    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    ...and I guess I have more integrity....I'll stick with

  2. Tips on where to get a GOOD Student Nursing Kit

    BabyLady replied to survrgrl08's topic in General Students

    Allheart has the best prices I have found so far on stethescopes...hands down. But I never purchased the "kits"...I purchased the products one at a time that worked for

  3. Alternates ..why not just give them a number??

    BabyLady replied to Cathylady's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Because they know that alternates usually talk with each other and it allows them to make any exception they want without being held

  4. what is your overnight policy for family members in a double room?

    BabyLady replied to beeble's topic in General Nursing

    I would tell her that out of respect for the other patient, who needs to rest, that she needs to go. I understand her wanting to be with her husband, but I can also imagine how hard it must be when...

  5. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Which is exactly why BON's publish the statistics that are public information on all nursing schools. The information should be transparent but a novice student that isn't savy on educational...

  6. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Well, if you totally support the statistics being artificially skewed with the BON's so that students cannot make educated decisions on the quality of nursing programs, then so be it. I personally...

  7. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    ....and how would you know if they were lying? You wouldn't. Schools and Universities that are public or private and take public funding should be completely transparent in all of their

  8. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    No, not wrong...not as long as the BON's keep track of percentage rates for nursing programs...there is a reason why they keep track of them and will shut a program DOWN that doesn't perform. It's...

  9. Resignation Letter Review

    BabyLady replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    Very much agree with

  10. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I don't think you are understanding what the HESI is doing with regards to the BON's. When students are trying to choose between schools, the pass rate for that school that is listed with the BON is a...

  11. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    If you get a student that gets a high GPA in school and cannot pass the HESI, then the nursing program has not adequately prepared that student to take a standardized test, which is the entire purpose...

  12. My husband is in a Calif Prison! I have an interview ~HELP~

    BabyLady replied to nightnurseLVN2300's topic in Correctional

    I would let the application guide your decisions...if the application doesn't ask you to disclose it, then I wouldn't unless, of course, you find out your husband is being transferred to your...

  13. An RN friend being set up at her job, are even threatening her license; need advice

    BabyLady replied to mondkmondk's topic in General Nursing

    I think they are blowing smoke up her butt. She passed the drug test...that is physicial proof she wasn't impaired. They don't have a leg to stand on and I would be very, very vocal if I was her that...

  14. Tubal Ligation Failure

    BabyLady replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    I can imagine the shock..somewhere I read (and those that are more knowledgeable, please correct me if I am wrong)...that there are two ways of performing a tubal...you can "tie" them off or clip and...

  15. Should nurses with long hair be required to wear it up?

    BabyLady replied to dura_mater's topic in General Nursing

    I don't feel that facilities should require it because as for myself..my hair is long and I put the sides up with a clip but refuse to put all of my hair up because I have a medical condition that...

  16. Resignation Letter Review

    BabyLady replied to nlhnurse1982's topic in General Nursing

    i would nix the part of taking another position and put a generic "to explore other professional opportunities" instead. i also agree with not giving a two month notice, but a month instead because...

  17. My husband is in a Calif Prison! I have an interview ~HELP~

    BabyLady replied to nightnurseLVN2300's topic in Correctional

    I'm surprised that no one is taking into consideration that it's a violation to ask her marital status at the interview. I would believe that it would be a violation for her not to disclose IF her...

  18. How Can You Tell if a Pt. Is Addicted???

    BabyLady replied to Pretty in Ink's topic in Addictions

    Be careful of reading too much into "looks" and the nurse that discussed a patient's medication in front of the patient's sister without first getting permission from the patient committed a HIPAA...

  19. Please help I cant hear vitals

    BabyLady replied to sdcb42506's topic in General Students

    Yes, first, you need a good quality stethescope because some people can be difficult to hear. Second, I find that if a patient's arm is outstretched, finding the artery is easier. Third, find the...

  20. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    The problem is, the people making the claim that HESI is a good predictor is the people that are SELLING the program to the schools. Odd how you can't find independent research to see if there is a...

  21. States Who Have Banned HESI

    BabyLady replied to Decemberblues's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Heck no. HESI is being used by schools to prevent students from graduating that can't pass it...therefore, they can't sit for the NCLEX if they don't have a degree in their hands. The schools say that...

  22. Background questions

    BabyLady replied to HumorHeals22's topic in General Students

    It depends....in my state, questions about previously being treated for any mental health condition was not on my application when I applied to take the NCLEX, but I have heard that some BON's do ask...

  23. Immunization question

    BabyLady replied to HopefulPete's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Each program/state has their own requirements. The school will inform you of the process and what is needed because there will be forms that will need to be completed by your physician. You need to...

  24. Nursing Student makes a very stupid decision and recieved a DUI...advice...?

    BabyLady replied to lotus1's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I disagree with this. We still live in a country until you are innocent until proven guilty and it didn't appear to me, from her post, that she has been convicted of anything...yet...only charged. The...

  25. Is stadol contraindicated in drug abuse patient?
