  5. There's a Mousetrap In My Med Cart

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to 99percentangel's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    In my opinion it is simply a hard fact of life and I've seen often how it is done. I took a contract shift at a home for the elderly, and had about 20 patients, most ambulatory with tons of meds and...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to EwwThat'sNasty's topic in International Nursing

    Well, talk about stereotyping...I wonder if I should find that offensive (but I don't, because men, world-wide do seem to have poorer morals... American men are right there with the bulk of them...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to azil2010's topic in General Nursing

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to aila61's topic in Occupational Health

    A person who passes the NCLEX is able to be licensed. Does that qualify you to work as a company nurse? That really depends. Some places have little to do. Yet the scope of practice of an OHN is...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to WinterFairyRN's topic in International Nursing

    From TheFreeDictionary.com (my favorite) stint: 1. A length of time spent in a particular way There is nothing derogatory about the word. There is "she spent a stint as an apprentice," "he spent a...

  16. The Curious State of Nursing Education in RP

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to EwwThat'sNasty's topic in International Nursing

    You are working with the top few percent. You never see the tens of thousands that go into debt to study essentially with little or no chance and ever becoming a practicing RN. The document is not...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to SaderNurse05's topic in Occupational Health

  21. What are your plans as a RN?

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines

    What a lot of impressive posts. Were I able to I'd hire the lot of you, sight unseen! Unfortunately the corporation that I work for may well be bankrupt in not too many months so... (And I have no...

  22. Vermont license renewal

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to rajotolentino's topic in International Nursing

    Since you entered "yes" in question #1 you do not need to answer questions #2-5. Question #1 does pertain to your college education. I would enter the "school name " and add "-BSN program."...

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to Hoss's topic in International Nursing

  24. Say NO to LPN Progams in Philippines

    EwwThat'sNasty replied to gemini_star's topic in Philippines
