  1. I just set my friend up

    roser13 replied to Kaylle's topic in General Students

    Your friend is a big girl (at least as big as you). You are not responsible for her or her choices. You are 18. You need to focus on yourself and your choices. Support your friend and her choices,...

  2. Elephant in the China Shop

    roser13 replied to hcworker's topic in General Nursing

    There is no "elephant" in any room (or china shop). This is discussed all the time between health care professionals, and always from the standpoint or providing the most comfortable, professional...

  3. What is the least stressful high paying nursing specialty?

    roser13 replied to celtickimba's topic in General Nursing

    Any nursing position has the potential to provide a 6-figure income, provided you are willing to work 80+hr weeks in the shifts that provide a shift differential: week-ends, evenings and nights....

  4. Why do hospitals continue use the incentive spirometer?

    roser13 replied to felixis12's topic in General Nursing

    Oh man! I let my guard down! Shame on

  5. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    roser13 replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    A nursing degree is not worth $118,000 in lifetime debt. An MBA, maybe. Just maybe. Nursing degree: no, no, and

  6. Should I get my free laptop?

    roser13 replied to ANMpreN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't understand why you're even questioning this. (Let alone asking us, who have no way of knowing anything about this.) You got the email telling you how/when/where to pick up your laptop. Go...

  7. RNs: Would you feel comfortable training in and injecting Botox and other fillers?

    roser13 replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    Who wants to

  8. Thinking

    roser13 replied to Jessicalynn7's topic in General Nursing

    Does ANYTHING pay "a lot" in

  9. Why do hospitals continue use the incentive spirometer?

    roser13 replied to felixis12's topic in General Nursing

    1) It's not doing any harm. 2) Unless & until something better comes along, why not use the tools you have? You could not ever convince me that routinely expanding your lungs while in the healing...

  10. Lost and in need of advice

    roser13 replied to MNbyte's topic in General Nursing

    Have you passed

  11. Lacking confidence

    roser13 replied to tamb15's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever taken an ACLS course? While it doesn't seem as if your current position requires it, certifying with ACLS would certainly boost your confidence in your emergency preparedness. Keep in...

  12. Nursing frustration

    roser13 replied to Laurac15's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of support are you hoping to find? Counseling services? Job placement

  13. Medical Marijuana for nurses

    roser13 replied to JB-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I predict an uphill battle for you. The medical profession and the public have a very long way to go before marijuana use is acceptable in a healthcare provider. Or in any responsible position, for...

  14. Should autism parenting be an Olympic event? A trip to the dentist

    roser13 replied to Donna Maheady's topic in General Nursing

    To whom are you

  15. Can I take a float job as a new grad?

    roser13 replied to opy73's topic in General Nursing

    Can you? Sure. Should you? The jury is out on that one. I really do hope that your facility is as you believe it to be. God help you if it's not. If there are units that expect a seasoned nurse...

  16. Any info on being a nurse apprentice?

    roser13 replied to ashrose1992's topic in General Nursing

    So, Student Nurse, essentially? That makes a whole lot more

  17. Any info on being a nurse apprentice?

    roser13 replied to ashrose1992's topic in General Nursing

    I have never heard of a nurse apprentice. Are you in the States? Your statement that some apprentices (whatever that is) "practically function as RN's" could not be more off-base. And I confidently...

  18. What if nursing doesn't work?

    roser13 replied to snow22's topic in General Nursing

    You're missing the point. You are 3 months - THREE MONTHS!! - into a career that took you years to achieve. You have no basis AT THIS POINT to even begin to determine what may or may not be "the...

  19. What if nursing doesn't work?

    roser13 replied to snow22's topic in General Nursing

    Three months and you've already ruled out a vast section of nursing? Three months is not nearly long enough for an experienced nurse to have a decent understanding of a specialty, let alone a new...

  20. 2 weeks left of orientation and super nervous!!

    roser13 replied to hopemedsurg2picu's topic in General Nursing

    I think that those nurses with whom you are working would be the best judges of your ability to move on from orientation. Since you have had praise from your co-workers, I would guess that you will...

  21. Are ER Patients Getting More Ridiculous?

    roser13 replied to us2uk4u's topic in Emergency

    After 10 years in some kind of nursing capacity, I would think that your blinders (to human/medical realities) would be off. Self-righteousness is unbecoming, generally speaking.

  22. Any confirmation on this doozy?

    roser13 replied to BuckyBadgerRN's topic in General Nursing

    LOL!! I have never, in my entire career, heard a practicing RN say this about returning for their BSN. And the biggest raise I've ever seen was a gigantic $0.50. I think this is all just a bunch...

  23. Should autism parenting be an Olympic event? A trip to the dentist

    roser13 replied to Donna Maheady's topic in General Nursing

    OP, when you are responding directly to another post, it is so helpful when you use the "quote" button on the bottom right of that post. That way, those of us following along can see who/what you are...

  24. Australian RN wanting to live and work in the US

    roser13 replied to cbmiller23's topic in Nurse Registration

    No one is guaranteed a job in America, especially nurses. There are thousands and thousands of unemployed nurses in the states, with the majority of them probably living in California. A single "pay...

  25. Foster Care Nursing

    roser13 replied to NurseSmiley2's topic in General Nursing

    I've never heard of a foster care facility, only foster families. Can you describe what one is
