  1. Will working as a stripper affect my Air Force nursing potential?

    ckh23 replied to JustMeWhoeverThatIs's topic in Government, Military

    They might care. However it may be tough for them to find out, unless one of your references mentions it. Joining the military is not as easy as it once was and it has become more competative with the...

  2. Angina-first intervention

    ckh23 replied to monica1matos's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Look into what angina is and what causes it. That should put you on the right

  4. Labor and Delivery Experience with ICU for CRNA school?

    ckh23 replied to hokieicurn's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Your chances are anyones guess. There have been people that have been accepted with only one year. I would recommend you research the schools you want to go to and see what kind requirements they...

  5. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    ckh23 replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    Yes, life is unfair. Your whole post is based around how unfair it was that the teacher took questions from another test book that other students just happened to be studying. Do you know how many...

  6. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    ckh23 replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    Life is unfair. I don't see the difference between the instructor getting the questions from another book or making them up. What wouldn't make sense is taking test questions directly from the book...

  7. Teaching plan on Metoprolol

    ckh23 replied to flrn64's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would think some basic info. When the patient should take it. What they should check prior to taking it. When to see the doctor. Allergic reactions. Possible drug interactions,

  8. Should I.....

    ckh23 replied to MajesticRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    It has only been a week. You also need to take into account that they are probably interviewing multiple people for the

  9. My Teacher Hates me!!!!

    ckh23 replied to SnowPrincess's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I doubt this is real, but I'll bite. GROW UP!! You shouldn't be using your phone and texting in class. It is rude and disrespectful. Office hours are for just the situation you describe. Why should...

  10. Is this nitpicking or does the instructor dislike her?...

    ckh23 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    Another possibility is that staff are "supposed" to report near misses. Perhaps the primary nurse did report the near miss and informed the clinical instructor as well. Yes we are all human and make...

  11. Can my DON legally do this to me????

    ckh23 replied to kjwestm6's topic in Government, Military

    They cannot do it because of your military obligation, but they may give a different reason. What you need to start doing is getting official orders every time you go to drill for that drill weekend...

  12. I May be in huge trouble....

    ckh23 replied to hlr2752's topic in General Students

    No way they can ever find out, unless you admit it to them at some point. Even then I doubt anything will happen. DO NOT given them your medical records, they shouldn't be asking for them anyway...

  13. Large teaching hospital vs. Community hospital ICU experience- Chances of getting in?

    ckh23 replied to rcon's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    I think it is going to depend on the school. Most schools in my area preferred experience from large teaching hospitals because they patients in general are usually more sick. I know that is not the...

  14. sickel cell crisis

    ckh23 replied to diana2520's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Oxygen. Remember sickle cell is a disease that effects the hemoglobin of the RBC. When cells sickle they cannot carry much oxygen and decrease tissue oxygenation. Also when oxygen level is lowered, it...

  15. emergencies you have taken care of

    ckh23 replied to princess007's topic in General Nursing

    Call for help. No matter what the emergency, you can't do everything on your

  16. BSN right after ADN?

    ckh23 replied to clearblue3's topic in General Nursing

    I would try the job search first. School will always be there, but the job market can fluctuate at anytime. Getting that "one year" experience will go a lot further than your BSN with no experience....

  17. Spotting a bad unit......before you take the job.

    ckh23 replied to Sugarcoma's topic in General Nursing

    Ask about staff turnover. High turnover usually translates into poor satisfaction. Also find out about the experience on the unit. Are there a lot of new nurses and new grads? If that is the case it...

  18. CEN to ICU?

    ckh23 replied to CraigBSN02's topic in MICU, SICU

    As a past ER nurse, I have found the Surgical/Trauma ICU to be a nice cross between the traditional ICU and the

  19. University of Wyoming RN to BSN Program

    ckh23 replied to lvn2rncali's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from there in 2010 through the online RN-BSN. The price is what attracted me as well. I was able to complete the program in a little over a year, but I did have to take a couple classes at...

  20. Lying about a med to a psych patient

    ckh23 replied to cel58's topic in Emergency

    I think it would be in the patient's best interest to do it that way. If he is that volatile and violent, then getting him the meds to calm him down is better than the alternative should he decide to...

  22. I Need Another Job ASAP!!

    ckh23 replied to Nurzelady's topic in Nursing Career

    If you know you don't like it, then get that resume out there and start applying. That is one of the nice things about nursing is that you are not confined to one area. It may take some trial and...

  23. Work now or keep going to school?

    ckh23 replied to KBmaggie's topic in General Nursing

    If you can get a job now then I would recommend that. You will gain experience and start making some money that can pay for you BSN. Also, some employers offer tuition reimbursement for nurses that...

  24. Army Nurse Wannabe

    ckh23 replied to baxgilter's topic in Government, Military

    Your recruiter may be your best resource right now. The tatto wouldn't matter for other branches because even if they took you on, you would go to MEPS again and be disqualified again. I would also...

  25. Rather frustrated with work management

    ckh23 replied to Double-Helix's topic in General Nursing

    Use your chain of command. Do you have a staffing office or a nursing supervisor that handles call outs and getting coverage? I would start with them and basically tell them you are not coming in on...
