    Drug Legalization

    lrobinson5 replied to commonsense's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    No matter what way you meant for it to go across, to compare sexual assault and drugs in the same breath is a divisive and manipulative tactic. Just like when people compare marrying a cow to two gay...

    The Patient I Failed

    lrobinson5 replied to nerdtonurse?'s topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    It is so sad that the explanation for these events is probably that the children will be the ones around to sue the hospital, not the poor patient that had their most important wishes destroyed. Great...

    Online Anatomy & Physiology?? (accredited!)

    lrobinson5 replied to Lynn829's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If I had to put up with Cat smell for two semesters than everyone should damnit! Ok maybe that's a little harsh I would just triple check with the college you want to go for your RN accepts whatever...

    I cry after I see a baby born-can you give me some advice

    lrobinson5 replied to JerseyBSN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't really get the feeling that there was something wrong with the OP. Birth is a beautiful thing. The mother holding her baby for the first time is unique. I think you should accept that you are...

    Holding our tongues vs things we really want to say!

    lrobinson5 replied to TraumaNurseRN's topic in Emergency

    you are charged for going to an emergency room when it is deemed not necessary, at least in california when you are on medi-cal. i know this firsthand. i had a complication from an epidural, i was...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    From what I hear the reason it is tough to find a job is because new grads have no work experience. I'm not saying a BSN is bad, and I think it is great that you are doing it right off the bat. I...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    SORRY, you said Fall but I was thinking Spring. I don't see why they wouldn't take the grade... it would be turned in within a week or so of the due date. If you want to know for sure you have to ask,...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    More than likely they will not count the better grade, because it is "In progress". However, since you've passed Anthropology there shouldn't be anything holding you back. People that don't have all...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    Ariel: We were called in December when the semester started on Valentines Day (Feb. 14, I think?) So we had over a month to get everything done. Hawaii: I was an alternate, and there was quite a large...

    Would EMT B help me land an er tech job?

    lrobinson5 replied to soxgirl2008's topic in Emergency

    I had no luck getting a job with my EMT license period. This was back in 2008 in Southern California, and there were no jobs. Ultimately led me to the nursing program, so I can't complain. I would ask...

    When hiring, do hospitals look at where you got your BSN?

    lrobinson5 replied to traceydolovesyou's topic in General Nursing

    That's exactly why I could never recommend going there! I thought it was an exaggeration when I first heard it, but sadly no... I can't believe they've found so many people that were willing to pay...

    When hiring, do hospitals look at where you got your BSN?

    lrobinson5 replied to traceydolovesyou's topic in General Nursing

    I would find a community college and just get your ADN. I go to Riverside Community College and will probably spend around $4000 for my ADN. They even offer classes through CSU Fullerton on the...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    Man, I hadn't thought about that... I suppose if the one with a better grade is not an acceptable course then it wouldn't count. It says that either sociology-1 or anthropology-2 is acceptable. ANT-2...

    Riverside Community College Spring 2011

    lrobinson5 replied to lrobinson5's topic in California Nursing

    Hello there! RCC will always take the class with the highest grade. If you have taken two courses in anthropology, one with an "A" the other "C", the higher one will be taken. This is what the...

    Rh and blood Type

    lrobinson5 replied to cantwait2graduate's topic in General Nursing

    Blood types are determined by two factors, the antigens that are on their surface and their Rh factor. You can have antigens: A, B, AB, or none which is type O. The + or - then just tells you if there...

    How does the US Nursing System works?

    lrobinson5 replied to BSN Happyface's topic in General Nursing

    I would focus on what state you might get experience in. Like the above poster said, there are nurse-patient ratios in California, but I'm not sure about how other states work. I do know that working...

    What comes first? Religious beliefs or Osha Safety Guidelines?

    lrobinson5 replied to nnurse32's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe there is some sort of sock that has a very functional grip at the bottom? I wouldn't want to take a risk with no shoes

    Riverside community college nursing program spring 2010 acceptance/denial

    lrobinson5 replied to ERN STUDENT 55's topic in General Nursing

    https://allnurses.com/ca-nursing-programs/riverside-community-college-507792.html I made this thread for Spring 2011, at least on page 7 people were talking about the points they had received, but...

    Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    lrobinson5 replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    IMO the only thing barring someone from nursing school is something that will bar them from getting a license. If you have a felony and can't get a nursing license what is the point of going through...

    What would you have done?

    lrobinson5 replied to wbdtrt's topic in General Nursing

    I probably would have breathed fire out of my mouth, but that's why I don't want to be a supervisor. I agree with the above, if she had any sort of problem there are better ways to talk to you about...

    I don't like dead people

    lrobinson5 replied to dawn.b-RN's topic in General Nursing

    I have been scared of this happening ever since I saw Dawn of the Dead. I know it's silly, but that movie scared the hell out of me. I guess it doesn't help that the main character was an

    Male OB Frustration

    lrobinson5 replied to IKnowYouRider's topic in Male Nursing Students

    You should definitely talk to your clinical instructor. Try and get the same set up as you did on the first day. You should be allowed to participate in clinical just like your female

    I believe it varies from campus to campus, but RCC has their point-breakdown on the website: (on the last page) http://www.rcc.edu/academicPrograms/nursing/files/SteveRN440b2-10RNInfoSheet.pdf To give...

    Accepted to CRNA school w/ Online BSN?

    lrobinson5 replied to robert1083's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    That is not true. There are plenty of online schools that are part of traditional brick and mortar schools and hold the same accreditation. Many schools that offer RN-BSN, online is the only option....

    Accepted to CRNA school w/ Online BSN?

    lrobinson5 replied to robert1083's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Just because a school is 'accredited' doesn't mean it is accepted by other universities. Most online schools are accredited through a different agency than 'real' colleges. I know that the colleges I...
