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 i...

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 conv...

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 respon...

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 threate...

I'm just so glad to see that the rule against giving legal advice has apparently been removed.

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

In my state the rule is that a facility can hire you without certification but you must get certified within 4 months.

A huge YES from me. On a related note. Does anyone know if it is true that slowly bleeding to death is painless? I've heard that the victim just falls asleep and doesn't wake up. If that is true I think it would be the way I would want to go.

I'm just wondering how concerned I should be about a 20 year old DUI on my background report. I've already asked my school advisor and the H.R. department of one of the clinical sites and they both told me it shouldn't be a problem at all. My only ...

I feel a LOT better now. Thank you both SO MUCH.

Get your books for the next quarter now. Don't bother trying to memorize things now, just read them and do questions at the end of chapters. Make notes of important terms and topics. If something doesn't make sense don't dwell on it. Make note of ...

Plan B is emergency contraception. It is Not an abortion pill. It cannot terminate a pregnancy. When you start seeing ads for plans J, K, L, or M, that's when the pro-lifers should worry.

When I was in the army we wore flea collars just above our boots to repel chiggers. It worked against chiggers, and being that they are called "flea collars" it might work on fleas too. Human fleas are supposedly different from dog fleas though.

I want the green burial. No viewing. No marker. And I don't even care if someone builds a house on top of me later. Oh, I damn sure don't want one of those police escorted 10 mph parades through the county, what's up with that?

4.0 for 14 cr. hrs. Not having a job is a huge advantage!
