  1. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    DutchgirlRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am aware of the law. Because congress deams it a constitutional right doesn't mean that I have to agree. And I don't. That's my constitutional

  2. Awesome news about my nursing tuition!!!

    DutchgirlRN replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In 1974 when I went to LPN school my total tuition was $250 which included books and 3 uniforms. We got free lunch everyday. Those who agreed to work for the hosp for a year after graduation got...

  3. Colorado - Illegal Immigrants no longer eligble for state health care

    DutchgirlRN replied to hope3456's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Which is something we need to change. Many illegals are having children so that they can legally stay here because they have an America citizen to support. This is wrong. If I were in another country,...

  4. Is it just my agency????

    DutchgirlRN replied to kk2000's topic in Home Health

    I have never received a missed visit form. I don't think the agency even has one. Sounds like the care manager needs an inservice or needs to be replaced. That's a really bad situation. I don't know...

  5. Would you recommend ARNA?

    DutchgirlRN replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in Radiology

  6. Do you think nursing is physically unhealthy?

    DutchgirlRN replied to mikethern's topic in General Nursing

    Physically unhealthy, no working days, yes working nights. Definately emotionally challenging which can lead to mental health

  9. EC Nursing Concept 1

    DutchgirlRN replied to PedsRN-07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Okay, yeah...study guides can only be downloaded by enrolled students. I still think you can order them for free through the mail. I'm

  10. EC Nursing Concept 1

    DutchgirlRN replied to PedsRN-07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I just check the excelsior website and when I clicked to download the study guide it asked for my alumni ID and Password. Perhaps you have to be registered to download? I do think you can request it...

  11. For those using EC now...Fee to Pearson, too?

    DutchgirlRN replied to mimeduke's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I graduated in 2000 and it was not that way back then, obviously things have changed. So if you don't pay Pearson for your exam...who do you pay? EC? I was not aware that you could take any of the...

  12. sextuplets

    DutchgirlRN replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I understand what you're saying teapot. I would compare that such that I don't think I could take in a handicapped child. Not that I wouldn't want to but I know that I'm not cut out for such a...

  15. EC Nursing Concept 1

    DutchgirlRN replied to PedsRN-07's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Go to : http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rnstudygroup/ Ask for an invite to the Nursing Concepts 1 study group. Also check the files for Concepts 1 and Differences A (what it used to be called). I used...

  16. Should I push the issue?

    DutchgirlRN replied to Mabel 29's topic in General Nursing

    My hire date and start date were two different dates. I'd fight it. If they gave you a PPD, it was on their nickel, verifying that you are their employee. Good

  17. What do you never leave home without?

    DutchgirlRN replied to RNCRNA2BE's topic in CCU, Coronary, Cardiac

    Your sense of humor and a clear

  19. sextuplets

    DutchgirlRN replied to preemieRNkate's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I really think there should be some sort of law against inseminating when more than 3 follicles are seen. It sounds like the Arizona sextuplets at over 3 pounds each (except one) are going to be fine...

  20. For those using EC now...Fee to Pearson, too?

    DutchgirlRN replied to mimeduke's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I graduated from EC going directly thru them and you've got me confused! I paid a fee to be admitted to EC for one year. You have to pay that admission fee to EC whether or not you use TCN or Rue. The...

  21. Would this happen at your ER?

    DutchgirlRN replied to AlisonBSN's topic in Emergency

    We do not take admitted patients to the ER for procedures. The night supervisor would be responsible to get the needed supplies together and bring them to the floor. Sounds like an arrogant

  22. Would you turn down BSN for ADN??

    DutchgirlRN replied to Alert&Orientedx0's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes. There's no difference in the pay. If you're looking to eventually get into management you'll need your

  23. Working in a cardiology office?

    DutchgirlRN replied to wildcats's topic in General Nursing

    Just my own humble opinion: I have worked for doctors and loved the job. I think the hardest doctors to get along with are cardiologists. Seems to me their ego's get in the way. Could work out just...

  24. Smile if you DON't HATE Nursing!

    DutchgirlRN replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    The great thing about nursing is that they are so many different areas in which you can work. If you get tired of one you can move on to another. I think the money is good, once you get a few years in...

  25. Hate nursing job

    DutchgirlRN replied to lvsmith's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't find it odd that your chose nursing. I find the following an odd comment... There's not a nurse on this board that doesn't find nursing challenging at times. I am a very easy going...
