    Why won't anyone hire new graduate nurses??!!?!?

    lrobinson5 replied to samae23's topic in General Nursing

    If you're desperate, you might relocate to get that infamous year of experience. I know it would be difficult, but absence does make the heart grow

    Vaccination administration question - Help

    lrobinson5 replied to Irishlass79's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds incredibly painful. Tetorifice is a really irritating injection to get. I've never heard of this being done, it has always been

    "Do you wanna.......huh...........do you really wanna?"

    lrobinson5 replied to eriksoln's topic in General Nursing

    I think that treating patients as customers is an ethical issue. In business, the customer is always right, i.e. you do anything and everything to keep them happy. I think that trying to apply this...

    Microbiology... prof has horrible rating on RMP

    lrobinson5 replied to breezy7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I've seen bad reviews based on the sexual appeal of an instructor. Generally speaking bad reviews don't come from students that get an 'A', it is from people that are unhappy with the grade they...

    Have you checked out Riverside Community College? I think they require you to reapply for every semester you try

    MRSA: why hx of MRSA must be documented in the pt's chart?

    lrobinson5 replied to Miley22's topic in General Nursing

    Having MRSA once does not make you immune to getting it again, quite the opposite actually. A friend of mine got an infected wound, turned out to be MRSA. Now she has random flare ups of the...

    What kind of car do you drive for those 1+ hour commutes?

    lrobinson5 replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    Since everyone is also commenting about safety, I have to give props to the ford focus. My husband rolled our focus on the 91 (Southern California) about a month ago now and walked away from it with a...

    What kind of car do you drive for those 1+ hour commutes?

    lrobinson5 replied to 2011nursetobe's topic in General Nursing

    My mom has a little under an hour drive to work and she has a toyota yaris. She actually has the 2-door, and it is still very roomy, I can only imagine the 4-door sedan (I think they also have a...

    The dreaded pregnancy test

    lrobinson5 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    My sister went on accutane (sp?) when she was in middle school. Not only did they require a pregnancy test, they required TWO birth control pills. All for a 13-year-old virgin. I wouldn't have it any...

    Salt and hydration?

    The dreaded pregnancy test

    lrobinson5 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    I haven't heard anything bad about dollar store tests. The one thing I would say is that all of the highly sensitive tests allow you to know BEFORE your missed period. Most people worried about being...

    The dreaded pregnancy test

    lrobinson5 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    I can't blame her for being angry. The one time I was bleeding during a pregnancy was when I was having a miscarriage. If they had sent me away to a different hospital I would have felt like they were...

    The dreaded pregnancy test

    lrobinson5 replied to psu_213's topic in Emergency

    SERIOUSLY PEOPLE. The 99 cent only store. I don't even understand how the makers of name brand pregnancy tests stay in business when you can spend 8-9 times less for the same *******

    Protocol for HIV partner notification

    lrobinson5 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I think you can actually be in trouble with the law if you have sex with someone and not tell them you are HIV positive. I don't think it would be out of the question to mention that to your HIV +...

    How to Handle Student Incivility

    I actually think banning computers would be the easiest way to keep the classroom under control, but it doesn't help later when your grads have no self control with staying on task and using things...

    Immunizations & nursing school

    There are so many things wrong with your assertions. Not having a vaccination is not just "your problem". You will endanger every single patient you come in to contact with, ESPECIALLY because your...

    Am I waisting my time with associates degree?

    lrobinson5 replied to chall2011's topic in General Nursing

    I would say that most people want to go on for their BSN, so if you have an opportunity to take it at the university level you might think about it. I know that most of my classmates (In an ADN...

    Not-for-profit vs for-profit colleges...did this make a difference?

    lrobinson5 replied to BabyLady's topic in General Students

    It probably does have to do with each individual ofr-profit college, but understand that they just don't have a good reputation. They are in the business of making money, so automatically the focus...

    lrobinson5 replied to molela's topic in General Nursing

    I just finished my 1st semester and have 2 small children. It takes a lot of money for day care, juggling, and just plain winging it somedays. We also had our car totaled and I had to take the bus for...

    Argh, I always get mixed up on that, same with which hospitals in my area are what. The main point still holds true though. I am sure there are reputable for-profit colleges and some really bad ones....

    Not-for-profit vs for-profit colleges...did this make a difference?

    lrobinson5 replied to BabyLady's topic in General Students

    I think that it isn't necessarily whether it is for-profit or not, just WHICH for-profit college you went to. Harvard is a for-profit college, and so is the University of Phoenix. There is a world of...
