  1. Male OB nurse

    checker1981 replied to tony2353's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I see something wrong with this. What if the VA decided that since most of the population is male they won't hire females? That would be wrong, and it is 100% wrong that a person cannot be hired for...

  6. What is your opinion of medical assistants?

    checker1981 replied to MissJulie's topic in General Nursing

    The MA's have log-ins to escribe. The rx says Esigned by MA/LPN/RN whoever submits the rx is technically signing it. They could take a verbal order and punch it into the computer. That is why I...

  7. What is your opinion of medical assistants?

    checker1981 replied to MissJulie's topic in General Nursing

    Reading your post, everything the MA said is technically correct. MA's can sign rx on behalf of the physician, but cannot prescribe (if she said, I can prescribe drugs, then that is wrong). I am a...

    checker1981 replied to checker1981's topic in First Year After Licensure

    checker1981 replied to mightymurse's topic in Arizona Nursing

    checker1981 replied to mmelrose's topic in Arizona Nursing

    It estimates how well you will do on the NCLEX. It really isn't as much about retention where they teach you facts and see if you can remember those facts, it is critical thinking where you may get a...
