  3. OHHH The Arrogance of Some Doctors!!

    HealthyRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree with Mandy. The patient's is paying to see the physician. His calls should be answered by a secretary, who can pull him aside if the situation is urgent. This OB was completely...

    HealthyRN replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Check out the CRNA forum. There is no shortcut for a CRNA program. All require at least one year of critical care experience. Some require two or more

  6. Professor shortage

    HealthyRN replied to 1Tulip's topic in Post Graduate Students

    BSN-PhD programs are coming up everywhere. In Ohio, we have one at Ohio State and Case Western. I am graduating with a BSN in 2006 and I am planning on taking this route for a PhD. I'm really...

  8. Tom Cruises' take on Psychiatry

    HealthyRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in Psychiatric

    On the Today Show this morning, they had a follow-up from the interview and the controversy that it sparked. They invited two psychiatrists, one who is the president of the APA and one who is a...

  9. Tom Cruises' take on Psychiatry

    HealthyRN replied to Katydidit34's topic in Psychiatric

    Well, he is entitled to his opinion. However, I can't imagine why a national news program would dedicate a significant amount of time for an actor, and not an authority on the subject, to discuss his...

    HealthyRN replied to GrnHonu99's topic in Ohio Nursing

    I'm originally from East Palestine, which is northeast of East Liverpool. I'm in Columbus now, going to Ohio State. I have a year left and I want to be a psych nurse (I think :)

  11. Medication via peg

    HealthyRN replied to Carlos Casteneda's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm still in nursing school and we learned to administer everything separately, because if the tube should become plugged, you must know what has went down and what hasn't. If you were to mix...

  12. Anyone considering BSN-PhD program?

    HealthyRN replied to HealthyRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you for your responses. My lack of clinical experience is one reason why I have been hesitant. If I were to pursue this program, I would work part-time as a nurse for two years and as a nurse...

  13. Rant - Scientology and Anti-Meds

    HealthyRN replied to TCASII's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with CaroLadyBelle. Tom Cruise should not have publicly confronted Brook Shields about the use of psych meds. However, he is only one member of the CoS, and we shouldn't stereotype all...

  14. Have any NPs considered med school?

    HealthyRN replied to HealthyRN's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I'm not sure what you mean exactly by "advanced placement". It may be somewhat helpful in being accepted to a residency in family practice, but I am sure that your medical school record and...

  15. Financial aid questions

    HealthyRN replied to shellybelly's topic in General Students

    I have been picked for verification (for the FASFA) 3 out of 4 years and they have never asked for bank account statements. I just had to sent in all W2s and tax info. There is really no way they...

  16. Any psych NPs with their own practice?

    HealthyRN replied to malusport's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    I would love to know the answer to this question. I'm interested in becoming a psych NP. Does anyone even know of someone who owns their own psych NP

  17. What are the pros of getting your BSN?

    HealthyRN replied to browsing's topic in General Students

    Nurses who work in clinics/doctor's offices typically get paid much less than those who work in hospitals. However, for some people, the benefits (regular hours, no weekends/holidays) and reduced...

  18. tips for sophmore going into clinicals

    HealthyRN replied to leslie56's topic in General Nursing

    What kind of a floor will you be on? We started out on a med-surg floor and practiced basic skills- transfers, vital signs, bed baths, etc. It was mostly CNA skills. I'm in a 4-yr BSN program....

  19. Getting into nursing school(scared) for mental health nursing

    HealthyRN replied to moon30's topic in Psychiatric

    Don't get too stressed out about math. In my opinion, the math involved in nursing is not incredibly difficult- there is just no room for errors! If you already have a bachelor's degree, you may...

  20. What was or is your tuition for NS

    HealthyRN replied to anfe's topic in General Nursing

    I attend a large public 4-year university. Estimated tuition is about $8,000/yr. With books, supplies, food, and housing expenses, I would say that it costs a little over $22,000/yr. I have been...

  21. Shoes...omg my feet are in heaven!!

    HealthyRN replied to RainEdayWoman's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    As far as the Crocs go...I must be the only one who doesn't really like these all that well. Granted, I do not own a pair and I have not worn them around all day! However, I tried them on in the...

  22. RN (AA) versus Master's Entry RN

    HealthyRN replied to mika_sf's topic in Nursing Career

    I just wanted to add that most direct entry MSN programs do not lock you into a speciality right away. For the first year or so you are taking general classes toward obtaining your RN. Many students...

  23. Nurses in Sports

    HealthyRN replied to begalli's topic in Nursing Career

    I do think that there would be a place in nursing for your daughter. Nursing has endless opportunities and there are many directions that your daughter could go with her career. She could look into...

  24. BSN and Foreign Language Requirements

    HealthyRN replied to land64shark's topic in General Nursing

    My BSN program does not have a foreign language requirement, which is unfortunate. I believe nurses should have that exposure. I took Spanish because I believe that it will be useful, but it only...

  25. SWEATY PALMS.....what's the cure??

    HealthyRN replied to eezee's topic in General Nursing

    The above article is a good example of why you need to be very careful from where you obtain information about hyperhydrosis. That physician is a thoracic surgeon promoting ETS
