  1. Job interview that made you want to run?

    Sorry, should have specified that a nursing job is a nursing job. Yes, no two jobs are exact but I think you can get the point I was making. Many nurses are unable to find jobs. It's a bit silly to...
  2. Job interview that made you want to run?

    A job is a job. Don't be too picky :) Doesn't seem like you got a great vibe but I can't really pick out why other than issues you have with the labels of "skilled nursing" and the black uniform...
  3. Who would she even be apologizing to? She did not say it to anyone specifically. She said it after she hung up. This other employee must be a real piece of work.. Good for you for owning up to it...
  4. That seems very odd to me. That someone would come to work and immediately take a break. Shouldn't you be assessing your patients? What exactly are you taking a break from? I think I would rather have...
  5. what units of chemistry needed in nursing?

    Not that I have seen so far though I am still in nursing school. I mean some concepts must reach over but in reality you are not a chemist or a lab tech as a nurse :) So knowing the basics is enough.....
  6. Asking a patient if they're mentally retarded?

    Any intellectual disabilities? Any problems learning or did they think they learned slower or different from other people? Just have to phrase it in a way they may understand. You may need to speak to...
  7. The reverse end of "my preceptor hates me"

    I am currently a student and if someone pulled a chair next to mine to work I think I'd have the decency to ask "oh were you sitting here? Do you want me to move?" or something like that. To be...
  8. General Question about Salmonella

    Also depends on the virulence of the bacteria. There are many strains of salmonella. Each piece of chicken may have different # of bacteria but after a certain amount they will have similar symptoms....
  9. Does this make me an "RN snob"?

    The Dr. I work for (an oral surgeon) is also an MD. He is a DDS, MD. So it just depends on their education as if they are DDS, DMD. DDS, MD
  10. I got in to nursing school! Now overwhelmed with stress

    It's doable. I am in the exact same position. When I am in school (my 2nd degree.. and I went to grad school for a yr too) I work PT (like 15 or less hrs) and when I'm on break like the summer I work...
  11. Flu Vac, should it be mandatory

    Are you really a nurse that doesn't believe in vaccines? Why
  12. I have your meds, please take them:)

    I don't think this is a case where she forgot to do something. You go in the pt room to give pills. Unless she has some sort of memory loss or some issue going on, she purposefully left the pills with...
  13. Am I a victim of discrimination or being too sensitive?

    I'm not sure if the label discrimination is correct but these people are certainly being rude and disrespectful. To blatently point you out and ask your ethnicity? Then talk about "those people"?...
  14. In the office I work we charge $365.00 for IV sedation and $125.00 for
  15. Any nurses out there with siblings who are doctors?

    I have a biotech degree and was going for my masters in genetic counseling when I decided to get my BSN.. that was the general reaction from my family and friends. It hurt a lot. But enjoying what I'm...
  16. Is this professional?

    I would think this was odd and unprofessional too. Same as if she wore a hat or any other object inside that is meant for outside wear at her job as a professional. Not sure why everyone has their...
  17. Excelsior A & P Exam

    Hello, I will be taking my A & P excelsior exam tomorrow. I haven't been doing great on my practice exams (only a little more than 50%) so I am nervous I won't get the "C" I need. I know the...
  18. Dr Oz and Aspirin

    I'm in my first semester of nursing school and three different professors (NPs and PhDs) have instructed give aspirin. If the clot that causes an MI, stroke, etc if platelet rich (which it usually is...
  19. What size scrub pants do you wear and what size jeans?

    I am a 14 and similar body type (and inches of hips :)) At school a medium was waaaay too small and the large fit well on my thighs but are way too big around my waist :/ So maybe a large? Depends how...
  20. offended co worker

    Is he in middle school? Because i'm pretty sure if he had an issue he should have addressed that when you immediately asked him what was wrong. He obviously way over reacted immediately ior you...
  21. If you can't find a specific class maybe you could test out with the excelsior exam? (If your program would accept that) I found out 2 months before I started that I needed to take A & P prior to...
  22. RN's, how much did you borrow for school?

    Well. I already had a bachelor's degree previously which sent me up to 40k in loans.. then I went to grad school for a year which doubled that. Now I'm going for a BSN for 2.5 yrs.. so I would suspect...
  23. Whats the best school for me for nursing?

    Most programs require you have a certain average.. If you were close but didn't make it what factors would make it different this time around? Not being mean just realistic. Being married now makes...
  24. Failing Nursing School

    Is there anyway you can go to part time? It seems like squishing more info/classes into a smaller amount of time would not be helpful. I don't think going the online route would be any easier. I took...
  25. I have a BS in Biotechnology and I went to grad school for a yr for Genetic Counseling so I have a lot of developmental/basic bio (and a lot of molecular bio and chemistry) background. However I have...
