  1. Your first nurse educator job?

    DowntheRiver replied to blackmamba123's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Here in Florida it seems all the jobs require a MSN. I'm starting my MSN program in August but it is just part-time and will take me 3 years to complete. I was looking to do some part-time work as an...

  3. Eating the patients' food?

    DowntheRiver replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the weirdo who doesn't like turkey. I can't stand Thanksgiving turkey, either. If the apocalypse happens and all that is left to eat is turkey of course I would eat turkey but that is about it....

  4. Eating the patients' food?

    DowntheRiver replied to blackmamba123's topic in General Nursing

    I'm keto so the only thing I can eat is the little peanut butter cups, and even that is not the best. I've been caught before licking the cup to get every little last bit of peanut butter out on days...

  5. Investigating Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome

    DowntheRiver replied to Brenda F. Johnson's topic in General Nursing

    My brother-in-law suffers from this and refuses to quit smoking. He believes it is made up and that the marijuana is actually helping him. He was tested for autoimmune disorders and it came back that...

  6. UT Arlington MSN Nurse Educator

    DowntheRiver replied to schmoodle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    How long did the MSN Ed program take? Were the classes hard? I start July 2nd - any advice? I just finished their RN to BSN program in May so I am familiar with their online

  7. What is considered a positive TB test, 10mm or 15mm?

    DowntheRiver replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    So I just saw on IFLScience that some kid in Idaho had the Bubonic plague. So never say never! I know it still is possible in certain parts of the world/country, but that was not something I was...

  8. What happens if you are injured on your way to clinical due to weather?

    DowntheRiver replied to invitemeplz's topic in General Students

    You should look up Act of God defenses. Seems right up your alley. Anytime we have ever had a hurricane, we are still expected to come to work. You know it is coming, so you leave early and then camp...

  12. Which job offer to accept

    DowntheRiver replied to Dormi93's topic in General Nursing

    OR is it's own speciality so to go with that job and have no intention of staying in that specialty is not what I would recommend. That is a lot of training just to most likely abandon that job after...

  13. What is considered a positive TB test, 10mm or 15mm?

    DowntheRiver replied to mzsuccess's topic in General Nursing

    Not necessarily true. Recent live vaccination (MMR, VZV, Smallpox) in the last 28 days can cause a false positive. If you also currently have or have very recently had measles or smallpox it can also...

  14. Online BSN Programs??(CRNA track)

    DowntheRiver replied to FloridaGator369's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh, a Gator. My original alma mater FSU no longer has a RN to BSN program, unfortunately. Why not do UF's RN to BSN program? I would have done their program but they didn't open the program up to...

  15. Need advice on direction

    DowntheRiver replied to Crae5100's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with brownbook. Pretty much outpatient clinic nurse will be your best bet. I absolutely enjoy outpatient Oncology and the pay is excellent and I only work Monday thru Friday. The only...

    DowntheRiver replied to trio825's topic in General Nursing

    DowntheRiver replied to kakamegamama's topic in General Nursing

  18. Maternity without FMLA

    DowntheRiver replied to Coffee Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    Does your company have their own type of leave? I was recently diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and thought I may have to miss some consecutive days (10) due to a procedure. This was back in...

  19. Should I run from this job??

    DowntheRiver replied to Statdotcom's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe not run today but I would certainly start looking elsewhere and leave once you've accepted another job

  20. is this bullying?

    DowntheRiver replied to jennalou's topic in General Nursing

    You do you to get through the program so you can graduate, take the NCLEX, and get your license. Pay no mind to those other folks. Hang back a little, keep the socializing to a minimum, and study by...

    DowntheRiver replied to jive turkey's topic in General Nursing

  23. Balancing Nursing and having kids

    DowntheRiver replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

    Whatever you decide, don't wait too long. We waited until I was 30 to try to have kids with no luck at 32 and *ta-da* my husband has Male Factor Infertility. We will now have to try to surgically...
