    EmeraldNYL replied to delirium's topic in General Nursing

    I am doing my OB clinical at a Catholic hospital and it is an absolutely gorgeous facility. The quality of care there is very high. However, they do not do abortions, tubals, any birth control (not...

  2. This is "how" Nurses divert drugs for their own use.

    EmeraldNYL replied to WriteStuff's topic in General Nursing

    No way!! This is a blatant invasion of privacy. Employees should only be tested if there is legitimate reason to suspect that they are

    EmeraldNYL replied to nursbee04's topic in General Students

    Best: Getting a really good evaluation from my prof at the end of the semester... it said something along the lines of "you're a natural, and you're going to be a great nurse" Worst: sometimes feeling...

  5. NJ CEO salaries obscene???

    EmeraldNYL replied to lee1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    In my sociology class in college we talked about how the average HMO CEO makes 6 million dollars a year. That is just greed, if you ask me. Why do CEO's get paid so much when we are the ones making a...

    EmeraldNYL replied to ucandoit's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my God!! Get out of that redneck town

  7. Still encountering racism on the job

    EmeraldNYL replied to ucandoit's topic in General Nursing

    Nursetl, do you work in a more rural area of Ohio or are you in a city? It's my opinion that more metropolitan areas have more diversity and are more tolerant. Not that we don't have racists in...

  8. Do they round up GPA's and if so when?

    EmeraldNYL replied to peaceful2100's topic in General Students

    My school is weird. In order to be standardized, if you have an 84.4, that is still a C. If you have an 84.5, then they will round you up to an 85, which is a

  9. Pharmaceutical Sales

    EmeraldNYL replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I applied for a pharm rep position before I decided to go to nursing school. The interviewer was a complete a$$ and asked me really personal questions. He was basically interested in how cutthroat...

  10. PA's doing Anesthesia??

    EmeraldNYL replied to smogmatt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I was considering PA school before nursing school, and I heard of this while I was shadowing a PA. Apparently, there is a school in Georgia (forget which one?) that trains PAs to do anesthetia....

  11. self-administered allergy shots

    EmeraldNYL replied to parker in arkie's topic in General Nursing

    I give my fiance his allergy shots at home, but he is a med student and I am a nursing student so we both know how to give them. The doc requires us to keep an epi pen at home, just in case, because...

  13. What Is Your Most Gross, Yucky, Disgusting Nursing Horror Story?

    EmeraldNYL replied to yazisizit's topic in Nursing Humor

    My friend told me this story (whose cousin is a Dr.) but it just sounds too unreal to me! Anyway, apparently this particular pt.'s orifice was completely covered with genital warts, so he had to get...

  14. Question: To organic or not to organic?

    EmeraldNYL replied to ufmatt's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm not an SRNA/CRNA, but I CAN tell you that O-chem sucks ass. I thought I'd be fine after I got a B in general chem, but I ended up failing O-chem and now I will have to retake it before I apply to...

  15. What Freaks You Out?

    EmeraldNYL replied to JennieBSN's topic in General Nursing

    This is such a great topic! I'm still a student, I can't wait to see what I'm in for! C-diff really skeeves me out but other than that I can handle smells and poop and stuff. I love watching...
