No we dont have to as far as I am informed. Many school and workplaces will require a drug test, but thats about it.

You may need to move. By the way its illegal for anyone to have access to your drug test results without your consent. Every new place you go will do a new drug test. Just stay clean and apply to a different program. Having a positive drug test does ...

Maybe do 30 min to 1hr before or after your shift... Or do a pre-shift and an after shift workout if you wanna do a bit more hardcore. It will jumpstart your shift and keep you awake, and later on it will help cool off from your shift and get you cal...

What do you mean by sample sessions? Like the schedule? It varies depending on what classes you pick, they have different times for each class. You can work during the program, but make sure is not one of those jobs that have no flexibility, because ...

I dont feel comfortable leaving medication crushed if it wont be administered within 10 min, less even if it will be over a whole weekend. I dont have a scientific rationale, I would just call it safe practice. Teach the caregiver how to properly cru...

What if the student is proven to be allergic to the vaccine? How is that the student fault at not following the rules?

You know stating an opinion its not starting a fight? You gave facts about the school, I gave my opinion on the possible illegality of what the school its doing. I never said yeah ignore the facts and go find a lawyer.

There is a whole section in the forum dedicated to the specialty of Psych Nursing, I would start by going there and reading. Since you are willing to further your education beyond the undergraduate level then also look into the PMHNP, that is the Nur...

For anatomy memorize each anatomical part and their function, for the physiology part try to understand how that body part or system works. Once you have that down you can start making associations and connecting body parts with physiological functio...

I concur with your point, and specially like you say the effectiveness of the vaccine is spotty at best. Keep in mind that this may be an uphill battle so I would look into alternatives. Most probably they already have their minds set into stone and ...

This would be fine if you said you didnt wanted to get vaccinated because whatever reason. But if the flu vaccine can kill or harm you in any way, it is discriminatory to deny a student admission because of it. I cant pull out of my hat exactly what ...

You have better chances of actually practicing in the field of psychology with a nursing degree than with a psych degree. Psych degrees at the bachelor level are dime a dozen ( without offending anyone who choose to do so), and the way to practice is...

If you have a valid medical reason that has been determined by a physician I would say you should have a case to bring to court if it needed to be. When we as a society do vaccinations we always foresee a margin for people who cant get them, and that...

Well that would be illegal, if you cant get a flu shot because it can kill you then you have a right to refuse. But you need an actual medical consultation about it. Good luck with your endeavors.

Why cant you take the shot? Medical reasons are the only valid ones being accepted at the moment.

These are amazing general tips. I would add to them to do as many practice questions as possible from any sources available. Nursing school questions are a thing of their own (which sometime go against common sense) , so the more prepared you are the...

But since having insurance was not mandatory (until the Health Care Reform law) people could choose not to have insurance so it would had been cheaper to be like that instead of having higher taxes. Now that if I am correct it is mandatory to have in...

Well it is partially by outcome, the patient has to be alive and at least free of any nosocomial infections I would say. But a big deciding factor in reimbursement is a survey that the patient receives that is then used to calculate reimbursement, he...

There may be some cost adjustments based on regional areas but it would be more uniform. I dont really know if it would change the quality of care and take the focus away from costumer service, since one payer is not the same that universal access. T...

That is very misinformed in your part. Yes there are longer wait times for certain non life threatening surgeries but is not a big grim landscape the way they like to make it seem from here. An emergency procedure will take place over a non emergency...

My bed making skills are mediocre, I love medication administration , so you will find something that is your forte. I didnt had a hard time because I had a great professor. I would recommend meeting with some classmates and practice in the lab a day...

Raises are not really protected under the law so that part is a little more shaky. I just wish that as a company profit increased grew part of it would trickle down among its members. I mean if they have no money then I can deal with it, but I mean n...

Thank you for your reply. Glad to hear you are in a supportive environment.
