  1. Which penlight do you use? Incandescent or LED?

    RelloydRN posted a topic in General Nursing

  3. Identifying yourself as an RN when flying commercial

    RelloydRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    Do you keep your ANA membership active on both the state and national level? Also, for foreign nurses; do you keep both (ANA and home country) nursing association membership active? Im just curious on...

    RelloydRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Its actually my dream to go to Turkey one day but hopefully as a real tourist. Also I've met a lot of Indian physicians that are excellent. I think the best would be not to get sick, like a lot of...

    RelloydRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I once saw on TV that there's a lot of foreigners going to the Philippines for kidney transplants. Apparently they save like a couple of thousand dollars when they get it done there compared to the...

    RelloydRN replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

  11. Would you travel overseas for a medical procedure?!

    RelloydRN replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd go with the ones with Joint Commission Accreditation plus, the hospital that speaks my language! How horrible it is to be in a place where you have to guess what the hospital staff is talking...

  12. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    RelloydRN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm just curious if you guys ever get past a traffic violation like overspeeding when the police officer sees that you have an "RN On-Call" plate/sign on your car? I see a lot of these plates and I...

  13. RN degree overseas

    RelloydRN replied to Thank_You_RNs's topic in General Nursing

    Its way cheaper in the Philippines. But your credentials would have to go through verifications often. For example, you have to have CGFNS check your transcripts and Philippine licensure before you...

  14. New Grads, enough complaints about preceptors.

    RelloydRN replied to Katie5's topic in First Year After Licensure

    One thing I learned from my mentor is that there are no bad or good teachers. Why? Because if you disagree with either of them, you just have to be the opposite of what they are. If you think one...

  15. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    RelloydRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    lol i've always written Name, RN, BSN and never knew the correct way should be Name, BSN, RN Thank you for this info!

  16. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    RelloydRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with this. If they can do it, why then nurses

  17. RN on your facebook name?

    RelloydRN replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    I think you meant, "We are RNs" and not "just RNs"

  18. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    RelloydRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I do learn a lot from this website, really.

  19. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    RelloydRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    What's GED? Sorry if I'm a bit naive here. Anyway, I think if you keep adding credentials to your badge, you'd also accumulate a lot of ID badges as the old ones need to be replaced with the newly...

  20. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    RelloydRN replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    Can you be turned in for not stopping? And how would they know its you? What if your husband (non-RN) was the one driving the

  21. RN On-call car plates/sign on cars

    RelloydRN replied to RelloydRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not implying that those signs are supposed to "allow" speeding or any traffic violation, but I am inquiring if some traffic officer would have a "let-go" on you if they see that "RN On-call" sign....

  22. RN on your facebook name?

    RelloydRN replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    You are not required by Facebook to put in your title, so why the effort to place it there? I see this is common for newly minted RN's but I think its too revealing of your identity. Also, I notice...

  23. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    RelloydRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree with this. It just indicates that you went to school longer. Besides, if the rule is to put all your academic degrees after your name, I wonder if it is acceptable to have the...

  24. Is putting 'BSN' on badge snobbish?

    RelloydRN replied to funmom's topic in General Nursing

    I think the BSN in the name is just a matter of: 1. Mandatory per policy/state law 2. Voluntary and by choice of the individual It's either of the two. So, being snobbish is really out of the...
