  1. Problems Before Nursing School

    AngelKissed857 replied to Remia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had to provide proof of health insurance recently for the WOC program at Cleveland

  2. Why are so many nurses against unions?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Icunicenurse's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    I would love some advice on becoming unionized. I'm in a dialysis clinic, our corporate structure includes a LOT of clinics. We're seriously underpaid. Every single nurse I work with says they...

  3. Trump's 'religious conscience'

    AngelKissed857 replied to PediatricMA's topic in General Nursing

    I'm absolutely opposed to a-hole politicians who want this country to be run by their personal relgious views, while destroying healthcare, education, and any form of middle class. Although I have no...

  4. Confused about WOCN

    AngelKissed857 replied to Forest2's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    The program and books were right about $6k. Food housing (air bnb) car and airfare we're about $3000 I

  5. Feeling like I'm not making a difference

    AngelKissed857 replied to Wrestler133's topic in General Nursing

    A very wise nurse once said to me-actually says at least once a month- "you can't save them all". It sounds flippant, but it's not, not at all. I work with ESRD patients. Literally, my entire...

  6. Vaccination for clinical

    AngelKissed857 replied to Grad 2020's topic in General Students

    John, there are NO exemptions, no way around it. And you will have to prove not only that you had those vaccination, but that you remain "immune" for every job you ever apply for as a RN. I had to...

  7. How qualified need to be for a peritoneal dialysis (PD) position?

    AngelKissed857 replied to AZNurse2015's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I can't speak to DaVita specifically, but if you have dialysis experience, PD will be more interested in you than someone without. They have a set salary that they offer based on your experience, and...

  8. Confused about WOCN

    AngelKissed857 replied to Forest2's topic in Wound, Ostomy, Continence

    I recently completed the Cleveland Clinic WOC program. All the didactic is online- takes about 5 months. Then you can find your own preceptor to do clinicals, but HIGHLY recommend doing the 3 week...

  9. ARE MOST RN SCHOOLS LIKE THIS??

    AngelKissed857 replied to Anon143's topic in School, College Programs

    That tutoring is available at all is great! And yes, that is the norm, at least in California. Less than 75% on any test is a fail, no other worked added until and unless you have a minimum grade of...

  10. Concerned

    AngelKissed857 replied to exit96's topic in General Nursing

    Joe, The thing with dialysis techs is that they do tend to have a "gang" mentality in many places. There is also frequently a ethnic divide between techs and nurses. I'm very surprised though that...

  11. local anesthesia and drug test

    AngelKissed857 replied to jojojojojojo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Relax! I take a prescribed medication that would be a huge red flag if reported to a school or my employer. What happens if you don't pass is that the testing company contacts you and asks for an...

  12. Terrified...is this normal?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Piper98's topic in General Students

    It's not abnormal. While that wasn'tnt my personal experience, I was kind of the go-to person for every student who did experience it. I was 57 and the class mom, and cannot tell you how often I...

  13. Vet prescribed CBD oil for my cat

    AngelKissed857 replied to bitter_betsy's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I'd love to hear if this helps down the road. I have a dog I've been contemplating using it on. Insanely severe anxiety- Prozac made it even worse. We've tried every natural and pharmacological thing...

  14. Quitting the StaRN program?

    AngelKissed857 replied to Goinmyownway's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I read about these ratios that y'all throw out the and it's scary. Why aren't all we all-inclusive every state, joining forces to pass safe ratios in every nursing environment across the board? When...

  15. Phone Interview w DaVita

    AngelKissed857 replied to BlueHearts53's topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    I'm a PD dialysis nurse and absolutely adore my job. I will tell you that the learning curve is huge! I work for a competitor. If it's anything like what I do, you will do a great deal of case...

  16. Outrageous Complaints

    AngelKissed857 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Nursing

    In our area the Humane Society will go to a patient's home with police to welfare check

  17. Old nurse won't retire

    AngelKissed857 replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    I think that the economic impact may be huge. I dunt know what part of the country this nurse lives in, but maybe she suddenly realized she's about to returire to $300 a month heating bills. It sounds...

  21. What nursing specialty has the best work life balance?

    AngelKissed857 replied to dianearc's topic in General Nursing

    Best- no calls! Seriously none. Worst, maybe 2 phone call as a day and had to go in to meet one or at the clinic for probably 90

  22. Failed two sciences and I can't get into a nursing program.....is there still any hope?

    AngelKissed857 replied to mn00's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    A five-year wait on repeats? I've never heard of that, wondering if you are confusing that with a five- year recency requirement? And any requirements like that are school specific. If a BSN nurse is...
