  1. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    Ruger8mm replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Most hospitals won't allow the clinical instructor to have any more students/patients than a regular floor nurse can have. So that's what, 4-5 patients. So does that mean you are doubling or tripling...

  2. Should I just go with this expensive college?

    Ruger8mm replied to KAThftf's topic in General Students

    Private colleges are a waste of money. Trust me. I have two degrees from private colleges. If I don't regret going to a private college every day, I at least regret it once a month when I pay my...

    Ruger8mm replied to gracy12's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

  11. Late arriving Nurses

    Ruger8mm replied to Goal_NP's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Who isn't busy? That is not an excuse. I've got two toddlers in the house. If your late, you didn't prepare or leave early enough. I manage to get my boys to the right places on time, dogs fed,...

    Ruger8mm replied to ctweed's topic in General Nursing

    Ruger8mm replied to Momma1RN's topic in General Nursing

  17. Off duty RN scope of practice on an airplane.

    Ruger8mm replied to creativekari's topic in General Nursing

    That poses an interesting question. IM Epi is 1:1,000 where cardiac IV Epi is 1:10,000. I would think in a cardiac situation there is a lot of math that needs to be done to swap them out. I assume the...

    Ruger8mm posted a topic in General Nursing

    My wife is just against me working a Baylor Shift and I think it is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Then I hear about nurses not even wanting to work 12's let alone a Baylor. Anyone else with...
