  1. dealing with rude doctors?

    Exactly what is it that she did not make clear? I thought she was to the point without giving too much information. I agree that she should just shrug it off. Everyone knows that this particular Dr. is the way he is. Just chart to CYA. He reall...
  2. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    I was wondering the same thing. I can't imagine that there are so few applicants. I thought this thread would be flooded with responses by now. I know not everyone belongs to this forum, but well I'm sure at least 3/4 of nurses in our area are.
  3. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    Oh yes TEAS score 78.5 proficient. Prerequisite GPA 3.8..
  4. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    I took Microbiology just after my A&P's thinking it was already a requirement. Ha....I'm glad I did then. Does anyone have any idea when we're supposed to hear back? Would it be mid October or so?
  5. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    Microbiology is a new requirement?? When I looked it up it was a prerequisite. Well I hope there isn't a lot of applicants..it would be easier to get in.
  6. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    Wow. There's usually a ton of people on during the application time....where is everyone?
  7. PHSC 2017 Spring Nursing Hopefuls

    Pre reqs done in 4 semesters. Took other classes too. Took what I could for the BSN too. Going for the LPN to RN transition.
  8. How old is too old to become a new RN?

    I am going on 51. I've been an LPN for 28 good years and have all my prereqs for the bridge completed. I am going for the bridge program. I feel as spry as I did 15 years ago. I have always worked 2 jobs. 12 hours 4 days a week and 8-16 hours on...
  9. Can a nurse get in trouble if....

    Welllllll... technically a nurse is a provider...especially when it comes to Medicare and Medicaid billing. The pediatric subacute facility that I used to work for had signed onto the Medicaid system with our very own Medicaid provider number. In ...
  10. The Agony of Ecstasy, Act 2 - NTI 2016 Session

    Florida is especially known for getting the "latest" designer drugs. There is one that is especially dangerous now called Flakka and they are on the lines of Bath Salts. This drug literally makes you insane. The aggression and strength of persons u...
  11. fat in nursing school

    Whenever you have "that feeling" (I know the feeling as well as any full figured person does) look down at yourself. Say to yourself, I have 2 working hands/arms. I have 2 working feet/legs. I have lungs that breath, I have a heart that beats. E...
  12. Going Back at 40 years old...

    I'm 50. I've been an LPN for 28 years now. Going back for my ADN then straight onto BSN. I have all prerequisites. ...hoping to start in the fall or next spring. I can't imagine not being a nurse. I don't think I could do anything else for a liv...
  13. What I Really Learned in Nursing School

    Now that you are out of nursing school, you should know that you NEVER really leave the learning environment. Everyday you will learn something new, even if it's not apparent to you at first. If you look at the little things, you will find them.
  14. Meaning of your username?

    explorereb96 My first "new" car was a 1996 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer. It was beautiful new. When my kids were growing up they wanted to go camping, fishing, and hiking etc. We started doing all those things. One time when we went camping, we...
  15. Awesome!! Now work hard and show them that Voc Rehab CAN and WILL work for you. I'm glad I helped ya out a little. I am graduating with my AA next week and applying for the LPN-bridge RN/BSN program for the fall. Good Luck !
  16. "Smart" students make bad nurses?

    That's just bunk. Although I have worked with BSN and even MSN educated nurses that can't even place a Foley. I think it has all to do with your willingness to work with your hands as well as your head.
  17. Reasons to lose nursing license?

    OMG that line is so old and so used. I remember hearing it all the time and rolling my eyes. One nurse manager even tried to convince some of the new hires that they could lose their license if they forgot to sign out a BM. When it was my turn to...
  18. Also, Insurance companies always need nurses. Just don't understand the narrow mindedness..... how about Case Management? There are so many different areas.
  19. I don't know if many of you had to deal with the state Vocational Rehabilitation counselors. I have. My son has Asperger's and he had a hard time dealing with social issues. However, he is highly intelligent and wanted to work and help himself. He...
  20. Ageism in Nursing: A Pervasive Problem

    I wonder why "Mary" did not go to the EEOC and the Human Relations Commission in her state and talk to an investigator. I did, way back in 1993. They talked to me right away. I experienced "ageism" when i was a younger nurse and just had my first ...
  21. No I think we all have to understand that what I have stated is an issue that they do deal with... People come in to the vocational Rehab to go to school, they start and use up all that funding only to drop out the next semester....and so on. You...
  22. Student doesn't eat and I'm the person to fix it!

    I am not sure if constant rigid scheduling really is the problem. Our Asian counterparts have been doing exactly this for centuries (I am NOT saying I agree with it). Yes, I agree that there ARE many children that are being medicated for behavior...
  23. Ok... My daughter has the same type of hearing loss that you do. They have hearing aids that go in the ear and stimulate the non hearing eardrum. The ear is anatomically capable of hearing except the neural pathway that tells the brain you are hear...
  24. Would you report possible diversion?

    He is already working on a restricted license? Why is his license restricted? Is it prior narcotic use? If so, I can't imagine why he is allowed to even touch narcotics. I thought that when you are working under a diversion plan, you could not ...
  25. NG insertion Doctors VS nurses

    I'd say.....the kid would be at the hospital more than home if that were the case. Especially the babies, they seem to know just how to hook that little finger and yank..... To add, we also reinsert Mickey (Gtubes).....the only ones that require a t...
