    JoseQuinones replied to jsteeler's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Let me weigh in here as a person who went into the BSN program thinking that CRNA was the only way to go. In fact, my original reason for going into nursing at all was to study CRNA - not because it...

  2. Of your patient load..

    JoseQuinones replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    JoseQuinones posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all, I've got all my paperwork filed to take the NCLEX-RN through a U.S. state, and all that remains is to pay the fee and receive the ATT. Once I pay that fee, how long do I have to take the...

  8. The Fat One

    JoseQuinones replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Sigh. Oh, I dream to speak English without an accent. On the other hand, it's so much fun to go off in a blue streak in Spanish in front of my coworkers and classmates who don't speak Spanish, it...

  9. Time from authorization to test?

    JoseQuinones replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Nursing

    What do you find hard to believe? Puerto Rico has its own independent nurse licensing board and does not participate in the NCLEX for local licensing. One can become licensed here to practice here...

  10. Legally how many doses can a nurse hold?

    JoseQuinones replied to Donnagg123's topic in Patient Medications

    This is a case where you ask the doctor whether you can text their cell. Per my facility's policies, I fire off a text whenever I hold a dose. WhatsApp is perfect for that because all the nurses...

  12. The Fat One

    JoseQuinones replied to Pink86's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    JoseQuinones replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Now you're just taking my words way out of context. As for the fact you have cancer yourself, my deepest sympathies are for you. It made me sad to see a mother buying multiple bottles of cheap Puerto...

  14. Not a Nursing Question, but Has to Do with Work, So...

    JoseQuinones replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    .Well, I make no claim to be fully aware of U.S. insurance norms, but presumably to have health insurance through her employer, she needs to be employed, right? And if she becomes gravely sick, she...

  16. I think I cry too much about patients?

    JoseQuinones replied to c.dom's topic in General Students

    JoseQuinones replied to skudgirl's topic in HESI Entrance, Exit Exam

    Yes, they really do. There is a ton of material in nursing school that will hit you all at once, so use these tests as an on ramp. In other words, think both short- and

  19. Be honest . . . medical school?

    JoseQuinones posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey all, I've really come to like the wisdom and viewpoints I get on this site, as people often put things in perspectives I never thought of before. I am nearly done with my BSN (October, knock on...

  20. Embracing Night Shift

    JoseQuinones replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    People always look at me weird when I tell them I would rather work nights. For me, there is a special feeling of doing something necessary and important when I work those wee hours. I like the sense...

  21. Nursing Student Close to Graduating

    JoseQuinones replied to tp1159's topic in General Students

    Grab a medical dictionary and leaf through it. You will be amazed at how many of those arcane terms are familiar friends to you. Then close the dictionary and say "Wow! My brain is smarter than...

  23. I am the wife of a male student nurse and having trouble coping.

    JoseQuinones replied to Theotherone's topic in Health, Stress Management

    There is nothing specifically about nursing school that makes it impossible to balance work/family life. Like anything else that takes a ton of time and commitment, nursing school will monopolize his...

    JoseQuinones replied to Creedyfbaby's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    If you don't want to make $35,000 as an LPN, do something else. Like go to nursing school. Or apply to Harvard Medical School. Or whatever. Now is as good a time as any to recognize that life will...

  25. Spinoff From "Don't Be That Nurse"

    JoseQuinones replied to mirandaaa's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    How about a compromise? Why not make 6 months of nursing school a practical lab of working on the floor as a CNA instead of classroom lectures? I would really go for that. For one thing, it would...
