  1. EtG testing - seems impossible?

    resqbug replied to dirtyhippiegirl's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Is taking the Lamictal and getting a + PCP test the reason you had to do the nurse assistance program? I'm just curious since I take that drug

  2. LPN for 15years with no complaints\ reporting on my license.

    resqbug replied to sboston20's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ditto on this. Less than 24 hours before you returned to work your shift on Wednesday night, you had done cocaine, tylenol 3's and ETOH? I don't want to scold you, but I think you are not realizing...

  4. degree changers, was nursing harder than your previous degree?

    resqbug replied to Infofreak411's topic in General Nursing

    I have two prior B.S. degrees and nursing was harder. It wasn't so much the material was difficult to grasp, but the grading system was different. We had to have an 83 on EACH test to continue in the...

  5. OR Nursing Call Response

    resqbug replied to RNKeith's topic in General Nursing

  6. Code Lavender?!

    resqbug replied to AnnieOaklyRN's topic in General Nursing

    This reminds me of that Grey's Anatomy episode where they discover "derm" and the team of people going around massaging the staff. I think it should be a federal requirement that all hospitals...

  8. Anyone heard any reason gel polish is worse than regular polish??

    resqbug replied to Nola009's topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if the places that really crack down on gel polish or even regular polish are as hard on people wearing rings? In my mind, rings are just as much of an infection

  9. Does being an EMT help when going to nursing school?

    resqbug replied to BrooklynHD's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Many nursing programs require CNA certification to apply, so I would check into that. Being an EMT is nothing like being a nurse and is a totally different way of thinking. CNA's have very important...

  10. failed nursing school

    resqbug replied to Newtornworld's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you had financial aid for your nursing programs and plan to try and get financial aid for a new one, they will be able to track what schools you have attended through the student clearinghouse. I...

  11. 2 week notice necessary?

    resqbug replied to v412's topic in General Nursing

    Years and years ago when I worked a non-nursing job at a hospital, I needed to resign quickly. I explained my reasoning to the supervisor and she was very understanding, but still said that because of...

  12. What are your non nursing passions?

    resqbug replied to RorySeiter's topic in General Nursing

    I have ridden horses my entire life and compete. I also have a small herd of cows that keep me busy. I also love to travel to the caribbean as money allows. I am not working right now, but when I go...

    resqbug replied to fltopp1's topic in General Nursing

    My mom has a medical card and uses CBD. She was able to quit using Ambien nightly for sleep and Tramadol for chronic pain within a month. Her husband's blood pressure has also lowered since using it....

  15. Resume feedback Please:)

    resqbug replied to swoo5's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    My only suggestion would be to remove your objective. They aren't really used

  16. FLAME ON!

    resqbug replied to trinitymaster's topic in General Nursing

    "I'm being bullied because I was turned down for a job." "I'm being discriminated against because I have a BSN and people with only ADN's are getting jobs before me" On a resume: keywords like...

  17. What is a Nurses Calling?

    resqbug replied to hopepedersen87's topic in General Nursing

    There's no calling or altruism here...I was an EMT for many years and drawn to science and adrenaline. I debated becoming a paramedic, but found that they weren't paid near what they should be for 2...

  18. BSN or BS

    resqbug replied to Sirena922's topic in General Nursing

    You can go to an ADN program to be an RN. If you decide to pursue your BSN after that, you can do it online and many of the pre-reqs that you had for your 1st degree will apply. If your business BS...

  19. Is the first applicant to interview a disadvantage?

    resqbug replied to kimmy20's topic in General Nursing

    I think the opposite may be true at times. The applicants interviewed further down the list can have a disadvantage because mgmt might have already chosen their candidate, but choose to interview...

  20. Black and Job Hunting

    resqbug replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Honestly, I can't help but wonder how soon you will be playing the discrimination card once you are hired if you are claiming this as a reason you haven't found a job yet. Let's say for example, you...

    resqbug replied to SarahAnnieB's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Hello, I have had an issue with my blood pressure tanking for the last 7 years. I had to walk out of rooms during both my EMT and LPN clinicals whenever I felt I was going to pass out. It was...

  22. Black and Job Hunting

    resqbug replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Pot meet kettle. You will not tolerate bigotry and racism, but have been spouting "white" privilege in many of your posts. I'm sorry if you don't realize it, but that comment is, in itself, RACIST....

  23. Veganism and the pursue of nursing

    resqbug replied to sparkles24's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You could not be more misguided on your assumptions of modern agriculture. 98% of farms in this country are family owned, not factory farms. The substances you speak of them being injected with would...

  24. Hospitals Firing Seasoned Nurses: Nurses FIGHT Back!

    resqbug replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    It has been my opinion that meetings among administrators and managers should be required to have a third-party present to take down minutes and those minutes should be dispersed to staff members once...

  25. Veganism and the pursue of nursing
