    BSN strait into DNP?

    ghillbert replied to Student4_life's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Of course it's possible, but that doesn't mean it's smart. DNP is a clinical doctorate which means you're a clinical expert in some area. How do you choose an area with no experience? What are you...

    How would you handle this?

    ghillbert replied to tatara's topic in General Nursing

    Thank god I've never had to deal with this. I don't know what I'd

    Vaccinated and Sick--But I'd do it again

    ghillbert replied to Sonia,RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I'd tend to blame the live virus vaccine more than the H1N1 shot. In any case, if you work with vulnerable populations, you'd be smart not to be around patients for the week that you're shedding virus...

    anyone can help me how to be a nurse in las vegas?

    ghillbert replied to razzz's topic in International Nursing

    If you sister is in Las Vegas legally as a USC, she can apply for an immigrant visa for you. This will take 8-10 years. That is really the only option open to you right

    tourist visa granted but went home to the philippines

    ghillbert replied to gracielle86's topic in International Nursing

    Being granted a visa does not give you the right to enter the US. It gives you the right to attend the border and APPLY to enter the US. It's up to the border officials whether you come in after...

    Scared to move for job..anyone done it?

    ghillbert replied to NurseDevonL's topic in General Nursing

    I am single, and lived at home with my parents until I was 28. When I was 29, I took a job in another state that was a 10hr drive away. Moving out of home and out of state and to a new job was...

    i'm not going to address the nursing care plan, but will try to give you some info to understand the pathophysiology of the patient's condition. the patient has left sided heart failure, as evidenced...

    In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

    ghillbert replied to ciufi's topic in International Nursing

    Hmm if he's EB3 then it may be a long time until he gets his GC (hoping the H1B doesn't time out). I would think in that case the only way you're going to get to work is if you get your own work visa...

    Approved CES and BON

    ghillbert replied to Obansu's topic in International Nursing

    Don't know what you mean by that. The BON you need depends on where you want to work. If you need a MA license, then you're going to have to deal with the MA BON either now or

    Uninsurable because she was raped.....

    ghillbert replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My reading comprehension is just dandy, thanks. It seems, however, that yours is somewhat insufficient. "In no way, shape or form did I say I love that she was raped." I didn't suggest that you did....

    Uninsurable because she was raped.....

    ghillbert replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    The rape is "unfortunate" and you love that she's been denied coverage because of it? What a truly distasteful

    Approved CES and BON

    ghillbert replied to Obansu's topic in International Nursing

    Of course, the BON can make their own decisions if they are not convinced of the hours. However - it sounds like your problem is PCS and not the BON. I don't understand why PCS says to get a CES and...

    In VA looking for a petitioner (currently on H4)

    ghillbert replied to ciufi's topic in International Nursing

    People who don't know what the heck they are talking about should probably refrain from replying to immigration-related threads and confusing the OP. Ciufi clearly stated that she is on H4 currently....

    I have just had a positive PPD

    ghillbert replied to jlrose's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the poster above me. There is no way I would take the meds if I had a clear

    family problems

    ghillbert replied to Kari Whitey's topic in General Students

    I would talk to them and explain that you are happy to have them involved, but that they need to talk amongst themselves and come up with a spokesperson. The designated spokesperson is the only one...

    Dual Intent - TN and green card

    ghillbert replied to firstyearRN's topic in International Nursing

    In theory, you make sure you have enough time left on your TN to cover you until you get the immigrant visa. As you know, you can't get one now so it would be useless to submit the paperwork. For TN...

    H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    ghillbert replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Oh my bad, I didn't see where the employers would break your legs on the way out of the hospital so you would "lose your livelihood" (nice emotive language there...). How is being mandated to receive...

    H1N1 vaccine... why it should be MY choice!

    ghillbert replied to miss81's topic in Disaster Preparation

    NOONE is being "FORCED" to take any vaccine. Employers are well within their rights to mandate vaccination for their staff - and employees are well within their rights to not work there. Employers...

    Do you actually wear gloves/gowns/masks ?

    ghillbert replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Nursing

    When I'm at the grocery store, I don't stop off to visit several immunocompromised patients on the way home. PPE is to protect your PATIENTS from YOU and having infections spread to your other...

    Does Pittsburgh have grads in December?

    ghillbert replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Do you know any nurses who DON'T dog about pay and parking?? Heh. I agree that many of the CHP nurses are less than thrilled with the new hospital, which surprises me - having worked there a few...

    Does Pittsburgh have grads in December?

    ghillbert replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    UPMC has a hiring freeze on until they inventory their Braddock staff and find them new jobs elsewhere. I heard this should take about a month then things will open up again. Children's seems to be...

    CGFNS exam, anything new, is the study guide enough?

    ghillbert replied to travleur's topic in International Nursing

    The endorsement was quite fast, a couple of weeks maybe. I was in Australia when I got my VT license, definitely didn't give a US address when I applied for VT licensure. Then took the exam in Sydney...

    CGFNS exam, anything new, is the study guide enough?

    ghillbert replied to travleur's topic in International Nursing

    Probably too late now, but it's probably silly to do the CGFNS exam. I understand you want to work in PA? That's where I work. I got licensed in VT then endorsed over to PA - much easier than paying...
