  1. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Did any of your babysitting gigs last 4 days? The OP should not be expected to sacrifice her education to raise her

  2. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    IANAL, but leaving 4 minors home alone for up to 4 days might be considered neglect. It should not be your job to raise your

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Now it all makes sense. Your mother doesn't want to lose her free full-time live-in nanny. All the more reason to get out while you

  5. Becoming a nurse is no longer an option for me?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    OP is 17; she'll be 18 in December. In my state, minors can't work without parental permission, and it sounds like OP's mother wouldn't allow that, either. There are many ways to foster independence;...

  11. Can't get into my RN Program because of Obamacare

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to LCNYC's topic in New York Nursing

    I'm confused about your job and insurance. Were they providing your insurance before? Did it cost less than $660? Is the $660 for COBRA? Did you get any warning before you were dropped? You're in...

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Longa's topic in General Nursing

    If you really want to become a nurse without attending nursing school, you can join the military, become a medic, and challenge the NCLEX when you get out. New York allows military medics to take the...

  15. Inmate/Staff Relationships

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Tina, RN's topic in Correctional

    Some prison employees see sex with inmates as a perk of the job. A few years ago, four female guards at the Baltimore City jail got pregnant by the same inmate, a gang leader who unofficially ran the...

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to FineAgain's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I have to wonder if that is related to Maine opting out of Medicaid

  17. Are these things still taught in nursing school?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to psu_213's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from an ASN program 7 years ago. Learned about ABGs in the classroom but never encountered them in clinical. We didn't do anything related to phlebotomy, so we couldn't take ABGs either....

  18. CNA training through LTC?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to zeezur's topic in General Nursing

    It may be the area. I live in Vermont, where demand for LNAs is high enough that nursing homes and home health agencies are offering on-the-job training. A few facilities are looking for geriatric...

  19. Stuck with dirty needle by fellow Nurse!

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to swan77's topic in General Nursing

    Report your co-worker to the BON, file a police report and talk to a lawyer. IANAL, but if she stuck you on purpose with a dirty needle it could be assault with a deadly weapon. If you have...

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to MKIVSupraRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Career services at the school I attended was worse than useless. I volunteered in an ER while I was a student, but by the time I graduated the hospital wasn't hiring its own techs as new grad RNs,...

  24. does every rn out there hate their job? sonography/x-ray tech instead?

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to Bailando's topic in General Nursing

    If might be the setting. Lots of LTC employees hate their jobs. Working in LTC made me want to burn my nursing license. I work Private Duty now. It pays less, and can be very dull, but it's much less...

    Not_A_Hat_Person replied to nurse2211's topic in General Nursing
