  1. Glad they are flooding the market with New Grads...

    ejm99 replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a nursing student, LVN student that plans to transition to an RN after I get certified. I hear these same complaints from the Nurses we work with in Clinicals often. Unfortunately hospitals are...

  2. Commuting.....Need advice!!!

    ejm99 replied to DIVA-RNMOM24's topic in General Nursing

    No way. Not for me at least. I HATE traffic. I'm in LVN school and wouldn't even apply to the other locations of my school because I knew the commuting would be a dealbreaker for me. I took a...

    ejm99 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not a nurse but do have a yr of nursing school under my belt. My brother and his wife recently had a baby...both parents are deaf due to childhood illness (so that wasn't a concern w/ the baby)....

    ejm99 replied to perfectbluebuildings's topic in Texas Nursing

    I did my peds rotation for HCC"s ADN program there...and the nurses were GREAT...even the dr's were great..but there is from my experience a definite chain of command thing in place.....we were not...

  5. Anyone in Houston?

    ejm99 replied to Honeybee's topic in Texas Nursing

    I went thru a year of the ADN program at HCC. I left due to a serious family illness but w/ good standing and a solid "B" gpa. I left because they are very much a cliquish and politic's type...

  8. Woman refuses CS, charged with murder

    ejm99 replied to crankyasanoldma's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is EXACTLY what I thought...but not only about the prosecutor but also about the MEDIA in general. How often do you turn on the news and hear a story then flip channels and hear the same story...

  9. Would you assist in abortions?

    ejm99 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I just saw on the news about 3-4 days ago that there is talk about making the "morning after pill" available OTC! I'm not so sure that's a good thing to do..... I as I said am pro choice and have had...

  10. Would you assist in abortions?

    ejm99 replied to Blackcat99's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm in agreement w/ elkpark. but playing devil's advocate....it's not a well known fact but Roe from Roe v. Wade, the PIVOTAL case that made history and abortion legal for women has crossed sides and...

    ejm99 replied to devin's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  12. have you ever "written up" yourself in an incident report?

    ejm99 replied to l.rae's topic in General Nursing

  13. volunteer your license= re-take boards

    ejm99 replied to devin's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    hmmm... how do I feel about this... well I agree...the "ole boy" network of doctors more often then not sheild their own from scrutiny and possible consequences of their actions... but it doens't...

  14. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    ejm99 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's about the norm from what I hear...$200 per child for night care.. but if you have more than one kid....your SOL unless your pretty well off and in that situation I think I'd RATHER have...

  15. Hippa violation?

    ejm99 replied to BernieO's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    You can bet that your business is now being aired all over the city as well. I think that you did the correct thing by asking her flat out about HIPPA.... and her response indicates that she doesn't...

  16. Well excuse my ignorance...

    ejm99 replied to sharann's topic in General Nursing

    I think specialized nurses sometimes forget that they were once not so specialized. Seasoned nurses too. I was treated pretty well by the Nurses on all my rotations while in clinical...all were very...

  18. child care problems

    ejm99 replied to marshalbc77's topic in General Nursing

    I agree w/ this as well....it comes down to the fact that it's up to the provider to make her decision on this. I've done both...paid and unpaid holidays...dependant on the parents work benefits...if...

  19. How well do you think that "twenty four hour" childcare centers would do if they...

    ejm99 replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I think because Vegas is a 24 hours city....you can pretty much do anything you'd normally do during the day at night.... the 24 hour daycare is more accessible. If Houston suddenly decided that...

  23. Marijuana and Breast Feeding ????

    ejm99 replied to Lela RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a no brainer. Your mandated to report so you must. It doesn't matter that it's a family member or not....it's your job and part of your licensure so do it..even if it's from a pay...
