  1. Would you deliver your baby at your place of employment?

    applesxoranges replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how it would work if I switched hospital systems now. If I were in a position, I may try to deliver at the county hospital since that's 15 minutes versus 40 minutes that the other...

  2. Former Coworker now Registered Sex Offender

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

    I don't know if the board actually does checks after the initial licensing. I can't remember the questions that they ask during rectification either. In fact, I think they just started doing finger...

  3. Michigan Endorsement

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Michigan Nursing

    It took 3 weeks but I think they tied it to my Michigan paramedic license for faster

  4. New Grad Unhappy

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Part of the issue is that I don't know how to really address it with my nurse manager. I feel like I don't know how to put it fully into words why I am unhappy. Some days it's because of the...

  5. Any tips for a "new" nursing student?

    applesxoranges replied to gya15's topic in General Students

    I was hired because of my paramedic experience. I would see if you can volunteer on a fire department as they will pay for your EMT class and get you 911 experience in most areas with volunteer fire...

  6. Tips on how to study throughout nursing school?

    applesxoranges replied to mommycruz3's topic in General Students

    Try to study at school if possible and set aside at least one hour a day. Study in the library with your book and read the book then create outlines of the chapters after you have read them. Then see...

  7. RN-BSN or RN-MSN

    applesxoranges replied to rnstudent23's topic in General Students

    I went RN to BSN because the RN to MSN program I want requires 1 year of experience. I can knock my BSN out in 9 months and shave about 5,000 off the cost of my entire education by going a traditional...

  8. Acceptance into OCC nursing program fall 2014

    applesxoranges replied to Ms.futureRN's topic in New York Nursing

    OCC can stand for a dozen schools. I would not put the name of your school or any hospitals in any posts ever in case you tick someone off and they feel like stalking you. Or if someone recognizes the...

  9. CPR for Healthcare Providers?

    applesxoranges replied to LaceElaine's topic in General Students

    I believe you have to take the full AHA BLS class which isn't that long. I know as an EMT some places accept the American Redcross one if it covers 2 person CPR. The price range differs greatly! If...

  10. New Grad Unhappy

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Well, an ER is offering me an interview opportunity and I am going to talk to them. I am just unhappy with the current situation. If I do not get hired there, I am going to talk to employee assistance...

  11. My online shopping reviews - please share yours!

    applesxoranges replied to MJB2010's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Scrubsandbeyond is the best in my opinion. I buy scrubs and it usually takes about five to seven days to get. They carry the colors I need for Jockey which is hard to find. In fact, the only provider...

  12. Would you deliver your baby at your place of employment?

    applesxoranges replied to BSNbeauty's topic in General Nursing

    I would be willing to because I am not in the L&D unit, but we don't have a NICU so if something happened we would be split up. However, I would prefer to deliver at another hospital that's about...

  13. Junior Comp/Nursing Excellence

    applesxoranges replied to jenRN83's topic in Ohio University

    I'm taking junior comp at Miami University because it's 8

  14. Help! Bought an online test bank not sure what to do!

    applesxoranges replied to NicolleM's topic in General Students

    Eh, I side with it's not cheating if it was a legit copy of the test bank not obtained to cheat. There should be hundreds of different questions on it and so how would you know which ones would be on...

  15. The teacher had the question wrong...Should I be penalized?

    applesxoranges replied to vonnieb63's topic in General Students

    Is it computer based? Our computer tests automatically have different boxes for select all and the regular questions. Also, did it say the best

  16. Don't do this in clinical..

    applesxoranges replied to ArtClassRN's topic in General Students

    Also, a lot of 9-5 clinical jobs here are being offered to medical assistants and LPNs. Is she willing to accept about 10 bucks less an

  17. One thing I learned today is that honesty will get you nowhere in Nursing School.

    applesxoranges replied to guest08/05/2014's topic in General Students

    I did that once. I worked a night shift and then planned on sleeping for two hours. Then the instructor was nice enough to already schedule my make up at the computer lab so I didn't have to provide...

  18. cna working in hopsital

    applesxoranges replied to nalee91's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Some have preferences like hiring someone who is in a nursing program over someone who is not. Usually someone who is hired knows someone else who is in the hospital. However, sometimes you have to...

  19. LPN before RN?

    applesxoranges replied to TMCasaletto's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would focus on passing nursing school and getting experience before worrying about becoming an NP. The issue with LPN is that there is still an abundance of LPNs and RNs due to the amount of...

  20. ADN --> BSN...? + trauma nursing

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

    I would begin planning out which RN to BSN programs you would want and then take some undergrad classes to fulfill any extra general education credits you may need (aka BS classes). My RN to BSN...

  21. does the bsn program matter???

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

    I think the reason why most people say a pass/fail program may affect your chances is due to some graduate programs converting your GPA to a flat 3.0 for all the pass classes out of 4.0. So you're...

  22. Is the RN--->BSN push a clever way to get older nurses out of the way

    applesxoranges replied to Nola009's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    One hospital system pays new nurses 20 bucks an hour for their residency but they upped it to 25 to compete with the system I work for. Around the same time, the hospital system dropped the pay from...

  24. are mandatory scrub color-coding in hospitals the wave of the future?

    applesxoranges replied to kelligracie's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    All 3 systems have the scrubs color coded and one of them has it where the nurses have to buy the uniform top from their vendor and have their logo sewen on it. Generally we have a green-color for...

  25. Michigan Endorsement

    applesxoranges replied to applesxoranges's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I know in Ohio, the board had to have the fingerprints on file within a year. So I would look into whether Michigan had the same rules. For me, I paid 25 for both cards but apparently I could have...
