  3. New nurse under pressure

    I don't mean to sound callous, but this is exactly why it is not always a good idea to be in home health as a new grad. I totally understand your fears. I would have had them also before gaining...
  4. I've really never heard of the term 'permanent residency,' let alone having to apply for it. But yes, if you live in a state for 2-3 years, you will need to establish residency: driver's license,...
  5. Nursing loans really that bad? 120K

    It is not, and likely will never be, worth $100,000+ in student loans for a nursing
  6. You will all probably hate me for this

    Because we are not mind readers who magically "know" how you want to be treated? OR, we may "know" what you want but don't agree with your sense of what is appropriate Internet...
  7. You will all probably hate me for this

    "Hateful." "Poorly." So many adjectives that have different meanings for different folks. What is hateful to one is constructive to another. What is being "treated poorly" to one is "blunt...
  8. You will all probably hate me for this

    I very much disagree. As has been mentioned already, this site is tightly moderated. Egregiously mean, snarky or outright nasty posts simply are not tolerated. I'm a living example - you should see...

  11. Guess what? Going to the hospital to interview nurses is exactly what you were supposed to do! The Internet will never be able to substitute for live, in-person interaction. Congratulations! You...

  14. nursing program

    Who/what/where is CUTY Tech? And why aren't you asking the school this question? Not sure how anyone here could answer that
  15. What is the easiest way to get ACLS certified?

    If I were you and wanted to be competent, I wouldn't be looking for "easiest." I would look for "most comprehensive" or "most successful." If I were an LVN with ACLS certification behind my name, I...
  16. Closed Nursing Unit

    Out of curiosity, why does this make you laugh? I am one to whom the thought of being next up to float can ruin the night before: forget any sleep. It's part anxiety as to 1) what type/acuity...
  17. Narcan prescriptions in NH

    You didn't ask me but I'll answer. What bothers me is the question of enabling a user to feel more free to (over)indulge, knowing that an overdose can be easily & quickly reversed. I can't...

  21. Nursing school on probation

    What she said. Be glad you found this out - most schools try to hide this fact. How long they stay on probation - who knows? Jump ship now while you're still taking pre-reqs (yet another thing to...
  22. Help!

    Ummmm....it would be exceedingly extraordinary if 1967 college credits transferred as valid to a 2015 program, even if a degree was involved. Please provide proof for the
  23. Help!

    You need to be sure of that before you explore your options any further. There is a point where earned credits are no longer valid unless they resulted in a
  24. Help!

    Are you sure that your 8-year-old credits are still
  25. Nurses against Narcotic Abuse

    Personally, I feel that my ED physicians, my back pain specialists, my chronic pain specialists (I say "my" in reference to those MD's in my network) are fully aware of the narcotic seekers, and only...
