1. AF OB Nurse

   SurgicalTechCST replied to MicheleMyBell27's topic in Government

   Im just a little curious about what you said. If it's competitive and even difficult to get in in the first place, why are they paying sign on bonuses at all? I would think sign on bonuses would only be needed if they were having some difficulty to g...

2. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   SurgicalTechCST replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   Shame 5 years studying the rules and regulations of hard and fast, scientifically backed health care policies of the nursing schools and clinical sites, only to be interested in how to go about getting around them successfully, and becoming a health ...

3. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   SurgicalTechCST replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   Scary?? No - that's absolutely frightening.

4. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

   SurgicalTechCST replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

   I would very cheerfully bet any named sum of money that it would involve more time to ride the legal battlewagon through that sort of court fight than is available to the OP for any employment anywhere doing anything for anyone, merely by virtue of ...

5. end of year sending meds home

   SurgicalTechCST replied to Apples&Oranges's topic in School

   I don't mean to sound obtuse, because I'm really not. Just a matter of lack of information more than anything, but I've read so many replies talking about snail-mailing paper letters home to parents, and it confuses me just a bit. The schools my chil...

6. Shoes, uniforms, shower after clinical?

   SurgicalTechCST replied to Barmherzigkeit's topic in General Students

   Ditto!!! AND after coming home from shopping, washing hands immediately. Also, I never put my purse in that seat where Lord only knows how many diapered backsides have been sitting, squirming, etc. I either leave it in the trunk of my car, with my ce...

8. Splendid Opportunities in Nursing

   SurgicalTechCST replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   There's one. It's about 2" thick. That's it! 53 lessons, one a week, for one year!

9. Splendid Opportunities in Nursing

   SurgicalTechCST replied to Brian's topic in Rock

   It was actually a total of 53 lessons - 52 if you don't count the first "introductory" lesson, where they talk about who they are, what they are going to do for you, what kind of person makes the best kind of nurse, study skills, etc., etc., ad infin...

10. Splendid Opportunities in Nursing

    SurgicalTechCST replied to Brian's topic in Rock

    I happen to have the text from this program. It is indeed a course for "Practical Nurses." I'm not sure exactly what the procedures were at the time regarding licensure for Practical Nurses as opposed to Registration for RNs. The copyright date is 19...

11. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    SurgicalTechCST replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    The operative word here is "survivable." Just what is "surviving?" A $200,000+ house, a new car or two every couple of years, shopping at the most kitschy, designer supermarket around for a lot of high-dollar gourmet, "organic" food (Is there such a ...

12. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    SurgicalTechCST replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    I see that - thanks for pointing that out.

13. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    SurgicalTechCST replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought - make sure she knows his "alias" name as well. Just so it won't slip past as if coming from someone else. Although, i seriously doubt he would ever follow through on his threats. If he knows anything about it, he would also know they...

14. HELP! Threats to call BON!

    SurgicalTechCST replied to Nechic01's topic in General Nursing

    Typical egotistical, "I am God's gift to women" blowhard who thinks you're all that and a bag of chips UNTIL you reject his unwarranted, unwanted advances, and THEN you suddenly become all the mean, nasty, unpronounceable things I simply won't repeat...

15. Whatever happened to going to school to be a nurse?

    SurgicalTechCST replied to indish's topic in General Nursing

    One thing I have not seen anyone mention is if the four year BSN and EVERYTHING else it encompasses is so absolutely essential to becoming a desirable, hireable, useful, essential "walk in the door" entry level model nurse, then where do all the RNs ...
