  1. California Hospitals are not forward thinking!

    JomoNurse replied to RN, PHN's topic in General Nursing

    i agree that RNs are overpayed. we live in a fantasy world... a 2 YEAR ASSOCIATE'S degree and we can make $30/hr, while people with Master's degrees make dirt. Two year degrees need to be done away...

  2. How come t here are no Males RNs on a peds floor?

    JomoNurse replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    i would leave my child with a male coach and a male Dr. I just think there's a big difference when you're leaving your child with a male stranger, alone, at night, for 12 hours. Don't get me wrong, I...

  3. What would make you say "I could never do that"

  4. Med Error?

    JomoNurse replied to navydad51's topic in General Nursing

    hmm.... well, at our hospital, it's the night nurse's responsibility to double check the MAR during the chart checks. i don't think it's that big of a deal, though. think of it as a harmless reminder...

  5. Horrible hospital experience!

    JomoNurse replied to southernbeegirl's topic in General Nursing

    ok, this is just MY opinion. I think you were completely out of line to run the show and tell the nurse what was going to happen. you were there as a visitor, you were not there running the show. i...

  6. Pain is not a "vital sign"

    JomoNurse replied to MikeyBSN's topic in General Nursing

    Pain is NOT a vital sign people. Let's use our noodle on this! The OP hit it right on the head. It's not objectively measurable. The ONLY reason it was taught to us recently in NS as a vital sign is...

  7. A physican where I work called a patient a "FAT PIG!"

    JomoNurse posted a topic in General Nursing

    A GI doc on my floor had to do abdominal surgery on a very fat woman. As you know, these surgeries take longer. It was his last case and he was very tired by the time it was completed. The family was...

  8. peds

    JomoNurse replied to 918runnr's topic in General Students

    Buy saunders review book (the most current edition) and study only the CD questions. Do about 100 per day (give or take a few). Understand why the answers are right, and why the other answers are...

  9. how long do u get for lunch?

    JomoNurse replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Technically we're supposed to get 30 minutes. Usually get anywhere from 1 hour to 2 hours. I love the nights we get to all sit in the breakroom and just rejoice with eachother over homecooked meals...

  10. "Becoming a Doctor is like, 100 times harder than becoming a nurse".

    JomoNurse replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Becoming a doctor is undoubtedly much harder than becoming a nurse. I'm not sure anyone can exactly quanitify the level of difficulty, though. Some of what nursing school teaches you is an absolute...

  13. Should Alzheimers Clients have the right to REFUSE medication ?

    JomoNurse replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    i don't think they should have the right to refuse. they are not in their right state of mind - no matter how aware or "with it" they seem. as nurses we know that the medication is going to benefit...

  14. From BSN to MD?

    JomoNurse replied to dancer_meggs's topic in General Nursing

    A physician at the hospital where I work used to be an RN. She immigrated here to the USA in the 1990s. It's doable, but the transition from a BSN to an MD is a huge leap. Lots of difficult courses to...

  15. what area of nursing do you never see yourself working in?

    JomoNurse replied to ErinDel's topic in General Nursing

    Wow - lots of people on this forum apparently don't like children.

  16. You must be an alcoholic

    JomoNurse replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    People that blurt out things like that should not be nurses!

  17. Working while in Nursing school?!

    JomoNurse replied to Mt8386's topic in General Nursing

    People told me how intense nursing school was going to be. They exaggerated that part of nursing school It's not a walk in the park, but it's also not one of the hardest things you'll do in life,...

  19. Discouraged

    JomoNurse replied to MegoEgo's topic in General Students

    Don't get discouraged! You're going to pass and this will all be behind you soon :) Now, what helps most students is if they read the chapters SLOWLY and thoroughly, making certain to understand every...

  20. My Pharm. Calc. teacher can barely speak proper english! help

    JomoNurse replied to caffeineRx's topic in General Nursing

    Most science and math classes in college are taught by foreign teachers (most, not all). How did you cope with your other instructors? Personally, I prefer foreign born teachers to american...

  21. Help Please!! Should I stay in nursing school?

    JomoNurse replied to scndglancee's topic in General Students

    i don't think 20 year olds are in their right mind to determine which job they want for the rest of their life. with that said, i would ride this wave out and finish the program and get your license....

  22. Failure rate of nursing schools.

    JomoNurse replied to merrywhiterose's topic in General Students

    I think our class started with 60 students, and 20 of those graduated in the end. FYI: low NCLEX pass rates make a school look "bad". Also, I think they are at risk for losing their credentials if a...

  23. A physican where I work called a patient a "FAT PIG!"

    JomoNurse replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I had to scurry off to work shortly after posting that so I've been MIA. Now my shift is complete and I have a few hours before I must go to sleep and get ready to head on over to my 2nd job. Finding...

  25. A physican where I work called a patient a "FAT PIG!"

    JomoNurse replied to JomoNurse's topic in General Nursing

    She wasn't my patient, I don't know and didn't ask because of HIPPA. I was shocked to hear that he said something like to a patient - he's nice and I've never seen him in a bad mood. But like someone...
