  1. Any Thoughts On Yuma?

    I will be the lone voice on this one. Yuma is great in the Winter. In addition; with all the snow birds flocking there, the hospital(s?) might need seasonal nurses. Most of the Mojave is dry in...

    This isn't a paradox; it is a legal issue. According to Silvestri's Comprehensive NCLEX-RN Examination edition 4 page 53 section D. If you 'walk out' when staffing is inadequate charges of...

    The Accelerated BSN that I have been accepted too tells us that we will *not* be able to work and get through this program. Go to school, get excellent grades, work later.

  13. Do you think doing this made me look bad?

    HR might remember you; and it is all good... 1) You were planning for if you were not accepted. 2) You told them right away that you *will* be a nurse. 3) *They* offered to talk to you again if you...

  16. Clinic recommendations for required titers?

  17. unruley teens

    It worked pretty well in the humor department... the kid busted out laughing and Chris kept going until she was laughing too.

    This made me smile. My wife has ordered a child to stand at the bottom of the stairs; she stepped up to the 2nd step and looked down at the child so she could chew him out properly... :)
  19. unruley teens

    25? Didn't work at my house... I just look at them when they're asleep and love them then... Rest of the time I'd rather hit them over the head with a brick... JK!!!! I understand it is supposed to...

  21. Why the fanny packs?

    I start NS Jun 9th and a "fanny Pack" is on UA Tuscon School of Nursing's list of optional items along with BP cuff and scissors. I can't see how the scissors are optional but, I'll pass on buying a...
  22. Is the NAvy right for me?

    A Navy Corpsman here who floated off the coast of Vietnam on 2 different aircraft carriers and starts an ASBN June 9th. When Kennedy got us into that war no one liked it either. When LBJ escalated it...
