  1. Got into nursing school,but can't afford to go

    PMHNP10 replied to Bolus of Courage's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    don't sweat it; forget everything I've said up to this point; we are 2 different people with 2 different sets of circumstances; I had $20K+ debt from my first degree then a few years later returned...

  2. Houston hospitals

    PMHNP10 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Just searching for opinions on working conditions at Methodist v. Memorial Hermann. If possible, limit it to the Sugar Land hospitals. If not, I'll happily hear opinions on any of the Houston...

  3. Got into nursing school,but can't afford to go

    PMHNP10 replied to Bolus of Courage's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Although you didn't say "I give up". The fact that you are accepted to a program and won't attend because you don't want more loans is in fact giving up on this opportunity. Perhaps I should have...

  4. Got into nursing school,but can't afford to go

    PMHNP10 replied to Bolus of Courage's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    loans stink, but this isn't something out of the question; what about going the ADN route? much cheaper; or how about an accel BSN program since you have the bachelors already; giving up too easily;...

  5. My bad attitude

    PMHNP10 replied to jessiern's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

  7. How to communicate

    PMHNP10 replied to mlisk589's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps your presence alone gives her the sense of companionship she seeks. Maybe you offer her a sense of security, and that's all she wants. Regardless, remember that this lady doesn't know you...

  8. RN to Paramedic bridge

    PMHNP10 replied to Icenurse's topic in International Nursing

    quite a few posts in this thread from 2002 (some won't be helpful, but I did see some that would)

  9. Associate's VS. BSN? Does it matter?

    PMHNP10 replied to BlueberryGirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    Congrats on making this wise decision, and good luck to you. When you graduate, there is initially little difference; maybe a slightly higher pay for a BSN; and depending where you live, some...

  10. any instructors or such out there

    PMHNP10 replied to momtojosh's topic in General Nursing

  13. Psych Nurse-LPN

    PMHNP10 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    clozaril is the one where you do regular CBCs because of the risk for agranulocytosis--is this what you're referring to? some other atypical antipsychotics you will see are geodon, zyprexa (and...

    If a pregnancy is about midway complete and the water breaks, is there a procedure to replace the amniotic fluid? If so, what's it

    PMHNP10 replied to TikiRN's topic in General Nursing

    colognes and perfumes can drive up a breathalyzer reading

  16. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    PMHNP10 replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    the irony of it all if you think about it...many of us sent them a form letter (I know some sent an original and some made a few changes, but probably not a majority); and now our form letter is...

  17. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    PMHNP10 replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, so either I've missed something here or y'all have the same rep. or hospital lobbyists have sent a form letter to the reps...how nice it's funny because in my letter I mentioned about the...

  18. Amphetamines+Clinicals = Allowed?

    PMHNP10 replied to miwachiru123's topic in General Nursing

    If they have an issue with a Dx of ADD, that's one thing, but I'd think they'd encourage you to stay on your meds, esp. if you respond to

  19. Tired of people commenting on my salary

    PMHNP10 replied to holdensjane's topic in General Nursing

    if you don't like the person, you could say something like... you see...I have to save up all of my money because unlike your job, my mistakes could cost someone their life, which could cost my...

  20. Job offer-why are they so cheap?

    PMHNP10 replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    Can you make a counter offer to the dr. office? You refused the first offer and he upped it by $5000 so this tells me he wanted you. If you are going to accept the position, then go ahead, but if...

  21. Job offer-why are they so cheap?

    PMHNP10 replied to johnson0424's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's very unfortunate, but the problem there is that the NP working as a floor RN will be held to the NP standard. A bad situation to be

  22. Your thoughts on denial

    PMHNP10 replied to Jules A's topic in General Nursing

    it ain't a river in Egypt and my go-to defense mechanism is rationalizing; not so fond of denial although I know I've used it in a pinch, but I agree...in general, it is what it

  23. Unite nurses, don't divide us

    PMHNP10 replied to klbackus's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I don't want to stray too far off topic, but I had to throw a couple cents in. Although where I taught, the teachers weren't unionized, I think I can give a pretty good account why our ed. system is...

  24. Safe Staffing Saves Lives - ANA has started a campaign for us

    PMHNP10 replied to BrokenRNheart's topic in General Nursing

    How to act, that is the question/ Nurses could act with their feet en masse and the hospital would strike busting nurses at a nice premium. Now the good news for nonunionized nurses is that if they...
