  1. What can I do to these scrub stains? Help Me!!!!

    jt43 replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    For future reference, hot water is generally a bad idea. Bleach doesn't work well on organic stains and I avoid it. Peroxide or something similar (like oxyclean) should work on ketchup. Shout is...

  2. Pre employment hair screening.

    jt43 replied to Jovial Jackson's topic in Nevada Nursing

    So, a quick search and I find they will take body hair. Hair Drug Testing

  3. Pre employment hair screening.

    jt43 replied to Jovial Jackson's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Pretty sure drug hair screening is only valid with head hair as body hair grows differently. Edited to add: So I'm pretty sure nobody is going to ask you for some of your "personal" hair to screen for...

  4. Waitlisted at Frontier Univ...in shock, any advice?

    jt43 replied to Jory's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Don't under-estimate the weight of your essay and letters of recommendation. They are often just as important as GPA. Additionally, some programs try to create a diverse environment and there may have...

  5. Dilemma in clinical?

    jt43 replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    I don't think it has anything to do with patients running the show or being nice to students or anything like that. Patients have the right to refuse treatment by a student. Period. It's wrong imo,...

  6. Dilemma in clinical?

    jt43 replied to mursetudent25's topic in General Students

    Last I checked no one *has* to accept care from a student. Imo, refusing care from a student (nurse, intern, etc.) is entirely within the rights of a

  7. MMR Immunization, and how long it takes for antigens to show

    jt43 replied to RNCub's topic in General Students

    My sister has had the mmr 5 or 6 times and has yet to develop titers. Think it usually takes 2-4 weeks to show positive

  8. Need advice from current students and alumni about loans

    jt43 replied to AniLMT's topic in General Students

    Several thoughts. First, as you are probably aware, there is a federal maximum on student loans. At Penn and JH, are you considered an undergrad for the ABSN portion of the program or are you...

  9. Do I have any chances of getting into a nursing school?

    jt43 replied to LilFatAzn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's my advice, petition the registrar at the college where you failed. Ask to have the semesters expunged from your record. State the reason/s you fell into depression and that you were depressed....

  10. My co-worker stinks like gin every morning!

    jt43 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    I also just googled, "gin perfume," "gin deodorant," "juniper perfume," "juniper scented" and came up with a million hits for gin or juniper scented products, including some from bath and body works....

  11. My co-worker stinks like gin every morning!

    jt43 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    I found this comment online on a page talking about BO." 3. As substitute for deodorant.. you can use GIN ....yes... an alcoholc drink as deodorant. The scent is only temporary . I read somewhere that...

  12. My co-worker stinks like gin every morning!

    jt43 replied to pawsomepooch47's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't read all the comments, but it's entirely possible for there to be other reasons she smells like gin other than she's drunk on the job or actively impaired. I am wondering however, assuming...

  13. nursing policy on handling infant that is not bathed

    jt43 replied to kms6417's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'd be willing to bet a LOT of money that the average door handle in a hospital has WAY more germs on it than an unbathed newborn.

  14. Help please i want to cry...

    jt43 replied to jmmarie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You don't mention why you're having trouble getting into nursing school? IMm inferring it's your GPA, by the last sentence of your post. Average GPAs for programs differ widely. My best advice is to...

  15. Do I have any chances of getting into a nursing school?

    jt43 replied to LilFatAzn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How long ago did you fail out of college? I saw somewhere that you can petition to have the failing semesters removed from your transcript if a certain amount of time has

  16. Immunizations and being a nurse

    jt43 replied to MrsF26's topic in General Nursing

    Not to nit pick, but even though a neonate's immune system is immature, the full term neonate has the same immunity/protection as it's mother. This protection is enhanced and extended if the mother...

  17. Immunizations and being a nurse

    jt43 replied to MrsF26's topic in General Nursing

    OP, how old are you and have you had any

  18. Let go

    jt43 replied to Wonderlost's topic in Nursing Career

    I think it sounds suspicious. I mean phlebotomists can use smelling salts. I doubt it was outside the scope of practice for a CNA, but you should check on that with the licensing board to be sure. It...

  19. substance abuse and schools

    jt43 replied to hwozni00's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oh and btw, it is specifically the DARE program that is controversial. Study after study have shown no lasting effects on drug and alcohol use and some studies have shown an increase in graduates...

  20. substance abuse and schools

    jt43 replied to hwozni00's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't know the specifics for your hometown, but heroin deaths frequently jump due to a shift in the purity of the heroin being sold on the street. The jump isn't usually due to an increase in the...

  21. Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    jt43 replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Maybe it would be a good idea to switch to a benzo with a shorter half-life and make sure not to take them the week before a drug

  22. Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    jt43 replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I know, but the policy is probably any positive test=impairment. It might be worth

  23. Denied employment at agency due to ordered prescriptions

    jt43 replied to RNwithHonors's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't really have any experience with this and I don't mean to sound harsh but just because you can and do take a medication legally doesn't mean that it doesn't impair judgment/function. It's legal...

  24. PLEASE Help!!! Idea needed for mental health teaching assignment!!!

    jt43 replied to theyounghippie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The exact setting and how long your session will be factor into what you will do. I used to work on an inner-city locked psych facility and that was a whole different thing than a posh suburban psych...

  25. PLEASE Help!!! Idea needed for mental health teaching assignment!!!

    jt43 replied to theyounghippie's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    How about: 1. Drug/alcohol/dual diagnosis issues 2. Dealing with rejection 3. Attributional style 4. Setting personal boundaries 5. The 12- step concept of HALT (being aware and not letting yourself...
