  1. Newly qualified nurse- being left in charge of the ward?!

    Leedeedee replied to Chloer43's topic in United Kingdom

    My only advice is to join UNISON, immediately. Then if anything comes up you can go chat to your rep in advance and they will help you navigate through all the rules and procedures and advocate for...

  2. Elderly Immigrints

    Leedeedee replied to imenid37's topic in Long Term Acute Care

    This, Immigration Officers are always on their best behaviour when there is an attorney to witness

  3. Help with vaccines for school please...

    Leedeedee replied to Bo3939's topic in General Students

    This makes absolutely no sense, as anyone who has had the BCG vaccination (as most people brought up outside the USA have) can't have the PPD test, as it'll show a false positive. Any school that...

  4. Smoking

    Leedeedee replied to keebler1995's topic in General Students

    I don't understand anyone smoking these days with the cheap and easy availability of e-cigarettes. Yeah vaping isn't exactly healthy, but much better for you than the real thing AND you won't smell...

  5. Viability cut-off in other countries?

    Leedeedee replied to adventure_rn's topic in Ob/Gyn

    In the UK it's 24 weeks to automatically provide treatment, but at 23 weeks, if the parents request it and the doctors feel it's appropriate,then they can make the individual clinical decision to...

  6. Hello! pre-med BSPH Student looking for guidance into ABSN programs :)

    Leedeedee replied to Manni26's topic in School, College Programs

    I think Julius Seizure meant Anesthesiologist Assistant. They do give anesthesia but are only licensed in certain states, but that seems to be increasing yearly. However there seems to be a big push...

  7. Canadian to work in Scotland?! HELP!

    Leedeedee replied to SarahBean9's topic in United Kingdom

  8. Education Conspiracy

    Leedeedee replied to Avid reader's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    uh

  9. Education Conspiracy

    Leedeedee replied to Avid reader's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Entry level nursing courses in the UK, Australia and NZ are now only available at Bachelor's degree level. The majority of UK nurses are still Diploma educated, but for new registrations they require...

  10. I failed the excelsior A&P 1 test!

    Leedeedee replied to THE1RN2b's topic in Excelsior College

    I would recommend taking a look at Study.com. The basic unlimited course package is about $40 per month (I wouldn't bother with paying extra for quizzes and you don't need their ACE credit package)...

  11. Joining national guard

    Leedeedee replied to Ashtimus Prime's topic in Government, Military

    Just a thought, do you already have your RN? If not, does your state allow RN students to challenge the LPN NCLEX after so many semesters, or with the addition of an extra course? That way you could...

  12. Future of GPs and FNPs

    Leedeedee posted a topic in General Nursing

    There has been a lot of discussion (arguments!) about the future of General Practice and whether MDs will still have a role. Is it possible this is entirely the wrong question. There is currently a...

  13. Nurse Practitioners in the UK?

    Leedeedee replied to kmiller79's topic in International Nursing

    All NHS jobs are supposed to be (but admittedly aren't always) advertised here NHS Jobs - Candidate Homepage You shouldn't be disadvantaged as long as you meet the critera

  14. Stanford Rape

    Leedeedee replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    "Hopefully someone will rape him in jail. And for the 6 months. I doubt he will even serve that amount. It is disgusting all around . I am sure he will do something like this again and it will be...

  15. When should I apply for VisaScreen?

    Leedeedee replied to judbelete's topic in Immigration Advice

    You can only get a H1B visa if you have a job that requires at least a bachelor's degree to perform. RN doesn't meet this criteria, even if you have a BSN, as you only need an associates degree to be...

  16. Embarrassing topic: sweating

    Leedeedee replied to quazar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Use a hair dryer to dry it, it's the only way or it'll take forever. I love that stuff for my underarms in the middle of summer. Put it onto dry underarms and nothing is getting through

  17. Embarrassing topic: sweating

    Leedeedee replied to quazar's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I get sweaty patches just below my boobs, no idea why, it's only there. I've finally discovered Sweat Block for it. It comes in individually packaged sheets impregnated with the industrial grade (or...

  18. Nurses, should I have kids now--or later?

    Leedeedee replied to chubbybunnie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My mother always said, make sure you're able to take care of yourself financially, at all times, without relying on a man. So, get your career sorted out before you have kids. She was wise, get the...

  19. CNA to ADN and CLEP

    Leedeedee replied to Silver Surfer's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There are labs available with online regionally accredited Community College courses. See Edukan for a start. For slightly more expensive pre reqs with lab look at American Public University and at...

  20. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Leedeedee replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    I call people by their first names. Maybe it's a culture thing, but here if you insist on being called by a title you will instantly get people's backs up and people will think you're suffering from...

  21. Should I be a nurse? Fears, bodily fluids etc

    Leedeedee replied to sarahamelia's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think you're creating a story in your head about how terrible bodily fluids are, and it's just not based in reality. I mean have you ever had to deal with them before? A baby's diaper? An ill pet...

  22. "I have a PhD, I know more than you do!"

    Leedeedee replied to MendedHeart's topic in General Nursing

    If I have to address someone as Dr #### then they have to address me as Ms Dee. It's only appropriate to use the title Doctor when you would usually use everyone's title. Eg This is Dr Green and Mrs...

  23. Blue hair

    Leedeedee replied to Fireflynurse's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    You could bleach it light blonde and then use temporary wash out colours over the top? That way it's acceptable for work as blonde, but on days off it's blue or purple or

  24. Is an accelerated BSN worth $87K?

    Leedeedee replied to KJet5's topic in General Students

    There's no need to take expensive pre-reqs as part of a program. Take the pre-reqs at community college. If you can't get into your local college then there are online regionally accredited...

  25. Is becoming a CNA worth the money?

    Leedeedee replied to HanHolle03's topic in General Students

    Can't really help with answering the question, but just wanted to say how great it is to see a 15 year old with such an awesome can-do attitude. A young person taking responsibility for, and planning...
