Just wondering how many times Hospice nurses end up putting in catheters and IVs or do your patients usually already have caths in and if IVs are usually removed prior to being admitted to hospice. I'm referring to home hospice as opposed to a facil...

Thanks so much for all of the info!!

How do you like Baker's program? I live outside of Cadillac and have been begging them to bring the nursing program. I already have a two year degree in medical transcription from them, but am looking for a change. So far I have been told MAYBE 20...

Thank you. When you refer to central line, is that a subclavian? (Can you tell I'm not a student yet??):selfbonk: Thanks again!

"And I can honestly say in the number of times I have done this or seen it done not once did the patient complain. You're a cold person. What a cruel, hurtful thing to say. :angryfire :angryfire :angryfire

I am 37 years young and I, too, have always felt a calling to be a nurse, but I was terrified of math and needles! After 10+ years as a medical transcriptionist, I have made up my mind that the minute our local college brings their RN program up to ...

My brother's senior prom date: Candy Dessert (he still has some art work that he bought at his high school fair well over 25 years ago that she painted). My husband has two cousins that are brothers: Huck and Tom Sawyer (I swear to goodness!). My...

Last year, I made the decision to return to school for nursing. I had never talked with a nurse or read much about nursing. I have always admired nurses and have a deep love for science, yet was always a bit squemish so I went into medical records....

I received my associate's in science in medical transcription back in 1996 from Baker. The teacher's were very well qualified and I had to take A&P I&II, pathophysiology, pharmacology, disease processes, etc. I was trained very well as now ...

Just wanting to hear from anyone who attended/graduated from any of these schools. I am scheduled to start Northwestern in Traverse City in 2005, but am hoping Baker of Cadillac brings the nursing program up since I graduated from there with an asso...

My son weighed 11 pounds 1 ounce and both of our sugars were fine! I pushed for 4 hours and finally had to have a c-section. I can't imagine how uncomfortable that mama was...my doc said I deserved a superwoman award because my son's head was so fa...

:roll :roll :roll

I work in Med. Records and my boss just showed us what we could be fined with if we break pt confidentiality.... $10,000 fine and up to 5 years. Now, would that really happen? I don't know and I don't want to find out! I take the contract I signed...

A nursing friend of mine just informed me that there is talk of training nurses in India and then offering them free housing to come work in the U.S. Is this true :angryfire :uhoh21: ? I was going to start nursing school next year, but may rethink...

I,too, enjoyed South By Southwest. Austin is definately a party town. Sixth street is the best place to go if you love music. You can catch some country, rock, jazz, alternative, blues...all on the same street in ONE night. Lived there about 15 y...

I guess I'm in the right field also because the only post that made me slightly gag was about swallowing the patient's loogie. Other than that, I have been laughing so hard I almost wet my pants!!!!!

Thanks so much for all of the info. I just became a little nervous when thinking of taking out another student loan after getting my last one paid off and discovering that I would not be able to find a job! Thanks again!

Haven't started the nursing classes yet, but I have a hubby and a 5-year-old son and work from home as a medical transcriptionist (part-time). I'm just thankful it is a two year degree! I can make it through two years...I can make it through two ye...

It helped my husband who has a pretty good sized anxiety disorder. It also helped when he left his current position and went into a different field. He is on a very low dose (6.5 mg. q.d.). That dose just keeps it at bay. He wants to wean off, bu...

I was induced for a week before my son was born (checked into the hospital every morning at 9 am and left every night around 10 with empty arms and huge belly). US said he was around 8 to 9 pds. Finally got me going, labored all night, pushed for t...

Thanks for all of the info. I figured with the shortage how could anyone be phased out!
