There is no public option in the bill that was just signed. What are you talking about?

I use an LED and when I check pupil response I just don't shine it straight into the eye. I use the edge of the beam or hold the light at an angle so it doesn't focus on the patients fovea centralis. If it does leave a bright spot on their retina it will be in their peripheral field where it won't bother them much.

allnurses.com nurses helping nurses by telling nurses to help themselves.

Then why is it OK to use google but not allnurses.com as a resource?

If you're so busy, why did you take the time to write this hurtful reply? The OP isn't demanding your attention.

Actually there are three institutions you need to worry about: Your school, the clinical sites, and the state BON.

It means the health care system is about to gain 30 million new customers. If there wasn't a nurse shortage before, there certainly is now.

The tummy ache is largely due to working so hard for FREE. It should go away after you get licensed.

When I get confused I like to watch TV or take a nap. I damn sure don't want to fold towels. I may be confused but I know when I'm being taken advantage of. Honestly, though, I think the best activity for confused patients is to engage them in a conversation. Even a conversation with another confused patient can work wonders for both.

I don't understand why you didn't retake A&P after you got turned down the first time. The competition isn't going to just step aside for you because you're older.

The Hoyer lift, because when I use it I imagine I'm at home, in my shop, hoisting a fresh engine into my project car.

I think the most objective way to choose the right school is to look at the nclex pass % over the past few years. You can see this info on your state BON website. I realize that has nothing to do with how easy the classes are but if you take responsibility for your own learning you can get a lot out of an easy class.

Well PeachPie, maybe your problem is that you're just such a smokin hottie that this male nurse can't think of anything else while you're around.

In your second sentence you state that most male nurses are great coworkers. So it's only the male nurses who think they're Mr. Popular that make you sick. Are you maybe that female nurse that thought you were Ms. Popular and you're feeling threatened by a new nurse with different attachments? Try not to focus so much on the popularity contest and focus more on the patients.

Maybe those TVs were donated. Maybe your facility could put an ad in the paper asking for someone to donate a washing machine.
