  1. On flight to Europe... "we need a nurse"!

    PMHNP10 replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a TX nurse, and you decided not to help a dying person, although it would possibly be an ethical concern, it wouldn't cost you your license. If you are concerned, contact your BON....

  2. Is the GRE as hard as it looks?

    PMHNP10 replied to mommy2BCD's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    When I took the GRE I used the Kaplan book and it was useless for the math section--I think the math format has changed since, so it might be a decent book. If I missed 3 practice questions from the...

  3. What do you guys during your off-time?

    PMHNP10 replied to mcknis's topic in Men in Nursing

    Other than obviously playing on the internet (although I'm at work right now) I play my Xbox or Xbox 360, stare at walls, beat my cat, and eat myself into obesity. I would say I work out in my free...

  4. Am I crazy? Need advice

    PMHNP10 replied to robynv's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At 35, you are absolutely not too old to become a nurse--not even close. I graduated with a 55 y/o. In fact, it is my opinion that the older you are, the better student you are...more mature,...

  5. On flight to Europe... "we need a nurse"!

    PMHNP10 replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    I'm speaking from a TX law POV...you could be wearing your scrubs with badge stating your name, place of occupation, years experience, SSN, etc. and if you are a CVICU nurse and the person drops from...

  6. McLennan Community College TX

    PMHNP10 replied to armywifern2b's topic in General Students

    you will have one instructor (1523) teach you about the nursing basics--some history, nurse pioneers, theories, etc.; one will teach you pharmacology (pharm). Another way to think about it is that...

  7. McLennan Community College TX

    PMHNP10 replied to armywifern2b's topic in General Students

    The only one I'm familiar with is Cynthia McAdams. Unfortunately there are 2 instructors I don't have much positive to say about and she is one of them. She taught pharm...there was a guy who...

  8. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    PMHNP10 replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree. If I understand the OP, she identified herself as a RN (professional) hence should conduct herself accordingly. HOWEVER....the OP was miserably ill, and most assuredly human,...

  9. Waco

    PMHNP10 replied to RainDreamer's topic in Texas Nursing

    If I were still in Waco, I'm pretty certain I would have had a major coronary event by now. When La Fiesta opened that 2nd restaurant on 19th St. they had an all you can eat buffet lunch for like...

  10. McLennan Community College TX

    PMHNP10 replied to armywifern2b's topic in General Students

    y'all get to buy your own scrubs for clinical? Lucky you (all). We had these drab sky blueish gray things and had to buy white pants, but only a certain kind because some white pants are

  11. How important is the ability to communicate via writing?

    PMHNP10 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember the slogan of the HS I spent a semester of Hell standing in front a full classroom, writing a bunch of numbers on a chalkboard. When you walked in the building there was a big banner that...

  12. McLennan Community College TX

    PMHNP10 replied to armywifern2b's topic in General Students

    Dr. Reyna was cool, but after the 1st semester, I didn't see her very much. And she wasn't my clinical instructor. BTW...good luck to you. It's a challenging program. They definitely will challenge...

  13. McLennan Community College TX

    PMHNP10 replied to armywifern2b's topic in General Students

    That's where I got my ADN in 2002--day program. I don't really know the evening program profs. I'm curious if the instructors are still

  14. Likely healthcare reform next year and how it will impact health care professionals

    PMHNP10 replied to ssambakd's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    And I suspect that the ticket would be Hillary and Barack (or vice versa) and I truly don't think this country is evolved enough to elect a female and black male to lead this country. Who

  15. Waco

    PMHNP10 replied to RainDreamer's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know this is a bit old, but figured I'd add my bits o' insight. I really really liked Waco. I like that waiting 5-10 minutes in traffic (which rarely happens) is considered a traffic jam. I loved...

  16. How important is the ability to communicate via writing?

    PMHNP10 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Having just completed a RN-BSN program I just had the experience of working in a group setting with a Chinese female, an African female, and an African male (as well as a few other American students)....

  17. How important is the ability to communicate via writing?

    PMHNP10 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    On the one hand, it means your ability to keep your license, and not have to pay in a lawsuit (due to the ability to chart coherently); on the other hand, your instructor is 10000%

  18. Postpartum Depression Screening

    PMHNP10 replied to niccilam's topic in Ob/Gyn

  19. The Doctor said WHAT?

    PMHNP10 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    nurz2be... were there any consequences for your actions from your clinical instructor? it's a fine line...although cathartic, responding to idiocy is as productive as slamming on your gas pedal in a...

  20. Postpartum Depression Screening

    PMHNP10 replied to niccilam's topic in Ob/Gyn

    check out Cheryl Beck's Postpartum Depression Screening Scale; I'm not a L&D nurse, so I can't tell you anything from experience, but the research I've done on it indicates it's a more reliable...

  21. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    PMHNP10 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    the mantra of bachelor's in psych grads all across the land. pursuit of a psych. degree is a fun and very fascinating major but unless you plan on pursuing a phd, it's more or less worth the piece...

  22. I was a ______ prior to being a nurse/student nurse

    PMHNP10 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Nursing

    Me too. And before that I bartended (which is one of my favorite jobs even though I don't drink at all). And before that I was a long term sub math teacher at a city HS in TX...worst job (even over...

  23. Why is it...

    PMHNP10 replied to tvccrn's topic in General Nursing

    I mean no offense, but I found a bit of irony within this thread, plus I wanted to play with the multiple quote feature...it's

  24. As an RN, do your other passions have to be limited?

    PMHNP10 replied to LaborandDelivery's topic in General Nursing

    funny, because when I think of passions I think of hobbies (e.g., collecting things, playing sports, etc.) or expressing/appreciating artistic talents (e.g., singing, dancing, painting, sculpting) but...

  25. Travel Nurse

    PMHNP10 replied to at2726's topic in General Nursing

    I'd recommend posting this in the travel section of this board as well as doing a search there. Also, check out this site http://www.travelnursingcentral.com/ Obviously all info is subjective, but if...
