  1. Forced to stay and work under mandatory evacuation?

    HM-8404 replied to squatmunkie_RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hospitals only have one choice when facing a hurricane, evacuate all those patients they can and ride it out with the rest. For those that can't be sent home they have to find a place to evacuate them...

    HM-8404 replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    HM-8404 replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    With many of the top tier nursing schools in the country offering them, and they are certified by the AACN tells me there must be something to it. I doubt a school is going to put their reputation on...

    HM-8404 replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    If that is the case why is the AMNP so successful? Someone with a BA in Art History can become a NP in 9

  5. Second Degree Nursing Programs-pre reqs

    HM-8404 replied to fcasteele10's topic in Alabama Nursing

    To enter a BSN program you must have pre-reqs complete, not so for an ADN. My understanding is lab science classes are only good for 5 years. I am not sure if that is true or not, just what I have...

  6. New to Alabama - UAB?

    HM-8404 replied to KDSkyy44's topic in Alabama Nursing

    UAB gets many applications for the SON. Many more than they have room for. Due to this reason I suggest you apply to more than just one program. As a transfer student you will not be guaranteed a seat...

  8. What a coincidence. . .every single student nurse who shadows me. . .

    HM-8404 replied to thesundowner's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with what a previous poster said. Some jobs that people want require an RN license, CRNA, FA, and NP. They are just taking the route required to achieve their career goals. I would imagine...

  9. Nursing Instructor Continuously Embarrassing Me

    HM-8404 replied to Jlseeze's topic in General Students

    This class is only one hour a week and he knows so much about you? In a one hour class how does he know who you talk to, or don't? I wonder what it is about you that has caught his attention? Is it a...

  10. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I know that the Corpsman rate does not make you eligible to move into a civilian nursing position. I knew this when I enlisted, hence why I am starting nursing school next month. The point I was...

  12. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I see you now nothing about flying. THe FAA requires all planes, both commercial and private to have enough fuel to reach their destination plus an additional 45 mins of fuel during the day and 1 hour...

  13. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    A CEO is not hired to care for patients. They are hired to run a company, which is what they are educated and trained to do. Do you really think a nurse or a doctor has the ability to run a hospital?...

  14. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I was replying to the post about the "green eyed monster" CEO's that caused the closing of a certain gov't funded hospital. The post office is RUN by the Federal Government. The 2006 law requires the...

  15. Hospital CEO Salaries: Are The Big Bucks Justified?

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Sounds like it may just be hard to find Gov't workers who are not corrupt. A CEO in a private hospital answers to a board of directors, in a gov't position they answer to over worked, understaffed...

  17. Crabs In The Barrel

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    When my Reserve unit was sent overseas I had nobody to run my business while I was gone. A customer service based business does not last if it has to be shut down for a year. I was not willing to go...

  18. Crabs In The Barrel

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    I took out a second mortgage on my home, cashed out my 401K, and took 100% of the risk to start an HVAC business in 1997. After almost 3 years of robbing Peter to pay Paul, paying many of my bills...

  19. Crabs In The Barrel

    HM-8404 replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    The "crab mentality" fits so many of life's situations. It can also happen among nursing students. I have been warned by several nurse friends that students that are not doing well or those that love...

  20. How to avoid conflicts with instructor.

    HM-8404 replied to kelli class of 2013's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Since you gave no details everything you are getting as a response is purely speculation. It very well may be the instructor is on break and wants a rest before classes start. She is not as excited...

  21. Virginia College RN program

    HM-8404 replied to redstepchild's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I would think long and hard about Virginia College Nursing program in Birmingham. The State Board of Nursing shows their 2010-2011 NCLEX pass rate was only 27.3%. They only had 22 students. That means...

  23. Why is Army medic experience not valued for New Grads applying for ER jobs?

    HM-8404 replied to armyemtbsn's topic in Emergency

    Many Corpsmen work in base hospitals and deal with all the patients you just described. They are not combat only. While on shore duty I dealt with service members from 17-60, their wives, kids and...

  24. You look too young to be a nurse

    HM-8404 replied to SwansonRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Try to come up with a funny answer. When I am asked, which is quite often, why I want to be a male nurse I just tell them because the surgery costs too much to be a female
