  1. ACLS instructors

    shah replied to KevinS's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    Guys does this work like an MLM, that is, the TC keeps half of what you

  2. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    shah replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    I bet that micro teacher was not a nurse herself. Maybe her husband beat her the night before. Just learn to take it in the stride. You should know yourself

  3. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    shah replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    You all student interns could get together and rent a place with sleeping room only. Get food stamps. Do

  4. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    shah replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Well $23 is not such a great wage either. I would talk to the hiring personnel, what if half way or so during the program you or they thought ICU was not for you, would they hire you for another...

  5. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    shah replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Now, though I totally recommend anyone to jump on this opportunity, I still hope it does not become a trend. What will happen, after it becomes a trend is that lesser hospitals with no or very little...

  6. At a Loss to help Students That Won't Help Themselves, and I'm Going to Lose My Job

    shah replied to clinicalteach's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I would say cut your losses, save your license and quit while you can. A bonafide nursing program would have consequences for student absences, lack of preparation, etc. Obviously, there is no...

  7. I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    shah replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    I agree. Suspension was stupid and counterproductive. She needed more practice, not

  8. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    shah replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    The bottom line is, you are being offered one of the best opportunities not in the US, but the whole darned world. There is more to value than money. Walk away from it and you would have lost the...

  9. I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    shah replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    It is OK to have as many rails up while you are working with the patient, even 4. Restraint is counted when you leave the bedside. That is when you cannot have 4 rails up in most states, the bed...

  10. I almost got kicked out of my program from ONE mistake!

    shah replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Students

    It was your nursing instructor's fault to begin with. She should not have taken the medicine out so much in advance and to have given it to someone else. That said, it was your fault not following...

  11. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    shah replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Go for MGH. If nothing, it will add to your resume. You could always go back to working for crappy agencies, but it is not the other way. Remember, internships are once in a lifetime. If you miss the...

  12. MGH is offering new grad ICU internship for $11.44 an hour?

    shah replied to DisneybearRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I would jump at that opportunity. It is true that they are balatantly taking advantage of you. It is true that you will be extremely marketable after the 6 months. Just jump ship if they don't offer...

  13. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    shah replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    I did not go to mine for all of the above reasons and the added unjustified expense. I thought I would just be paying for another headache and for the benefit of someone else oohing and aahing. I am...

  14. Infant CPR while holding the baby on your arm...What?

    shah replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    This is a out of hospital technique we teach. Stopping compressions on a baby, even to call 911, or while transferring a baby from home to ambulance would be fatal. Remember, those twinkies' hearts...

  15. Where do you put your stethoscope?

    shah replied to newbiepnp's topic in General Students

    No it is not unprofessional and yes it might be a hazard to your health/safety to wear it around your neck. I wear it around my neck all the time as that is the most convenient site. However, you need...

  16. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    shah replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I would never ever make the hijab an issue in the interview. When you bring it up in an interview, you are saying it is an issue (while it should be a normal thing people need to get over). I would...

  17. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    shah replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    I never had any problems wearing a hijab in Houston. I usually wear a warmer jacket on top of my scrubs and a short one piece or two piece tucked under the jacket. I asked Imam Yaser Kadhi and he said...

  18. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    shah replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Well good luck! May Allah give you what is best for you.

  19. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    shah replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering what would be the consequences if some nurse taking care of a patient with MRSA or C-diff carried the bug with him/her to the toaster and it was transferred on to the toast. An...

  20. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    shah replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I once worked in a rehab where the doctor wrote orders like, mix medications with ice cream shake. You could not believe it. The ice cream shakes were though made by dietary, we only had to go to the...

  21. Any Muslim Nurses/Student Nurses in Allnurses?

    shah replied to Florence NightinFAIL's topic in General Nursing

    Assalamu alaikum, Sister UmIbrahim, mashallah your aspirations are commendable, however, I thought it necessary to warn you that if you are planning to get a masters degree in the future, a diploma...

  22. *Vent* RN's make toast?!?!?!

    shah replied to WickedRedRN's topic in General Nursing

    I am guessing hanging TPN is a skill you could get checked off on. Making toast is not. So I don't care if my nurse burns toast every time. All I want her to do is hang a good TPN. Let dietary do the...

  23. Is this cheating?

    shah replied to BluegrassRN's topic in General Students

    Believe me, you are running the code in the ER, they way you are running it, because someone took the time to perfect their 'fluff', so they could carry out painstaking research and 'write...

  24. New RN, New to Houston, and No Job

    shah replied to Liss RN's topic in Texas Nursing

    For anyone looking for a job, Cornerstone, Triumph and Kindred are hiring in SE Houston. FYI, Nurse Managers don't care what kind of degrees you have outside of Nursing. In the suburban hospitals...

  25. Current Post-Grads: How many credit hours could you take while working full time?

    shah replied to Samian Q's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I am still with the didactic part and take only one course or 3-4 credit hours per semester. Even that is difficult as I teach and have to prepare for class too. To those who are into preceptorship,...
