  1. when will i receive my liecence?

    traumahawk99 replied to tobelpn's topic in Florida Nursing

    Florida is now running over 30 days before they even look at a license for endorsement. As in the application just sits in a bin untouched. It's beyond maddening. So that temporary work permit...

  2. So I gave them my resume...

    traumahawk99 replied to elizabells's topic in Nursing Career

    the only thing you can do is wait, and perhaps send out a few more applications to other hospitals. i wouldn't expect HR to move quickly, since they typically don't. good

  3. 'Wanna finish the EC program in 6 months...is it possible?

    traumahawk99 replied to Destinee's topic in Online Distance Learning

    i got a cpne test date in less than 3 months by requesting a cancellation. so i'd say it's very possible to do that. as far as finishing the entire program in 6 months, i don't think that's very...

    i think if you're finished and just waiting for graduation processing, you can get out of that fee without much

  5. Excelsior Nurses

    traumahawk99 replied to NursePerson's topic in General Nursing

    if you pass the nclex and have a license in another state, florida will endorse you, period. it doesn't matter where you went to school, or that you were a paramedic. you cannot sit for nclex in...

  6. mosby's cat test for nclex

    traumahawk99 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    well, i paid the 40 bucks and took it. it was much harder than i thought. all sorts of stuff i never heard of, and i'm guessing like mad. then the test stops after 75 questions and says i've got a...

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    i said you can be so closeminded in your faith that you accept preposterous evidence as "truth", because you have an emotional need to be a healer. that's a possibility. i didn't state it as a...

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    i've looked at a fair amount of the evidence, none of which crosses the threshold for me to believe in tt as a rational nurse carrying out my duty to base my practice on evidence. i'd honestly have...

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    what about an open mind to evidence based practice? you can be so closeminded in your faith that you accept preposterous evidence as "truth", because you have an emotional need to be a healer. none...

    in the first place, this is anecdotal evidence... which proves nothing. if we accepted anecdotal evidence as proof, we'd believe in everything from aliens to witches to ghosts. how does this prove...

    after seeing how tt is science, i've decided to build a bridge to the moon using cans of cheese whiz. after all, the whiz is in a can, and it comes out when you press the button. therefore i can...

    i'd call that fluff... not science. and i really doubt the physician relies on ceremony to make an antibiotic work. i do keep forgetting that all we really need are sugar pills and normal saline!...

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    i'm still waiting for that explanation of quantum physics which proves that tt is a science. i'm dissapointed that no one has explained this here in a logical and coherent manner. if i understood a...

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    it's one thing to teach about tt as a phenomena, and it's another thing altogether to teach students that it is a factual and scientific method of healing. i have no problem with the former. i think...

    heh. yes, thankfully! go JCAHO! tim, while there are nurses like you who stand up to this sort of mystical nonsense becoming codified as nursing knowledge, there is hope for this profession. i...

    hmmm... just because she's martha rogers doesn't make her theories fact. it's not about a popularity contest. there are plenty of dissenting voices. according to nursing theorist myra levine: "The...

    why wouldn't it be worth looking at? there is no need to apologize for that link any more than a link to the some institute of alternative healing's experiments which supposedly support

    traumahawk99 replied to traumahawk99's topic in Post Graduate Students

    in short, i think the nanda diagnosis of "disturbed energy field" should be deleted and has no place whatsoever in the body of knowledge we call nursing. i've seen nurses with huge egos holding...
