  1. Help coming up with a psychosocial topic of interest

    RevolutioN2013 replied to DeliveryRN2007's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would think that something about the loss of a job and its effect on the parent who loses it, the parent who still has their job and the effect on the kids would be very appropriate for our times...

  2. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    RevolutioN2013 replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    I respectfully disagree - state law can NOT be written contra to federal law. State law can be less that federal law, in which case federal law trumps state. State law can also go farther than...

  3. High divorce rate among nurses? Why?

    RevolutioN2013 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    see, i knew there was some good news somewhere! funny what you said about the introspection part, though. i want to go into psych and so my hubs was telling me about this radio thing as a sort of...

  4. NO LUNCH? NO BREAKS? Is that common in nursing?

    RevolutioN2013 replied to CleveRN2008's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I'm currently the Operations Manager for my company and deal with HR and payroll issues every day. I'm pre-nursing and will be transitioning careers, but that aside please let me say something...

  5. Advice

    RevolutioN2013 replied to maejerri's topic in General Nursing

    I am a pre-nursing student so I have no opinion on the nursing work side of this discussion. However, I administer the benefits for the company I work for so I do have some input on the insurance...

  6. Critique my plan!

    RevolutioN2013 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm 40 and we have a child to support and a car payment to make. I have a job making $50K and need to keep it as long as possible. I will get my CNA in March and should have my CNA II by the end of...

  7. Critique my plan!

    RevolutioN2013 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The diploma program I'd like to get into requires that you be listed on the NA I registry with the state BON, but not that you have worked. I just want the clinical experience. I tend to think that...

  8. Critique my plan!

    RevolutioN2013 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had not thought of this, and I think your suggestion has a lot of merit. IYO is there a significant disadvantage to NOT taking A&P I and II back to back? If I do as you have suggested I would...

  9. Critique my plan!

    RevolutioN2013 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thank you all for your input. It's a long story, I've always leaned toward psych and AMH-NP is my goal now. I was dissuaded in college when I wasn't so focused and driven and then ended up falling...

  10. Question for those who have completed an RN-BSN

    RevolutioN2013 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your input. This reinforces my goal of doing an RN-MSN at Chapel Hill. They have 1 semester of "bridge" prerequisites to take based on your own curriculum gaps and then you begin...

  11. Question for those who have completed an RN-BSN

    RevolutioN2013 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I have a question for those who have completed an RN-BSN. I already have a BS degree in an unrelated field. So if one looks at a typical 4 year college degree and breaks it down into general...

  12. Followed MD Order--Now Do I Look Incompetent?

    RevolutioN2013 replied to LaurenBoog's topic in General Nursing

    Question from a future student here. Was the OP criticized because she gave the max allowable dose of Ativan or was it because the patient was being xferred to step down? If it is the former, then...

  13. Danger to self? help!

    RevolutioN2013 replied to Trubie's topic in General Nursing

    What an interesting thread - I am a future student so this is an excellent discussion for me to read and learn from. My question is about who decides whether or not the patient is a danger, whether...

  14. CNA in Nsg school attracted to ER

    RevolutioN2013 replied to CNA2day's topic in Emergency

    I have a VA in my town and hear really good things about how great the overall package is to work there, in addition to what you said about it being tough to get into. If you think you have interest...

  15. CNA II classes worth the time

    RevolutioN2013 replied to EmCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    In looking at the Novant job search website it appears that they do not hire CNA I for ICU or ED - only CNA II so I would think that getting your CNA II and getting hired into one of those departments...

  16. CNA II classes worth the time

    RevolutioN2013 replied to EmCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    From what I read on the NCBON site a CNA II can do a few more things than a CNA I. A CNA II can do some suctioning, some ostomy care, insert urinary catheters, flush tubing on IV's and monitor flow...

    RevolutioN2013 replied to EmCNA's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hi EmCNA - You know me from the other thread LOL! I hope you get replies as I would like to know the answer to the same question. I finish my CNA I at the Cloverleaf Extension in March and was...

  19. Nurses: If jobs were equally abundant in America, where would you most want to work?

    RevolutioN2013 replied to Samian Q's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know where...but I know what it would be like! It would be a part of the US that has beautiful scenery, easy access to natural recreational places, temperate climate year-round so that it...

  20. Withdrawl of Life Support in the PICU

    RevolutioN2013 replied to JudithRN24's topic in PICU, Pediatric

    RevolutioN2013 replied to rene76's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Is it true that NCLEX pass rate for the school you attended is a significant factor for Nurse Managers who hire new grads? I know someone who is an NP and she attended her local diploma program and...

    RevolutioN2013 replied to RevolutioN2013's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is an old thread but I wanted to ask a question. I'm taking pre-req classes now in order to transition into nursing as a second career. I've been watching the Discovery Health show "Trauma: Life...
