  1. Internal radium implant......

    Answer #1: The room isn't being bombarded with radiation--just around the patient's groin. Radium is an ionizing radiation (like X-ray), it passes right through you. Unless you're working very close for a very long time, then the danger to you incr...
  2. While in Nursing School, I had to work full-time, 48 to 56 hours/week. My old job was ending. Management had given us ample warning of closure, hence, nursing school. They also paid for Nursing School. No part-time option. Frankly, I made too much mo...
  3. can't believe what they are doing ..

    Because, they conveniently leave off the word--"experienced"---experienced nursing shortage. :grn:
  4. can't believe what they are doing ..

    No, Jackie, that's not what Prestige means. You start Nursing School--I promise you, after your first clinical rotation---you'll understand exactly what Prestige is saying. You're about to enter a world that makes absolutely no sense, plays by its ow...
  5. can't believe what they are doing ..

    Exactly! I have a Nurse/Educator friend, and she told me the very same thing---almost word for word. Plus--high failure rate in 1st year Nursing makes the school look bad. As to people having a degree, and being able to get a job with the degree---t...
  6. Looking for a hospital

    They only hire BSN's. My school has tried for years to get ped's clinicals for students. Absolutely, won't do ADN programs.
  7. Looking for a hospital

    I hope you and wife really research her desire to live in the mountains. As a Colorado resident, I can't tell you how many people I've seen --- really, really want to live in the mountains. Then reality sets in---astronomical rents, even higher price...
  8. I'm just, disgusted........whatever.

    I really like the way you think--very good answer for that particular question.
  9. I'm just, disgusted........whatever.

    Excellent damage control!!!!
  10. Nurses with a masters don't do beside nursing ?

    Some people only have taste in their mouths!
  11. New Grad, Denver/Colorado Springs area

    The guys liked DH because, it's a very busy place, lots of things going on all the time. DH is a love/hate thing---either you really love it, or you really hate it.
  12. New Grad, Denver/Colorado Springs area

    It's really hard to answer your question. Do you just want to get a foot in the door? Now bear in mind, I haven't worked as a nurse at these facilities, but I've done clinicals at most of them. If you want a chance to expand your horizons--shoot for ...
  13. Hi JLForever, I can answer your question about Boulder. The city of Boulder only has one hospital---Boulder Community Hospital, they have satellite facilities around town. As far as I know, Boulder Community isn't fond of hiring new grad nurses. I ...
  14. "New Nurses's Don't Know Anything."

    I was wondering about that myself. Hmm, must be a bunch of half-dead people running around, or would that be half-alive????
  15. throw me to the wolves

    We were split between 2 floors, 3rd and 4th semester. Our CI was a phone call away, in the building, and checked with us constantly. If she absolutely couldn't make it to our floor, we'd ask our assigned nurse. Most times, the nurse would help. If th...
  16. Should I help or not help?

    dear daytonite,thank you so much for your hard work on your posts! i have a resource study notebook, and three/quarters of the content are your posts. your posts are an automatic read for me. to the op: it's selfish to depend solely on the hard work...
  17. Kind of a werid question about nursing school

    Cool! We got to practice on a banana. Supposedly, the banana is close to the real thing, in feel.
  18. Why I stick to online classes....

    I feel sorry for that girl. It's obvious, she suffers from opticrectitis---her head is stuck up her you know what!I have a little mantra I recite to myself, whenever I'm faced with massive stupidity----You can't fight stupid! I say that to myself, a...
  19. Please help - should I just quit Nursing school?

    Absolutely not! Don't make me cyber-punch you in the arm! Something very similiar happened to me 2nd semester. My CI was younger, about the same age as the others in my group. I was 20 years older than the CI and the rest of my group. She clicked wi...
  20. Do I Have What It Takes!!!

    Exactly!!! I really don't give a poop about "x" or "n"! Nursing math does make sense.
  21. coworker complained: I dared to say "butt."

    Some people just don't have a sense of humor, or their sensibilites get ruffled easily. Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez! I think, that woman needs a life! :rotfl:
  22. Her perfume stinks!!

    I love perfume, or scent! But.....I absolutely don't wear any at the hospital. I even use unscented deodorant. Hmmm, doesn't your hospital have a "No scent policy"? Ours does, and they enforce it. I hope you can resolve this issue. I'll keep my f...
  23. Shot myself in the foot..

    You're getting great advice from the other posters. Just wanted to add---Don't give up!
  24. Must be a CNA to Get Into Nursing School?

    I agree! My school didn't require CNA, and I wasn't one. I went into nursing school without the simplest skills. It was hard for me, always coming from behind to catch up. Fortunately, my study group had several CNA's, and they took me under their w...
  25. Failed Math

    WhoooooooooooHooooooooo, Kynlee!!!!!!!!!! Congrats!!!!!!
