  1. Does anyone else find this offensive?

    oneLoneNurse replied to megan3485's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with tyvin MAs may be cheapening 'our' profession. This may be a challenge for 'our' profession in the future. When it comes to LPNs, UNA talks out of both sides of its

  2. Do Nurses STILL want to marry Doctors?

    oneLoneNurse replied to showbizrn's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Leslie's "i'd marry a veterinarian." I am dating one and am enthralled. She is kind, intelligent, sweet, and hot. We seem to be an unbelievable

  6. ? Fine for chewing gum?

    oneLoneNurse replied to jmtndl's topic in General Nursing

    It has to be an urban myth. The Occupational Safety and Health Administration's mission would not have chewing gum as an employee under their domain. Please check out their mission statement at...

  8. Will I get fired for being absent too long d/t unexpected surgery? I need advice

    oneLoneNurse replied to ARRR10's topic in General Nursing

    I think you won't be fired for this behavior, but it may flag you for other observations. I would endeavor to go beyond their expectations for probation, be on time, don't call off and perform well....

  9. male pts who pull out foleys?

    oneLoneNurse replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    Yow, that hurts! But, elderly, confused elderly men do that. They need soft restraints to keep them from doing it. Don't feel bad. It's something that may be necessary depending on the

  11. Minnay studyguides

    oneLoneNurse replied to Marisela01's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I did call them yesterday. They gave me another Pathophysiology model, but it is not audio and that is the only reason I bought the package. I may give them another call. I still find listening to the...

  12. Minnay studyguides

    oneLoneNurse replied to Marisela01's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I was fine with them being a copy cat. All I wanted was a nice Audio experience. This recording irks me. I am nervous enough about Patho, and find the "OKs" off this recording anxiety provoking. Did...

  13. Minnay studyguides

    oneLoneNurse replied to Marisela01's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I purchased their Patho tutorial. There is a student commenting "OK" after almost every phrase the lecturer states. Unless you want to listen to "OK" alot don't purchase their Patho tutorial. I...

    oneLoneNurse replied to silentmonolith's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I live in the US and have nine and a half years in healthcare IT. To get into the field in TO you need to know someone. Witness the recent debacle with the ON agency dealing with the EMR. I knew...

  17. RN to BSN online???

    oneLoneNurse replied to PANURSE15009's topic in General Nursing

    I highly recommend Clarion University's online RN-BSN program. They charge 102% tuition for those out of state (PA). Professors have been kind so far. Shop around; I don't think you will find a...

  18. Where's the Beef when it comes to your Nurse Manager?

    oneLoneNurse replied to thegreenmile's topic in General Nursing

    Fortunately, I don't have one. I work nights and they usually leave me alone. One characteristic I seek in a manager is that he/she does not micro manage. Makes sure you have the training and skill...

    oneLoneNurse replied to NotReady4PrimeTime's topic in Canada

    This does not look good for those of us intending a move home to Canada. I think the layoffs/buyouts in AB will have a ripple effect. I know many people relocated to AB from the

  23. Overtime pay for nurses

    oneLoneNurse replied to Adam111's topic in Nursing Career

    You betcha, anything over 40 hours where I work, must be paid at time and a half. It sure makes a difference on my yearly wage. I work 12 hour shifts so the first shift has 4 hours of non overtime,...
