  3. ekg certification worth the time and money?

    mmccluskey replied to northmississippi's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to say that they are fairly expensive courses, and often provided by your employer. I also agree that if it is not something you use on a regular basis, it is easy to forget it all! I...

  4. RN License plate

    mmccluskey replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    So I'm thinking that it might be appropriate in CA, then...but it's still not legal in NY...it just struck me as really funny/stupid...and to the poster who commented about the car belonging to the...

  5. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    mmccluskey replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    My last contact with Professor ****** was on 9/13, when she emailed me back and stated that she would "consider my request and discuss it with the other professors." Prior to that, I have exchanged a...

  6. RN License plate

    mmccluskey replied to esrun00's topic in General Nursing

    So I was parking in the lot at a facility where I was interviewing...parked next to a car with the plate that read "420 RN" The "RN" was the special plate designation. Seriously?!?!?!? Even if it...

    mmccluskey replied to Shara2RN2012's topic in University of Texas Arlington

  8. UTA Online RN-BSN---how do the clinicals work?

    mmccluskey replied to heddi's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I live in NY and will be done with UTA RN-BSN in December (3 nursing classes left), and there have been no actual clinicals to date. I have also heard that there is some shadowing necessary for the...

  9. Two Job Offers.... Which to Take?

    mmccluskey replied to DemosthenesRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I'm guessing that you have limited experience at this point, based on your initial post, so my answer was geared towards the thought that med-surg experience is absolutely INVALUABLE at the beginning...

  10. LPN-CRNA

    mmccluskey replied to Court85's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    As a former LPN who is now an RN working towards her BSN, I can say that it can be a lot of work. Many of my classmates spend a much greater amount of time than I do working on classwork. I think...

  11. Will my criminal record keep me from getting licensed

    mmccluskey replied to Steener83's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I think that it all depends on the standards of the BON in the state where you apply for a license. One thing that I can say for sure is that a friend of mine just got her RN, after a h/o DWI several...

  12. Class ring?

    mmccluskey replied to ldawn79's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I have a beautiful gold ring from my first BA...and I did wear it for a couple of years. I am actually pretty sure that I can send it back to Jostens to get it changed to a BSN, but honestly, I have...

  13. Online Pathophysiology and Pharmacology

    mmccluskey replied to PaTexasGal's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I really wish I had seen this thread about a year ago!!! I would have LOVED to take patho and pharm, instead of the BS electives I

  14. Leadership and Assessment together?

    mmccluskey replied to MBrickle's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    I think that if you were comfortable doubling and tripling during the rest of the courses, know that it won't be a walk in the park, but that it is possible, IF you have a lot of time on your hands...

  15. mask or flu shot?

    mmccluskey replied to lilangel6828's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Honestly, I have always gotten the flu shot as an adult, especially after having kids. As a nurse, I feel like it's kind of important, even in the chance of contracting and transmitting the flu to...

  16. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    mmccluskey replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    @ Meriwhen, So I do get what you are saying, but in my case the difference between an 89.63 and a 90 overall was 2 points for this assignment. I truly hope it does not affect anyone else's final...

  18. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    mmccluskey replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Meriwhen, I agree. My point in posting all of this is that if the issue was as widespread as the coach's email to the class indicates, AND she was even unclear enough to improperly grade the papers...

  19. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    mmccluskey replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    ldawn79, I am merely letting everyone know what has transpired, as I believe it to be very wrong. And now it's affecting the entire class, or at least my coach's group?!?!? The courses are (by far)...

  20. NURS 4465 - Vulnerable Populations (starting 8/12/13)

    mmccluskey replied to Meriwhen's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    Hi all, I am also in this class, and I just noticed that there are discussion blogs about each class. I am writing tonight about some emails that were exchanged yesterday and today between myself...
