    netglow replied to Galaxy21's topic in General Nursing

    No can do. AN terms of service states we cannot give medical advice (if that is what you were looking for). If not, you can look to your facility/lab reference and your patient information Hx/Dx as...

    netglow replied to MODDY0505's topic in Illinois Nursing

    Dental surgery vs. Plastic surgery

    netglow replied to jan-dez's topic in General Nursing

    Since a large proportion of plastics guys really suck at it, I'd be on their websites checking out every before and after to see what kind of mess they make. Seriously? I remember hunting down one...

    What is it like becoming a male nurse?

    netglow replied to maddfaiz92's topic in Men in Nursing

    You'll be a huge let down to all those dirty old (and young men) the minute you enter their room and announce that you are their RN for the day. Male RNs have told me that this happens a lot. You...

    Dental surgery vs. Plastic surgery

    netglow replied to jan-dez's topic in General Nursing

    Forget about future planning. It's all about what you can do now. I am serious, as we live in strange times as they say. You cannot afford to look far into the future for

    Biology, chemistry, anatomy, physiology.... etc. will burn any and all college students out. You will not escape that in nursing. Actually nursing college will burn you out much faster than other...

    I really need some advice ASAP

    netglow replied to jocelynlpn's topic in General Nursing

    If there is no pathology, age is not a factor. (repeat 10 times please) But, as an employee and not a family member of this resident, she has to try to keep her anger to herself when she is with the...

    Dental surgery vs. Plastic surgery

    netglow replied to jan-dez's topic in General Nursing

    Advocate System?

    netglow replied to RB_RN_MSN's topic in Illinois Nursing

    netglow replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    netglow replied to chicagonurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Don't count on there being a position for you as an RN once you are finished. Again, not your fault. Lots of people I knew were passed over. These excellent students with prior degrees and great...
