  1. Thomas Edison State College RN-BSN Online Program?

    jaimealmostRN replied to Mantibob's topic in General Nursing

    Hi! I also posted about this, but alas, got no response (sob). I don't know a whole lot about it (which is why I posted), but I do know that they are accredited and only require a math class of...

    Hi Janetrette, I'm also entering my 4th semester of a ADN program (I don't want to jinx myself by saying the "L" word). Were doing more psych (yuck), oncology, and burns. I don't have any advice for...

  4. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    jaimealmostRN replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, me again. Can't an attorney/famiy put a lein against your earnings if you are found guilty? Or is that just debt? Geez, I think I need an extra class in

  5. Glad I got malpractice insurance

    jaimealmostRN replied to MarcusKspn's topic in General Nursing

    EEK! I'm soooooo confused. To buy or not to buy? On one hand, I don't want $$$ hungry families/lawyers after me just b/c I have the coverage, but I also would not want to loose my home/future...

  6. Nursing drop outs..Why??

    jaimealmostRN replied to kario's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    We lost the most (from 60 to 35ish) our first semester. Since then, it has only been a few people who have had to stay back and we only had one who failed out this semester (our third out of four)....

  7. Question about inmates

    jaimealmostRN replied to nursebaby22's topic in Correctional

    Psychopaths come in ALL races, genders, colors. Do not be fooled b/c "everyone is out to get him." This is the biggest line given by criminals. They were standing there minding there own business...

  8. Acceptance of online BSN (from ADN) degree by employers...

    jaimealmostRN replied to IamRN's topic in General Nursing

    Does anyone attend Thomas Edison state college? It's based in NJ but I think anyone can go there. It's NLN accredited, but I haven't heard too much about

    hi! don't mean to hijack this tread but i just have a quick question. what did you do in the surg. center? did you scrub or do consults? i'd love to work parttime in a plastic surg center, but...

  10. Qustions about Focus Assessment Charting!

    jaimealmostRN replied to Jen2's topic in Emergency

    I was just going to post about this! I spent the summer as a nurse extern on a tele unit, but plan to go to the ED on graduation (hopefully!). That head-to-toe assessment is burned into my brain....

  11. I'm starting to hate ICU nurses

    jaimealmostRN replied to Mayflye's topic in MICU, SICU

    Sorry this is happening to you. But I promise not all ICU nurses are like this. And of course you can't run a code, your brand new! They should not expect you to be able to do this. These people...

  12. What would you do in my situation...?

    jaimealmostRN replied to Nurse Ratchet's topic in General Nursing

    This is beautiful. A few years ago I had someone try to break into my apt. When the two police men showed up I really did almost kiss their feet. I still remember their names and every word they...

  13. "Int'l Disease Classificiation" numbers....

    jaimealmostRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    What the heck is this? I just download a program to my palm from skyscape and this came along with it for free. Is there any reason I should save it b/c it doesn't seem like it has any sort of use....

  14. What would you do in my situation...?

    jaimealmostRN replied to Nurse Ratchet's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you want to be a doctor. Go for it despite what your parents tell you about the job market...if your not happy in your choice of nursing you'll end up going back to school anyways....

  15. being pregnant and hair..........

    jaimealmostRN replied to uk_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    This is exactly what I've heard also. A doc (OB) on Oprah from U. Mass. quoted some references saying it was OK to dye hair in pregnancy, but that the chemicals in the air (nails, bleach, perming...

  16. Pda Software

    jaimealmostRN replied to murmur's topic in Emergency

    On the pepid site: I don't understand. Do you download it just once, or do you have to go back for updates? It lists a 6mo, 12mo subscriptions. Can someone explain this? I'd like to just download...

  17. tattoos in the workplace

    jaimealmostRN replied to wiseguy99's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't think it's a big deal either, but then again I am in my 20's. I know both a male and female RN who have large arm tattoos that can be seen at work. They have never said anything about...

    Hi, I'm just checking my lab book "laboratory tests and diagnostic proceedures" 3rd ed. and it says that, "if positive results are obtained, the anti-DNA test should be performed to aid...

  20. Stupid healthcare...add your own

    jaimealmostRN replied to canoehead's topic in General Nursing

    I know this sounds strange, but I saw some TV show that featured "induhviduals" who basically gave themselves labotomies in the name of "enlightenment." They'd puncture a small hole into their...

  21. Increase in minor complaints?

    jaimealmostRN replied to MrsWampthang's topic in Emergency

    I always thought it was so strange when a person came in with a cold, flu or one episode of diarrhea/vomiting. The only place I would want to be is in my bed unless I was in extreme (think...

  23. "How old are you?"

    jaimealmostRN replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    jaimealmostRN replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    "Yes, I made a mistake and it won't happen again" So did that nurse....you both made an error....which one was worse? My point was that you asked if you should report her....should someone report...

  25. Ethical question...what would you do?

    jaimealmostRN replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    My point is that I am sick of inexpirenced GNs or nursing students (I am a nursing student) bash expirenced RNs/LPNs. Let me give you an example of what I have heard from fellow students in the past...
