  1. Should I take NClex, HELP!!

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to BJohnsonNU80's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Even though you only have three days or so before you test, you might want to buy the Mosby CAT online review. You can easily ram through two or three of the practice tests (you have unlimited uses...

  2. Sexual harrasment paper...need help

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to luvnsg's topic in General Nursing

    Have you tried http://www.google.com? Also, people are somewhat slow sometimes to help someone with a paper or school assignment, but you might get some feedback if you ask people to tell about their...

  3. Who calls staff to replace sick calls?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    I thought this is why God made float pools and PRN. Silly

  4. Concerned about this and other sites

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Kikumaru's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I missed something important, because I couldn't find the place to get the free report either, although there was a little banner that said you could get one free report a year. Then all the...

  5. Why should i consider nursing?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to donnajo10's topic in General Nursing

    I hate that when it happens! But if you want your ADN, and you have your LPN, all is not lost. Before you give up, if you really want to do home health nursing and need that RN, check out Excelsior...

  6. Why should i consider nursing?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to donnajo10's topic in General Nursing

    I think if you are going to become a nurse, the reason comes from within. (I'm sure I am going to draw some serious fire over this, but here goes, anyway.....) If you are going to work with people...

  7. why no tylenol before blood cultures drawn?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to nursenatalie's topic in General Nursing

    The idea of withholding tylenol until and unless there is a fever, especially as you approach that 24 hour point where the culture would be drawn makes a lot of sense. If tylenol really could...

  8. What is Happening with the Texas BON!!!

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to barefootlady's topic in Texas Nursing

    Excellent points, on both sides. However, if there is one sex offender or "former" felon with a nursing license, that needs to be brought to the attention of the BON. If that info was available to...

  9. How much can 7yr ADN RN expect to earn/hr at nsg. hm in TX?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Shell5's topic in Texas Nursing

    The online survey type salary evaluations are dependent on a lot of factors, including the veracity of the data that they are based on. To see what the going rate is in your area (or one close by),...

  10. Ovaries Removed at Age 25?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to curleysue's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I was younger than you when I had an exploratory lap which revealed that the pain (bad enough it used to make me grab the wall) was from widespread endometriosis. It was everywhere, and there were...

  11. Translation, please....

    chris_at_lucas_RN posted a topic in International Nursing

    I saw these terms in a post by an Australian nurse, and posted a request for definitions, but was never acknowledged. Can someone please tell me what "SOBFI" and "milo" are? Apparently "milo" can be...

  12. FREE Continuing Education Module on Obesity

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Seems to be for docs. ("If you were this patient's physician, what would your assessment be?") I wonder if there is a way to know if the CE works for RN's who complete the modules.... Still a good...

  13. CA RN NCLEX result?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to ZZTopRN's topic in General Nursing

    The only info I could share comes from my very good friend out on the west coast. Since I'm pretty sure that's you, I don't think I'll be all that helpful..... :rotfl: I actually did consider...

  14. I got my NCLEX results today...

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to pie123's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I had extremely good results using Mosby's CAT (online version) to prepare. Everyone I have suggested use it, who has, has also had the same experience. Sometimes it isn't what you know, but how...

  15. FREE Continuing Education Module on Obesity

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to VickyRN's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Thanks! I'm having to download an update of Real Player, but as soon as that's done, I'll be starting Module

  16. dental fistula

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to renerian's topic in General Nursing

    I have a crown which traps food and must be immediately flossed as working at it with my tongue will not dislodge the chunk. I will never complain about it again, renerian. Hope by now you are much,...

  17. LPN to RN programs in HI

    chris_at_lucas_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Check out the distance learning thread and read up on Excelsior College. You would have to come to the continent for your clinical exam after you finished your studies, but you can study at will, on...

  18. Nursing Doctorate-University of South Africa

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to bookwormom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm interested in getting more info about this. Can you post the URL for the program you are in? Maybe there are grads of this program working in the US (I see you are in Appalachia)--that should...

  19. Do you guys notice this kind of stuff....??

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to wje9516's topic in General Nursing

    There are always going to be differences between people who work on the team, and there will always be somebody petty (or ignorant) enough to make some deal out of it. So ignore them. I came to...

  20. Do I LOOK Like A Nurse To You?

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to Haunted's topic in General Nursing

    My family (both sides) has come out solidly on the "I'm so proud of you" side. I didn't get 25% of this when I got my BA or my MA, not to mention my LMFT or when I had my children. Apparently the...

  21. Dallas Nurses

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chad75's topic in Texas Nursing

    You might check out Excelsior College--I used it for my ADN and was very pleased. An LVN/LPN is one credential which, provided you got it at an accredited school, guarantees admission. This works if...

  22. Dallas Nurses

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to chad75's topic in Texas Nursing

    I do not know of a single LVN/LPN working in Presby Dallas at the time I was there (about a year ago). In fact, I knew a girl who got her LVN and then could not work at that hospital (which seemed...

  23. Meet the Fockers

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, that let's me out

  24. Renowned Child Heart Surgeon Commits Suicide

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to ERNurse752's topic in General Nursing

    Don't remember what kind of cancer he had. I remember thinking, this guy could not possibly have much of a life, but he did. He ran regularly, worked out, and had a good marriage. There never are...

  25. Renowned Child Heart Surgeon Commits Suicide

    chris_at_lucas_RN replied to ERNurse752's topic in General Nursing

    We saw this series too. He was an enchanting and unusual individual--we don't know from a surgeon's skill, but you could feel the goodness of this man. Here is a link to a bit of other info about...
