  1. Low Census - Is it Happening to You

    mochamonster replied to Miranda50's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Trenia, you are comparing apples to oranges. Onaclearday said that 46% of the population (including elderly, children and disabled folks) are employed. You are quoting how much of the workforce is...

  2. Patient Sitter - Is 15 $ an hour good?

    mochamonster replied to student456's topic in International Nursing

    Actually, $15 Canadian is about $15.57 or so in US

  3. How old were you when you finished nursing school?

    mochamonster replied to pgray1229's topic in General Nursing

    30, with my BSN (last month, just passed NCLEX last week). I had a previous bachelor's degree in another field, then had two kids, then went to nursing school. I agree with the above poster saying...

  4. University provided personal student info to TCN

    mochamonster replied to LadyinScrubs's topic in Online Distance Learning

    My school (which is not your school) informs us a the the beginning of each year that we have to sign something to keep our information private. So the default is that anyone could call up to the...

  5. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    mochamonster replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what anurseatlast said about keeping the main books in your car. I do the same thing. If your first day is NS100, you will definitely need Harkreader and Perry & Potter. Those are...

  6. What does your username mean?

    mochamonster replied to LifesAJourney's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm addicted to decaf cafe mochas. I have to have at least one every day. It is frustrating, but at least I don't smoke cigarettes anymore and that's how I justify it. I've basically subsituted...

  7. What's the deal with friend requests here?

    mochamonster replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    It's my understanding that if you reject them it doesn't send them a message or anything. So in that respect it is like "ignore". I may however be

  8. High contact sports and nursing?

    mochamonster posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I was wondering what you all thought about the legal and/or ethical issues that may arise by being a part of a high contact sport when you are a nurse. If there is a high likelyhood that...

  9. High contact sports and nursing?

    mochamonster replied to mochamonster's topic in General Nursing

    My concern does not lie with work or getting hurt myself. My concern was in hurting someone else or being held liable is some way by participating in the sport. I am not too worried about getting...

  10. High contact sports and nursing?

    mochamonster replied to mochamonster's topic in General Nursing

    Your responses are reassuring. I guess I am concerned since the sport I am considering is so unconventional, girls roller derby. My husband is an MMA fighter (not a nurse), but I have heard of...

  11. What's the deal with friend requests here?

    mochamonster replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, I have a hard enough time making friends in real life! This is simply too much

  12. MAR error - pt sent to hospital

    mochamonster replied to hpcat's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    This is what I was thinking too, until the OP mentioned the dc'd

  13. Lessons learned from a fatal medication error:-- reflections for CRNA epidural order

    mochamonster replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I know this comment is really late, but from what I understand, they weren't aware of the med error when they were trying to resuscitate her. It wasn't until afterwards that they realized what had...

  14. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    mochamonster replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    I saw earlier that someone said 8-7. That hasn't been what I've experienced. Sometimes clinical starts as early as 6:30, sometimes it goes as late as 10 pm. Not in the same day of course. Not even...

  15. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    mochamonster replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    I am impressed with the program. One concern I had before starting an accelerated program was that they would cut corners trying to squish everything in. I want to be a good nurse, not just get a...

  16. Nebraska Methodist College Accelerated Program

    mochamonster replied to C6H12O6's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently in the ACE program. FYI, the financial aid dept. just had their director retire and a new one start, so perhaps that is why there is a delay in the awards letter. They usually get...

  17. keep running away from jobs!

    mochamonster replied to pn5437's topic in General Nursing

    I'd say you haven't really given yourself a chance to really learn the job. It takes at least 6 months before you become comfortable in a position (just locating items even), many times even longer....

  18. Which states are CNMs permitted to do homebirths?

    mochamonster replied to moonredlife's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know in Texas they can attend home

  19. Adoptive mom brings in pumped breastmilk to feed baby: what are your thoughts?

    mochamonster replied to redbeads's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not trying to hijack this thread, but when I had my daughter I declined the HIV test because I had it with my son and was confident I didn't need another one. The doc didn't bat an eye. It must...

  20. Adoptive mom brings in pumped breastmilk to feed baby: what are your thoughts?

    mochamonster replied to redbeads's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Wow, I find that surprising. You learn something new

  21. Adoptive mom brings in pumped breastmilk to feed baby: what are your thoughts?

    mochamonster replied to redbeads's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I swear, Americans are so uptight about breastfeeding and breastmilk. This was clearly a parenting issue and not a medical issue. Women are not required to take HIV tests when they are pregnant, they...

  22. Are you/have you self-diagnosed while in school?

    mochamonster posted a topic in General Students

    So I was doing my class prep about headaches for my nursing class today when I was struck with the realization that my history of "abnormal migraines" is actually cluster headaches! I was so excited...

  23. Student Loan Repayment for Nursing

    mochamonster replied to EMEddie's topic in General Nursing

    The deadline on this one has already passed for the year, but perhaps you may find it useful for next year. http://www.hrsa.gov/loanscholarships/repayment/nursing/ It only applies to loans related...

  24. Are you/have you self-diagnosed while in school?

    mochamonster replied to mochamonster's topic in General Students

    LMAO! Thanks for

  25. Are you/have you self-diagnosed while in school?

    mochamonster replied to mochamonster's topic in General Students

    I agree that this "phenomenon" is humorous. That's why I posted it on AN! I would love to hear more stories about this, humorous or
