Nursing educators are not all that highly paid, unfortunately. Perhaps that is part of the problem.

Your hospital should have a policy about this. What does it say? Have you consulted with someone in the infection control department? What did they recommend?

May I call you "pizza face"? I worked nights for about 3 years and never really adjusted. I hope things change for you soon.

Wait til you get to suppositories...

It has been my goal for some time to work in Infection Control. I am an experienced med/surg nurse with a BSN. I've been applying for Infection Control jobs but keep getting told they are looking for someone with experience. I joined APIC, but need e...

bear feet would probably make me think twice, as well. especially if they were really hairy.

That's the thing. There isn't one right answer for these types of situations.

Before you turn in your paper, review the difference between affect and effect.

Your question is too vague. Try re-wording it if you hope to get meaningful answers. It might also help if you gave us an idea about what your assignment is.

I absolutely agree with you that more racial diversity is needed at the advanced practice levels. Kudos to you and your plans. However, in my med/surg job I routinely work alongside MSN nurses who are working the floor because they need to supplement...

Physics is all about trigonometry.

Best to check directly with them!

I think it's great that you're planning ahead! I would recommend taking pre-calc. You might decided to major in biology instead of nursing, or double major. The math background would benefit you in that case. Good luck!

Thanks for posting this!

I am not arguing with you about transmission by lollipop. I was simply pointing out that varicella is not solely an airborne disease.

Certainly not by the respiratory route.

Not so. Varicella is spread by contact as well, according to the CDC. http://www.cdc.gov/chickenpox/about/transmission.html The virus can also be spread from people with shingles by contact with the blisters, causing chickenpox.

Depends on the school.

A general familiarity with all of those things will help a lot with understanding basic physiological processes and diseases processes, as well as actions of medications and in understanding other types of treatments. Plus, it will help a lot when y...

The best ideas usually come from a problem you've seen that interests you. You've got a good start because you've already identified an area of interest. What problems have you noticed in diabetes care or management?

I could have very happily lived the rest of my life without knowing this.

A little note to her manager describing your great experience would be awesome too!

She really said that? As a nurse I was always grateful to see the phlebotomists on our floor, because I've worked at hospitals where the nurses had to do the lab draws on top of everything else and I didn't like it at all. So I'm really surprised a n...

What is is about working in the lab that you don't like? You certainly have more options as a nurse. Way more options. But it's still healthcare.

Not random at all. It wasn't invented in the USA.
