Is anyone a OHN for Ford Motor Company? Looking for any info as far as job satisfaction, schedule, benefits, pay, etc.!! Thanks!

We had heard the 18 month rumor today and asked Dara about it....she said no way, it was staying at 15 or 18 whichever the student preferred. I have micro next quarter and am not looking forward to it at all!!!!!!!!! But thankfully they did listen an...

The RN program is 15 months or 5 quarters. If you have pre-requisites you do not graduate any quicker, it just lessens your course load. The people that have them normally only take about 3 classes a quarter...unfortunately I didn't have any and I ta...

I graduated on a Fri. from LPN and starting RN the next Monday. I would not recommend taking a break, you are already in the swing of things! Don't stress about getting accepted, I'm sure you guys will have no problems!:)

I am a graduate of the Galen LPN program and in my 2nd quarter of their RN program. I graduated from the LPN with honors and currently have a 3.7 in the RN program. IF you work hard and truly want to be a nurse, Galen is a wonderful school and you wi...

No, known of these babies are white. I did not know Barack was a common Middle Eastern name, I had never heard that name before Obama. Also Miley has become a very popular girl name here. I know one pt. let her 7 yo daughter name her new sister a...

After thinking about this....... Remember, a care plan is a building block that YOU have to build, not a book! Look at the here and now, what is going on with your patient at this moment. Setting goals based on your diagnosis is gonna be tricky. D...

It sound to me like he has Disturbed sensory perception, visual r/t hallucinations. If he is seeing black, and eyes, those are hallucinations. I think that book is just a guide when it comes to the R/T part.

Should have known it was coming...........we had 3 deliveries last week that were boys named Barack!

I am a student set to graduate from an LPN program in 9 weeks. I am currently assigned to a clinical rotation on a unit that has 6 inpatient hospice beds. I do not know the requirements to be admitted to these beds, but from what I have seen most i...

I am a student set to graduate in 9 wks. I obviously have no experience with sleep meds. because my clinicals have all been during the day. I am hopeful to get a 7p-7a rotation and would like to know why you would not give sleep meds past 1am. I ho...

Have you checked the scope of practice for your state comparing a Paramedic and an RN? I am in KY and we hire Paramedics to work in the ER and on our medical flight crews, they are the trauma gurus!

I am a nursing student set to graduate in January. I have done very well in school and have worked really hard. I started Mental Health 7 weeks ago and am having a really hard time with it. I have an awesome teacher who is more than qualified and I r...

I would also say Impaired skin integrity r/t immobility AMB reddened areas over boney prominences. Don't second guess yourself girl...you got it!

I am the same as MrsCD. I COULD NOT, I repeat COULD NOT have done it without my husband! He is the best study buddy and always made sure the kids were taken care of while I was at school or studying. As long as your husband is supportive and realize...

I would say C. I've noticed on most of our tests the right answer is normally the least invasive and simplest.

Tough choice. In my area social workers need bachelors degrees and there is no difference between your ADN and your BSN when it comes to nursing unless you want to be in management. If you truly love both...go for the money! Social worker (5 days ...

I am not sure what you are trying to ask or the point you're trying to make? Bottom line, we live in America where you can decide the career that is best for you. Nobody is forcing you to become a nurse and if you have such a negative impression o...

I am a 32 yo former stay at home mom and currently a nursing student. You will learn in your 1st nursing and healthcare class that you are at your learning prime. I am 100x's the student I was 15 yrs ago. It is hard, but if it is really what you wa...

It's nurses like you who made me want to become a nurse. In case nobody has told you, thank you for taking your time to make a difference in someone's life! You're awesome!

My mom has been an x-ray tech for 35 yrs. and tried to get me to go into it, but nursing was a better match for me. Here are a few reasons: I am a people person. I like to get to know people and somewhat bond with them. In nursing I am able to do ...

Oh yeah, and to answer your question. Eat a good breakfast, and ask for a chair if you need one. Trust me they have student nurses go down all the time. They have the chairs ready! Rub a little Vicks under your nose if there is gonna be any carte...

You CAN do it! It's only one day and you never have to do it again! That's the great thing about nursing. We have so many opportunities to work in areas that won't make us lose our lunch! Keep your eye on the prize!

So, after having the most overwhelming week at school with tests in all classes and CPE's, I was excited to get together with my monthly bunco group last night. Not everyone in the group knew I was in nursing school until last night and when one of ...

I cannot give you any clinical reasons, but I can tell you my experience with it. I noticed a few months after it was placed that although my periods had ceased, I had extreme PMS and was eating excessive amounts. It was weird, but I did gain 20 pds....
