  1. anyone here from China?

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in International Nursing

    I am not wondering about nursing. I am wanting to know more about female infanticide in China. Does it still exist in high numbers for female babies? The reason I ask is because a relative went to...

  2. Do you think you are adequately compensated in your job as a nurse?

    ilmbg replied to *TK8's topic in General Nursing

    It is interesting that approximately 7/10 feel that they are grossly underpaid. And oh, how I do agree! nursing is a joke- you have said everything that I feel- and others have also. Unfortunately,...

  3. Cheating in the Classroom

    ilmbg replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It is sad to realize how much cheating goes on. I went to school going on 30 years ago, so I guess either I just wasn't aware of it or it wasn't as active as it is now. I have one thought though- no...

  4. Change

    ilmbg replied to Maco's topic in General Nursing

    You are in the time frame of typical nursing burnout- 3 years. Sad, isn't it, that in such demanding times, that there hasn't been any improvement in the '3 year burnout'. I love ED/Trauma! You have...

  5. giving report to rude nurses

    ilmbg replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    ilmbg replied to viper16731's topic in Government, Military

  7. How much SHOULD I make?

    ilmbg replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

    neatnurse- I do expect some areas, such as yours to have a higher income- just due to higher cost of living- but here it is 1/2 of what it is many places! I took a 1/2 pay cut when I came here....

  8. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    ilmbg replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If there are patients who only want 'young, good lookin' nurses....he would be out of luck on my floor- I think we are all over 50! And if patients can request young/good lookin' nurses- well, I want...

  9. How much SHOULD I make?

    ilmbg replied to kerric511's topic in General Nursing

    I read that the 'average' income for nurses is $62,000 a year. WHERE did these people come up with this figure- California or the New England states?? I know of NOBODY who earns that much- the...

  10. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    ilmbg replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    To the teenager in labor who says" I don't want to do this anymore"- Well, why didn't you think of that 9 months ago- just how did you think the baby was going to get out? To the new mother who is...

  11. Advair risks update?

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in Pulmonary

    Yes, I am aware of this. Maybe I didn't word my concern properly. I am wondering why there seems to be legal class action- why is Advair still being used/considered unsafe, as it has the steroid in...

  12. bioidentical hormones safety

    ilmbg posted a topic in General Nursing

    How many of you women are using bioidentical hormones? I go 'back and forth', trying to make up my mind if I feel they are safe to use. I have read multiple data on each side- some say 'not FDA...

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

  14. bioidentical hormones safety

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    Amy- can I ask about how old you are, and how much 'post menopausal' you are? I talked with the doc today- she says the risk is the same as HRT, cardiac.clots, CA. The longer you are on it the more...

  16. Working for the Indian Health Service

    ilmbg replied to Dempather's topic in General Nursing

    Go to USAJOBS.GOV That is the site for all gov jobs. If they still work the same (I have not worked for 9 years now), you have to already be through school, have 1 year experience in related field....

    ilmbg replied to nervous_lady's topic in International Nursing

    Hushdawg- you have some good points for nervous lady. Is there anyone at this forum who could advise her about which courses have great reputations? As far as the English language- I hope I didn't...

  19. just curious about Australia nurses/living

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for the reply! The more reading I do about your country, the more complicated it seems to get- but I'm sure that is because it just is not faniliar to me! Are your hospitals 'forced' to take...

  24. many nurses looking for hospital jobs- won't you consider

    ilmbg replied to ilmbg's topic in Florida Nursing

    No, I certainly would not recommend HH for a new grad. I didn't know the person asking was new. Also, I would think the company would not hire someone who is not competent - or at least I hope not....

    ilmbg replied to NurseExorcist's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear
