    Nemhain replied to NoCrumping's topic in Operating Room

    WOooOOoOoo HoOOoOoo!!! I'm excited for you! Nurses always make a smooth transition into any new area with a thorough training program. 9 months sounds like they're giving you an excellent amount of...

  2. Giving pain meds thru a colostomy?

    Nemhain replied to Blackcat99's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    i was wondering too about the position of the colostomy. hmm...if you put meds in, wouldn't they be on their way back out soon after? maybe something that absorbs

  3. Anyone used greenbottle fly larvae on necrotic tissue before?

    Nemhain replied to beochicken's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    As gross as it may sound, using fly larvae (aka maggots) are perfect for the removal of necrotic tissue 'cause they'll only eat dead tissue. Now, I imagine this saves the person who would have to go...

  4. Does it ever concern you that we could be making more doing bartending?

    Nemhain replied to blynn's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Bartending can be fun, really fun. Maybe you can just pick up a shift or two on a weekend. My friend is in nursing school and she can't wait to be a nurse, but she also loves the social atmosphere...

  5. Malpractice Insurance for Nurse Massage Therapist

    Nemhain replied to lyv33's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I've been in the massage field for almost 10 years and I've actually never even heard of anyone getting sued...really. Even one of my former instructors who serves on the state board said that he...

    Nemhain posted a topic in Nursing Humor

  8. NCLEX pass rates for your school?

    Nemhain replied to Robin61970's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thanks Vicky. How about this?... I would also like to see an additional score for a school based on the NCLEX pass rate and the school's attrition rate; let's call it the 'Attrition Factor'!!!...

  9. New Grad. Should I work in CCU?

    Nemhain replied to rdiehl45's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    I'm not sure of any in Minnesota, but I know that lots of large hospitals (meaning more than 250 beds) out west have them, you'll just have to ask... I am aware of programs like these in Seattle,...

  10. New Grad. Should I work in CCU?

    Nemhain replied to rdiehl45's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    If you really want to do it and your future employer has a critical care for new grads program, I say, "go for it!" By "new grad program" I don't mean just you with a preceptor. Some of the larger...

  11. Would you become a nurse again

    Nemhain replied to Human nurse's topic in General Nursing

    My friend is a travel OR nurse and she made $2200/week before taxes. She had a 26 week contract in Nebraska and she got $40/hr plus she worked 10 overtime every week. Working the 10hrs overtime a...

  13. NCLEX pass rates for your school?

    Nemhain replied to Robin61970's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Attrition rate also needs to be taken into consideration when looking at a school's pass rate! What if school "A" has a 90% pass rate and admits 100 people, but only 4 fail out? …so that means...

  14. RN to MSN?!?!?! What are your thoughts?????

    Nemhain replied to FoxyRoxy21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think RN-MSN programs are a great way to further your education, however, all of the programs I am aware of don't allow the RN student to by-pass the BSN work. All of the students are awarded 36...

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

  18. Nursing programs with NO WAITLISTS!

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

    just remember that a lot of schools don't have waitlists, but there may be a lot of people applying for those spots. A poster on this board mention that her school had more than 1,000 people applying...

  20. Art Career to Nursing Career

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

    As a fellow artist, I think art majors could fit well into nursing because we tend to not view everything as black or white and most of us are able to be inspired by and think in the abstract; after...

  21. Drug Test Question

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

    You shouldn't have a problem as positive drug tests for jobs aren't ever (at least I've never heard of it being) reported to police. Now, if this is possibly a future clinical site and you come up...

  22. Any of you have a bad past?

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

  25. To believe or not to believe (the patient)?

    Nemhain replied to lisa1130's topic in General Nursing

    I always try and give them the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes you may never know if they are lying or telling the truth. I make an attempt to take what they're saying as truth. I don't ever call...
