    Ginger's Person replied to Annalin81's topic in General Nursing

  3. MN Program Interviews

    Ginger's Person replied to Annalin81's topic in General Nursing

    Ginger's Person replied to what2donow's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

  6. Illegal Immigration & Health Care Reform: Prespective

    Ginger's Person replied to female12233's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    "I have no internal conflict over it. I don't feel they should be receiving ANY medical care here, or welfare benefits. Most of them do not pay into the system, so their using it amounts to stealing...

    Ginger's Person replied to MedOncIllinoisRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    An anecdote... A friend of mine who graduated from another big public nursing school in the midwest (UW-Madison) was offered a few fab jobs in California. One boss said that "those universities in the...

  8. RN - New ADD Diagnosis

    Ginger's Person replied to Titania2009's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I've never worked as a nurse... just as a CNA, a waitress, a college student, and a million other things that require an attention span and focus greater than my spastic gnat-like reticular formation...

  9. New home health CNA

    Ginger's Person posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I start as a home health CNA next week. They give us 2 full weeks of training, which is fantastic, and the organization seems like a great employer, but I'm still way nervous. What kinds of situations...

  10. Do you have advice for med students on your floor...

    Ginger's Person posted a topic in General Nursing

    My roommate started his 3rd year med school clinicals earlier this month, on a general medical floor. He's working hard and is trying to do a good job, but he knows he has a lot to learn. As nurses,...

  11. Education vs Experience

    Ginger's Person replied to Airforce1's topic in General Nursing

    I really wish I agreed with you. I'm going to get a second bachelors in nursing, and I eventually plan to chose an advanced practice specialty. It would be nice to get school over with sooner and go...

  12. Germophobic considering Nursing. please help!

    Ginger's Person replied to kgard7777's topic in General Nursing

    With all the hospital acquired infections running around, a little germophobia could go a long way. As long as your fear of germs isn't straight up debilitating maybe you'd run an extra tight ship!...

    Ginger's Person replied to LuLu2008's topic in Home Health

    I'm a CNA, and applied for a bunch of jobs last month. One home health agency called to interview me after I submitted the shortest job app I submitted in my life... no references, no resume, no...

  14. CNA interview questions

    Ginger's Person replied to emmasma's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just had, how to you tell a coworker who's falling behind in their job to pick up the pace? Also, how do you prioritize your cares... if you had to do several things at once, how would you decide...

  16. Chemistry before Physiology?

    Ginger's Person replied to HumorHeals22's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in A&P II, and starting chem next semester. I don't think taking chem later has been a problem at all for me. Whenever we have to understand any chemistry related concept at all (osmosis,...

  17. do you think docs know what they're doing with your patients?

    Ginger's Person posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I just read this column about how doctors often don't get any geriatric training, despite the fact that a huge portion of their patients are elderly, and this often leads to quite bad medicine....

  18. do you think docs know what they're doing with your patients?

    Ginger's Person replied to Ginger's Person's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Thanks for the info. Oh, and I'm not a doctor basher either :) Maybe the thread title sounded a little snarky, in retrospect... sorry all you doctors out there! I'm just trying to get a sense of how...

  19. What do health insurance corporations do?

    Ginger's Person replied to herring_RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I have family members who work for a small health insurance company, which I would argue is relatively un-evil. From what I can tell, a lot of employee hours, in this company anyway are spent... -...

  20. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    Ginger's Person replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    ... just an addendum... Just because I want an A doesn't mean I see classmates as competition. The best way for me to learn is in groups, so I'm more than happy to help out a classmate if I can. We're...

  21. Are you a competitive Nursing Student?

    Ginger's Person replied to VidaUrbana's topic in General Students

    For my first degree I had a 3.5 which was not at all my best work. Now that I have a career goal for which I know having a 4.0 will help, and I know I'm capable of a 4.0, I'd be shooting myself in the...

  22. NP abortion providers?

    Ginger's Person posted a topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I was wondering if any of you know if NP's or CNM's may, where you live, be first trimester abortion providers. Have any of you been trained in abortion procedures, or know of any advanced practice...

  23. Free boob job hiring perk for nurses

    Ginger's Person replied to treetop2's topic in General Nursing

    Free reductions. That would get me and my aching back to Prague. That headline is a bit salacious, no? They offer whatever cosmetic plastic surgery to nurses, docs, and secretaries, and the headline...

    Ginger's Person posted a topic in General Nursing
