    My Poor Hands have been Washed Raw

    prmenrs replied to SuesquatchRN's topic in General Nursing

    I swear, after all these years I have asbestos hands! When they are dry, I hate putting anything w/petroleum on them--it stings. Same for most of the hand creams. I'll do it, but it does hurt. The...

    Finishing nursing school, relocating to San Diego... advice?

    prmenrs replied to karmyk's topic in California Nursing

    UCSD is a good place to start; they have new grad programs, and if you go back to the Bay area, you can transfer w/o losing senority. I imagine the same would be true of Kaiser. Be prepared: San...

    Newborn Nursing Diagnoses?

    prmenrs replied to JTinSC's topic in General Students

    Most of the diagnoses I have seen have to do w/adaptation to extrauterine life; ability to maintain body heat, transition from fetal to neonatal circulation, stuff like that. I will look on the...

    Dressing for Halloween?

    prmenrs replied to RNsRWe's topic in General Nursing

    We used to do it in my nursery, but, one year, a parent pointed out how inappropriate it was. @ the time, we dressed the babies up, too. Had lots of costumes-princesses, brides, superman, etc. The...

    San Diego schools?

    Please note that Maric is not NLN accredited; that can be a problem when you want to go further (BSN, MSN...). Some universities will not accept Maric transcripts. Best wishes whatever your plans...

    prmenrs replied to iriska_meller's topic in General Nursing

    All I can hope is that someday she will come around. Meanwhile, ask for her support (and prayers if she's the praying kind of mom), anyhow. It IS your decision, and, hopefully, someone in your...

    what is a good path to NICU nursing?

    prmenrs replied to nightingale1969's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    I think there is a preference for BSNs, esp. for Level 3s in teaching hospitals. And, any hospital that's even remotely interested in Magnet status is looking for BSNs. If you are in a bridge program...

    Anyone working for WIC?

    prmenrs replied to nurseaboveboard's topic in General Nursing

    You do better if you're on WIC if you are breastfeeding because they give you vouchers for certain foods: milk, cheese, eggs, peanut butter, lots of things. It's meant to support the woman...

    Adult ICU to NICU

    prmenrs replied to DaFreak71's topic in NICU, Neonatal
