  1. Merck To Offer Free Medicines For Low-income Patients

    nekhismom replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    ITA!!! Then, everyone benefits, and seniors won't HAVE to exhaust their $600 limit on Merck

  2. Medical patients on post-partum floor?

    nekhismom replied to tiliimnrn's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I don't think infected patients should be on the same floor as newborns. Period. You wouldn't put a pt. with TB in the same room with someone who has leukemia, would you? As for having "clean"...

  3. Frontline Fury

    nekhismom replied to mspringer's topic in General Nursing

    Good job of handling the situation, and of handling yourself! I know many students who would have broken down under similar circumstances. Yay to

  4. I'm looking for Nursing School Type Practice questions that are harder...

    nekhismom replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    It does to me, Roland. Actually, I am studying for NCLEX now, and I am looking for something other than the book I am using. I used the NSNA nclex review during school, and I loved the info outline...

  6. Specialization after Graduation???

    nekhismom replied to mspringer's topic in General Nursing

    Now, I know I am a new grad and all, and I also know that I DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING, but this is MHO: I PERSONALLY could not have tolerated a med/surg floor for a year. I would work ANYWHERE other then...

  7. How many of you are perfect?

    nekhismom replied to orrnlori's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, there was only one perfect person, and I *ain't* him, althought I aspire to be like

  8. If I hear 'C Nurses make the best nurses' one more time I will scream!

    nekhismom replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Students

    Oh, i was SOOOO sick of hearing that in school!!! My best friend and I always had very high grades, usually the highest in the class, and we studied together. Other students got jealous of us and...

  9. NCLEX on Tuesday

    nekhismom replied to BMTgn's topic in First Year After Licensure

    BMT, I think you might be over doing it a bit! All day NCLEX review? I would pass out from exhaustion! Try to give yourself a break from all of this studying. Overstudying can be a very bad...

  10. What does your post name reflect about you?

    nekhismom replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    No originality here! It's simple. I'm the mom of Nekhi. See my avatar for a

  11. Hospitals with good incentives for new grads???

    nekhismom replied to leisa22's topic in General Nursing

    Amen Deb! You should evaluate more than just the sign on bonuses being offered. Benefits are important, as are working conditions. Ask a few nurses away from the prying eyes of the managers what it...

  12. Specialization after Graduation???

    nekhismom replied to mspringer's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Deb. Med Surg is a specialty. I think the cookie cutter approach of everyone specializing or not is not applicable. Because no matter what you do, it is specialized in some degree....

  13. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    nekhismom replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the childcare center described above would be wonderful, day or night. Nurturing care givers are a must, and all the little extras are important. I definately could NOT afford $200/wk,...

  14. provocative undergarments

    nekhismom replied to kathys's topic in General Nursing

    In school, we had a policy that stated specifically that we had to wear white underwear. No thongs, g strings, or anything that did not cover the entire area. It was very clearly and nicely worded....

  15. Hippa violation?

    nekhismom replied to BernieO's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Something needs to be done. She has no RIGHT to discuss people's private

  16. Liability insurance

    nekhismom replied to KarenAR's topic in General Nursing

    try NSO. THey have really cheap rates for new grads, and the rates for after the 1st year post graduation aren't bad,

  17. child care problems

    nekhismom replied to marshalbc77's topic in General Nursing

    i guess i'm luckier than i thought. my childcare provider is a licensed caregiver who works out of her home. she provides breakfast and lunch and 1-2 snacks each day, included with the fee. now, my...

  18. I could use some prayers

    nekhismom replied to JacelRN's topic in General Nursing

    OH, Jacel, you have really had a rough go lately! ((((((((JacelRN)))))))))))). I will send up my prayers for your dad and

  19. 8 hour or 12 hour shifts?

    nekhismom replied to VanessaJ's topic in General Nursing

    I just did my first 12, and it sucked. i LOVE working 10 hr shifts, but that doesn't seem to be an option in nursing. I think i might like 12s better after I get used to them, but for now, I vote...

  23. Critical thinking exercise

    nekhismom replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    Well, according to NCLEX priorities, you would assess ABC's. So, is the airway patent? Is this person breathing? Cyanotic?? Conscious?? I agree, check the probe and the tubing. Didn't think of...

  24. Signing Bonuses!!$$

    nekhismom replied to domenica's topic in Texas Nursing

    I haven't personally came across a $50,000 sign on either, but I have heard of it. Anyone else know of any? I thought $10,000 was a large sum. I guess I was mistaken. But, I would DEFINATELY worry...
