  1. Where to get more patient interaction?

    DianeMyra replied to Joe NightingMale's topic in General Nursing

    I like the ED. There is a lot of teaching and talking to patients, the charting isn't as lengthy as the floor, oodles of autonomy: the doctors listen, and respect the RN's (I work at a teaching...

  2. Go find your patient

    DianeMyra replied to irmaRN's topic in Emergency

    I'm not sure how our peds dept does it, as we have separate triage areas, but if an adult presents with SI they stay in sub-triage which only exits with a badge. Also, personal belongings are removed,...

  3. NM license renewal help!

    DianeMyra replied to karleon's topic in General Nursing

    They're more on the ball in person; if you live close enough, I'd suggest popping in. ~

  4. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    DianeMyra replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Of course this does not include overhead; having been a hairdresser for over 20 years, I can attest that it is not quite this

  5. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    DianeMyra replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    traumahawk99, As previously stated, I'm not arguing whether the BSN should be entry level; it's a complex issue with logical arguments on both sides. Folks like LindaRN, Miss Mab, Freedom42 and many...

  6. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    DianeMyra replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Classes such as the extra pathophysiology courses I mentioned help reduce “failure to rescue”; I find it amazing that you can’t connect this to better patient outcome. Topics such as starting...

  7. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    DianeMyra replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I know all schools are different, but where I went to school we were required to have additional psych, sociology, logic and critical thinking, and pathophysiology 1 and 2 just to get into the BSN...

  8. Should I be expelled?

    DianeMyra replied to casurfer's topic in General Students

    This is something that has always bothered me about nursing school. Why can't I take my test home to study from it, and keep it as a reference? The test can be used as a learning tool as well, turn it...

  9. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    DianeMyra replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    I don't dispute that. Easier than what? ~

  10. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    DianeMyra replied to ThePrestige's topic in General Nursing

    Well, if the OP can go from a 25 year old with 2 years ICU experience in November of 2006 to a 21 year old just graduating from an ADN program in one year's time there's no doubt in my mind he can...

  11. No She/he Did Not!!!

    DianeMyra replied to Maggie in NC's topic in General Students

    Did I miss something? Has America reinstated

  12. How Did You Pass Pathophysiology??

    DianeMyra replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    I read assigned material twice. It took a lot of time, but on the second time through I got many "ah ha" moments which helped me understand interrelated concepts. ~

  13. the hug for Tweety thread

    DianeMyra replied to Ado Annie's topic in General Nursing

    Usually questions come

  15. Too many Negative remarks regarding Nursing School here!! Stop the discouragement!!

    DianeMyra replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    LOL, but as of your posting, it's only 28 hours old. Give her time, she may be busy looking for different career

  16. Is 26 too old to go back to school?

    DianeMyra replied to anouk's topic in General Nursing

    Yes. But on the bright side, you can become a Walmart

  17. And now we wait!!!

    DianeMyra replied to Worthless_Nut's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I applied to a community college, two year wait. I apply to a BSN program on the 15th, so I'll be nail bitin' along with the rest of you. :cheers: Here's to us all getting in! ~

  18. Rules for the ER (long)

    DianeMyra replied to EDValerieRN's topic in Emergency

    OK, I'm scared now. I volunteer in the ER and have no idea what the "Q" word is. Seeing that the ER has numerous sharp objects, can you please tell me before one impales me :uhoh21: ~

  19. Question about Gravida and Para??

    DianeMyra replied to CityKat's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    From Wikipedia: Gravida/para status refers to a female's obstetric history. Gravida indicates the number of pregnancies a woman has had. Para indicates the number of births of viable children. G3/P2...

    DianeMyra replied to bjb_wyo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Your experiences offer valuable insight. Thank you for taking the time to respond with such well thought out posts. ~

  21. Med-surg for all?

    DianeMyra replied to bjb_wyo's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I didn't read all the replies, so I apologize in advance if this question has been addressed. Are the long, in-depth orientations that I hear new grads get in some disciplines i.e. NICU, ER, offered...

  22. Some musings about reading posts here...

    DianeMyra replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    "I don't have no (fill in the blank)" bugs me. My mother must have hounded me about that one:) ~

  25. TVI, Albuquerque

    DianeMyra replied to DianeMyra's topic in General Nursing

    Are you petitioning for TVI? What's the waiting list like at this point? I only have this semester, then I'll petition too. I'm also taking pre-req stuff for UNM, but I have this plus 2 more...
