  1. Tired of discrimination

  2. increased statism for nurses

    What, no pre-employment drug screen too? What kind of position is this? I assume by the forum you are posting on that you are not yet in nursing school. These types of pre-employment screenings are...
  3. Don't go into nursing school if_____

    Now, now, if YOU get a "time of the month" then everyone will want one. Management can't show favorites so you'd better just get that idea out of your head right now!
  4. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Thanks. I'm trying to prove you can teach an old dog new tricks. I'm still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. I just turned 54, have been an RN for 33 years and hope to work...

  6. How old were you when you started nursing school?

    Started my diploma RN program at 18 and graduated at 21. Went back for my BSN at 51 and graduated at 53. Plan to start MSN around age 56 and finish before age
  7. Don't go into nursing school if_____

    Don't go into nursing school if: You think that being a nurse is an easy job that provides job security and a fat paycheck. You think you will get a Monday through Friday day shift- no nights, no...
  8. Chemistry anyone??

  9. Harassed at Saint Anselm College

    It is probably not a wise decision to post your disdain for a school that has dismissed you while you are trying to prove you deserve readmission. Public message boards are public and searchable. The...
  10. NEED HELP DECIDING

  11. Thoughts on designer resumes?

    Many places in my area only accept applications online. In some instances, if you uploaded the example, it would be different all right. It would be a scrambled illegible mess! You wouldn't get...
  12. Cross-Contamination, Etc, Slight Vent

    The DD (developmentally disabled) population is a high-risk population for abuse (including physical and sexual). Since most of your residents function around age 5 and are not very verbal, I would...
  13. Chemistry at Clovis

    I always emailed my advisor the exact course description (copied and pasted) from the course I planned to take. They forwarded it to the appropriate person for approval and I got an email reply. The...
  14. Charting for Home Health Pediatric Patient

    Think of charting as justifying why you are there and why this child needs nursing care. Don't forget to include assessing, teaching, and responses to interventions including pain assessments. If the...
  15. Questions re: OU Rn-Bsn online nursing classes

    I took them together because that was the only way I could get all of the courses in to graduate at the end of the summer. It was a very heavy load. Had I not had a lot of background in clinical...
  16. Tuition Reimbursement

    Be aware that at many facilities, tuition reimbursement means just that. You pay up front and they reimburse you at the end of the semester. I did this kind of program and was still out of pocket...
  17. I hate my job!!!!!!!!

  18. Retired. ;-). Otherwise, plan to pay your dues or pick another
  19. After 10 weeks, my biggest fear has come true...

    Katie92 kudos to you for sticking it out! Your instructor and nurse, by constantly apologizing to you, acknowledged that you were in a tough situation. I have been a nurse for over 30 years and...
  20. Fl13student, I hear your frustration in your post. I believe though that until you know the whole story as to why your instructors feel you should not continue at this point in the program, our...
  21. Ascorbic and a 1 year old

    In the future, to avoid confusion, a physician should order a drug in the mg they want the patient to have, not the ml. If the ml are specified, the drug concentration should also be mentioned as...
  22. Asthma death in Philly school

    I agree with Jolie. This story is tragic. Saying that the fault lies with school because they don't have a nurse doesn't add up with dad's actions. The article states, "Asked whether he regretted not...

    My diploma came today. I'm officially
