Got it a week ago (Pfizer #3). No previous Covid infection. The reaction was pretty much like shot #2. Fever, aches, headache x 24 hrs and then I was fine.

Do we want nursing to be less female-centric? It doesn’t feel like it. Few men teaching in nursing schools. Despite the experience of nurses above, there is a certain amount of discrimination in OB sections in school, interestingly, as someone poin...

It’s interesting that you pose the question this way in the same month the Washington Post provides this headline: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/health/the-big-number-women-now-outnumber-men-in-medical-schools/2019/12/20/8b9edde...

I give this recommendation to most of the people who ask... I work for a hospital based program that uses Air Methods as our vendor (they provide helicopter, pilot, and mechanic) our Hospital provides the medical crew. Look around your area...

Darn skippy! Keeping up with flight certifications, especially if you work strattling state lines, can feel like a full time job in itself.

Darn skippy!

Even if the ads say ED or ICU, unless the service you are looking at has mostly scene work, go ICU. After 20 years as a paramedic and 8 years as an ED nurse, it was a steep learning curve to proficiency in a mostly inter facility (as most are) servic...

Love it! I didn't start nursing school till I was over 40 (darn near dead according to the OP) at 50 and change I work the ED and now flight nursing. I worked (and work) more than the younger Nurses and, in most cases, run circles around them. Maybe ...

Yup, I didn't, knowingly, take a vow of poverty. This is a business proposition. I provide you with a service and you pay me a acceptable wage. If either of us fail that contract, we are free to move on, no excommunication needed.

If you are looking for $100k anywhere but CA you want to give some thought to APRN. CRNAs starts way above this level and NPs are close w/o OT. Other than that, go to a metro area union hospital. Cost of living will be higher though. I have made >...

Excelsior College doesn't have a chemistry requirement but does have a prerequisite or co-requirement for statistics during the research class. Hope that's helpful!

OMG! Despite the unfortunate actions of a single nurse, this system is draconian! If NJ, et al would participate in the compact this system would be far more streamlined. They were just fine taking my money...immediately deposited! To tell me that th...

I can't say that I'm happy that everyone has the same problem with the New Jersey Board of nursing! They've had my information for about a month now, after calling yesterday, they said oh, your fingerprint cards are in the mail. They are very good at...

If you know where you'd like to practice and can work, even per diem, you may be able to transition from critical care paramedic to RN at the same company. I was a paramedic for 10 years before going to Nursing school and am a PHRN for the same comp...

You do not need to be a NJ resident. TESC is one of the nations largest nursing programs and have students from all over. There are no clinicals required which was of my main main reasons for going there.

"Le-a" Mom was unhappy with me when I referred to her child as Lea...she retorted..."her name is Le DASH a". You can't make this stuff up...no chance that kid will have trouble with other kids in school...I can't imagine having to correct the pronu...

1. what is the most important problem or problems facing medicine as a profession today? lack of access to primary care (the emergency room is not your pcp) 2. what do you think is the cause of the problem? lack of $$ for family medicine, fewer md...

33762FL which class are you taking? This is my first class as well, I chose Informatics as my inaugrial jump into the BSN program at TESC, what did you go with? jb

tesc doesn't give anything for your license but rather from your nursing education (semantics, i know). the lower division nursing credits are from your nursing school along with any general education work completed. hope that helps. jb i too am in ...

Not my experience at all. Rather than demoting, we are encouraging promotion to Level IV with a 7.5% raise rather than the 5 % for other levels. Now we are striving for Magnet status and level IV includes BSN and national specialty certification. ...

Best to call (610) 741-0100 and speak to the nursing program recruiter. Their guidelines state that "Test scores are valid for two years, with the highest score used in the admission decision process." But it doesn't speak to whether a test taken el...

Ever notice the amount of pts. that are "allergic" to aspirin, yet take it everyday? "Oh, I am allergic to the 324 mg asa!" Really, what is your allergy? Allergic = stomach upset?

I concur with the take it now contingent. No one knows what the future iteration will be and it will take a little time to tweek the prep classes. I looked at the notes from a review class for a couple of weeks and passed with a great score on the ...
