  2. qualifications for chief nursing officer

    bookwormom posted a topic in Nurse Management

    Does anyone know if the federal gov or JCAHO has established educational or experience requirements for directors of nursing or chief nursing officers? Does the title make a difference? Does the type...

  3. Phoenix mired down in ashes......

    bookwormom replied to NE_WI's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there. It sounds like this facility isn't doing a very good job with new nurses. If you can find a hospital with a good orientation program, that's where I'd go. If it comes up, you may as...

  4. Is it professional??????????

    bookwormom replied to starbin's topic in General Nursing

    This seems to me more rude than unprofessional, unless they are discussing clinical info that you really have a need to know. In that case, of course they should communicate in the language understood...

  5. Schools without waiting lists

    bookwormom replied to P_RN's topic in General Students

    The Glenville State College/ West Virginia University Joint Nursing Program is still accepting applications and doesn't have a waiting list. Here is the link for info:...

  7. University of South Africa doctorate

    bookwormom replied to bookwormom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    My advisor (promoter) asked me if I was going to come to graduation, but it will be in the fall when I am teaching, and the plane fare is very expensive-- more than a year of tuition. I'd love to see...

  8. The Circumcision Discussion

    bookwormom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't have statistics on the prevalance of different Christian denominations in African countries, but I believe that the church in Africa, as in North America, can have an influence on health...

    bookwormom replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  10. Question... are we supposed to help? Good Samaritan.

    bookwormom replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand why someone might be reluctant to stop and help, especially at night or in an isolated area. It would be very easy for someone to stage an accident or act like they need...

  11. The Circumcision Discussion

    bookwormom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm not quite sure what post you are referring to about condom use, but I have read some discussion about whether an HIV+ husband would be encouraged to use condoms when he is with his uninfected...

  12. The Circumcision Discussion

    bookwormom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This is perhaps a change of focus, but here is a quote from an article in the most recent issue of Africa Journal of Nursing and Midwifery. Kip, Ehlers and van der Wal summarize research on...

  13. Hesi Exit Test

    bookwormom replied to CSLee3's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    I also have a problem with outside testmakers dictating curriculum. Personally, I just can't see why the exit test is required for graduation in your school or other schools. I wonder what the...

  14. No pain meds for you, mother

    bookwormom replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know that some Seventh day Adventists want to avoid narcotics. It also seems to me a possiblity that the family may have had some traumatic experiences with an addicted member in the past-- even the...

  15. No pain meds for you, mother

    bookwormom replied to ZootRN's topic in General Nursing

    Could the use of narcotics be a religious

  16. Need help don't know what to do!

    bookwormom replied to magmae's topic in General Nursing

    I recommend that you apply to other RN schools in WV. They don't all necessarily have waiting lists. This is the time to apply. You might try the Glenville State College/WVU joint nursing program, if...

  17. What would you bring?

    bookwormom replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    1) a ceramic cup-- I don't like coffee out of a plastic cup. 2) some nice thick books 3) ear plugs 4) good music, cd player 5) funny dvds or videos 6) 'yes' to the pillows and nightgown 7) my drug...

  19. University of South Africa doctorate

    bookwormom replied to bookwormom's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I teach nursing in a small state college which is affiliated with a state university. I had thought about a doctorate for a long time, but was held back by the cost and the time commitment. (I have 4...

  20. The Circumcision Discussion

    bookwormom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think the question about routine infant circumcision in Africa is quite interesting. (BTW, I don't want to lump all African nations together; that would be like saying all European nations were...

  21. Bizarre behaviour and personality changes

    bookwormom replied to RedheadRN1958's topic in Psychiatric

    Ideally, you would share your concerns with this person, perhaps suggesting that her behaviors have concerned you, and that you are worried about her health. There is a possibility, too, of course,...

  22. anybody doing menopause consulting???

    bookwormom replied to ddt4u's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I have not done this, but I think there is definitely a market! Menopause brings changes that are so unexpected, I think many women would welcome a resource. I'm wondering if this would be covered by...

  23. The Circumcision Discussion

    bookwormom replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I will accept that circumcized males have lower incidences of HIV, for whatever reason. And I think in some African countries, circumcision of adult males is being promoted for that reason. Here are...

    bookwormom replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Don't forget that Glenville State College has a Joint BSN Program with WVU. The first two years are at GSC and the last two years at WVUIT. It has the same requirements and curriculum as WVU, but you...

  25. Diagnose Michael on The Office

    bookwormom posted a topic in Psychiatric

    I enjoy watching The Office, but sometimes Michael (the boss) makes me a little uncomfortable. He just seems so ill that it's not even funny. I'm thinking some kind of personality disorder. I'd be...
