    student4ever replied to SoulShine75's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    student4ever replied to Fox's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  4. Spouse of an Er nurse needs help

    student4ever replied to jvalloric's topic in Emergency

    I agree with what the other posters have to say. I can't comment on the smoking thing, as I am a smoker - and believe me, working in the ED I really need it sometimes! Not that I'm a pro-smoker.......

  5. Psych pts needing medical tx

    student4ever replied to Morning-glory's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    student4ever replied to Michelle.'s topic in Nursing Humor

  7. Should All Courses be complete B/4 Applying???

    student4ever replied to kdredman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    At my school, you don't have to be completely finished, but you must be in the process of finishing. For example, I'm applying for Fall of '06. I will apply in January of '06 and I will be currently...

  10. Paying for nursing schools?..ouch!!

    student4ever replied to rgrah420's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    student4ever replied to newgrad2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

  12. Cheapest Scrubs online?

    student4ever replied to Butternut's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I love Uniform Advantage scrubs. They have lots of bright colors and sharp, fashionable patterns - not to mention that a lot of the scrub tops are only 9.99!!! They put things on sale too a lot. I...

  14. Collecting co-pays at the ED registration desk.

    student4ever replied to TlhRNED's topic in Emergency

    I totally agree with that. I currently work in registration in a small but very busy ER, and we don't take any co-pay or any other kind of payment up front. This is because there are many complex...

    student4ever replied to qwitcher13itchin's topic in Emergency

  18. Any info on getting insurance to pay for breast reduction?

    student4ever replied to MultipurposeRN's topic in General Nursing

  19. Questionable practice

    student4ever replied to JaimeeG's topic in General Nursing

    :angryfire To me, this is just awful nursing on the parts of those who refused to treat this patient with dignity and compassion. No matter what life choices this patient has made that have resulted...

    student4ever replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    student4ever replied to brandy119's topic in General Nursing

  24. moving from NYC to Richmond VA

    student4ever replied to daisywill's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I live in Virginia (not Richmond, but still) and the cost of living is really good. You say 17 dollars an hour is rediculous, and that's partly right. Check for sure how much you would be paid at...
