  2. Getting out just in time!

    That's not a guarantee. I had a student come in complaining of ear pain. No fever. Tympanic membrane looked fine. Sent student back. Called Mom just to inform and she decided to pick up student. Turns...
  3. Peanut allergy issue

    My kid has a dairy allergy. I don't think requesting a dairy free elementary school would go over very well at all!
  4. Hello. I am having some martial problems and my hubby is finally willing to see a counselor, but he has insisted that we see a psychiatrist "in case someone needs medication". Ok, whatever. Currently,...

  6. I was taught in school that 26 weeks is viability. Is that viability in the real world? I know everyone wants full term, but if you or your wife was expecting, at what point in gestation would you...

  9. Hello everyone. I would like some advice please. I am aware of the current new grad job market so I realize my question is potentially purely hypothetical. However, I am a strong candidate among my...
  10. How to get into MS from Psych? Killer Resume?

    I hope you have found something by now, but honestly, in my opinion the resume is mostly a formality. Getting a job is more about who you know than what you know. Yes, I am fairly new to nursing, but...

    Wow, this is SO
  12. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    Thanks for all the advice. And even though I truly, deep down didn't think it would happen to me for a handful of reasons, the new grad market claimed me too. I had big dreams, but my eyes are wide...
  13. Expiration date on RN license

    It has to do with your birthday month, I believe. The same thing happened with me & a
  14. Ordering used text books on Amazon??

    I have done it. I usually bought a previous one and saved a ton. Mental health book was only $5! I did, however, buy the current edition of the Med/Surg book. I thought that was worth the investment....

    Paid in March. Graduated 5/3. ATT 5/7. NCLEX this
  16. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    Unfortunately, this is the Children's hospital. They don't hire new grads in PICU. My family situation (and the housing market debacle ) will not permit me to relocate. I have to position myself using...
  17. Best training ground for PICU wannabe

    LOL... yes. I was posting with three hours of sleep over two days. I meant for the poll to say "Peds" or NICU and I couldn't get back to the poll to fix it and also couldn't figure out how to delete...
  18. Single Volume or 2-Volume Textbook?

    I enjoyed having to separate volumes. Our class was structured well and the exams were clustered into one volume or the other. I say go for
  19. Do you work at Hilton?

    I had a patient ask me for some take out menus. I'm just a student, she was on a regular diet, and she said it like it was a well known fact so I asked the primary nurse where I could find them. A...
  20. 1st post and 5th week of nursing school. HELP!

    I think you've gotten lots of great responses. I just wanted to second that the Ackley nursing diagnosis handbook is one of the best ones out there. I love it.... well, as much as you can love a care...
  21. Discrimination Against Ethnic/Minority Names

    :w00t: Ha, ha, ha Misstgo keep it 100! I was very intentional in choosing my son's name. No mid-name apostrophes, no random capital letters, and nothing ending in 'quon' for goodness sakes! As much as...
  22. One set of scrubs?

    I think one is fine. My school recommended two because we wear them twice a week back to back. But, honestly, I still could have gotten away with one since I wash my uniform immediately upon arriving...
  23. How do you store your stethoscope?

    I keep my stethoscope in my clinical bag beside my computer desk. However, mine is neither pricey nor sentimental. But it is a pretty color.:) If you do decide to keep it out (or even if you don't),...
  24. LPN Needs Work Now!!PLEASE HELP!

    Hopefully you have found something by now, but my suggestion is to physically go to some nearby nursing homes. It will cost you some money in gas, but if it pays off it will be worth it. Even though...
  25. Mercy School of Nursing...Evening program

    I took my TEAS there and before the test they said that the TEAS was a decent portion of your score (Nice! No pressure there, right? ) They were honest and said if you didn't get at least X on each...
