  1. Group One background checks in Texas

    mtnmom replied to edgreen's topic in Texas Nursing

    what about the ANA or your state nurses' association...better yet, what about your elected officials...surely all cannot turn a blind eye to what you people are going through in Texas. I am so sorry...

  2. How long did you study for the GRE?

    mtnmom replied to christvs's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I checked out a prep guide from the public library and spent about 3 days reviewing the math. There was a lot of geometry-related stuff that came back to me when I reviewed the guide but without that...

  3. Is this normal for agency? (long)

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in Agency Nurses

    Thanks for the replies and the suggestions. I am still puzzled about being sent home halfway through the shift yesterday -there were no problems with my performance or anything like that. I think that...

  4. your input please...

    mtnmom posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    hello all...I am new to this forum but not to allnurses. First a little about me -I have been a nurse for 5 years, variety of settings, currently enrolled in an FNP program part-time to finish in...

  5. This article insults nursing as a lower skilled job

    mtnmom replied to Cheyenne RN,BSHS's topic in General Nursing

    Registered nurse, $48,090 ??? not for a beginning nurse! at least not in my part of the world! not even for this RN with 5 yrs under the belt - unless I did a load of

  6. I need help

    mtnmom replied to care_bear_lisa's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Lisa, I am an RN, not an LPN, so I can't tell you about how the LPN exam is. I know that the RN boards (NCLEX) are tough - and nursing school is tough, either RN or LPN, but with determination it can...

  7. Blow out at the desk, who was at fault? both share blame I think?

    mtnmom replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    While I agree that the new nurse's reaction as far what she told all her colleagues is disturbing and needs to be addressed, what concerns me is the factors leading up to and contributing to this...

  8. baptizing a patient???

    mtnmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    There is a companion thread in this forum about religion and nursing that made me think of this... have any of you ever heard of anyone baptizing a patient or know anyone that has??? I once worked...

  9. Sweet Dreams, Baby! Tell us about your strange dreams r/t nursing

    mtnmom replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I cannot immediately recall any of mine but I have had several bizarre dreams relating to nursing. I should make it a point to write dreams down soon after awakening because my dreams are often so...

  10. baptizing a patient???

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

    I do not think that an unbaptized baby would be denied entrance into heaven either. I definitely believe, though that Heaven has some sort of place for dogs, cats, and all the animals....and I am...

  11. baptizing a patient???

    mtnmom replied to mtnmom's topic in General Nursing

    hello, My original post was perhaps not very well worded. I absolutely did not mean that it was an either/or thing - that if a family was not Christian then the child needed to be baptized. I just...

  12. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    mtnmom replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Even within Christianity there is a lack of understanding of others' beliefs by some that can progress to intolerance in severe cases. For instance, I am a practicing Catholic in the Bible Belt...

  13. Religion Needed to be a Good Nurse?

    mtnmom replied to Kabin's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I could not have summed it up better myself. I have a little prayer that I try to say on the way to work each time. It varies a little but always includes " and God, please keep my hands strong and...

  14. I saw something new and scary

    mtnmom replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    I have not tried it firsthand but remember that when I was on a snorkeling expedition down in the Caribbean our guide ( a local) told us that urine is good for sea urchin poison. Someone else on the...

  15. I guess I'm a florist now too....

    mtnmom replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    :uhoh21: gee, I feel like the odd one out on this one. I actually enjoy maintaining my patients' flowers when I have time. If you are in a room doing some teaching, for instance, all you need to do is...

  16. How many work and go to school???

    mtnmom replied to johnson0424's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am in an FNP program part-time and work fulltime by necessity. I would love to do it differently (ie. go to school fulltime and finish more quickly) but my circumstances do not permit it. My biggest...

  17. If not a nurse...what????

    mtnmom replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

  19. Weird, Odd Nurses Behavior.....

    mtnmom replied to cre8tivRN's topic in General Nursing

    I barely have time to do what I have to do in a typical day without having time to incorporate any obsessive behavior. Only exception might be that I do rinse dishes before putting them in the...

  20. Is this new grad a nut or what? Opinions please !

    mtnmom replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    that there were some unconscious, hidden resentments against this girl when she came in because of her supposed privileged background and GPA??? No one mentions what school she went to...I would be...

  21. Should nurse practioners be allowed to write prescriptions?

    mtnmom replied to stephcollier's topic in General Nursing

    I think we might be the only state in the Union without prescriptive authority. What a distinction. NP's can practice and "prescribe" only under the auspices of a physician. the poster who referred to...

    mtnmom replied to CardioTrans's topic in Post Graduate Students

  25. night shift - sleep dilemma

    mtnmom posted a topic in General Nursing

    I know there are other threads dealing with how to get adjusted to night shift but I've not seen this question addressed before. My manager is (supposedly) trying to accomodate my one-day a week...
