  1. terminated-though I was "allowed" to resign

    MaryEMT replied to Goldenhare's topic in General Nursing

    I am so sorry this sounds horrible. I am not even licensed yet so I can't offer any professional advice except to say it sure sounds like you are better off without them (at least long term). It sucks...

  2. Drunk in Public supposed RN

    MaryEMT replied to MedicLifelineRN's topic in General Nursing

    Regardless of what the rules are for Doctor's it is wrong. It is wrong to turn a blind eye on any health professional doing something unprofessional. I'm no perfect angel but if you are intoxicated to...

  3. How can I tell if they're trauma shears?

    MaryEMT replied to Schweet's topic in Emergency

    They are usually kind of angled a bit at the

  4. And if we catch you smoking you'll be charge $25

    MaryEMT replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly this may sound harsh, but I think its a great policy! I work at a drug rehab facility and had to take two of our teen clients to the ER. There were hospital employees giving them cigarettes...

  5. The Shortage Myth in Politics

    MaryEMT replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Nursing

    No matter the reality of the nursing shortage vs. Nurse hiring how will expanding nursing programs help? Yes, eventually that might be necessary but what really needs to happen is increased funding...

  6. LOL What Client Said

    MaryEMT posted a topic in Addictions

    So I work in a drug rehab facility for teens. The LPN walked over to the girls unit to put a urine sample in the fridge. A client saw that it was clearly a urine sample and exclaimed "O my God, they...

  7. Microbiology and Anatomy and Physiology II online?

    MaryEMT replied to kammel's topic in General Students

    I took some developmental psych and nutrition through Rio Salado and loved it. In fact I took the accelerated version of each so I could work on them one at a time but still finish both within a...

  8. Interview wear - summer version?

    MaryEMT replied to lei7's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Just for added input I was always told that a skirt for a women is actually preferable. When my female friends were interviewing for Pa/med school/vet school, they all wore skirts. Obviously a little...

  9. Adoption

    MaryEMT replied to Gabby_101's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I too am an adoptee, and I think this is a very couregeous decision for you to make. It is truly a selfless act of love. I wish you luck and prayers as you move forward with the pregnancy and the...

  10. 1460 on GRE and not accepted?

    MaryEMT replied to sandmanwife's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    My best guess would be that they denied him due to the missing information. If you can explain that he indeed has whatever the missing information was and that the rejection letter and what your were...

  11. Could use some advice here

    MaryEMT replied to joemomma35's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My GPA was only a 3.1 as well. However I did retake my A&P I&II courses and got A's instead of C's (this was not factored into my undergrad GPA but it sure did make my preq GPA much higher)....

    MaryEMT replied to StangGang92's topic in General Nursing

    The other thing to keep in mind is you may have more flexibility than some others. I don't know your specific situation but as a younger person just starting out you might be able to move to another...

  14. Transporting Pt. on O2

    MaryEMT replied to bonestAx's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well I have never really transported within a hospital but we always strap the oxygen to the strechter, usually between the patients legs, sometimes wrapped with extra sheets for pt. comfort (with the...

  15. How do I go back into nursing when I haven't been practicing for awhile??

    MaryEMT replied to renee1126's topic in General Nursing

    I may be wrong but I thought nurses were internationally recognized? Maybe you could work as a nurse or at least check out volunteer oppurtunties. It may be hard to get a job when you get back but the...

  18. Very Concerned (please read)

    MaryEMT replied to CuriousGreorge7's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sorry I have to agree with some of the other posters Pot didn't become illegal overnight. While nursing does test more, almost every job in the universe drug tests its employees at least once in...

  19. Public Health and birth control

    MaryEMT replied to Beebop25's topic in General Nursing

    Forgive me I stand corrected, the policy I had been using was specific to where I work. And I happen to work with a population of mostly under 17 yr. old

  20. Need help to decide on new job

    MaryEMT replied to windowxp's topic in General Nursing

    Tough one, because you don't know what can happen even if your positive you'd want to stay with the company. Any way to get the contract amended to at least make exception for personal injury, illness...

  23. Why do nurses eat their young?

    MaryEMT replied to mindyt289's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Can't enlighten you but I felt similiar frustration when I first became an EMT. I was at a company training and one of the paramedics made fun of the way I had stabilized an arm (I did it exactly as I...

  24. Sharing Personal Information at Work

    MaryEMT replied to Urban_Durga's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an RN yet but I have never faced this kind of questioning in any working environment--at least not in the begining. Conversations happen naturally and things about your maritial status, kids...

    MaryEMT replied to Crystal112's topic in General Nursing

    CHdad, the mental strength is soo true!! I started regularly jogging/working out in the mornings before work (and I am not by any means a morning person). I found that when I go to bed preparing...
