  1. Anyone in 4510 this summer?

    applesxoranges replied to favthing's topic in Ohio University

    Make sure you look at the rubric and are answering the stuff in it. I kind of just did like a checklist where I would go down the list. I didn't figure that out till later. It was a rougher class than...

  2. Is there a legal way to do this...

    applesxoranges replied to BrnEyedGirl's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    Know what I might have done? I may have gone in there and say, "by the way, you look like so and so" but then I would walk out. If he panics and take off with an IV in their arms, then I'd call the...

  3. How to get a job working with babies

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

    You felt strongly about the topic to include it in your original post. You also included your own ethical decisions in the first post. Morals and what is right and wrong depends on the person. You...

  4. Nursing Home Contract for 2 years

    applesxoranges replied to Shimbo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    That is a very good idea to see if you can wait 60-90 days before signing the contract. I knew about three months in that I wanted to quit my first job. However, it does take time to become very...

  5. Medical Student to Nursing Student

    applesxoranges replied to thatguy777's topic in General Students

    One ER physician said that if he could do it over again, he would become a CRNA or a NP. He says the ER PAs and NPs have better hours than he

  6. 10 mos. LPN to RN prgm. Avail in McDonough, GA

    applesxoranges replied to PepperPine's topic in LPN to RN

    It happens. The major warning sign is that they are not listed on the BON website as being accredited. Unless you get word from Medlife from the numbers listed, I would not trust them. First, the...

  7. Medical Student to Nursing Student

    applesxoranges replied to thatguy777's topic in General Students

    There was an article online about a doctor who decided she didn't want be a doctor and became a pastry chef. People make choices all the time. We had a PA who was practicing in Israel as a MD but...

  8. 10 mos. LPN to RN prgm. Avail in McDonough, GA

    applesxoranges replied to PepperPine's topic in LPN to RN

    The Florida BON said this: "Thank you for contacting the Florida Board of Nursing. Any Florida Board of Nursing approved program will appear on the nursing education programs comparative website....

  9. How to get a job working with babies

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

    I view it as just as bad. I don't agree with the choices many of my patients make or their attitudes or beliefs but that does not mean that I am going to put my own views first. Would it make you feel...

  10. Doubt vs. Reality

    applesxoranges replied to imaginemily1323's topic in General Students

    Generally they recommend working the bare minimum and to avoid major life changes if possible during nursing school. Wedding planning is stressful enough and then to add it onto nursing school? I...

  11. Nursing Home Contract for 2 years

    applesxoranges replied to Shimbo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Can you afford to live at the LPN rate that you are making now? I am personally leery of contracts. I quit my first nursing job in a hospital after four months and I am starting a new one

  12. How to get a job working with babies

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

    It's a fine line and it also depends on your employer's preferences. Catholic Hospital may be the way to go because they do not let you provide any information for abortion services which is messed up...

  13. Do power cords for IV pumps bother you?

    applesxoranges replied to jcalvin's topic in General Nursing

    The cord for the EPC cuffs drive me nuts. On some of the older beds that didn't have the outlet on the bottom we would have to plug them into the wall. Tripping

  14. 10 mos. LPN to RN prgm. Avail in McDonough, GA

    applesxoranges replied to PepperPine's topic in LPN to RN

    Also, another thing I noticed is that Medlife's campuses are listed on the Florida Board of Nursing website. The AMT Institute location is not. It's fishy. Super fishy. Also, they copied and pasted...

  15. OU RN-BSN: using old book editions

    applesxoranges replied to KoUkLa's topic in Ohio University

    In Gerontology all the stuff is in the old edition. So frustrating! I have to look at two different sheets to figure out where it is in the new edition they wanted us to get. If I had known that...

  16. on line college

    applesxoranges replied to mdcdlt123's topic in General Students

    Also, I will tell you a little bit about the schools in my area. We have had a lot of people drop out or quit to go to other schools in our area. Then we also accept transfers. It isn't that uncommon...

  17. How to get a job working with babies

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

    And I wouldn't have cared. However she felt strongly enough to include that in the original post. If it is necessary for her to put that in her original post, then I view it as necessary to remind...

  18. Past employer-bad reference-no jobs (new grad)-dreams dashed

    applesxoranges replied to Bulgogi_Wagyu's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I understand about quitting due to politics. I asked to be put on call the rest of my shifts. The few shifts I did not get on call I experienced crap because I was quitting and so the unit and the...

  19. Prospective employee's psych hx

    applesxoranges replied to ashleed's topic in HIPAA Challenges

    I would contact the website too and see what they advise. I don't know if you are obligated to report it through them if you know about a HIPAA

  20. Private loan and no co-signer

    applesxoranges replied to Davis.M's topic in General Students

    I would talk to your husband about it. If you two plan on staying together, the lower interest rate may be better in the long

  21. Any Advice for New Nursing Students?

    applesxoranges replied to jrabbit0811's topic in General Students

    Don't try to overload yourself. While many people have to work, the people that tend to do the best are the ones who do not work. Spend as much time as you can studying. Try not to overload yourself....

  22. on line college

    applesxoranges replied to mdcdlt123's topic in General Students

    I would also encourage you to think of some ways that it has taught you a lesson and how you plan on improving yourself such as you identified a weakness and you are now seeking a different type of...

  23. Accepted to two nursing programs...What to do?

    applesxoranges replied to canthardlywait2brn's topic in General Students

    Look at the programs and see if one is more respected than the other. Also look at the accreditations. Usually look for CCNE or NLNAC (now known as ACEN). Look into what kind of support there is for...

  24. RN but working LPN cases HELP!!!!

    applesxoranges replied to Shimbo's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    They say you're an RN? Then you're an RN. In my state the scope of practice is a handful of differences overall. A few iv rules like an rn has to hang the initial iv infusion and has to do iv pushes....

  25. 10 mos. LPN to RN prgm. Avail in McDonough, GA

    applesxoranges replied to PepperPine's topic in LPN to RN

    That's scary! I would contact them yourself. There are many warning signs here. Metlife's website looks professionally done and makes no mention of the AMT Instutite that I could find. It's not...
