  1. Minor's right to refuse

    HiHoCherry-O replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with BackFromRetirement. It seems as though more education needs to take place between the mother and the daughter, which may best be handled via the physician. There are advantages and...

    HiHoCherry-O replied to nursesharkbev's topic in Emergency

    Dthfytr addresses some good issues; remember, each ED is going to be different. I have worked in an ED where EKG's, x-rays and labs are ordered and done right there in triage. If a room is available,...

    HiHoCherry-O replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    Good topic! I'm so glad I am not the only one who feels this way! As others have mentioned, I try to leave work at work. I do not want to come home and be a nurse to my family, friends, neighbors...

    HiHoCherry-O replied to NYC29's topic in General Nursing

    HiHoCherry-O replied to smesi001's topic in General Nursing

    Just to let you know right up front, I am not a school nurse, but I have looked at some of the job postings in my state when listed on the city/county websites. In my state, anyone who wants to work...

  8. Career Change: Auditor to RN - Education Advice

    It sounds like you have given this a lot of thought and have a good plan in place. You should check if any of your courses from your first degree are transferable. Also, there are schools that offer...

  9. i dont wanna be a nurse

    HiHoCherry-O replied to guest01/18/17's topic in Nursing Career

    If you are contemplating taking your boards I would suggest Kaplan to help you study. It does not go over nursing material but focuses on how to read the questions and come to the best answer. It uses...

  10. Failed, I need some advice!

    HiHoCherry-O replied to kindofageek's topic in General Students

    Are you able to rematriculate with next semester's class? The college I went to allowed this. Two of my classmates had failing grades (one in clinicals and one in a course) and each one was able to...

  11. i dont wanna be a nurse

    HiHoCherry-O replied to guest01/18/17's topic in Nursing Career

  13. Anyone getting a master's degree in a different field than nursing?

    HiHoCherry-O replied to Lola77's topic in General Nursing

    I am currently working on my masters in business. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet (dreaming of starting my own business). I am narrowing my focus on informatics within the MBA electives. I...

    HiHoCherry-O replied to unlvguy's topic in General Nursing

    YES!!! Miss the chili! My husband and I pack as much chili (red and green) as we can every time we visit family. You can order it online from Hatch but last time I looked it was kind of pricey (its...

  16. Stevens vs. Overlake

    HiHoCherry-O replied to aura_of_laura's topic in Washington Nursing

    Bellevue is a younger, hip type atmosphere; close to many things. I have only worked in the Group Health Urgent Care (which is right next to Overlake Hospital) but it is a very nice campus. Edmonds is...
