can't speak to apartments's but there's another new grad moving here...

  16. Any New Grads Starting at Hopkins

    Flagellum Dei replied to NewGradCara's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Great, just what this town needs - another Red Sox fan. Congratulations, in what unit will you be working? Most of the younger crowd seems to gravitate towards Federal Hill (South Baltimore, on the...

  17. Salary for JHH

    Flagellum Dei replied to yliurn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I really don't think the "priviledge" thing still exists throughout the institution. Like I said, it once was the norm, but it was found to be destructive. Some of that might still live in individual...

  18. Salary for JHH

    Flagellum Dei replied to yliurn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I think you'll find it rare to hear a nurse say something like: "The pay here is really great, and my schedule is too easy." Complaining about pay and schedules is as old at the hats, whites and the...

  19. Salary for JHH

    Flagellum Dei replied to yliurn's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I've found the pay better than average, and the benefits in the top tier for the area. [For Example: we have a fully-funded pension - pretty rare these days.] The nursing management states that they...

  21. Lopressor drip

    Flagellum Dei replied to traumagirll99's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    My wife almost got me a shirt for Christmas that read: "I'm a nurse - I keep the doctor from killing you". I don't think I've ever seen metoprolol in a continuous infusion, and I don't really think...

  22. Where does your hospital complete the first bath

    Flagellum Dei replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have no real input, but maybe some insight. After the birth of my daughter, with mom settled in her room and visitors arriving, I called the nursery and asked if my daughter could be brought over....

  23. CCBC-Catonsville Prenursing Spring Semester

    Flagellum Dei replied to sannmidd's topic in Maryland Nursing

    My class started with 56 and graduated 34, about seven or eight of those being retreads from the class before us. We lost about half the group in fundementals. We then pickup up about as many from...

  24. What to do while on waitlists?

    Flagellum Dei replied to salsaking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    An EMT class would cover some basic skills and knowledge that might be useful in the future. It's also a window into another healthcare

  25. She did not just say that . . .

    Flagellum Dei posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was at my son's school for American Education Week recently. His second-grade class was starting a new unit on "The People in Your Neighborhood". The unit focuses on the different people and...
