  1. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

    Equinox_93 posted a topic in General Students

    Just curious :) Trying to create a pre-nyrsing school schedule to get the family used to the flow so that when I get there, the learning curve will be a bit easier having the family already on the...

  2. evening weekend LPN or RN program- no prereq's?

    Equinox_93 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Anyone know of any evening/weekend programs that are insular nursing programs without being part of a university that requires all the prereqs and side classes? I LOVE Central's program layout- but...

  3. LPN- RN or straight to RN? (Cleveland market)

    Equinox_93 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    I am getting STNA certified and then going back to school for nursing. My question is- for those who know the Ohio job climate- would it make much difference (as far as job availability etc.) as to...

  4. Irregular heartbeat- curiosity

    Equinox_93 posted a topic in Cardiac

    I'm curious- an irregular rhythm that regulates with deep breathing- is this common for irregularities? Why/why not? What could this be? (This isn't asked to diagnose- not looking at a patient or self...

  5. Mansfield- Med Central?

    Equinox_93 posted a topic in Ohio Nursing

    Anyone know anything about this place?

    During your time in Africa did you have small children waiting at home for

  7. Irregular heartbeat- curiosity

    Equinox_93 replied to Equinox_93's topic in Cardiac

    Maybe- does sinus arrhythmia occur only during deep respiration? If normal respiration doesn't change a rhythm, but deep respiration regulates it- is that within the definition of a sinus arrhythmia?...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    Equinox_93 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    ... Would you have your daughters labia removed? Some find that smaller or almost nonexistant labia "look

  9. The Circumcision Discussion

    Equinox_93 replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Sorry, but if I carry someone around in my womb for 9 months and then push or have them cut out of my body and am responsible for raising them for 18 years, you better damnwell believe that I'm going...

  10. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    .... If I left my kids during a crisis, it would also be called abandoning- and I'd lose my kids.... I'll take losing my license over losing my

  11. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    ... Well... In the event of a major pandemic where everyone around is dying or a terrorist threat where everyone is afraid another bomb is going to kill everyone- "me time" kinda goes out the window...

  12. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just another thought... In a widespread disaster scenario- NO ONE can be relied upon to be there in an emergency because no one knows who will be affected by the disaster/emergency. If a bomb goes off...

  13. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I guess the bottom line is that there are alot of people who hold both perspectives and neither is going to change the others mind. This doesn't make anyone "less of a (insert healthcare professional...

  14. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Sorry, but I think you're off base. I know quite a few long standing nurses in a variety of areas of nursing and most are in agreement with the idea that family comes first. As it stands, 30% say they...

  15. To those of you who have child care

    Equinox_93 replied to Dorali's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    TraumaRUs- That's got to be great having family so close by. I grew up in a mining town and DH is a computer geek, so we had to move where the jobs were. *sigh* Dondie- One thing that you could try...

  16. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    i appreciate the positions of those who are concerned about what will happen to your loved ones if you work. on the other hand, who do you think will be looking after you or your family if pandemc...

  17. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    IMO there are ways that those trained in healthcare professions can help out HUGELY but independantly- not clocking hours at their place of employment. Just because I am not in support of mandatory...

  18. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    No- you are reading me wrong there. I am saying that if the options are between being forced to do something versus being given incentive to do something- it's more effective to give

  19. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I entered my profession to help others. Not necessarily to serve them. There is, IMO, a large difference. Florence Nightingale did not have children she was responsible for while she was doing her...

  20. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yes- I'm just against forcing people to do things in these contexts on general principle. I tend to find that morale is higher and the job gets done much better/more efficiently/effectively when...

  21. Can nurses be forced to work during pandemic

    Equinox_93 replied to nursey04's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Hey- if "they" want to pay the astronomical costs for in-home childcare plus my salary in that situation? Sure- I'll probably do it. Otherwise- they can have my license because yes- my children are my...

    Equinox_93 replied to NM nurse to be's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    :) Good ta know! I'll have to try that. Sorry the other night was so..... ya know, there's not even a word for that ROFL! Wow. You've definately earned the Poop Patrol

    Equinox_93 replied to NM nurse to be's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How do you keep the soapy washcloths warm? I know alot of residents get very upset if their soapies are cold- and I certainly can't blame them!

  24. Would you get the vaccine?

    Equinox_93 replied to Aneroo's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Yeah- regardless of the point that "you can't catch the flu from the vaccine" I ALWAYS have gotten a flu after I get a vaccine, but NEVER get one (so far) when I don't. Odd coincidence- and not saying...

  25. Not letting my kid go to school

    Equinox_93 replied to RedhairedNurse's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think you're grossly overreacting. From reports, Mexico has seen a hundred or so deaths, the US- one. Singular. Death. I think that if this thing mutates and we start seeing more deaths? OK- sure....
