Neveranurseagain RN

I see that Arizona has just voted in to legalize medical marijuana if you have a recommendation from an MD. How does the BON in the states that have legalized medical marijuana react if you test positive but have an RX from an MD for it? Anyone had a...

My elementary school of 410 were donated 2 AED's by the fire sept. One is outside my office and the other one in the gym. But no one on my campus has been trained to use them...

My district has layed off all the RN's but one, and replaced them with a health aide. And the health aide job description doesn't even require them to have taken CPR/First Aid!!! They are going to be task trained by the RN to handle diabetes, asthma,...

You obviously didn't have poopphobia when you started nursing school.

I'm going to be working at a camp in Los Angeles that serves L.A. inner city kids. It should be rewarding and I can hardly wait til it starts.

This is why every nursing student needs to work as a CNA before they apply to nursing school. Then they would really know what being an RN really involves! What ever happened to this requirement? No wonder so many bimbos are going into nursing!

Profits are huge because we live in a capitalist society where health care is a business, just like Ford and VW are.

People need to not be concerned with their eligibility to be an organ donor if they have a preexisting condition. g ahead and sign up, and let the organ donation agency determine if you are a suitable donor or not. You may be surprised that you could...

At age 47, my husband became an organ donor. The man who received my husband's kidney had a baby boy on Aug. 23, 2010 that he and his wife named Thomas, after my late husband. Our children are now 15 and 17, and they each received their driver's lice...

From what I read on allnurses,I can foresee a day when nurses will be called Customer Service Reps!

Most people don't own their home and cars outright, the banks do and there is not enough equity in them to pay for the case. But if they want my 1998 Saturn they can have it!

I was the barn manager and large animal vet tech for a horse hospital in So California for many years. Administered all the general anesthesia--ever see the ET for a horse? They are actually fairly easy to intubate. I worked at the horse hospital ful...

Let me know what hospital you work at so I can choose another one! Check with your state BON--triage needs to be done by an RN.

I worked in California and schools will hire ASN RN's, but instead of being called school nurses, they are called school district nurses. I was classified as an RN-School District. You can be a nurse working for the school district, and don't need to...

To be a "School Nurse" in most states, but not all, require a BSN and a school nurse exam. But to be a nurse that works at a school, you only need to be an LVN/LPN or an RN. Clear as mud, LOL?

If she uses Nancy Smith, School Nurse, she may be violating state law, depending on which state you are in. I am an RN with an AA, and in my state you only need an AA with the school nurse classes, pass the exam, and then you are considered Nancy Smi...

I don't carry any malpractice insurance. I spent many, many hours with one of the top medical malpractice attorneys that is also an MD. He defined it as pretty simple: No malpractice insurance, no malpractice suits. Med mal is a VERY expensive field,...

Traumasurfer, I was an EMT-B, then an ER nurse at a Level 1 trauma center, then a Paramedic. I just recently moved and had to resign as the Nursing Director of an extreme sports facility and flew someone out every few weeks for ruptured spleens, head...

Come on Traumasurfer, you have turned this into a EMT/Paramedic bash! Grow up and stick to the topic and quite inciting people!

I always test BS in the classroom! I am the first one in the district to start doing it and make rounds 3 times a day for testing--I look like the snack/juice lady rather than an RN, LOL! But by the time the child headed to my office, checked their s...

Take your EMT class first--you will be amazed at how much you will learn and how to hustle.
