  3. 40yr old overweight nursing starting school, looking for some workout adivce

    MN-Nurse replied to icarr757's topic in Male Nursing Students

    That will help. I lost about 65 pounds my last semester of nursing school. I had tried the gym memberships and everything before and I no longer had the funds so that was out. Weight watchers and...

  6. Aids giving me trouble-what to do?

    MN-Nurse replied to BrazoriaLVN's topic in General Nursing

    Write 'em up. If they continue to endanger residents, tell the Dept of Health. Oh...and find another job ASAP if management does nothing about the problem, or more likely, blames

  7. How do you determine what is a good facility BEFORE you work for them?

    MN-Nurse replied to CNA&student's topic in General Nursing

    If it is a nursing home and almost all of its revenue comes from public funds.... It's gonna be bad. But...that's where I worked my first job and I'm glad I

  8. Should Alzheimers Clients have the right to REFUSE medication ?

    MN-Nurse replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose we could go by the book and use the same or similar process used on psych patients. That could get expensive in a hurry, but the RN and facility would be protected from a lawsuit that they...

  9. To Swab or Not to Swab......

    MN-Nurse replied to Testa Rosa, RN's topic in Patient Medications

    At school they told us to swab everything so I swab everything. I would suggest following facility policy. If you have an evidence-based practice dept/person, you can bring your research findings to...

    MN-Nurse replied to Flare's topic in General Nursing

    When I had an allograph ACL replacement, I was deferred from donating for one year by the Red Cross. I could have said, "Well they are going to test anyway" and lied, but I didn't. There are many...

  13. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    MN-Nurse replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    Not even close to reality. The amount of misinformation on the subject of tax rates is mind boggling. And the conservatives are constantly using this false data to get votes. The tax rates are public...

  14. Why is home health considered an "easier" area of nursing, suitable for beginners?

    MN-Nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Have you ever worked in home health? The hiring managers probably thought the new grads would get training and preceptors. They also figured they could match up patient needs with capabilities of...

  15. Why is home health considered an "easier" area of nursing, suitable for beginners?

    MN-Nurse replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Home Health covers a very, very wide spectrum of patients, so it depends on the needs of the agency. It is a challenging area of nursing, but new grads can rise to that challenge with proper training....

  16. Advice for making myself more marketable??

  19. Anyone else not able to get their license in MN due to BON temporary closure?

    MN-Nurse replied to DolceVita's topic in First Year After Licensure

    They don't care. Really, they don't. Minnesota voters did this to themselves by voting in Republicans who refuse to negotiate in good

  20. Who's Drinking Haterade?

    MN-Nurse replied to mzrainydayz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Depends on where you work. At my LTC, the aides hated everyone and everything. In home health and on my med surg floor, students were very well liked and respected. A few us passed our boards while...

  21. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    MN-Nurse replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you do appreciate living in a free, safe place if you think you are "working for free" when you pay taxes to live in that place. I don't like that people abuse substances either. But...

  22. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    MN-Nurse replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

    That is due the fact that the top 10% controls so much of the nation's wealth. The top 1% of Americans owns 34% of the nations wealth. The top 10% of Americans owns over 70%. The bottom 40% owns...

  23. 1/3 of my paycheck goes to tax!

    MN-Nurse replied to pale_pilsen's topic in General Nursing

  25. What's up with the proposal for req. for Bachelor for RN?

    MN-Nurse replied to uRabbit's topic in General Students

    The problem is that when hospitals or internship programs exclude or bar ADN graduates from their programs, this is not "advocating for the profession" at all. This is simply barring licensed people...
