    justashooter replied to johnson_katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    justashooter replied to bluelion's topic in Men in Nursing

    you're in our 40's? learning new skills? think about how that works for a minute. new synaptic connections need to be created. this takes longer, requiring more repetitions as we age. a man in his...

  10. Is it sexist....

    justashooter replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Men in Nursing

    this is one of the big double standards in nursing. lots of female nurses cannot pass a 50 pound test, much less a 150 pound test. lots of female nurses continue to work late in pregnancy, unable to...

    justashooter replied to gohjhdr's topic in International Nursing

  15. I have tired to become a nurse in the US for last 6 years. Now I'm lost.

    justashooter replied to gohjhdr's topic in International Nursing

    that's funny. most cases i have heard of used H1-b for nursing, rather than EB-3. trouble is, the degree equivalent the person has is not the deciding factor. whether the position requires the degree...

  16. I have tired to become a nurse in the US for last 6 years. Now I'm lost.

    justashooter replied to gohjhdr's topic in International Nursing

    justashooter replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Emergency

    that's the beauty of the internet. you never know exactly who you are talking to at any given moment unless they tell you, and even then it's not a certainty. some of us do frequent police forums....

  20. Can paramedic or EMT administer an IM med like Haldol or Ativan to help unruly pt?

    justashooter replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Emergency

    justashooter replied to ~Transplant Nurse~'s topic in Emergency
