    CNA without GED

    Jory replied to danee77's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they will ask to see it. Hospitals aren't nursing homes and they do more checks. Don't lie on your application, because that is essentially what you are planning on doing. A GED is not that big...

    California Vaccine Bill Eliminates Personal Exemption

    Jory replied to wtbcrna's topic in Disaster Preparation

    If the parents want to make these nutty decisions for themselves that is fine, but don't make it for innocent children. I have personally known two parents who lost children to whooping cough in the...

    Where to buy cheap scrubs?

    Jory replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I would encourage you not to go "too cheap" and I'll tell you why. My sets that I spent just a little more on have far outlasted the cheap sets. The cheap sets that I have bought, some of which...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Jory replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not back peddling at all and I don't appreciate you making unfounded assumptions. I made my statement, I stand by my statement, I worded it exactly the way it was intended to be worded and before...

    Dealing with possibly unsafe coworkers?

    Jory replied to Oswin's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    It's a bit interesting that it's always the CNA. Only report what you directly observe, everything else is just hearsay. The CNA has the ability to report as well and I would remind her of that since...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Jory replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll let you figure that out. I purposely left out my opinion to allow others to draw their own

    HIPPA Violation Question: Triage

    Jory replied to abundantjoy07's topic in Emergency

    I disagree. What do they expect you to do when they ask a direct question about how long the wait us? Lie about it? If they leave that is a choice. I e never heard of an ER being sued because a...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Jory replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have to go out and kill someone to understand murder is wrong? Do you have to get hooked on drugs to know that it wrecks your life? (Eye roll) I didn't have children before I became a mother...

    How does your NICU unit run?

    Jory replied to LucyRn4's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    Level III. Babies are on a q4 or q3 schedule per physician order. Vitals are taken with the hands on assessment. Labs and weight at

    Any FNP out there that went to a for profit online university out there?

    Jory replied to Ptrv12's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I couldn't disagree with you more. The top nursing schools in the country have online programs. Vanderbilt, is a top school and requires students to find their own preceptors. They will help if you...

    PNP and Woman's Health?

    Jory replied to loveflowers's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP's are working outside of their scope of practice if they work as

    Would this be considered a med error?

    Jory replied to Theone40's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If the order is clear for 275 then you do not call the physician to clarify. If you can't split one tablet to equal that then you need to ask the pharmacist what forms are available. Yes, three...

    Cleaning Supplies in the NICU

    Jory replied to alyssak517's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The isolettes are cleaned by a team with specialized training. The nurses don't touch them. We are not permitted to use Caviwipes on the clear parts because it will eventually haze. Inside is...

    Is this right?

    Jory replied to kariace's topic in General Students

    You actually want to take A&P before Biology? That would be a mistake. You won't take any nursing classes until you are admitted to the program. You have a standard

    Unplanned extubation while on orientation

    Jory replied to tictac's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I'm not the medical director so it's not my decision. I can tell you that it has revealed many, many problems and unplanned extinctions are rare

    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    Jory replied to Rachel1001's topic in School, College Programs

    So you think it's perfectly acceptable for someone to have a 4.0 and not be granted their degree when HESI is not 100% proven to be a predictor? What other profession do we do this with? Oh that's...

    HESI exit exam as a requirement to graduate from the Rhode Island College Nursing Program

    Notice the topic isn't Boards but HESI and many professions require licensure exams. I stand by my

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Jory replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The most racist group in America is not who you think it is. I live in one of the most bigoted areas of the country and I cannot even tell you how many years it's been since I actually heard anyone...

    Does my RACE matter when applying to Nursing Programs?

    Jory replied to LinaJill123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it's rare that an applicant would be subjected to racism. I think there are some minorities that would like to blame race rather than the fact that they were not the best qualified person....

    would adult camodeling affect your licence or ability to get a job?

    Jory replied to Morgan264's topic in General Nursing

    What is the deal with adult web camming being the new topic on adult nurses. I hate to say, we may need a sticky on it. Here is the deal: If it is legal in your state, and you have no self-worth or...

    PNP and Woman's Health?

    Jory replied to loveflowers's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    FNP would be a better option or a PNP and then do a post-masters WHNP. FNP would cost far

    Taking office (paperwork) job straight out of school

    Jory replied to mrd2689a's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, that would be a mistake. You are underestimating how difficult the transition is and frankly, I would NEVER hire a new grad with zero experience to audit charts. You do not have anywhere near...

    Delirium tremens, level of care?

    Jory replied to hybr1d's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    At many hospitals in the states, they have an alcohol protocol that anyone with a known dependency is placed on. It also includes seizure and respiratory precautions. It is very rare that we have...
