  1. Am I crazy to take a hospice job?

    Anubis replied to rnjello's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hey Kate: I've also been having this same thought process. When I got out of nursing school, I had to take the first job I could find, which was analyzing clinical data for QC. I got a kick out of...

  2. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    Anubis replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    My thoughts too...if they're that narrow-minded, I probably wouldn't enjoy being around them

  3. I just can't do this anymore...

    Anubis replied to ruthiemk's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, your husband should be more supportive of what makes YOU happy. As far as the job goes, get somewhere that you are happy and you enjoy. Many years ago, a pharmacist I knew told me "we spend...

  4. what shoes do you wear...

    Anubis replied to blee1's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've actually been having great luck with the New Balance MW575WT all white walking shoes. They're comfortable, easy to clean, and didn't cost a fortune. I have high arches, so I'm very particular...

  5. Best Lotion for cracked hands?

    Anubis replied to austin9104's topic in General Nursing

    My fingers and thumbs were getting in horrible shape because of constant hand washing and gloving. I finally started to carry a small tube of Eucerin w/me and would re-lotion as often as I could...

  6. Shift Change!

    Anubis replied to sonomala's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I've only been on the job as a CNA for a little over a month, and work 2nd shift (2-10). It's okay, get the residents after they've had lunch, before dinner, and then afterward just have to put them...

  7. Announce that you passed your CNA exam here!

    Anubis replied to jb2u's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I passed my CNA exam on 1/4/2009. I had passed the written test on the first try back in December, but the evaluator started talking to me during the practicals and asked me to perform one of them...

  8. National American University???

    Anubis replied to LadyBug0387's topic in General Nursing

    I can't speak for the other campuses, but at the Denver campus, we have some very competent instructors. The director of our nursing program is one of the advisors to the council that writes the NCLEX...

  9. about being harassed as a male

    Anubis replied to Darklighter's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Don't give in, just walk away. This kind of "fake" crying is almost always a ploy, because she knows she screwed up and she's hoping that by crying, you'll feel sorry for her, not report her and...

  10. what's a good stethoscope for nursing school?

    Anubis replied to jnmoore02's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For those of us who are not familiar with advanced sound technology, I take it this is a good thing?

  11. National American University???

    Anubis replied to LadyBug0387's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I won't be eligible until probably next June, as I am taking A&P I this qtr, A&P II + Algebra 2nd qtr, Micro and Nutrition 3rd qtr (they took Eng Comp as a transfer, so I'm taking...

  12. Where are the Accredited Programs?

    Anubis replied to dmwbcc's topic in Colorado Nursing

    When I enrolled at NAU, I was told by my counselor that the NLNAC was tentatively coming in this fall to evaluate them for accreditation, and they felt optimistic that they were going to get it....

  13. National American University???

    Anubis replied to LadyBug0387's topic in General Nursing

    Hey there, Kenaldo and MomOf6WannaBeRN....I'm enrolled at the NAU Denver campus too! Are either of you interested in getting a study group together (assuming we're taking the same course)? I'm...

  14. A&P 1 Spring 08

    Anubis replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't waste your money on a tape recorder, get a digital voice recorder. Microcassettes have to be flipped over, which can disrupt the class, and you can only record a short amount at a time before...

  15. Teas test question

    Anubis replied to lck8119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    By the way, many thanks for the website info, I'll use that too. I absolutely need every advantage so I can make sure I get into clinicals without having to wait. Much appreciated from all of us...

  16. Teas test question

    Anubis replied to lck8119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the info, but I already gone out and found a copy online. I tried to bid for one on ebay, but someone else outbid me in the last 20 seconds. So I went out searching elsewhere and found...

  17. Textbook Site Suggestion

    Anubis posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am trying to read ahead of some of my classes to be better prepared, so I've been scouring a few sites to compare various prices on reference books. For example, I've already found a study guide...

  18. what's a good stethoscope for nursing school?

    Anubis replied to jnmoore02's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I just ordered a Littmann Lightweight II S.E. from Steeles.com. They are on sale for $38.99. It's on the low-end of the Littmann series, but it's still a Littmann, so of course it's still of high...

  19. Gay Nurses... help!

    Anubis replied to quakerkid's topic in Male Nursing Students

    My 2 cents....I am just starting out in nursing after spending 15 years in I.T. I never felt it necessary to discuss my personal life in the office, as it has no place there, period. I have never...

  20. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    Anubis replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I totally agree...and I don't think we need a separate name for male nurses either. We all have to take the same NCLEX exam and the qualifications are the same whether you're gay, straight, male,...

  21. Teas test question

    Anubis replied to lck8119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have yet to find anything to deal with nursing education that there isn't some kind of fee for! :chuckle But I know it'll be worth

  22. Teas test question

    Anubis replied to lck8119's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WHOA...you mean there's actually a study manual for this? I didn't realize...I had heard about a "TEAS" test, but thought it was just something my school cooked up to charge me more money. I'll be...

  23. Age Factor

    Anubis replied to rpc19's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Yes, bologna and a whole host of other things! I'm just starting school at age 42, and hearing all these positive stories about folks in their 40's, 50's, and up, just starting out really makes me...

  24. Student blatently sexually harrassed me...

    Anubis replied to Thedreamer's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Doesn't matter...sexual harassment doesn't only come from people who have power/authority over you, it can come from co-workers of equal stature. Go to your supervisor, or up the chain to someone who...

  25. about being harassed as a male

    Anubis replied to Darklighter's topic in Male Nursing Students

    The first time it happens, make it clear that her behavior was inappropriate for the workplace, her advances were unwelcome and ask her not to repeat them. Make note of the time/date it happens,...
