  1. visa screen querries

    DaFreak71 replied to joseph tulabut's topic in General Nursing

    Hi, Congratulations on passing the NCLEX! I would contact the the California board of nursing and ask them what your registration number is. Did they include a phone number on the letter they sent...

  2. Have you ever been named in a lawsuit

    DaFreak71 replied to Chris S.'s topic in General Nursing

    My husband has insurance through NSO, good organization. Out of curiousity, why is it taboo to discuss past lawsuits that you may have been named in? So long as it is not a pending suit and names are...

  3. Patients making me feel dumb

    DaFreak71 replied to kmokay's topic in General Nursing

    From a patient perspective: I use to go to a NP for my health care needs and she was assisted by a LPN. The woman in charge of the paperwork and sometimes helping gathering supplies was frequently in...

  4. Screw-ups?

    DaFreak71 replied to CH080605's topic in General Nursing

    I was written up twice last semester during clinicals. I'll share with you what happened so that hopefully you won't make the same mistakes (or if you do, you'll know ahead of time that there's a...

  5. Scrubs catalogue conspiracy!

    DaFreak71 replied to RNsRWe's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    But before you try allheart.com, try searching this very site for experiences that others have had with them. If the posts are no longer showing up the traditional way, do a google search and read...

  6. PLEASE HELP!!! so embarassed about sweating!

    DaFreak71 replied to Bumashes's topic in General Nursing

    If you are a female, perhaps wearing a scrub-skirt would be a solution. You'd have air circulating around and I would imagine that would put an end to the butt-sweat problem at least. Good

  7. Condition H

    DaFreak71 replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    So in other words, if there's an accident in the house the parents are to blame and if they should later become advocates for change they should be viewed as hypocrites? That's pretty much what I...

  8. Condition H

    DaFreak71 replied to LaNorteBellaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's an excellent idea. It can give families in crisis peace of mind, an emergency "second opinion" is sometimes needed. The system might be abused by some disgruntled families, but I think...

  9. Theoretical Situation

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Let's say an RN has a severe drug addiction (by her own admission) and one day she O.D.'s in an attempt to kill herself. She ends up in the local ICU of a small town hospital where alot of people...

  10. Do i look tasty???

    DaFreak71 replied to imamommynurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    As Epiphany already said, we need more practical suggestions on how to handle these situations, what to say, etc. Thank you for posting this. Here's what I do when confronted with similar situation in...

  11. GPA from other school affecting me

    DaFreak71 replied to Yanet22787's topic in General Nursing

    If you are planning on going to another college afterwards, you are asked to provide transcripts for all schools attended. Especially if you are getting financial aid, they will know that you...

  12. do you read everything?

    DaFreak71 replied to guest64485's topic in General Students

    The first day of classes in my ADN program, the instructors informed us that our test questions come from our class objectives (which we are given at the start of the semester for each unit). I never...

  13. Paramedics who 'put down' nurses

    DaFreak71 replied to NurseguyFL's topic in General Nursing

    How is an EMT feeling superior to the RN any different from the RN who claims superiority over the physician because "they don't know or care about the patient as much as nurses"? Seems like sibling...

  14. Medication Calculation Help

    DaFreak71 replied to buddhababy2monster's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I believe by using only two formulas, you can have all your bases covered. You need to figure out gtts/min: total volume x drop rate ____________________ total time x 60 minutes per hour Just cross...

  15. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    DaFreak71 replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    If I could get paid (add some medical benefits) to sit at home and play video games, that would be my ideal job. But since that's never gonna happen, nursing is a good second choice. My husband is a...

  16. What was the toughest part of Nursing school for you?

    DaFreak71 replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Students

    The worst part of nursing school has been the downright evil attitudes of a few instructors and the backbiting of some of my classmates. I actually love clinical, don't mind the careplans and don't...

  17. Please Tell Me What You Think

    DaFreak71 replied to brown eyed girl's topic in General Nursing

    You made several grammatical errors that you might want to fix before sending it out. I agree with the other responders that your letter does sound as if you are annoyed. I think you might be asking...

  18. Is professor homophobic or just tough?

    DaFreak71 replied to RISC601's topic in Male Nursing Students

    More than likely, you will never know if the source of tension between you and your instructor is based on your sexual orientation or not. For your own peace of mind, I would actively try to dismiss...

  19. suggest a name for postpartum depression program

    DaFreak71 replied to sarahjos's topic in General Nursing

    Great point about the privacy. Postcare Program does sound professional, and you wouldn't have to divulge your personal issues to a stranger if they asked where you were going, etc. I like

  20. suggest a name for postpartum depression program

    DaFreak71 replied to sarahjos's topic in General Nursing

    I totally get what you're saying, but at first glance the idea that overcoming PPD is a matter of changing your perspective is akin to being told to "cheer up" or "snap out of it", or "there's nothing...

  21. Well Patient Who Did Not Want to be Coded

    DaFreak71 replied to SilentfadesRPA's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  22. Well Patient Who Did Not Want to be Coded

    DaFreak71 replied to SilentfadesRPA's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I'm not really understanding where the controversy is. I have a feeling that the real issue is that nurses/doctors don't feel like the patient should be making such a decision. But once he's...

  23. money for Wolford?!

    DaFreak71 replied to icurn24's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I have a friend who is there now and financial aid is not yet available. Apparently there was some sort of snafu when they switched names and now they are having trouble with the govt regarding...

  24. CRNA VS RN intensive care

    DaFreak71 replied to macmac's topic in General Nursing

    I have no clue what people in California would make, but where I'm at (Mississippi), CRNA's start out at around 160K per year as a new grad. ICU RN's on graveyard shift make about 22 per hour (as a...

  25. just need help

    DaFreak71 replied to lmh47's topic in General Nursing

    All of the R.N.'s I know, including my husband, thought nursing school was much more stressful than the actual job. Maybe it depends on the unit you work on, but my husband works on the CCU and even...
