  1. Computer Charting

    fotografe posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I was told there is no computer charting system available that is adequate for long term care facilities. My husband is an applications developer, and is interested in creating one. Can anyone tell...

  2. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    fotografe replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would be appropriate to chart what the patient said as it would alert the next caregiver as to how she referred to her

  3. Art Career to Nursing Career

    fotografe replied to splunking's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in my first semester now. My first clinical evaluation said that I show creative problem solving -- something rarely found in new nursing students. I owe that to my ability to visualize what I...

  4. Not so wise wisdom teeth

    fotografe replied to funinsun's topic in General Nursing

    Go to the nearest dental school. They will take them out at a realtively low cost. I had mine out about 15 years ago at the UNiversity of Illinois Dental school and it cost me then $27 per tooth --...

  5. Physician or Physician Assistant HELP PLEASE !

    fotografe replied to MiamiHurricanesLuvr5's topic in General Nursing

    try

  6. Direct-entry MSN programs

    fotografe replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hello All you fast trackers Funny, I am in an ADN program and I feel overwhelmed as well. I think the volume of material an RN is expected to absorb is just huge no matter if you are doing it in 12...

  7. Curry College Accel

    fotografe posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got an acceptance letter today to the Curry Accel BSN program to start January 2006. (I had to decline from 2005 and had to re-apply) Anyone else out there going to Curry

  8. Breaks in the ER

    fotografe replied to chellet98's topic in Emergency

    I hope you are getting paid for your "break". These stories make me glad I belong to a union. When I graduate and am looking for my first nursing job, I will actively seek out a union

  9. Direct-entry MSN programs

    fotografe replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Jess I use a nanny too, although she does not live with us. There are things about her that I would not choose, like her piercings and tatoos, but, she is so good with my kids that it is not...

  10. Nasty situation - need advice

    fotografe replied to Repat's topic in Nursing Career

    You have to remember that the decision to give her the job was not hers, it was the management. I say never burn any bridges -- while you may have not gotten this position, for any number of reasons,...

  11. Bush Administration Proposes Cut in Veteran Benefits

    fotografe replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I recently did a story on the injuries sustained by today's soldiers. They are more devastating, in general, than those received by previous vets. Because of the types of weapons being used -- ie...

  12. PLEASE HELP-RN to BSN to CRNA?

    fotografe replied to Paula7's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I have to disagree about the ADN route. It may make perfect sense to take this as an initial path to APN, including CRNA, depending on your personal situation. I applied to and was accepted to a...

  13. back pain

    fotografe replied to nursemelly's topic in Holistic

    www.wholehealthmd.com has detailed info. Basically they are all herbs with antinflammatory

  14. Failed because of the HESI? Huh?

    fotografe replied to jeepgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I think basing everything on one test is a cop out. "Remediation" should not be necessary in a program that is supposed to be educating you with new information anyway. The University is supposed to...

  15. Cell phones??

    fotografe replied to JustMe's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    The only interference I have had first hand experience with is with hard wired intercom systems. I was told by the engineer that cell phones periodically send out a homing signal to let the service...

  16. Give me the edge & GRE help

    fotografe replied to ivypetals's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I bought the Princeton Review book, which has a cd and access to the website for a programmed review. I found the test questions online to be very close to what I had on the actual test. The methods...

  17. MSNBC/Connected and Arnold's Affair??????

    fotografe replied to barefootlady's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I'm with you. It's between Maria and Arnold. No one

  18. A lot

    fotografe replied to nursingyoursoul's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    HA HA HA You have one of my pet peeve grammar errors in your post. :chuckle Look here: http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~brians/errors/use.html But do understand the inability to spell has nothing to do with...

  19. Direct-entry MSN programs

    fotografe replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Although I am not positive where I will end up, I do know they use South Shore Hospital, Brockton Hospital and Mt. Sinai. I hope most of my assignments end up at SSH. I plan on working as a PCT in a...

  20. Direct-entry MSN programs

    fotografe replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Yes I am in MA on the SOuthshore. I agree with your point about open admission. I was accepted to other programs, and it really came down to cost to obtain the RN. WHile I aspire to APN, I am not...

  21. Sorry another question about PDAs

    fotografe replied to Sugarbelle's topic in Nursing Career

    1.5 gigabytes? If so, yes that is a lot and will serve you for a long time. Make sure it has nonvolatile memory so that if your battery dies, you don't lose

  22. Direct-entry MSN programs

    fotografe replied to elizabells's topic in Post Graduate Students

  23. Patients who steal from the ER

    fotografe replied to mdslabod's topic in Emergency

    It says it on the walls when you walk into the hospitals in

  24. What shoes are best for heel pain?

    fotografe replied to ZZTopRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sounds like it might be plantar fasciitis. Get a good arch support to see if that helps. I just bought Lynco inserts at the Walking Store. They cost about $60 but man my feet feel so much better....

  25. 2 yr wait list-what to do until then? Suggestions?

    fotografe replied to Goodyear's topic in Nursing Career

    I would get a job in a hospital to get experience. You could work as a unit clerk, or take a course to become a CNA/PCT or Phlebotomist. You could also be a patient sitter. Getting in the door and...
