  1. I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Breatholife's topic in General Students

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

  2. I failed my school drug test. Am I finished forever?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Breatholife's topic in General Students

    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...

  3. Night shift exercise routine?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to JVoEDrn's topic in Health, Stress Management

    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...

  4. Miami Dade College Spring 2016 nursing program admission

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Futurenurse876's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  5. how long are crushed meds good for?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to ButterflyBreath's topic in Patient Medications

    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...

  6. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

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

  7. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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...

  8. Thinking about leaving nursing school

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Student1713's topic in General Students

    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...

  9. How to Get a 4.0 In Nursing School (The Easy Way)

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    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...

  10. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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...

  11. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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...

  13. Thinking about leaving nursing school

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Student1713's topic in General Students

    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...

  14. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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...

  15. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

    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

  16. Conestoga RPN Students: Have any of you successfully refused the flu shot?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Ally Smith's topic in Canada Nursing Programs

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

  17. How to Get a 4.0 In Nursing School (The Easy Way)

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Randy RN ASN's topic in General Students

    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...

  18. What would a single payer system look like?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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....

  19. What would a single payer system look like?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  20. What would a single payer system look like?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  21. What would a single payer system look like?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Xlorgguss's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    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...

  22. Miami Dade College Spring 2016 nursing program admission

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to Futurenurse876's topic in School, College Programs

    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...

  23. Unpaid Mandatory Meetings?

    Eru Ilúvatar replied to BiohazardBetty's topic in General Nursing

    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...
