  1. Aviator Scrub Sizing

    Getting ready to order some scrubs from Aviator and want to do my bet to make sure I order the right size the first time so I don't have to deal with the hassle of exchanging. I am 5'10" about 195...
  2. Morphine PCA

    Just a sort of aside, but if folks aside from the patient are pushing e button it is no longer a PCA, by
  3. What to do?

    That's up to you. I always ask the question when I can expect to hear something back whenever I speak to someone. This serves to avoid the crazy speculation about what might be going on. It also gives...
  4. What to do?

    Why not complete the app for the second place. It isn't like they are going to offer you a job tomorrow and only give you 5 minutes to make a decision. Plus, more options is always better for the job...
  5. How much pain medicine is too much?

    Judging the patient as a drug seeker and addict is not advocating for the patient, FYI!I don't think examining every option for the best possible pain control is a bad idea necessarily. However, what...
  6. Morphine PCA

    In my hospital only the patient is supposed to use the Pca. If the patient is unable to use a Pca another method of pain control should be
  7. Fraudulant charge, should I still apply?

    Most likely no one will vote in your "poll" as no one here is allowed to give legal advice. Your best bet would be speak to the board, the school and an attorney, not necessarily in that
  8. Aviator Scrub Sizing

    Thanks for the input. Any others' input before I order in e next couple days would be appreciated as
  9. How can I start with Oncology Nursing?

    Take my story with a grain of salt, but for me, it was just about applying to units. I graduated in Dec., passed boards first week in Feb. and was looking for jobs the whole time. Often I didn't even...
  10. Stethoscope for New Grad

    No knowledge about your particular needs. Just wanted to say I am jealous you get to use your own stethoscope. Working on a lymphoma/leukemia floor, most patients are on precautions and have a...
  11. Is it True?

    I took my NCLEX (and passed) first week of this past February. As I recall the drug names were generally the generic and not the trade
  12. My apologies. I did not register that part of the
  13. I don't think that lying is the best idea to land a
  14. Being a male nurse?

    Plenty of time buddy. I graduated my ABSN program and turned 30 last year. My advice will be to look at what you really want to do. I too love the excitement of emergency services. However, I do...
  15. will a titanium watch stop me from getting wrist rash?

    From another watch guy, make sure the stainless watches are using a high grade like 303 stainless rather than some cheap Chinese pot metal. That said, if you are super sensitive, high quality titanium...
  16. Is this a common feeling?

    IMO, you are doing too much. I am not saying the way I did it was the only way but I finished the NCLEX in 43 minutes at 75 questions and passed. All I did was Saunders exams over every content area....
  17. Calling a doctor question.

    I give the full introduction whenever I call anyone who is not a personal friend of mine. It is the right way to handle things, IMO. Practically it also makes your call much more likely to be taken...
  18. Any ME time at all during RN program?

    Take it or leave it, as my experience may not be typical. I graduate this coming Saturday from an 11 month ABSN program. I had plenty of time to do whatever I wanted during nursing school. I know some...
  19. advanced airway use

    I agree that it will depend on scope of practice and facillity policy. I do have a piggyback question. Here in MO, EMTs can use and are trained on the use of a Combitube. If a nurse was also an EMT...
  20. Info on Goldfarb/Barnes

    I am in the second semester of the accelerated program at Barnes. I believe it is very good, however, it is very intensive. If you are struggling with the classes at community college, I would urge...
  21. Wasn't the School Nurse right?

    i am not taking sides as i don't believe either viewpoint is entirely correct. however, merely relating anecdotal occurrences as fact is not a valid argument for how all lpns are trained. imo, so...
  22. Is this appropiate? Please...need input. Thx

    Wear standard interview attire. As for the doughnuts, why wouldn't you let all the nurses have them if you brought them
  23. No need to get snippy. The fact of the matter remains, if there is a contract in place and it was broken, there are legal grounds to bring suit. Just because a lot of times people allow themselves to...
  24. Really? And on what expertise in contract law do you base this
  25. Do you have a written job offer? If so, have you considered legal
