  1. What is your watch preference?

    Good but it isn't allowed even in CNA classes where I taught.
  2. HELP! regarding criminal background & nclex results

    Well...I can tell you that I wad arrested and never charged. Still showed up on my background. It took about 10 days once they got the paperwork. That was in TX though. They likely want a written statement from you and the charge sheet/arrest reco...
  3. Tattoos on Nurses- NZ

    I have a breast cancer ribbon tat...while 9 times out of 10 it is covered up..when people ask it can be a good teaching tool for patients on screening exams. Its on my forearm. Nobody has ever said anything about it. Then again..I don't make a big d...
  4. Squishy, lightweight clog recommendations?

    Landau comfort clogs..in TX I bought a pair for under 40 bucks.
  5. What is your watch preference?

    No digital! Ever. 3 hands always. I have had quite a few..from Timex with the glow to Tinkerbell..to some flashy water resistant ones from sears during their Christmas sales :) School likely wants you to have anything but a digital watch. Check walm...
  6. Stethoscope? Type...

    My Littmann gave me a rash...I quit wearing it around my neck for one. But yes, it looked like leprosy lol The ultrascope I loved, but it did the same thing. You can order covers that go over them, although depending on environment may not be the mos...
  7. What is your current LPN salary

    I have a friend in GA only making 21/hr, she was an LPN, now new grad RN (her experience has a PN didn't help raise her hourly rate at all, which is utter BS IMO. She makes what other new grad RNs make.)
  8. UltraScopes?

    If you google Ultrascope..a list of retailers pops up, as does the company website. Theres a check list of "needs" (based on hearing defecit, use etc), you honestly will only need the basic model for human use, unless you have a hearing problem. How...
  9. 3-12s days or 8-4 m-f (3 little boys at home)

    My ex was military, and deployed. The 3 12's are doable, but, it takes a lot of planning. I preffered the 12's with 3 small kids. The clinic hours were nice, but for the kids appointments and field trips it was hell trying to get off when working...
  10. PTSD & Nurses

    Aint that the truth..then again, look at how the VA handles it. I can personally testify to both accounts. You are better off having the big "C" in this country than a mental illness.
  11. You are my hero for the day :-D
  12. UltraScopes?

    You are very welcome, check offerup too..even getting a used one and comparing might be worth the while. Before a littman or ultrascope I had one that glowed in the dark, it was a cheap sprague one lmbo. I thought it was the coolest thing ever. Kids...
  13. It opens the door for employers to deny coverage to anything because of religon. People get wrapped up in the repro aspect of the ruling because in this country sex sells
  14. Most employers and HR people I have asked, themselves didn't know or understand. Imagine that
  15. In the 15 years I have worked, not once did I ever get briefed during an interview or prehire what my health insurance covered and what it didn't. Maybe I should move to where you are.
  16. No it cannot. And even if it could; monophasic pills can be taken as the morning after pill, which is covered. The IUD can induce a miscarriage, but for women who cannot use OC's, the IUD is a lifesaver.
  17. Maybe I am alone, but I am sick to death of a woman's vagina and uterus being front page on the political agenda. As women, we have a long way to go to equality. :-/
  18. Scrub tops for petite with larger chest?

    KOI & Rampage seem to fit without looking like clubwear or trashbags.
  19. What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    Landau FootweaRx Unisex Comfort Clog | allheart.com My daughter wants a pair of these just "because". Thats a 9 year old, and thats how comfortable they are.
  20. What's the BEST nursing shoes?

    Danskos or Landau clogs (I need to try to find the link, super cozy and about 40$ a pair, not as snazzy as the Danskos though. :/
  21. sports bras?

    Yes!! And I am endowed uptop. Under Armour makes large cup sizes they zip in the front and I love it! I can tell you which ones I love if you are so inclined to listen. :) I am a 32F, so I know the pain of the boobage lol
  22. UltraScopes?

    I have had one. Loved it, and thats probably why it got liberated. Anyhow, compared to the Cardio II? Hmmmm...if you are working on heavy cardio cases (ie ICU, CCU, PACU, ED), you very well may notice a difference. Albiet, slight; denying theres a d...
  23. Combat Nursing responsibilities and risks

    Downrange or stateside?
  24. New LPN Grad moving to Washington

    I live too far north to get an OR license. I am closer to Canada
  25. Deciding what to do

    Exactly what I did. I worked with RNs/FNPs who were not even medics that while on AD did green to gold. One was supply, the other a fueler. She cannot go wrong by enlisting first. Who she is at 18, and what her dreams entail, may not be the same on...
