    chaxanmom replied to abbaking's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I spent this past summer working with SC patients and, with their help, made a scientific poster and brochure expressing what SC patients wish others knew about living with SC. This post very very...

  2. "Old" new-grads

    chaxanmom replied to Nurse Maria's topic in General Nursing

    You will be in the same pool. Our orientation group has May grads as well as December grads. They do spent more time reviewing fundamental stuff though because a lot of the group has been out of...

  3. how does nursing work for a military spouse?

    chaxanmom replied to ljn07's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 15 year Navy wife and have to ditto Jessic here. My husband is a GOB at the moment d/t the economy. I got a great job here in Maryland and his detailer sent him to Philadelphia so he's commuted...

  5. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    chaxanmom replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree about homeopathics. IMO they are not in the same ballpark as legit alternative treatments. The rationale is

  6. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    chaxanmom replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I would attribute most of the effect of homeopathic medicine to placebo effect but herbal remedies are very powerful, potent things. Ask Socrates if hemlock has a placebo effect. Nutrition has also...

  7. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    chaxanmom replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Not true. Naturopaths and osteopaths have their own board, code of ethics,

  8. The Public's Doubts About "Western Medicine"

    chaxanmom replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    The problem with some of these newer vaccines is that they get put on the market so fast that we find out after the fact that they aren't safe (Rotashield for example). Also, the fact that they are...

  9. Gardasil: has your daughter had this vaccine?

    chaxanmom replied to Morgan314's topic in General Nursing

    I have not and don't plan on it. The most oncogenic forms of HPV are sexually transmitted. If my daughter chooses to become sexually active then there are many other forms of protection that are less...

  10. States Who Have Banned HESI

    chaxanmom replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Banned?

  11. Night shift and daycare- ahh!

    chaxanmom replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    The OP didn't share a single detail about her marital breakup so it's safe to say you don't have a CLUE what you are talking about here. No one asked your opinion about her choices/circumstances. If...

  12. Night shift and daycare- ahh!

    chaxanmom replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    She's actually being very accepting of advice and was only "defensive" of your judgmental post. Telling her what she should have thought of before isn't helpful. And in this economy it's simply not...

  13. Night shift and daycare- ahh!

    chaxanmom replied to MissKitty21's topic in General Nursing

    I found many many leads on SitterCity.com. I'm not a single mother but my husband works 2 1/2 hours away during the week and I do rotating shifts too so I'm essentially going into this as if I were a...

  14. One Doctor's debt, a cautionary tale

    chaxanmom replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Exactly. I'm not sure where one would get the idea that they are exempted. My husband has been active duty for 15 years and has had to discipline his share of junior enlisted members due to

  17. Wait-listing at ISU for Phase II?

    chaxanmom replied to live&love&heal's topic in Online Distance Learning

    It says wait list for *phase III* not phase

  18. The college network lied to me. They're evil i tell ya!

    chaxanmom replied to live&love&heal's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I agree with the people who said get a lawyer. Also, notify the credit reporting agencies so they can mark that debt as disputed. You should be able to google the protocol for doing

  19. One Doctor's debt, a cautionary tale

    chaxanmom replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Being in the military does NOT protect you from bankruptcy affecting your credit record. It goes on the record of military members the same way it does everyone. This isn't new

    chaxanmom replied to live&love&heal's topic in Online Distance Learning

    FYI, TCN publishes the CSM modules but they are written by ISU professors who also write the challenge exams, not TCN

  22. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    Ok, must be a state specific requirement. :) Maybe that's why it's been so difficult for Illinois students? I completely understand your hesitancy and think its wise to have this figured out before...

  23. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    I didn't go to Terre Haute but I had classmates that did. :) The way I understand it is you do all the clinical hours in a lump. Like the psych one is 45 hours so they did that over the course of a...

  24. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    I just realized that I posted essentially the same thing just above. Oops. Oh well, you got the information twice.

  25. LPN to BSN @ Indiana State U...here is the info i got!!!

    chaxanmom replied to TashaLPN2006RN2012's topic in Indiana State University

    You don't need a master's prepared RN, just bachelors. Honestly, Illinois and California are a pain to get preceptors for according to my classmates in those areas. I graduated with a guy from...
