  1. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    One2gofst replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Just a note, not thinking like you does not equal "not thinking". There are many ways to protect against things. I will also note that I have not even addressed whether or not I am in favor of flu...

  2. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    One2gofst replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Respectfully, the hospital is not forcing you to do anything. They are making a voluntary action a condition of employment. Unless case law or legal precedent can be provided, I will stand by my...

  3. Nurse: 'I was fired for refusing flu shot'

    One2gofst replied to DesertRN2's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Okay, so we have a number of posters stating it is their right not to get a flu shot if they do not want to. I agree with this. However, is it not also the hospital's right to require flu shots as a...

  4. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    One2gofst replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a helpful hint that has always worked for me in such situations is to point out whatever you may think is a weakness and discuss how you have implemented steps to remedy it. For example rather...

  5. 25 Craziest Interview Questions of 2010

    One2gofst replied to SweetBabyLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't necessarily think those questions are dumb. The first was looking for your ability to plan something and implement it successfully, in your own opinion. The second doesn't talk about your...

  8. If we had a conservative nurses forum

    One2gofst replied to FLmomof5's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Libertarian

  9. How do you deal with.....

    One2gofst replied to cory'swife89's topic in Emergency

    You need a level of maturity to seperate your feelings toward a person from your responsibility to provide appropriate care. Only you can judge if you can do it. It's one of those things, you don't...

  10. Vocational nurse training cost???

    One2gofst replied to Ikram29's topic in California Nursing

    IMO, that is too high a price. I am starting my 12-month ABSN program and the program you mention costs a bit more than mine. Good

  11. Personality test determines my employment

    One2gofst replied to noyesno's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My opinion is that it is best to answer the questions honestly. It's not that I have compunctions about gaming the test, but rather if I were to "fail". If I were not hired due to the test and I gave...

  12. having a boyfriend vs. nursing studies

    One2gofst replied to TamTam23's topic in General Nursing

    The amount of projection in this thread is staggering. I'm not going to touch on the gender issues, though I have strong opinions on them. I will give a piece of practical advice totally free of...

  13. Took the NCLEX-PN yesterday...It was awful!!

    One2gofst replied to avidhunter3's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I have never taken the NCLEX, as I am in nursing school right now. I did, however, take the NREMT-B test, which is also a CAT proctored by PearsonVue. I thought I did horribly and mine shut off at the...

  14. Emergency Room Rotation - HELP!

    One2gofst replied to guest_57352's topic in General Nursing

    As an EMT-B myself, when someone says EMT, without anything else, EMT-B is understood. It is national scope of practice that EMT-Bs do not start IVs. Sorry I ruffled so many

  15. Emergency Room Rotation - HELP!

    One2gofst replied to guest_57352's topic in General Nursing

    EMTS CAN NOT RUN AN IV!!! Starting one could be a good way to stop your career in healthcare right there. That said, I got to do CPR on a patient when I was doing my ER clinicals, along with a lot of...

  16. Drop the BA path for the BSN?

    One2gofst replied to dairymarie's topic in General Nursing

    Correct. Once you earn a bachelor's degree, you no longer qualify for any Pell Grants. My situation really irked me, as when I was a dependant of my parents I qualified for no federal aid, got my...

  17. Drop the BA path for the BSN?

    One2gofst replied to dairymarie's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know what your financial situation is like, but if you ualify for Pell Grants, I would not get your BA first. This is from someone with a BS going back for an ABSN. Personally, if I were doing...

  18. Best path to becoming a FNP

    One2gofst replied to Fourfecta's topic in General Nursing

    Just wanted to add, you seem to be about 31 now. I would never tell someone they can't do something, but you should understand that, in order to do this the fastest way, you'll probably be at least 37...

  19. Best path to becoming a FNP

    One2gofst replied to Fourfecta's topic in General Nursing

    Best is relative to a lot of things, including, level of income, level of education, amount of time, etc. For instance, if you have enough money to go to school full time and accelerated program might...

  20. Infant CPR while holding the baby on your arm...What?

    One2gofst replied to everthesame's topic in General Nursing

    I strongly doubt everyone who has posted in this thread is mixing the two up. I know I am not. As to how you give breaths, can you lean down while raising your palm to your mouth? If so, you can give...

  21. Pet Peeve: Poor Grammar by Nurses

    One2gofst replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I couldn't agree more. It cracks me up especially because when I generally experience these sort of usages it is from a person trying to look smart by using a fie dollar word when a five cent one will...

  22. Who is my employer?

    One2gofst replied to BBear13's topic in General Nursing

    Your question is an easy one. You are self-employed. However, as others have pointed out, you need to do a lot of things on your end not to have a bunch of tax liabilities (and possible penalties) you...

  23. BSN needed to work in Texas?

    One2gofst replied to shoecrazynurse's topic in Texas Nursing

    No, you don't have to have a BSN. You still might want to not pursue it, though. They require all nurses be able to differentiate a male from

    One2gofst replied to StL_Momma27's topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I am just getting ready to start my ABSN at Barnes in Jan, but I took A&P through STLCC, I at Flo and II at Meremec. My teachers were Dr. *** **** and Mrs. **** ****, respectively. Both...
