  1. Tuition, how much is too much

    enuf_already replied to hopefulkim99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    This is another reason you don't want $100,000 student loan. If you have a mountain of student loan debt already and take on an additional $100,000 (even over 30 years) you'll be paying off a loan...

  2. What type of nursing job can I get with ICU experience

    enuf_already replied to NURSEJSS's topic in Nursing Career

    I think the bigger question is what kind of nursing job can you get with only 5 months of experience? It is a difficult transition to move from student nurse to new graduate nurse. You are not...

  3. ITT Tech?

    enuf_already replied to MA_Davis's topic in School, College Programs

    But the computer doesn't shut off as passed until you've completed 75 questions minimum, so passing at 60 questions can't happen. You would not know how many "experimental questions" you got out of...

  4. License Revocation

    enuf_already replied to Joemwaush11's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    What reason did they give for the revocation? Is it listed as permanently revoked? In my state, a permanent revocation means just that. When you attempted to get your license, did you report your...

  5. Delegation question

    enuf_already replied to blueskyy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Did your employer have a suggestion about what they thought you should have done to keep everyone safe? Short of cloning yourself, you can't be in 2 places at one time. It would be interesting to...

  6. Poll, what would you like to read about?

    enuf_already replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    #6 without eating only 900 calories a day and working out every waking

  7. Innovative Peds Clinical Experiences?

    enuf_already replied to PNCB's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    OP, you mentioned local public schools. What about private schools/programs for children with autism or other special needs/behavioral challenges? There are also schools run by local Boards of...

  8. Can I ask to work exclusively day shifts?

    enuf_already replied to kassiahgp's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sitting here reading these posts wondering if people really think clinics are 9-5 jobs? Yes, the majority are day shift M-F, but some start at 7:30 and the nurse leaves after the last patient is...

  9. Paparazzi at work?

    enuf_already replied to Adele_Michal7's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just wait until someone accidentally photographs some sort of PHI along with the offender. Then you have a HIPAA violation. Not something I'd want stored on my cell phone. Try explaining why you have...

  10. Contraindicated?

    enuf_already replied to Danielle12684's topic in Patient Medications

    Patient could actually still be impacted and leaking liquid stool around the impaction. Is the patient still on narcotics? Are they aware enough to feel like they still need to go? How long has it...

  11. Nurses smoking weed?

    enuf_already replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    Just do a search for the recent posts about nurses who tested positive for weed and the anxiety they are having about potentially losing everything. If those posts don't keep you from using, then...

  12. Thinking about quitting (yes, one of these)

    enuf_already replied to aperry245's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure how you plan to eventually be a midwife if you are having panic attacks at the hospital. Grad school will be just as stressful and being responsible for delivering babies--well, let me...

  13. Angry..

    enuf_already replied to JellyDonut's topic in Critical Care

    If you've never worked in this facility, how do you know you could run rings around everyone? If it is a small town, telling someone off in a healthcare facility could make it nearly impossible for...

  14. 04/09 WILTW: Confused LOLs

    enuf_already replied to cracklingkraken's topic in General Nursing

    Hugs to you

  15. Is tipping allowed?

    enuf_already replied to KRVRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yes...but I have the time (wink

  16. How to get into developmental disability nursing?

    enuf_already replied to KDalmostRN's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    Call your local board of DD. If you have a children's hospital near you, look there. Consider volunteering at a special needs summer camp in your area (not necessarily as a nurse) to find out where...

  17. A Day in the Life of an RN?

    enuf_already replied to alybcupcakes's topic in General Nursing

    Skills needed can vary depending on what type of nursing you choose to practice. The best skill is good communication with your team (including MDs, NPs, patients and families and coworkers). I have...

  18. Is tipping allowed?

    enuf_already replied to KRVRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They'd lower our wage to $1.50 an hour and tell us to make up the difference with tips. That'd teach us to use those customer service friendly

  19. The film: Vaxxed.

    enuf_already replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    LadyFree, I meant no offense to you in my post. I realized that you were talking about genetic testing regarding pregnancy while my post was after they were born. My point was that even with genetic...

  20. Masters Degree with no experience in nursing ?

    enuf_already replied to LStgo's topic in General Nursing

    Anything you want to do. What are your

  21. The film: Vaxxed.

    enuf_already replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Autism is a behavioral diagnosis. Fragile X is a genetic diagnosis. When kids are diagnosed with an ASD, we usually do genetic testing to see if they have any genetic disorders. Fragile X is but one...

  22. The film: Vaxxed.

    enuf_already replied to macawake's topic in General Nursing

    Last time I checked, there was no test for autism that could pre-determine whether a child was affected in utero. There is no blood test for autism. I work in the field and have a child with autism....

  23. Supervisor nit picks again

    enuf_already replied to betweenus64's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Betweenus64, you made the comment that it takes a great supervisor to guide you to be a great nurse. I actually disagree. In my career, I've had one great supervisor. One in over 35 years and I only...

  24. NRSE 4600 Starting on Aug 26

    enuf_already replied to MSTRN's topic in Ohio University

    Hiker--I graduated from this program several years ago and requirements for each class constantly changed. Go by your syllabus and rubric because it may be very different from the one in 2013. You...

  25. Mean Nursing Facilitators

    enuf_already replied to Butterfly_Light's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    Likely for the same reason that some students are over-confident and think they know more than they actually do. Of course the nurses teaching you demand perfection. In nursing, mistakes cost lives...
