  1. Become a nurse in just 12 months!!!

    Like it or not, nursing is going the way of "Cracker Jack Box" degrees. At least, that is what many people I have talked to feel like. This either means nursing is way underrated or way overrated.
  2. NP Scope of Practice

    I currently live in Tennessee and would like to become a NP. Ultimately, I would like to open a small rural clinic, possibly providing a large portion of my services to the Amish. I am familiar with one community in particular, and they say they woul...
  3. Evil OB

    I am a very gentle person and would definitely feel violated as a patient if he handled me this way. I would be very upset and angry. I can't believe there have not been complaints against this jerk.
  4. I know how you feel exactly. I get sick of having to give explanations about where my children are and who they are with. I homeschool my children, and it is as bad when you have them out during the day and people ask why they are not in school. My ...
  5. Med error,I'm suspended,I need advice,please!

    Yes, that strikes me as very odd. It seems like there is a lot of the puzzle that is missing.

  7. question for private duty nurses...any out there?

    I work private duty and love it, but it has always been a real pain in the neck when it comes to asking for any time off, the staffing coordinator acts like I'm just asking too much. The pay is fair but the way I see it, they don't take out taxes, th...
  8. The Patients Who Break Your Heart

    43 yr. old male in LTC who had been paralyzed since 19 from a car wreck. He died from a seizure not long ago. Never got to live his life.
  9. Verbal abuse in the OR

    Can you imagine what it must be like to be married to this jerk?
  10. Am I Being Too Sensitive

    Yes, me too.
  11. When did you take off for maternity leave?

    When I had my last child, I worked up until the night she was born. I worked the 3-11 shift at a LTC facility and in the evenings when things would quiet down I would sit in an office chair and roll myself up and down the halls to check on patients. ...
  12. Interested in becoming a FNP

    I have an associate degree in nursing and am interested in possibly becoming a FNP and working out of my own office doing humanitarian cases in a rural area. Would a school take me seriously if I have an AS degree from Excelsior and an online BSN fro...
  13. Trouble getting job

    It's not true to say these states will not accept the degree, because the only state not accepting Excelsior graduates at all is California. These other states that don't directly accept the degree *will* accept it with some stipulations, like Illi...
  14. Is there any CRNA schools that did not fill seats

    But there is an age limit on joining the army resrves? At 30 I think I've missed that ship.
  15. Oh what a night!

    If I walked in and read that on the communication sheet I'd turn around and walk back out. Seriously, a sense of humor is a MUST in the nursing home, an absolute MUST. The only way the staff and I survived nights like you just described was with a s...
  16. EKG class/ACLS/PALS

    I'm currently a home health RN who would like to get some training to work in ICU. I'm signed up for the mentioned classes, but is there something else I should consider? Thanks
  17. Looking for work in Cali!!!!!!!!!!!

    What a wonderful thought that a person could work for a few months pulling in around $15 grand a month and go back home to live the rest of the year and not have to worry about working! Maybe I'm just a dreamer, but this to me is a dream worth lookin...
  18. EKG class/ACLS/PALS

    Well, I've never actually worked in a hospital. Out of nursing school I worked in a nursing home and now am doing home health. I'd just like a change. I realize that it was a mistake not to get some type of hospital experience, but I just kind of got...
  19. working vs school, not seeing kids

    Texas LVN, I empathize with you wholly. I have three children ages 4, 6 and 8 and I cannot remember a time I wasn't either going to school or working. I feel like I missed out on a lot of precious time, and I'm trying to see that no more time is lost...
