Sorry you are devastated...time to regroup and find a solution. Are you saying that you are staying in the apartment through November? If so, look for a per diem at another hospital in the area. Not sure if you can get out of the breach of contra...

Wrote a ton of SOAPs and case studies while in RT program, but haven't had to deal with them in the clinical setting. I love being an RRT!!!!

If I was in your shoes I would document everything and call a meeting with this woman and management. Make sure you make it clear to your superior/s that you want to develop a better working relationship with your co-worker. You did a great job d...

Just a quick comment/suggestion (I am an RRT) make sure you use the settings that were recommended from your sleep study. BiPap/CPap machines are usually covered by insurance companies. I would only buy a machine if I didn't have insurance coverage...

Great advice!

I worked with someone who went to India through Project Hope. Here's a link: http://www.projecthope.org/joinhope/volunteer.asp

Don't know if it is legal, but I do know it isn't the smartest choice. The teacher/professor is now open to the rest of the class' gossip and claims of unfair treatment.

The rest of the hospital has blue scrubs that you obtain from a vending machine, just like in trauma.

You can't reapply - were you expelled? If so, there should be a paper trail that lead the Administration to make that decision. (Seems kind of harsh if there is only one documented incident.) You mentioned having a history of tardiness....have yo...

At this point, it seems like is it more important for you to be right - than it is to be a nurse. Let it go. I don't recall hearing any stories of people winning these types of lawsuits. They drag on for YEARS! What are you going to do while you a...

Hopefully you can retake that semester. Lesson learned. If you press the issue further, you may break some bridges. Good luck - sorry this has happened. I bet if you were on a busy unit, you wouldn't have been so tired.

Here's a link to a similar discussion. Seems like you will have to pay alot more than $700.... https://allnurses.com/forums/f164/new-york-presb-housing-323468.html

When I was a slave to acrylic nails and decided to take them off I used Nailtiques. It's a nail polish - kind of pricey (over ten dollars) but strengthened my real nails.

Well if your school won't let you take both...you will have to wait. I did it...wasn't difficult but I chose great professors. Good luck!

I am leaving for work in about one hour. After reading this, it will be easier to get through the night. It's been a tough week - lots of stressors. Thank you for putting this in your reply! I love my job, but when things get rough it makes it ha...

Let's say you do fail and have to retake the entire semester. Wouldn't you rather finish taking all of the exams to be better prepared the second time around? Go to clinicals and keep positive. Good luck.

It's unfortunate that there are people out there that spend time pointing the finger at others instead of just doing their jobs! I get annoyed at times because these "squeaky wheels" seem to get into management's ear. Always document to CYA. I wo...

If you don't want to take the train the other possibility is to jump on the 35 White Marsh bus. It's close enough to Hopkins. I personally feel safer in the Lexington Mkt area versus Hopkins.

You can take the train. Lexington Market straight to the final stop east bound to Hopkins.

I love the location. I turn the corner and I am at work! I don't have a car so I appreciate the ease of taking the light rail, bus or train. Everything is within walking distance. Wish there was a near by grocery store, but there is a ton of deliv...

Just to add to PageRespiratory!'s advice...we also have three board examinations compared to one for nursing. The program I graduated from was 5 semesters of clinicals, one more than the nursing program offered at the same school. I am so happy wit...

Glad to hear you found a place -think we are neighbors. I also chose to live in the Inner Harbor area...on Paca Street in the Inner Harbor Lofts. Got a discount too because my hospital owns the building. As far as hair salons, there are a bunch o...

I was thinking the same thing. If a patient is on an oscillator, they are far from stable. Might be easier to learn from an RT in the equipment room to get the basics down first.

I feel for you but have a question. Was this patient moved to another room during your break or on another shift? I have a hard time "placing blame" since this person has a history of getting out of bed unassisted. Accidents happen, but so far I ha...

Took me over a week of hitting the streets.....I found a SuperFresh market in Mt Vernon today! I am now leaning towards that neighborhood even though the Inner Harbor is closer to work. Give me hummus and I am so happy! Even though it was a small...
