I like my job and i am not going to quit if we go to all white. Yet, I feel compelled to state my opinion because of how I feel about this matter, but I want to get other opinions on this matter before I precede. Maybe I am the one behind the times? ...

Who should I believe? I am believing my motherly instinct and not letting him have oranges until he can tell me that he does not feel well after eating an orange. If I ingest any type of orange, I break out in severe hives, get an excruciating migrai...

Generally, how long would you have to work in one specialty before being able to transfer to something a little better? Thanks to anyone who can give any input. Have a good weekend! Hi, I graduate in 11 days and I was hired directly into the ICU. ...

I live in san luis obispo....great place, but very expensive to buy a house in. The average price of a house here is over 650,000. I love Sierra Vista...I just went to a recruiting thing with them today. They are not currently hiring into ICU or P...

I have never heard the term brittle diabetes for DI...it has always, in my tons of visits to endocrinologists and doctors and camps and seminars, been used to describe a type 1 diabetic who has blood sugars that swing easily and without apparent reas...

And how's the pump? I have not used it yet but they are recommending it since I have been a brittle diabetic for so long. My son is also very brittle. He can go from 40-400 in one day, easily...however, overall, the pump has kept him stable over al...

I agree. Making $90K with a ton of overtime (i.e. in Texas) and making $90K as your base salary (in Cali) is not the same thing. It's obvious that California RN's do make more than Texas RN's because of unions. :typing However, 90 thousand in Califor...

I agree. And at the hospital I will be working at, I will have no choice. What bothers me the most is that our unions donate money--paritally MY money-- to political causes that I completely disagree with. Our last election had a ballat that faile...

i graduate from cuesta in may. i took phys with ann malicheski (sp?), who is probably the best teacher i have ever had in my life. i took micro from evy and anatomy from pete peterson. the program itself is well...i can't really say a lot till i g...

I did not receive the series, as I am very uncomfortable about the ingredients in vaccines. I personally feel that they are responsible for other illness in our society. However, I'm one of those "crazy-non-vaccine-lunatics" who, in my experience, ...

My son also can swing like this...he's always been very fragile. If 0.5 of a unit of insulin can make up to a 200 point difference in his blood sugar...you should see how indepth his pump is set to try to keep him normal. The other day, he ate 4 ri...

What about risk for injury r/t affects of drug over dose or r/t increased clotting time 2 to coumadin overdose amb coumadin levels at such and such. Cassi

996...in my 7 year old son. He could walk and talk, but he wasn't looking too good. He could barely walk and kept falling asleep, but he was talking to me most of the time. I had decided that I was not going to leave the doctor till they told me w...

Hi, I'm a nursing student in the USA. I only have 1 1/2 more semesters to go. Anyway, my husband was born and raised in England and is also thinking of going back to school to be a nurse. Here in America, he'd have to take all of his pre req class...

I go to Cuesta college...it's an Associates program. Not sure where you'd go for a BN. It is paradise here and that's why people pay the big prices. Good luck, cassi

I live in San Luis Obispo and I'll be graduating in June. The starting nurses salary here is about 23.75 an hour. It's okay, but you have to remember that the house of prices here are outragous. We own a 1400 square foot condo in SLO and it's wort...

I'm starting as a student nurse intern tomorrow (half way through nursing school) and they pay at the hospital I'll be at 1.00 more for pms and I think 2 more for noc shift...not sure about that one cause I'll be PMs. It's not a lot, but then our ar...

[quote=Celiabs It's one thing to stand at a bar wearing them, or accept a Grammy wearing them. But in a nursing setting...? I don't see how low rider pants are synomous with inappropriate dress. I wear low rider scrub pants because I have stomach pr...

I'm sorry you're going through a hard time. If it were me, just going by MY gut when reading your post, I'd say you need to take care of yourself first. Nursing is such a giving career and you sound like you're at the end of your rope in the giving...

Speech and an online humanities class (Fundamentals of Music). I have two more semesters in my nursing program, but I need both of the above classes to graduate next May. I actually don't have to have the humanities class to get my RN degree and si...
