  1. Future grad w/questions about job interview process...r/o please

    Speculating replied to jetta1's topic in General Nursing

    PTO's and vacation time? How do they select who works holidays? 401(k) or 403(b) retirement plan? Do they match contributions, how much do they match and up to how much a year? What financial...

  2. Any thoughts and words of wisdom greatly appreciated.

    Speculating replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Emily dear, Are you such an impulsive person that you didn't think this through before you went to school to become, "I'm guessing here an LPN"? It's kinda late in the game to be to be trying to...

  3. New Grads in the ED (?)

    Speculating replied to Evelyn2003's topic in Emergency

    Your absolutely correct athomas91, every area of nursing has its difficulties. It's hard to take any nurse out of their specialty and put them into a new one without them having some degree of...

  5. Going back after maternity leave advice

    Speculating replied to teresab_2000's topic in General Nursing

    You'll do fine Teresa. You haven't forgotten everything; in fact, you haven't forgotten anything. It will magically appear when you need it. You have to pull your confidence together though even if...

  6. Men in the OB

    Speculating replied to Brob's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd have to disagree with you on this one. I think that would be the easiest of all times to take care of this type of pt. You couldn't be anything short of business when your pt. has another...

  7. New Grads in the ED (?)

    Speculating replied to Evelyn2003's topic in Emergency

    Evelyn2003, You did it again! You flushed the toilet on yourself. You're circling the drain. How dare you imply that ER nurses give anything less than the best possible care they possible can for each...

  8. Nurses pay

    Speculating replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

    That's the second or third time I've heard this, and I just cringe every time I hear it, "Only two to three dollars more an hour". No disrespect sierranic, but if your not in college you need to go...

  9. New Grads in the ED (?)

    Speculating replied to Evelyn2003's topic in Emergency

    I started out fresh out of college directly into a Level II Trauma Center ER with three helicopters parked on the roof, but I had a huge amount of experience and felt comfortable doing so. I have to...

  10. Nurses pay

    Speculating replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

    sierranic, Are you speaking of RN or GN? That's a big enough reason to move to another

  11. Nurses pay

    Speculating replied to ChristineG's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Steph, I mean no disrespect what so ever to you. From coming across your other posts from time to time, I highly respect what I know of you. I'm a single male - I shouldn't have to help pay for...

  12. Men in the OB

    Speculating replied to Brob's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Women tend to be more self-conscious about their bodies sometimes they don't like to be nude in front of other women. Your male patients on the other hand - "You want to see what? No! You don't have...

  13. Men in the OB

    Speculating replied to Brob's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Your absolutely correct, but male student is even worse. I think if the students were alowed to were scrubs instead of those goofy smocks with a two foot patch that says STUDENT. They would be able to...

  14. Male nures Make their markin the military

    Speculating replied to Meco's topic in Government, Military

    Everyone seems to forget men were nurses long before women. We just were'nt called nurses. Female nurses were not even allowed near the battle fields until The Crimean War around 1854. It was St....

  15. Men in the OB

    Speculating replied to Brob's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't mean to scare you off Brob, but it was the most uncomfortable time during my entire clinical rotation. I didn't say bad - uncomfortable. Being a guy myself, I didn't know what to do. Should I...

  16. Back pain with tissue expander

    Speculating replied to JustMe's topic in General Nursing

    First I just want to say I'm for all you're going through Cheri. I don't believe metastasis is the problem at this juncture. With all that tissue that you've had removed lymph nodes...your left with...

  18. I'm beginning to think I'm "IV challaged"....eek

    Speculating replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to have to agree with everyone else. There are days I can't hit the broad side of a barn. All nurses have this problem from time to time. Then there are the days I just can't seem to miss...

  19. Human Anatomy charts

    Speculating replied to Medic2005's topic in General Nursing

    I guess it's never to early to get going, but you need to be consuming yourself with getting into college, RN, LPN, CNA, or your EMT & EMT-P. Sign-up for the classes first. Then start studying for...

  20. Crisis Pregnancy.... Rape Situation

    Speculating replied to sandstormsdust's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I completely agree with the other posts other than the statement: Counseling in large doses is the key because you don't heel when you give a piece of yourself away. You can only learn to cope...

  21. what do you recommend?

    Speculating replied to NursePru's topic in General Nursing

    You might want to check with the nursing program about your CNA. My old nursing college now makes your CNA a prerequisite to nursing

    Speculating replied to Melody007_FNP-C's topic in General Nursing

    Melody if you worked as hard as everyone I know did to get their LPN and something as trival as this is making you second guess your career, then your right your in the wrong career. I'm guessing like...

  24. L.P.N. School ???

    Speculating replied to Medic2005's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't believe there are any prerequisites for to your LPN. Didn't I hear you on another post discussing eventually getting your RN? If that's the case, then I suggest you quite dilly dallying...

    Speculating replied to Keysnurse2008's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    AmyB your allowed to do that on only one condition that you blackout anything that identifies the pt. before it leaves the premises. Otherwise, It's not just a HIPAA violation, but those nursing...
