  1. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    Quickbeam replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I'd also like to chime in that I detect a subtle theme of "well, we'll all take our turn" at pregnancy. I resent that assumption. Your male co-workers won't and neither will an increasing number of...

  2. "But I'm pregnant . . ."

    Quickbeam replied to Ruby Vee's topic in General Nursing

    I worked for 5 years at a pediatric specialty hospital. This hospital liked to hire GNs right out of school vs nurses from other locales. Therefore, everyone was relatively young and in the serious...

  3. But I have little kids!

    Quickbeam replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I've read this entire thread. I think it is a very important issue. The inequities over time off/vacation/scheduling between parents and non-parents was one of the main reasons I left the bedside...

  4. Do you have to pay for parking?

    Quickbeam replied to JJFROG's topic in General Nursing

    I work in Madison WI where parking is a nightmare worthy of a big city. I pay 25$ a month for a clean, well lit lot. I work in an office so all the gov't employees (some making barely 10$ an hour)...

  5. What is the average GPA req for NP programs

    Quickbeam replied to foreverhope's topic in General Nursing

    I know quite a few schools of nursing that base the GPA question on the cash in your bank account. Graduate programs are revenue generators for a lot of schools of nursing. Your ability to pay goes a...

  6. Non-nursing B.S. what's my move B.S.N or ADN??

    Quickbeam replied to lulu4's topic in General Nursing

    I should have added more to my earlier post. I had a non-nursing BS and was changing careers. It WAS actually faster for me to go through an accelerated BSN program than to go through an ADN program....

  7. Non-nursing B.S. what's my move B.S.N or ADN??

    Quickbeam replied to lulu4's topic in General Nursing

    Yes there is a difference between a BS (non-nursing) and a BSN. I have both. I'd encourage anyone interested in nursing today to consider a BSN. Many jobs other than hospital nursing require a BSN. A...

  8. Help!On the job injury!!!

    Quickbeam replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    I want to emphasize how very regional WC law is in the US. Some states have excellent law and are pro-employee, others are very archaic and lean heavily towards the employer. You need to know your...

  9. salivary stone

    Quickbeam replied to jwy66's topic in General Nursing

    I had a co-worker once who got salivary stones all the time. They would work their way out on their own. He'd pull them out of his mouth from time to time. Knowing I was going to nursing school, he'd...

  10. CRRN exam and renewals

    Quickbeam replied to Enright's topic in Rehabilitation

    I just read that the CRRN-A or the certification for Master's prepared nurses, is being eliminated. I understand they had very very few people certify over the years it was offered and that there are...

  11. Nurses Don't Accept Gifts

    Quickbeam replied to roxannekkb's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught "no gifts, no exceptions" as a CNA and that has stood me in good stead during my RN career as well. (This was also true in my prior career as a probation officer for juveniles). I think...

  12. CRRN exam and renewals

    Quickbeam replied to Enright's topic in Rehabilitation

    I see this isn't an active thread but I also had a problem with credits for the recert. I think the organization needs to work on this as it is an expensive thing to accumulate so many CEUs (esp if...
