  1. Nursing after pre-med coursework?

    redessa replied to beastykato's topic in General Nursing

    You may be in for a rude awakening. Some of those courses like anatomy, physiology and chemistry are not more difficult than the nursing classes, they're pre-reqs for nursing. You may or may not have...

  2. Dialysis, HIV and terminal Pts. Abuse?

    redessa replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know, there's the post a few down about an end-stage aids patient placing himself on full-code status. I agree that I would not personally choose to be kept in a vegetative state or prolong...

  3. Dialysis, HIV and terminal Pts. Abuse?

    redessa replied to Scarlette Wings's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, okay, um, as a human being, I am offended by your attitude about this. I agree, in theory, that medical advancements have progressed to the point that we sometimes prolong life at the expense...

  4. New Grad Back Pain

    redessa replied to NiesyLuv's topic in General Nursing

    Doh! Those should say "they're." Where's the edit button when I need

  5. New Grad Back Pain

    redessa replied to NiesyLuv's topic in General Nursing

    I hear their pricey but maybe go to one of those places that analyzes your feet and builds custom orthotics. Or at least try a different pair of shoes since you seem to think that's contributing to...

  6. What do you call the Doc?

    redessa replied to Flipper911's topic in General Nursing

    I call people by whatever they address themselves to me. I guess I can see where if this Dr. called you by first name that you would do the same in return, but I certainly would not assume she uses...

  7. Question about perfume/cologne

    redessa replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, parfum, not parfume. "Parfume" is incorrect either way. I understand that I'm being nit picky and I'm okay with

  8. Question about perfume/cologne

    redessa replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    you don't have to put a comma before

  9. Question about perfume/cologne

    redessa replied to Despareux's topic in General Nursing

    "Parfume"? I hope that was a typo. It's not even phonetically correct. I have to wonder, what about allergies and asthma? Does your school not care about triggering those either? And if you're...

  10. Utah Career College?

    redessa replied to ~RN67~'s topic in General Nursing

    According to wikipedia: "Tuition is $410.00 per credit hour, with the exception of courses required in the nursing program, for which tuition is $540.00 per credit hour." I don't know how up to date...

  11. Help...med counseling

    redessa replied to napa's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    napa, I'm sorry but you need to start your own thread rather than asking a new question unrelated to the original post.

  12. I'm sure this has been said.. MA's calling themselves Nurses

  13. Breastfeeding support by HCPs

    redessa replied to mappers's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, in my own experience, I think the hospital nurses prevented me from getting a good start with my firstborn. She was having trouble latching so I was working with a lactation consultant. The...

  14. "I know, I know"

    redessa replied to Scrubby's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't jump in if you simply overhear her saying it. But if you are the one teaching her then I agree you need to be able to address it. If you can manage a gentle tone, you may try asking if...

  15. Will there be nursing jobs in San francisco in 2014 and after?

    redessa replied to Curiousgurl's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm, let me check my crystal ball. Seriously though, we can only hope things pick up in the next couple of years. Seems reasonable to think they will by 2014 but who

  16. How do you answer this interview question?

    redessa replied to Franjcamp's topic in General Nursing

    My best guess is that they're trying to see if you're willing to own up to your mistakes and how you deal with them. Did you show professionalism and maturity or did you over react or fall apart?...

  17. thank you letter?

    redessa replied to changedmind's topic in General Nursing

    It is considered unethical to accept gifts from patients. A note or treat for the whole unit would be more

  18. HIPAA

    redessa replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing a CNA course right now (prereq for nursing school) and on our list of acronyms it actually had HIPPA. I couldn't let it slide and spoke up about the

  19. facebook and HIPPA

    redessa replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    And it's one thing for a patient to post pics of their own injuries and whatnot on their own social media site. But not for a nurse to post someone else's stuff is a whole different

  20. What would you do, please advise!

    redessa replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like you've already decided you want to do the RN-BSN and be home with your kids a while

  21. Hope for New Grads in the Future

    redessa replied to kvisintine's topic in General Nursing

    My mom's been a nurse for over 30 yrs and my dad for close to 20. They've seen the job market's highs and lows many times over the years. The current economic climate is just plain bad for everyone...

  22. Everyone wears scrubs!

    redessa replied to calidonrnstudent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My son's 1st grade teacher wore scrubs to school last year. To TEACH in! She probably wore them once a week and every time I saw her I thought it was the oddest thing. Like some of you, I feel like...

  23. New adventure or Big Mistake? Need advice please

    redessa replied to Strontium's topic in General Nursing

    Are there no other nursing schools in your area? It might be worth it to even look into the private tech schools. They cost more but you might get done sooner - I'm currently having that dilemma...

  24. Is there anyone knows what are the signs for a pregnant women to come to the hospital

    redessa replied to mikhy's topic in General Nursing

    I got sent home from the hospital with my 1st when my contractions were still in the 10 min range. They told me to come back when they were 3-5 min apart. They never got that close together. I...

  25. Questions about DNP's

    redessa replied to 4-yroldmentality's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    In it for the money? HA! My mother is an FNP and she's not exactly rolling in money. And anyone intelligent and hard working enough to get through a DNP program could certainly make it in med...
