  2. Future of marijuana/medical marijuana in nursing?

    In an outpatient setting, the physician would write the Rx, hand it to the patient, and my responsibility as a nurse would be zero. I guess I could potentially provide patient education, but like any...
  3. New idea for Glade: The stool scent collection featuring GI Bleed, C-Diff, and Fresh
  4. First Job As A Nurse! HELP!

  6. switch from medical school to nursing?

    Having a baby when your goals are not shared by your spouse is asking for trouble. You will start making a salary during your residency. Will your wife be happy in the end with your earning potential...
  7. Words You Hate

    It needs an extra L also.
  8. Nursing agency opportunity

    Interesting that an employer would ask you to be "on the clock" with no pay for 2 weeks. What happens if you are injured during this time? I don't see them doing the right thing and you would be...
  9. The Person Vue Trick "2016"

    Since you spoke directly with a Pearson View employee who advised you that the results are not always accurate and you should wait 48 hours, why would you expect us to answer differently? Many...
  10. Hospital interview will make me late to work

    Wait until the very last second to call in saying your cat has a hair ball stuck in its throat and you'll be late because you have to save kitty from an early, tragic death. Why not tell current...
  11. Do I have a shot at an ABSN program?

    50%. Either you have a chance or you don't. But then again, I got a B in stats so maybe it's less. Or more. If there is no such program it's 0%. If you don't apply to such a program it's 0% (I'm sure...
  12. The every year Snow thread

    Vitamin C does indeed melt snow and here's the scientific proof: Ingest large quantity of vitamin C (Extra vitamin C is excreted in urine) Urinate into a snow bank Snow melts proving the vitamin C...
  13. Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    Let me get this straight. They are threatening to withhold raises of the entire unit unless they have a 95% compliance rate to an illegal act (working off the clock and giving your time for free)?...
  14. New RN ready to give up

    OP, don't think that working in a clinic will solve all of your problems. Phone triage requires excellent clinical skills because patients call with issues that require you to know what questions to...
  15. positive for pot

    Well Athlete, to the OP, I think she is experiencing the worst that can happen and a case of the munchies it isn't. It has been my experience attending lectures by the OBN members, they do not...
  16. lost license, now what

    Sounds like a case of blackmail or conflict of interest on the therapist's part. I can see recommending treatment, but why only at his facility? Is this the only facility and he's the only therapist...
  17. passing the nclex state boards

    What have you done to improve your chances of passing each time? Have you tried tutoring, a review course, or contacting your school for help? Not sure I can offer any help or encouragement. At...
  18. Insurance companies

    Insurance through employers or purchased as an individual plan is not the same universally. I'll use Blue Cross only as a familiar name as an example. Pt A works for company X and has Blue Cross that...
  19. an 'easier' specialty

    It's not hard to say it, it's just that your opinion about what is hard is just that--your opinion based on your experience and your experience only. You have to take into account that some ERs may...
  20. How do YOU handle these situations?

    I'd call. There's always the chance that the MD would want blood cultures, a urine culture, or chest X
  21. double major

    Definitely not writing. Why waste credits on another associate's when you could take extra classes toward your
  22. I didn't know I'd be running a freaking daycare center

    Are you working for an agency? If so, find out their policy on unattended minor siblings and at what age they can be left alone unsupervised. Find out exactly who you are responsible for and make...
  23. Nursing in USA or Philippines?

    So you are not a nurse but know all about the hurdles foreign educated nurses face in all 50 states as well as the economic recovery and hiring status of each state? I was not aware that Texas was...
  24. Nursing in USA or Philippines?

    I know 10 people from my school who passed the NCLEX on the first try. That does not mean my school had a 100% passing rate. When the actual data was released, one person from the 106 people who...
