  1. From massage to nursing?

    Nemhain replied to happybody's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hmmm... how transformative is nursing??? I can't really answer that except to say if you're looking to relive your massage school experience you'll be very disappointed. My massage school education...

  2. From massage to nursing?

    Nemhain replied to happybody's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I was a massage therapist (part-time) for a few years before I went to nursing school. The transition was mostly smooth. The only thing I really had to get used to was a few of my fellow classmates....

  3. Gloves Necessary For SQ Injections?

    Nemhain replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Patient Medications

    Yep, I wear gloves. Err... actually make that glove... I only wear 1 glove and it goes on my nondominate hand. I'm only refering to injections and not things like

  4. Nurse Massage Therapy

    Nemhain replied to nurseyperson's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Programs vary from 6 months to a year. In order to be a Nurse Massage Therapist you just have to have nursing license and a massage license and they may be obtained in any order. You may be a nurse...

  5. Holistic scope NP--dream or possibility?

    Nemhain replied to golden-hair's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I wouldn't be surprised if they did someday. Many schools are slated to start the Doctorate of Nursing Practice. However, this doesn't mean a greater scope of practice for the NP; it's just a...

  6. Holistic scope NP--dream or possibility?

    Nemhain replied to golden-hair's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I thought I'd add in my 2 cents on this (I hope you don't mind). I'm familiar with U of Texas - Austin's "Holistic Adult Health" program. Usually in the nursing world (like at UofT) the word...

  7. Holistic scope NP--dream or possibility?

    Nemhain replied to golden-hair's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'd say at this point NPs may adopt a holistic philosophy in their practice, but as far as a program goes there is not one in existence that will prepare a NP to be well versed in...

  8. What Are My Chances Of Success...come On, Be Forthright

    Nemhain replied to PLTSGT's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I've been a massage therapist for 10 years and have lived in 7 different states. I'm also a Registered Nurse. My friend who's a guy and a MT works at a health club along with 3 other men and 2...

  9. What Are My Chances Of Success...come On, Be Forthright

    Nemhain replied to PLTSGT's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Holy Cow! Good Lord donerebecca3! What part of the U.S. do you practice? The only time I've heard wispers of massage therapists being thought of as anything different than professionals was about...

  10. What Are My Chances Of Success...come On, Be Forthright

    Nemhain replied to PLTSGT's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Men make excellent massage therapists. I know many more male massage therapists than I do male nurses. Just remember (and this goes for everyone) keep it professional even if you're massaging a...

  11. Flag Staff Medical Hospital RNs to vote....

    Nemhain replied to mark hamel's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I agree. ...and to add to the other posters...no one here hates foreign nurses, some of us are just frustrated by the situation. I would feel less frustrated if foreign nurses were hired to help...

  12. Saunders 3rd ed & Lippincott??

    Nemhain replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If you were to just do the Saunders I think that would be fine. Saunders is one of the more challenging reviews, whereas the Lippincott I found to be a bit

  13. What you make as a nurse Vs. Cost of living

    Nemhain replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Nursing

    I think the cage is to keep the birds and alligators

  14. wanna be wants advice

    Nemhain replied to Skili's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hey! Good to hear from ya!!! I'm glad you love massage school. An 8X10 room should be plenty of room (I'm assuming you're not over 6ft. tall). Don't worry about if it's enough room for the...

  15. Is this true???

    Nemhain replied to tiggerslj9's topic in Arizona Nursing

    :yeahthat: There are about 125,000 open nursing positions in the U.S. There are 500,000 registered nurses who are not employed in nursing right now. Do the

  16. GPA needed for NP school?

    Nemhain replied to Awndie's topic in Post Graduate Students

    It really depends on where you apply. Almost every place I know of requires at least a 3.0 Some of the more competitive school may require at least a

  17. Why Can't Hospitals Offer Shifts Other Than 12 hr. 7 to 7?

    Nemhain replied to neonurse97's topic in General Nursing

    I actually love 12 hour shifts, but I hate the 7-7 variety. I wish more hospitals would have more choices for the 12 hour shifts. I would love to work any type of 11-11 or 3-3 shift. I think the...

  18. grades

    Nemhain replied to carla08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Failing a course doesn't mean that you'll automatically be disqualified from entering another program. There were a few in my program that came from other schools because of failing. I would call...

    Nemhain replied to -Midget-'s topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Hi there! I "bumped" a thread up (wanna be wants advice) that you may want to look at. I answered (rather lengthy answers) a few questions someone else had about getting into massage. If you still...

  22. wanna be wants advice

    Nemhain replied to Skili's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    There have been many questions about getting into massage by a few other posters so I thought I'd bump this thread up in hopes that it will answer a few questions for

  23. At report-off time...

    Nemhain replied to arv's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ooooh great resource

  24. Very bad clinical evaluation from my instructor

    Nemhain replied to Bala Shark's topic in General Students

    I don't think classmates should be able to evaluate their fellow student's performance in clinical. I was too busy with my patients to know what the other students were

  25. Friends failing class :(

    Nemhain replied to hollya5334's topic in General Students

    Sorry to hear about your friend. My school was the same way. I had a few friends not make it through by less than 1 point. One of them got into a car accident the day before our test and was in a...
