   mingorn replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Maryland

   I used the Post 911 GI Bill for my undergraduate degree. It is a great program that allowed me to graduate debt free. Be aware though that initial processing times take forever. As example I first applied in August and received a back pay check for t...

   So they shouldn't be comfortable?

5. Giving Morphine

   mingorn replied to jg24's topic in LPN/LVN

   I think that if they were hospice and it was a scheduled dose you should have given it. Once a chronically ill patient is in pain it is twice as hard to get them out of pain. Just my opinion though

   mingorn replied to stepbystep12's topic in School Programs

   All the nursing classes are online but the University limits the amount of credits you can transfer. I would check out Ohio University. They are online and cheaper plus classes are 5 weeks long.

    OP, I would have fired you also. Never use food as a weapon. This child may never trust another nurse.

11. Bad Job Market? Be a NURSE! (Insert eye roll here)

    mingorn replied to BloomNurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    This kind of thread really gets on my nerves. It's more bellyaching and complaining that other people have the audacity to become a nurse. What would you have thought if people had gone through these lengths to discourage you? I know in SOME areas o...
