  1. I just want to quit..

    applesxoranges replied to Memphis15's topic in General Students

    In all honesty, to some degree becoming a nurse seems to work out better for some people. Yes you may not make all the ball games but how many other jobs can you work 3 days of the week and earn...

  2. Low cost, online, quality MSN NP programs

    applesxoranges replied to Lev's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    What state are you in? I am in Ohio so I know people who have gone to both of those programs. I go to Spring Arbor University and I know a handful of my former Michigan coworkers go to Spring Arbor....

  3. PCT - was told I'm fired

    applesxoranges replied to Loveeea's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Best bet is to try and find another position in a different hospital. As for eligible for rehire, most places won't look at people until it has been at least six months. I would lay off calling them...

  4. Nursing Students Looked at my EMR... HIPAA?

    applesxoranges replied to femnursingstudent's topic in HIPAA Challenges

  5. Getting all 50 US Licenses

    applesxoranges replied to Shineyfam's topic in General Nursing

  7. NP for child psych?!

    applesxoranges replied to Terra_RN's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    I would get a few years experience working with children psychiatric patients before going that route. It seems a lot harder than normal psychiatric patients. I know it is harder to find peds...

  8. Are Online Nursing Professors really able to work remotely?

    applesxoranges replied to nursebrittain's topic in General Nursing

  9. No Lunches

    applesxoranges posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    So why do nurses constantly sacrifice their lunch break? This is a topic that bugs me quite a bit. A lot of facilities will automatically take out a lunch if you work over X amount of hours. If you...

  10. Patients wants a back rub

    applesxoranges replied to Oceanpacific's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The closest thing is when they would use lotion on intubated patients' backs after bathing. Maybe it counts? I wouldn't do it in the

  11. RN to BSN - Some schools still want clinicals.... some advice and opinions on schools...

    applesxoranges replied to SentinelTruth's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Ohio University is a public school whereas Spring Arbor is considered private. I think Ohio University also charges less for their RN to BSN programs than they would if it was the regular university...

  12. Things LTC Nurses wish EMTs and Paramedics would understand.

    applesxoranges replied to downsouthlaff's topic in General Nursing

    In my area, a lot of places call private ambulances which mean that usually the nurse has called the doctor and the doctor said send them. Rarely do they call 911. It would be nice at this point that...

  13. BSN or ADN?

    applesxoranges replied to Ncgirl2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    In all honesty, getting a BSN does not take that much longer if you plan for it. I managed to get through Ohio University's program in 8 months because I planned while I was in the ADN program by...

  14. BSN or ADN?

    applesxoranges replied to Ncgirl2013's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My advice is to not put your eggs into just one basket. Figure out what you will need and pick 3 programs to apply to. A lot of people I know end up screwing themselves over by not being flexible...

  15. I want my BSN where to GO?

    applesxoranges replied to jenRN2016's topic in Online Distance Learning

    OU is online but they only accept students from 5 states. University of Lousiana Lafayette had some weird rule that the associate had to be ACEN accredited but I don't know if that is still

  16. ADN to BSN or right to MSN

    applesxoranges replied to Mjonesmc's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My personal experience involved getting a BSN because it was more cost effective and it only took me a year because I planned ahead by attending a school that partnered with my CC. I had a list of...

    applesxoranges replied to giopim65's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm willing to do it but I don't get off work till 11:15 pm so you literally would have like 20 minutes to type it up You could send me a PM with the questions here and I can PM them back. Or PM them...

  19. Should I Try and Negotiate for a Higher Pay?

    applesxoranges replied to respectnerds's topic in General Students

    In general, healthcare rarely will negotiate, especially if they are a chain nursing

  20. Should I self report?

    applesxoranges replied to Sunnywd's topic in General Nursing

    How do they even track who took a whole bunch of lopressors unless they count each time which would make pulling meds a pain in the butt. With narcotics you can kind of tell because you can narrow it...

  21. Scope Of Practice

    applesxoranges replied to amysnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I think it would fall under protocol orders. So it is not really an RN ordering it, they are given permission to order this order under X. We can do the actual

  22. Paramedic to RN program(Online?)

    applesxoranges replied to Racer1600's topic in General Students

    There are real paramedic to RN bridge programs but they are far and few between. It is hard to find them and some stopped offering them. My CC stopped their program because the paramedics would miss a...

  25. Stuck between two programs. Need help!!!

    applesxoranges replied to Dellrich89's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN
