  1. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    DeLySh replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Do you really think that any money I have (or anything else I have) is a result of luck? I worked really hard and sacrificed much so that I could be lucky. FWIW, I believe that to get "my money's...

  2. will universal healthcare ( in the usa) cut RN pay?

    DeLySh replied to Trauma_Team_1's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    This is where I have a problem. It would be nice if everyone were to contribute, but as it stands now in this country, those with families (read: only people with minor children) and lower incomes...

  3. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    i believe llu is one of the best programs out there. they truly care about your success while not babying you at the same time. there is a way to work everything out if need be. i took the nclex in...

  4. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    yams, I didn't receive an email but feel free to ask here. Is there something specific you wanted to know that I haven't addressed, yet? I am still a student there, only now I'm in the graduate...

  5. Aspirate Always?

    DeLySh replied to Emma123's topic in General Nursing

    In school we were told that it was our preference to aspirate or not. But (here comes a dumb question I never thought to ask) what do you do if you aspirate and get blood? Do you readjust your...

  6. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    DeLySh replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Ok. This is something that has confused me for a while and I've never gotten an answer. Does the other laboring woman get charged for the tray she never even laid eyes on? And if her stay is...

  7. NICU filling with miscarriages

    DeLySh replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Wow!!

  8. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    You are very welcome. I apologize for the length but I am really passionate about the program. As for the essay, just write from the heart. That's exactly what I did. They are trying to get a feel...

  9. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    Aleks, I definitely feel that it was worth it!!! I already had a BA in Biology so I was able to bypass much of the bachelor's requirements as I had already completed them. I started the program in...

  10. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    I spent roughly $55,000 at Loma Linda to complete the program. I started in January of 2005 and finished in June of 2007, took a class over one of the summers and took Spring of 2006 off for personal...

  11. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    Tazzi, I'm not exactly sure, but, it was explained to me that they are stimulants in some way. (I'm still confused.) Maybe someone else can answer that question more accurately. I never felt as...

  12. Need Loma Linda University Feedback

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated on June 10th, 2007. I didn't live on campus (as many of the students didn't) and I don't subscribe to the SDA belief system (I am Catholic) but it was a fabulous program. Yeah, it...

    DeLySh replied to KOCMOHABT's topic in General Nursing

    I just graduated from Loma Linda University. What would you like to know?

  14. CEOs outa touch, nurses to blame for not letting them know

    DeLySh replied to oramar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    You know, that makes a lot of sense but is no excuse. I just don't get a CEO that won't come out of his/her office to see what is going on in the business he/she is running. Makes no sense to me....

  15. CEOs outa touch, nurses to blame for not letting them know

    DeLySh replied to oramar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    um ... ok I guess it's the teller's responsibility to make sure the bank's CEO knows, too? Why is the healthcare field sooooooooooooo different when it comes to business as compared to corporate...

  16. Nurse-Run Hospital? Why not?

    DeLySh replied to kenny b's topic in General Nursing

    My first question is how do you get started? Do you get a huge group of nurses together and pool $$ for the building and start up costs? Do you have to form a corporation and get a loan or ??? I'm...

  17. Calling in sick??

    DeLySh replied to LUVtxNursing's topic in General Nursing

    I know this will probably ruffle a few feathers but I wanted to jump in with a different point of view. From an employer's point of view, the more you call out, the more unreliable you become. The...

  18. need help remembering mnemonic for IV needles

    DeLySh replied to Tnurse3329's topic in General Students

    Do you have to memorize them? I just read the labels. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

  19. How do you deal with seeing a dead body?

    DeLySh replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you both very much. You know, yesterday was the first time I actually felt useful as a student. I always feel as if I'm in the way of the real nurses. Yesterday was so different. It was a...

  20. How do you deal with seeing a dead body?

    DeLySh replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to be worried about that too. Last year, my baby died shortly after birth. It was the first body I had ever seen and touched. Holding her and knowing that she was a person made something in...

  21. Universal coverage for pregnant women and children = 9 days of DOD spending

    DeLySh replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    i'm really curious to know how this dollar amount for each family represents a percentage of their annual income. i don't doubt that the hagen family would love to be getting the same break at the...

  22. Funniest Complaint on Press Ganey Scores

    DeLySh replied to nursebrandie28's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think that Press Ganey does surveys on themselves? I would imagine not. What would happen if the front line staff went ahead and offered their own opinions via email or telephone calls...

  23. Washington State Requirements

    DeLySh posted a topic in Washington Nursing

    Does Washington require that all RN's have a bachelor's? I'm looking to be licensed in the state so I can travel and noticed that they kept saying "applicants shall have a bachelor's degree." Does...
