    Workplace Bullying-Nursing or 7th Grade?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to rbs105's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is so true. Bullies pick on those they perceive as weak. If you allow it once, it will only escalate from there. If they sense confidence, they may pick a few times and fail, then they just stay...

    If you sign in with facebook doesn't it import stuff from that??? If you read my posts, you can figure out where I work and probably do just a little digging find my name. I think I have used this...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to bouttobern's topic in Excelsior College

    Yup, fastest you can do it is 8 weeks if you do both at the same time (and pass them both). Many students are doing them at the same time without issues, even though Excelsior recommends one at at...

    Er vs ICU

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Caleb_RN225's topic in Critical Care

    ICU is more long term thinking. Not just "I need to get their BP down" or "great, we got a heartbeat back on this code" but more of what do we do now to get them discharged from the hospital healthy...

    12 Hour Shifts

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to cdsavannah59's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    12 hr days are easy after 24 hour shifts (or even 48 sometimes) on an ambulance. 8 hour days actually seem too short

    Are men not as neat as women nurses?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Men in Nursing

    It is not a matter of offense, it is a matter of her attitude and perception of men (messy=male) and her sexisim (which could lead to discrimination). If she thinks men are messy, she will see messy...

    EC Grad employment rate?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to EliseB.'s topic in Excelsior College

    Are you comparing the ASN program to BSN programs? Also, 100% employment? I highly doubt that. New grads everywhere are having problems getting employed regardless of school (especially those with...

    Are men not as neat as women nurses?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to LVN_Soon2Be's topic in Men in Nursing

    What a sexist stereotypical comment. If you were to say something to her about all females are xyz she would throw a fit. People like this need to be called out and reported. It shows she already...

    Continuing education after Excelsior Degree

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mikect05's topic in Excelsior College

    Any source for this? I have not heard that and Excelsiors site says the same as before, unless you were enrolled before Dec 5 2003 you can't get your RN license in Cali. If it has changed that would...

    Continuing education after Excelsior Degree

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mikect05's topic in Excelsior College

    Yes, California does not recognize Excelsior nursing graduates as nurses (due to no true "clinical" rotations) and you can not ever get your RN license in the state of California as an Excelsior grad....

    Stupid ? Is a tech the same thing as a CNA?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to vettechtoRN's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Texas does not require an ER tech to be an EMT, it is up to the hospital what (if any) per-requisites are

    Continuing education after Excelsior Degree

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mikect05's topic in Excelsior College

    every college has credits that they will and will not accept from other colleges. It is really hard to say what will or will not transfer, you would have to talk to the college you plan on attending....

    Moving to Rio Grande Valley- Advice Please!

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to LizSaRN's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not positive but a friend said the RGV starting pay is around $21-23/hr for new grads, but you have to remember the cost of living is less there than in Chicago, so while you may make less, you will...

    CAUTIs in Critical Care

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to silverbelle's topic in MICU, SICU

    I don't know the exact number at my facility, but I heard we had like 4 CAUTI's last year (mid size suburban hospital, ~ 110 floor beds plus surgical and L&D beds) We have mandatory annual...

    Has much changed in the past 10 years?

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to madore57's topic in Texas Nursing

    Changed it what way? Some way yes, some ways no. Texas is no longer a state that just anybody can come to and get hired. There are many, many, many nursing schools turning out a lot of nurses...

    Memorial Hermann

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to blueorchid981's topic in Texas Nursing

    Hmm, did not know they offered relocation assistance. Push to be hired as an RN II, I think it starts at $29. RN I starts at $25. RN II is usually for those with at least a years experience, but I...

    Memorial Hermann

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to blueorchid981's topic in Texas Nursing

    As far as I know Hermann does not offer relocation assistance. Memorial City is a very busy hospital and traffic in the area is horrible. Gessner and I-10 is a very busy intersection with the mall...

    Your a lot nicer than I would have been. My response to "So he's at a rapid rate and we're not doing anything for him?" would have been "maybe your not, but I have

    A little anxiety applying for Nursing school as an older male

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Magnicious's topic in Men in Nursing

    How old are you? I was 43 when I graduated with my associates, will be around 47 when I get my BSN. I have found no issues from my co-workers with being a little older (about 2/3 of my coworkers are...

    NAME Group One Employers.

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to mainyah's topic in Texas Nursing

    I read about Group 1 on here a while back and it sounds horrible, I don't really see how it is legal. Glad it is not around here (and hopefully never will

    Help, concerned about new job

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to Armywife08's topic in Texas Nursing

    The hospital should follow CDC guidelines. I personally would not do it and bring it up the chain of command there. Is the job worth getting Guillain–Barré (even if it is a small chance)? Will...

    Nalon1 RN/EMT-P replied to EMTPRNDR's topic in Excelsior College

    So I am ignorant? I criticized them? I never criticized them. I never said they were not skilled. If you noticed I did congratulate them on it. It is an impressive task. I just asked a legitimate...
