Unbelievable the one with the picture should consider a reading/spelling class before attending school. The errors in her ad don't exactly give one faith that she could excel as a atudent.

As a 7 year navy corpsman I am friends with dozens of Reagents/EC grads. They welcome veterans, LPN/LVN's, and EMT-P's(paramedics). People with enough medical/nursing knowledge and most importantly life experience to comprehend and do well. Most EC g...

I wish we had enough staff to cover that deal. My daughters are narrating a christmas play tonight at our church, and I'll be wiping somebody's butt. Then they have to wait until 7:30 tomorrow morning for me to get home from work. Thankfully the gir...

Taking and passing the LPN board would also demonstrate your commitment and applied knowledge. Have a sit down with the Dean of Nursing and if that doesn't work her/his boss. My argumentative nature would probably also direct me to a lawyer. Ny frien...

Keep in mind that the doc doesn't always make it clear to the patien/family why they are doing everything they do. Also pts/fams fail to ask questions of the doc for whatever reason they will ask you. I fyou can't explain to them in laymens terms why...

Perhaps spending a little time with the lowly aides and finding out what they do besides take breaks would be in everyones best interest. Since you are held responsible if they screw up I should think you would want to know what thry do. In the Marin...

Have all of you also wrote letters in regard to Jack on Will and Grace the "Murse"? :angryfire This guy here hates that and so do my hetero classmates. It continues to amaze me that a group that is less than 4% of the population insists on having a ...

I work 36 for 40 every weekend because I am a student. The "normal" staff in our ED works every other weekend.

We have 7 men in my A&P class. 2 military vets, one ex state cop, a paramedic, 2 young fellows and an OR tech. So far noone has hit on me and I haven't asked any of them out so I think we are either all straight or the closet is getting crowded. ...

Procedure responsibilities vary greatly depending on state nurse practice acts. In PA it is up to the institution and the competency training at the facility. Us ED Tech's at our place do catheters. Our skills vary greatly even in our department. OUr...

37,000 for your first job is nothing to sneeze at. Prove your skills and get som blood under your nails before you get arrogant about what you know vs. pay. Get ACLS, PALS, and maybe some trauma training. and drop the attitude about your B.S. because...
