    TAKOO01 replied to Name9335's topic in First Year After Licensure

    This is an excellent analysis, and its impressive that you saw this personality trait in an online post. Perceptive and

  3. Job offers

    TAKOO01 replied to Bunnygal's topic in Advanced Practice

    Having a job with a great work/life balance is wonderful. I can imagine that you want to think carefully before giving it up. There are a few things to consider. What is it in your current benefits...

  4. Pain management

    TAKOO01 replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    I did not make the original comment, but I want to say that I think I understand some of what the poster was trying to say. I believe that the poster was trying to say that with inner city addicts,...

  5. Pain management

    TAKOO01 replied to Matt8700's topic in Emergency

    This is a great explanation. It helps me to understand a bit about why providers do what they do, and why I should be careful before judging their actions.

  6. Nurse calls cops after woman seeks help for postpartum depression. Right call?

    TAKOO01 replied to Accolay's topic in Nursing News

    Wow, what a lovely mom and baby. She is really a good person, being that she says she will not sue. She is concerned about the low income patients who may lose funding if she won a lawsuit. It is...

  7. Relocation

    TAKOO01 replied to pediatrics1's topic in Nursing Career

    Maybe so, I was just guessing at the definitions. OP might have to do a bit of go ogling or maybe contact her

  8. Advice for a struggling nursing student

    TAKOO01 replied to cade23's topic in Nursing Career

    Hi, You say you are struggling, but not failing. It sounds like you are still in the game. Lots of people struggle in nursing school but still graduate and become good nurses. Just because it's hard...

    TAKOO01 replied to pediatrics1's topic in Nursing Career

    I think that reciprocity between states means that a nurse can practice in those participating states without further exams, applications or CE. The states have an agreement that their nursing...

  10. NYC - BMCC vs Hunter for Pre-Reqs

    TAKOO01 replied to colenativity's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You made me laugh with the "carnival ride" line. If you apply to NYC schools, it doesn't matter which CUNY you pick. Out of state - I dunno if they will care. I would take the easiest route, which...

    TAKOO01 replied to Christy1019's topic in Nursing News

    Of course, I'm not sure if race had anything to do wi th this case, but here is a quote from the article : A large body of research has shown that black patients are less likely to get appropriate...

  12. Mutt-ernity Ward

    TAKOO01 replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I do not work in a hospital. I did not even know this was a thing. It is a sign of the sense of entitlement that people have, the complete disregard for others. If I were a patient, I would hate to...

  13. Any thoughts on my idea.

    TAKOO01 replied to tmg4me's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    This sounds like home health minus the wound care/med administration / vents, etcetera. What is the advantage for the client to take your service as opposed to a home health agency that would provide...

  15. NY Mandates "BSN in 10"

    TAKOO01 posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, this happened last year, but I just found out about it last night. NYS now requires all RNs to have a BSN within ten years of licensure. People who are already nurses or are currently in school...

  16. NY Mandates "BSN in 10"

    TAKOO01 replied to TAKOO01's topic in General Nursing

    I think though, (could be wrong! ) that NYC has some other options besides hospitals that offer decent pay. The usual ADN avenues such as homecare and LTC can lead to careers that pay, even if...

  17. NY Mandates "BSN in 10"

    TAKOO01 replied to TAKOO01's topic in General Nursing

    This is history that helps me to understand a bit more about what is going on in nursing. I think, because I am new to this industry, that I am a bit shocked at how nurses seem to get batted about...

  18. NY Mandates "BSN in 10"

    TAKOO01 replied to TAKOO01's topic in General Nursing

    That's interesting - I will Google to see which state rescinded their law. I won't say that mandating a higher education is wrong, or that I want to see the NY law rescinded, but it has to make sense....

  19. NY Mandates "BSN in 10"

    TAKOO01 replied to TAKOO01's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Farawyn. I love your posts over in School Nursing. My concern for nurses like you is: what if you need to switch jobs? A prospective new employer may prefer that a new hire get the BSN. They may...

  20. NY Mandates "BSN in 10"

    TAKOO01 replied to TAKOO01's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, SaltySarcasticSally. The BSN program I am in adds little to my education and I feel like it is a racket, too. If the BSN is mandated, then there has to be a change in the curriculum...

    Congratulations to you for getting the BSN . I don't have a formula for getting a hospital job, but I say continue to apply while gaining experience at your current job. Eventually something may turn...

  23. California Senate Bill 349

    TAKOO01 replied to reatta89's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Can someone help me to understand why the safe staffing ratio bills appear to be confined to California? Is it because of progressive politicians or just super active nurses? What can I do to help to...

  24. Choose Your Favorite TV Nurse

    TAKOO01 replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    I second Nurse Jackie. I think some nurses felt she had a negative effect on the perception of the profession, but I believe she underscored how easy it is to have an addiction and mask it. She did...

  25. Failing my first semester of nursing school... any suggestions?

    TAKOO01 replied to ROCTJ's topic in General Students

    Hello, This sounds frustrating for you. Try to switch up the way you study. Are you allowed to record professors? If so, record them and listen to them all day- in the car, washing dishes, etc. Do you...
