  1. Refusing Care of a COVID-19 Patient Due to Inappropriate PPE

    emmyers replied to BiscuitStripes's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I’m a 34 yo mom of 2 little ones, CCRN RN, have a mortgage to pay, and husband laid off due to COVID19. I also have severe asthma and am on a prednisone burst right now. My state licensing board...

  2. Applicants to Portland area schools 2013

    emmyers replied to apple74's topic in Oregon Nursing

    The OHSU transition is non-competitive, the bridge program is mostly online as well. Also, as for clinicals, all OCNE programs have the same required clinicals/hours as OHSU; one does not have more...

  3. Applicants to Portland area schools 2013

    emmyers replied to apple74's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Christy, Thank you, and now, I did not really have medical experience, I did have a lot of volunteer experience though. I spent a few months in Baton Rouge and New Orleans helping with Katrina...

  4. Applicants to Portland area schools 2013

    emmyers replied to apple74's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hi everyone! Wanted to send my best wishes to you all, I was in your shoes last year and now I am a student at MHCC. If you have any questions about the program/process I'd be happy to help. As for...

  5. How many times have you applied?

    emmyers replied to Sartorius1's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey, I applied two years in a row, was waitlisted and then accepted each year at MHCC, but I turned down the 1st year in order to take a year off and work to pay off debt so I wouldn't have to work...

  6. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    emmyers replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    @toekneejo I do not know what statistical rates you are referring to (whether say, occupational mortality or disease), I was referring to those gathered by the WHO (which I stated in my post), and I...

  7. Healthcare is NOT a basic human right.

    emmyers replied to Asystole RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You are assuming that constitutional rights are equivalent to basic human rights, when that is not necessarily true. You are merely claiming that healthcare is not a constitutional right by claiming...

  8. Coffee Is My Medicine

    emmyers replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    I used to manage an Italian Coffee shop, and as much as I love it, the acidity in coffee gives me heartburn. So now I just take Guarana supplements as

  9. Being an ugly nurse

    emmyers replied to mofomeat's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think it matters what people think of your appearance. In fact, if I'm at the hospital as a pt, I'm probably at my own worst; and I'd rather have McNormal than McDreamy taking care of me any...

  10. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    emmyers replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Nurse Maru, Jadelpn's suggestion is one that takes into account the environment at the least risk to the girl. It is one that will provide an open door for the girl where she may not have one, in...

  11. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    emmyers replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure what you are basing your judgment here off of, but that's certainly not true for the majority of those I know who was home-schooled, and I know quite a few people from home-schooled...

  12. "Why does a nurse have to go to college?"

    emmyers replied to bookwormom's topic in General Nursing

    Your friend seems to know very little about nursing as a career if he's asking why they need to go to school. If he's too stubborn to help his daughter seek out a nursing school when the time comes,...

  13. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    emmyers replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Yes, I do know what it's like, don't judge me according to your own personal conflictions. Don't patronize me. I deleted my side comment questioning your moral development, but I really find it...

  14. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    emmyers replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I think you sound incredibly entitled and are missing the point of what it means to be a nurse. To think of it as just a job is to slap in the face to every nurse who's sacrificed their time and life...

    emmyers replied to portland medic's topic in Oregon Nursing

    Lilpoka: I got my shots at the co health dept, and was scheduled to get my titers, but they said they were no longer giving them when I showed up. Super bummed! So now I have to look somewhere...

  18. MHCC Alternates 2012

    emmyers posted a topic in Oregon Nursing

    Hey, just wanted a place for those who are MHCC alternates, so we can see how the list is moving, who is going where, and when calls are going out. I'm in the 20s, and pretty confident about the...

  20. Applicants to Portland area schools

    emmyers replied to portland medic's topic in Oregon Nursing

    share13, I'd say pretty good chances! There were about 5 people at mhcc last year who were accepted b/c of people not finishing paperwork/vaccines/drug screen in time. I'd say chances are still...
