    What is your opinion of medical assistants?

    lrobinson5 replied to MissJulie's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the school she is going to is pumping up the students? I can see why they would lie, trying to justify charging so much for training. I don't know what to say... the medical assistant at my...

    She/He Did What?!

    lrobinson5 replied to walkingonthestars's topic in General Nursing

    @Libran, long read *phew* I only had one question: are you allowed to look at the nursing notes that others write? I've only heard from the mantra in nursing school that you can't access anything that...

    lrobinson5 replied to BeautifulDoeLVN's topic in General Nursing

    So they basically scolded her for making the RN look

    First patient death at change of shift...feeling like a failure

    lrobinson5 replied to Little_Mouse's topic in General Nursing

    Gut instincts can be very accurate. I think you and maybe more people kind of knew what was in store for her. From what you said you sound like a very caring nurse, and I hope you can see that and get...

    She/He Did What?!

    Agreed. I try and give the benefit of the doubt, maybe too

    Lame Nurse Practitioner

    lrobinson5 replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I wonder how that would have went to a patient that wasn't a nurse: "Well why didn't you check the wound before leaving?" That question only works for someone that is upset that fast food workers...

    She/He Did What?!

    lrobinson5 replied to walkingonthestars's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really think the OP was meaning to bash other nurses. Also, sometimes comparing the mistakes of others is something we can learn from. That being said, there are many threads that are almost...

    Want to move to a coastal town with a great hospital to work at as nurse manager

    lrobinson5 replied to Cville RN's topic in Nurse Management

    It isn't on the east coast, but people around here swear by Hoag Hospital. I think they have a hospital in Newport Beach and Irvine. I have heard very good stories from both patients and

    Two-minus-one pregnancy

    lrobinson5 replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thank you so much for the info! I have always wondered about this topic. I have never been in that situation, and I don't know anyone that has been either. I think it is wonderful to adopt children...

    Two-minus-one pregnancy

    lrobinson5 replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Why is it that whenever adoption comes up in conversation, people automatically start talking about what countries are open for adoption? I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong with adopting from a...

    Two-minus-one pregnancy

    lrobinson5 replied to Elvish's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The most frustrating to me is that she already had kids and made this decision. It is hers to make, but if at 45 you decide you want another child, why on earth wouldn't you adopt? I can't imagine how...

    Old Nursing Books

    lrobinson5 replied to newbienurse2011's topic in First Year After Licensure

    To add to what caliotter said: I would write all of the isbns down and look them all up on half.com. If it was a $100 book now on sale for a low of $0.75 you might as well keep it. If it is still the...

    ZZZZ's - Time to be honest!

    lrobinson5 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    That is something that I always wonder about and am scared of. How do you drive home when you are THAT tired? There have been times that I have taken a long drive, usually very late at night and over...

    For my daughters 15 month old shots she got MMR IM, or at least it appeared that way? I didn't think any vaccinations were given

    Quitting more than one addiction

    lrobinson5 replied to Nursetastic's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard even worse. A very close relative was pregnant, and she smoked throughout the entire pregnancy because supposedly the Doctor told her that it would be worse for you to take away the...

    What do you do with motorcycle helmets after a motorcycle accident?

    lrobinson5 replied to LegzRN's topic in Emergency

    They should be taken off the market so to speak, and throwing them in the trash can gets the job done. The only thing I would look in to is if there is any way to recycle it. Also, you might advise...

    get ER wait times on your phone ?

    lrobinson5 replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    They do that for Riverside Community Hospital. I looked it up for a friend that was going to the ER. Pretty accurate, it said a 20 minute wait time and she saw a doctor in about 30

    Any National University of San Diego RN Alumni out there?

    lrobinson5 replied to nurturebynature's topic in California Nursing

    I don't remember how long I studied... Just pretty much made it through the whole review and took the practice test the weekend before the actual exam. Definitely study as much as you feel will...

    Any National University of San Diego RN Alumni out there?

    lrobinson5 replied to nurturebynature's topic in California Nursing

    I didn't go to NU but I did very well on the TEAS test by getting the review booklet and getting the online practice assessment. (I think it was about $40 for both) Good luck

    im i making the right decision?

    lrobinson5 replied to walulu's topic in General Nursing

    The only one who can answer that is you. I highly recommend going to a counselor, that way you have an impartial person that you can talk to. When I was pregnant there were wonderful counselors at...

    What would cause an allergic reaction...

    lrobinson5 replied to mommywithplenty's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have insurance that covers an allergy screening? If I were you I would avoid those things until you consult a specialist and get a test. Obviously if you can't find out for sure, better safe...
