  1. Entering Nursing School in August

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Ang_RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If your watch doesn't have one already, get something cheap with a second hand on it. You will need this during physical assessment for timing respirations, HR,

  2. Wanting to know about psychiatric facilities in MD/DC area?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to LadyJRN1's topic in Maryland Nursing

    OK, I don't know what the pay etc is like, but I did my psych clinical rotation at Montgomery General in Olney MD and I have to say that I REALLY liked the place. Small hospital with a very friendly...

  3. Sickest you have ever been, and still expected to work.

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm waiting until I win the lottery so that I can call in rich! Until then, I guess I will be dragging my butt in half dead like the rest of

  4. Washington Hospital Center Fellowship

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Flagger03's topic in General Nursing

    Can I ask if anyone knows what the union dues are? The salary sounds good, but if the dues are high..... Also, I have heard that parking is a problem/expensive there. Do staff have to pay? Thanks...

  5. Sadistic CI? I need an opinion.

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to AliveToday's topic in General Students

    Humor is very much in the eye of the beholder. I think the mistake this CI made was to send this out to students presumably before you have even met her. I would give her a chance if this is the...

  6. Thank you....all of you

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to southlandshari's topic in General Nursing

    We should be thanking you, for reminding us of why we started this journey in the first place. I cannot imagine having the grace and forgiveness that you have now if I had suffered through eye-ball...

  7. What do you think of this comment?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to zenurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't live in a rural area, in fact I live in one of the largest metropolitan areas in the U.S. Unfortunately, I had a similar problem. Couldn't even get a return phone call, let alone an...

  8. Is this possible?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to LovebugLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Curious, because I take Protonix, where did you hear

  9. I just can't do it....

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to luvmy3kids's topic in General Nursing

    Nobody can ever fault you for doing what you believe is the best thing for your family. When you are ready to come back, we will be here waiting for you with open

  10. nurse vs doctors

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to monkeymedic's topic in General Nursing

    I just put my finger on why I found the OP offensive. It is demeaning, to both professions. We spend a great deal of time promoting professionalism and collaboration with other healthcare workers, and...

  11. nurse vs doctors

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to monkeymedic's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder, was one of those "appetitude" tests spelling by any chance? Come on, if you are going to post something that is basically questioning the intelligence of others, perhaps you should proof...

  12. It's OK to take fosamax with other meds?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Blackcat99's topic in Patient Medications

    My PDA: "PO: Administer first thing in the morning with 6-8 oz plain water 30 minutes before other medications, beverages, or

  13. Career ending mistakes?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to emsillystudent's topic in General Nursing

    So far as malpractice insurance goes, as far as I am concerned my home, my possessions, my retirement savings, etc., are my assets. Why would I trust it to someone else to protect them? Get your own...

  14. i got a needle stick today need prayer

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    So sorry. You are in my thoughts and

  15. is this legal

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to looking for answers0's topic in General Nursing

    I may just be a newbie to this site and student nurse right now, but I have been in jobs involving direct patient care for over 10 years. I know what it is like to be disrespected and abused (both...

  16. is this legal

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to looking for answers0's topic in General Nursing

    I truly hope that I NEVER get so jaded that I blow off patients in such a disrespectful and negligent way. Every patient deserves better than that, I don't care who they are. Like the above poster...

  17. surviving school without study partners

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Jaxs's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Maybe if you want to stay "in the loop" with what is going on you should volunteer for a position on the student council, national student nurses association, or whatever other body they have at your...

  18. medications used

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to momandstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    OK, I would recommend resting up and enjoying the summer, but if you are absolutely determined to learn something, these are a few things that I wish I had been better prepared for in Med-Surg. Things...

  19. *Sigh* How do I tell my family?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to HisTreasure's topic in General Nursing

    I think what will make you a "better person" is when you make the decision that is best for your children (whatever that turns out to be) instead of allowing your cousin to have such an enormous...

  20. Essays being written by 3rd parties - your views.

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Word Perfect's topic in General Nursing

    Ohhhhhh -

  21. Essays being written by 3rd parties - your views.

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to Word Perfect's topic in General Nursing

    I'm glad to hear you feel bad, because I feel pretty bad when I turn in a paper that I have busted my butt over and am being graded alongside people who have paid for essays written by professionals....

  22. Vent! Inconsiderate None NS Students!

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to drosagain's topic in General Students

    What bothers me more than these inconsiderate students, are the professors who pretend like there is nothing they can do about it. How about tell the whole class that cell-phones must be turned off,...

  23. I'm just trying to help you!

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to jessiern's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like it could be one of two things: 1) She is "one of those", or 2) She has REALLY been burned! Take her out after shift one day and buy her a drink. Let her know that you have a great...

  24. Aiming too high?

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to heymeghann's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I really don't see any reason why you wouldn't stand as good a chance as anyone else. It demonstrates character that you went back and got your GED and I think they will consider that when looking at...

  25. Trite Management Platitudes

    TakeTwoAspirin replied to IndySkies's topic in General Nursing
