    Learning Intimate Exams

    Julius Seizure replied to ethics&modesty's topic in General Students

    I recently had this learning experience in school, so I'll try to give you some feedback on what made it a positive experience for me and my classmates: My instructor was pretty good. It was a group...

    Is CRNA school worth it?

    Julius Seizure replied to Lagrecaj's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Theres another option that not as many people are aware of. You can become an "anesthesia assistant". They are like the equivalent of a physician assistant, but for anesthesia. Something to look...

    Dosage (Med Admin)

    Julius Seizure replied to Texican67's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Even my 3 kg babies don't get their intake measured out to the 5th decimal point. I might chart that their medication was 1.2ml, but by the end of the day I am giving you their total I/Os without...

    Struggling with anxiety/depression. Time to leave nursing for good?

    Julius Seizure replied to SincerITY's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I am no expert, but since no real experts have appeared yet ......what about asking your doctor? They might know what steps to take. You can also go to the SSI disability website to see if they have...

    Disclosure and mental illness

    Julius Seizure replied to LaneyD's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Disclosing it to a potential job = probably not getting hired NOT disclosing and then trying to get accommodations via the ADA = they will make your life hell if they can It sucks and there's not a...

    Need a BSN for what again?

    Julius Seizure replied to ModernRN's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    This post certainly traveled far. We started with "why get a BSN?" and ended with "Nurses shouldn't have to make sure that MDs write for DVT prophylaxis." Both are worthwhile topics to discuss,...

    Is travel nursing stable income source?

    Julius Seizure replied to Oddobox's topic in Travel

    Unfortunately, stability is not guaranteed. It is wise to have money in the bank to fall back on, for the inevitable time that your contract gets cancelled (through no fault of your own), and the...

    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    Julius Seizure replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the drug test, I suppose. But someone earlier in this thread was saying that some drug tests are more than the standard 6 or 10 panel, and include certain prescription drugs. Even those...

    I'm unclear on what your point is here.

    Hospital & The Drug Screen: I thought they had to wait?

    Julius Seizure replied to cassimoo's topic in General Nursing

    Wouldn't that make things easier. But what am I supposed to do about my (hypothetical, lets say) epilepsy medication? Just skip it for a few days before the drug test and hope nothing bad happens?...

    Off topic: 8 year old found out Santa doesn't exist

    Julius Seizure replied to Amethya's topic in School

    I think I always just knew Santa was a "tradition" and not a real guy. "Santa" still gave all the kids presents every year, even as the kids became adults. The best was when "santa" gave my mom a...

    Did you initially think you weren't going to like nursing

    Julius Seizure replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a massive introvert, and also fairly shy. For me, at least, something changes when im on the floor working as a bedside nurse. You are in charge of that patients day. You are the gatekeeper....

    No the OP is working in a clinic, which would be a primary care setting. Many people start out in a hospital job, which is an acute care setting - and get burned out and wish they could find a nice...

    Julius Seizure replied to Corgilicious's topic in General Nursing
