  1. Military Police to Nursing...

    mingorn replied to LadyBug0387's topic in Maryland Nursing

    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...

  5. Giving Morphine

    mingorn replied to jg24's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    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

  6. Marshall University rn-bsn

    mingorn replied to stepbystep12's topic in School, College Programs

  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...

  16. MDs dont own the physician title

    mingorn replied to platon20's topic in Doctoral Nursing Degrees

    Why would you want to be called Dr.? I think the only people who care are academia or people with massive inferiority complexes. Let the physicians have the term, they earned

    mingorn replied to VampyrSlayer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Beware though that I went to nursing school with six rad techs and they complained that not only could they not jobs but the ones they found were very low paying. Every hospital I have worked the. Rad...

  18. Really hating school right now...

    mingorn replied to pnkgirl25's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree that you should take a job that makes you happy! With that being said the scope of a LVN is VERY limited so the places you will most likely work will be clinics and LTCs. The jobs you want are...

    mingorn replied to swirlo's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    mingorn replied to SailorWifey's topic in Government, Military

    I am not sure about a contract but there are laws in place that allow you to join the military for up to five years and still keep your job. It's worth looking into. I think it's called the SSRA of...

    mingorn replied to nyrn310's topic in Men in Nursing

    The area I live in (WV) does have a huge shortage. I hired straight into an ICU and had multiple job offers. Nobody in my class who was seeking a job had any trouble finding one. I think it is all...
