  1. Taking 10-12 credits in 6 weeks possible?

    mhy12784 replied to BSNbeauty's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Depends entirely on how difficult the classes professors are, how much work ethic/free time you have, and what classes they are. That said I think its easily doable, especially if it is (as I presume)...

  2. Financial Independence And Nursing

    mhy12784 replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Nursing

    Being financially independent is far more about not being a moron (being responsible with your money and spending), then it is about how much $$$ you make (though more does help) You could easily...

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

  4. Lean in the OR

    mhy12784 posted a topic in Operating Room

    Just since theres so many new threads asking questions about the OR, and im learning about it in school. Has anyone experienced Lean (or six sigma, or lean six sigma, kanban, kaizen, 5s's etc) in the...

  5. Lean in the OR

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    Has anyone used any sort of lean (or similar) measures to improve charges ? I feel like the methodology we use is pretty ineffective and

  6. Lean in the OR

    mhy12784 replied to mhy12784's topic in Operating Room

    Shouldn't a chunk of that already be done anyway? I mean there should be a log for all items flashed anyway (usually with times and indicators) On time case starts, (which should be a part of normal...

  7. Nurse-Managed Protocols Improve Outpatient Care for Chronically Ill Patients

    mhy12784 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    Not to be a debby downer, but that's garbage science. The sample sizes they used were stupidly low, that absolutely nothing can be extrapolated from it. And And the specific protocols aren't shown,...

  8. Reps in the OR

    mhy12784 replied to ORRN4evr's topic in Operating Room

    Well at my hospital OR staff uniforms are one color, and they have like disposable outfits for reps which are an entirely different color (as well as red bouffants for reps) If reps are wearing the...

  10. views on overweight nurses

    mhy12784 replied to msmit108's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    All I'll say is if you are currently morbidly obese, and aren't used to having a job where you are used to being on your feet for exceedingly long periods of time, better start preparing yourself now...

  11. Staying afloat on a nurse's salary?

    mhy12784 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

  12. Tray organizers?

    mhy12784 posted a topic in Operating Room

    I'm curious, has anyone had any experience using tray organizers (or something to organize/standardize OR trays ) in their OR? At my hospital we use these large bulky old fashion trays containers...

  13. Plans for After Graduation?

    mhy12784 replied to Ketsia_xo's topic in General Students

    Personally I would take the NCLEX first I mean in NY where im from, its 45 days to retake the NCLEX (I think its 45 days for most states, no?) So IF you failed (statistically you're very unlikely to)...

  14. Being an agent for change in an organization

    mhy12784 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a relatively new nurse, but i do my best to be observant and to contribute as well as I can. One thing I've been wondering lately is how do you balance between wanting to help improve flaws in...

  15. Is it realistic to go into nursing with the ultimate goal of specializing?

    mhy12784 replied to RNtobe23's topic in General Nursing

    If you become an NP in psych youd be set

    mhy12784 replied to mee9mee9's topic in General Nursing

  18. Stony Brook Accelerated Nursing Class of 2015

    mhy12784 replied to spiritedkidd's topic in New York Nursing

    Its best to just call them and ask. Its usually not an issue if you need a class, and havent finished it but are enrolled in it IE I was in the 2 year program recently, and I started in September. I...

  19. New Health Unit Coordinator

    mhy12784 replied to Mhayak8469's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like poor/insufficient training more than anything. Its not like you showed poor judgement/decision making, you didnt know where a form is or how a fax machine saves

  20. Surrendering RN Scope!

    mhy12784 replied to jegalink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Its not really a "deskilling" of nursing, its the transformation of nursing from a blue collar to a white collar job. Nursing was for a long time (and for many who have been nurses for a long time...

  21. Surrendering RN Scope!

    mhy12784 replied to jegalink's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I just want to point out that while your complaining about "RNs surrending their scope" that the scope of nurses is likely expanding if anything. The NP modernization act goes into effect in NY on...

  22. Bunion surgery

    mhy12784 replied to Heliantus's topic in General Nursing

    I think youre going to get the "We cannot give medical advice" speech and thread /closed pretty shortly. I will say that I recently started a position in the OR not too long ago, and I was shocked by...

    mhy12784 replied to jrt4's topic in Nurse Management

  24. Nursing without corporate influence

    mhy12784 replied to nursestacey62's topic in General Nursing

    I dont want to sound mean. But every job out there involves money, financial responsibility and all that. Not just nursing. Your best bet would just be ending up somewhere with a strong positive...

    mhy12784 replied to Kinar's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Not to defend the OP too much, but he was fired 5 weeks in So unless he was showing up late, leaving early, and drinking on the job I cant imagine how or why someone would be fired as a new grad that...
