  1. Nursing school sucks!

    utadahikaru posted a topic in General Students

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for solid advice on a simple topic. I'm in my 3rd year of nursing school, and all my teacher are total witches. The work load is unbearable as usual, but this semester its...

  2. Lifestyle Discrimination

    utadahikaru posted a topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Should lifestyle discrimination be legal ? With the rising cost of healthcare, companies are looking for ways to save money. Across the US, many companies, including hospitals, are refusing to hire...

  3. Training to look impressionable for ED?

    utadahikaru replied to guest744967's topic in Emergency

    It all sounds like over kill to me, but whatever... I have yet to know of an ER that doesn't need nurses. Sounds to me like you are trying to build up your resume to make it appear as if you have...

  4. Help! I start tomorrow!

    utadahikaru replied to zakry's topic in Emergency

    If everything goes as expected, about 2-3 months from now you will be making your next post, something like "help I don't know what to do!" Then about 6-8 months you'll start to feel like you can...

  5. BSN or CEN?

    utadahikaru replied to montecarlo64's topic in Emergency

    Don't go into debt. It's sooo not worth it. Save your 10k first, then decide if you want to spend it on a BSN or something

  7. Radiation danger, repeated CTs by frequent flyers

    utadahikaru replied to Emergent's topic in Emergency

    I read this quote from the Scientific American Journal, "a single CT scan subjects the human body to between 150 and 1,100 times the radiation of a conventional x-ray, or around a year's worth of...

  8. How long do you stay at a job you hate?

    utadahikaru replied to godbless-yute's topic in Emergency

    In my experience, every ER is different. It's very difficult to compare one to another strictly in terms of patient ratio because so many other factors come into play, such as what software is being...

  9. First Dive

    utadahikaru posted a topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    How can I get into Hyperbaric nursing? I've got 6 months nursing experience in the ER and I hate it I'm not a very speedy person, but I'm very thorough. So, Hyperbaric nursing sounds like a really...

  10. The best laid plans...

    utadahikaru posted a topic in Emergency

  11. A huge hurdle

    utadahikaru posted a topic in Nursing Informatics

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to get into informatics. Can someone tell me if I've got a snowball's chance in hell, or how much more exp/education I'll need to get my foot in the door. Currently: - I have...

  12. Help! I start tomorrow!

    utadahikaru replied to zakry's topic in Emergency

    Good Luck, hopefully your ER orientation will be at least 6 weeks, so don't freak

  13. Is anyone in the nursing program at Lamar University?

    utadahikaru replied to ninixtran92's topic in Texas Nursing

    I went through the Lamar BSN program and absolutely hated every minute of my time spent there. The faculty is composed of some real characters (think of that Netflix TV show "Orange is the new...

  14. Lets help each other out. Who is hiring New grads: RN or LVN

    utadahikaru replied to DixieGrace's topic in Texas Nursing

    If you want a new grad job, look in the cities with less than 100,000 people. Rural hospitals always hire new

  15. Corpus Christi Spohn interview

    utadahikaru replied to kerijak6's topic in Texas Nursing

    Uhmm I'm in Texas, and don't know much about Corpus Christi SPohn, but I can tell you that with 3-4 years experience, you can find lots of jobs in Texas. Corpus Christi isn't the best area, IMO, but...

  16. Lifestyle Discrimination

    utadahikaru replied to utadahikaru's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    While I think all of you make good points, the case I am making is simply this. Technology is being exploited to discriminate against the legal activities of citizens in their off work time. In this...

  17. New nurse feeling incompetent

    utadahikaru replied to Lola RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Lola if you ever believe anything, believe this. There is always time to look up a med before you give it. (unless you are pulling it out of the crash cart) Buy a tiny pharmacopia pocket book, keep...

  18. Does Preferring to Work Night Shift mean you're lazy?

    utadahikaru replied to Soliloquy's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Since when do they give a pay differential for being lazy? I don't think so. They pay night shift more money for a reason, and it isn't because they are

  21. IM injections

    utadahikaru replied to Hotnurse06's topic in General Nursing

    The first rule of medicine is that some people will cut corners where ever possible, don't be one of them. That is the very reason that we end up with issues like people having the wrong limb chopped...

  22. Who should make patient assignments??

    utadahikaru replied to D.R.A.'s topic in General Nursing

    Everywhere I've worked, pt assignments are usually handed out by the fattest, laziest, grouchiest nurse on the

  24. GN to NP in <1yr

    utadahikaru replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

    2 years experience seems a bit much to me, perhaps one year. Frankly, I think they should handle it the same as physicians fresh out off med school, meaning that they should have to work under...

  25. need advice/opinions on where to relocate!

    utadahikaru replied to hellosun's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in Texas, and just since 2014 there are obvious trends in available jobs. It's getting harder and harder to find something without experience of at least one year. I'd estimate 95% or more of...
