  1. Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Get2theChoppa replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yup, still less stressful than a lot of other floors in the hospital

  2. UCLA MECN 2016

    Get2theChoppa replied to knenopoulos's topic in School, College Programs

    I applied to UCLA in Fall 2013. Applied / interviewed for CSULA in Winter 2014. Got notified of acceptances April 2014. Started at CSULA June 2014. Graduated from CSULA ABSN portion September 2015....

  3. UCLA MECN 2016

    Get2theChoppa replied to knenopoulos's topic in School, College Programs

    Two years ago I had to decide between CSULA's ABSN/MSN program and UCLA's MECN. I chose eventually CSULA over UCLA because it was more in line with my career goals. I know I want to be an NP, and...

  4. Jury Duty

    Get2theChoppa replied to lpn954's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe this differs by state, but you can refuse to take the Juror's oath, citing the belief that not all citizens of this county can be assured of fair treatment by law enforcement and the judicial...

  5. Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Get2theChoppa replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Research? No, you need clinical experience to go into a full nursing research position. However, even as a new grad nurse, you can get involved in research for sure. Informatics? I've never seen the...

  6. Nursing speciality for someone that hates people

    Get2theChoppa replied to Gogol's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    A less stressful RN position? Post partum, drug rehab, etc. Then get into informatics? There's a significant number of hospital staff who lack computer

  7. Did you receive a politically biased education?

    Get2theChoppa replied to Guest910128's topic in General Students

    Some of the complaints you have are nursing fundamentals. Having a pro-life opinion has no place in nursing. If a patient says to you that they want an abortion, you are obligated to present them with...

  8. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    Get2theChoppa replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    Before I did a my ABSN program, I was a ESL teacher. I've also been a student for a long time, as has everyone else, and I know for a fact that experience doesn't mean anything if you don't have the...

  9. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    Get2theChoppa replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    I'm referring to nursing theory courses, which I find have little to do with real world nursing. With health occupations, many job postings say they want teachers with varied experiences--I assume...

  10. MSN Nurse without clinical experience please help!!

    Get2theChoppa replied to Sspino's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the OP can take an instructor position somewhere that teaches theory based classes at the LVN/ADN level, likely at a private school? Or health occupations? Not directly related to leadership...

  11. UCLA MECN 2016

    Get2theChoppa replied to knenopoulos's topic in School, College Programs

    I'm sorry you were not admitted into one school if your choice, and for the inappropriate comment that followed. There are many roads to nursing; you'll find your way there! All the best!

  12. LVN teacher

    Get2theChoppa replied to nursefromcali's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    When I started out as a CNA in CA, my CNA instructor was an LVN. Would you consider teaching nurse assistant

  13. Get CNA cert? Before NP?

    Get2theChoppa replied to Polly Peptide's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I'm in an ABSN/MSN program. I graduated from the ABSN part, and moved directly onto the MSN/NP program. Our program lets us go part time in the MSN portion. Is that something you can do? RN experience...

  14. Male Nurses in OB

    Get2theChoppa replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    I posted earlier about how I would not want a male OB/GYN for likely similar reasons as the person in question. I would be willing to expound upon my reasoning. It's just long, and I wouldn't want to...

  15. Male Nurses in OB

    Get2theChoppa replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    She is speaking from a patient perspective, and I thought we were to respect patient preferences, particularly in this

  16. Benefits of becoming a CNA before Nursing School??

    Get2theChoppa replied to Emile's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Of course any healthcare experience is going to be helpful, but I'm going to part from the crowd here a bit. Getting my CNA cert was only somewhat useful. The best thing you learn is how to position...

  17. Male Nurses in OB

    Get2theChoppa replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school I asked about this discrepancy. What I heard is that many of these women think doctors are "professionals." Therefore, when a male doctor goes into OB, it's a...

  18. FNP wanting to specialize

    Get2theChoppa replied to Newgradnurse14's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    That's great to hear! I'm going FNP but want to work solely in women's health. I've looked at job descriptions at places like PP, and hope that my current experience makes me an ideal candidate....

  19. Toluidine Blue...

    Get2theChoppa replied to deftonez188's topic in Forensic

    I'm not really sure. I've never used surgilube so I can't compare. It's got a more watery consistency and it's easy remove TB dye from flat surfaces. Crevices are

  20. Male Nurses in OB

    Get2theChoppa replied to belin5's topic in General Nursing

    Well, my experience as a patient tells me no man shall ever again perform a speculum exam on me. I would also request a female OB/GYN for all maternity matters. If I had a male nurse attending me I...

  21. Toluidine Blue...

    Get2theChoppa replied to deftonez188's topic in Forensic

    I'm relatively new to the field myself, but we use a vinegar

  22. Forensic Nursing (FN): Programs

    Get2theChoppa replied to sirI's topic in Forensic

    I don't know if it differs by state but my first job out of nursing school was/is a forensic nurse examiner. I think any nurse with a BSN can perform a forensic exam so long as they have the training....

  23. Age and nursing school

    Get2theChoppa replied to tiny_dancer's topic in General Students

    22? How is that even close to

  24. Forensic Nursing

    Get2theChoppa replied to nerdy student's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I currently work as a sexual assault nurse examiner. I perform exams on adult/pediatric patients, as well as suspects. It's a 24-hour on call job. I receive calls directly from law enforcement, then...

  25. CNA's ARE NOT MAIDS!!!!!!!!!

    Get2theChoppa replied to tushka61's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yes, it expected that you clean, but only to a degree. I worked in home health for about a year as a CNA. However my agency told us that basically we were only expected to do "every day" housework:...
