  2. Dosage Question

    beekee replied to dancrinme's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  4. What nursing field is best

    beekee replied to Dewater4's topic in General Nursing

    Unless you hate the ICU, then it's not the best. What is best for you depends on your interests, goals, skill, and education. Do you want to work Monday through Friday and have weekends and nights...

  8. Favorite nursing job or specialty

    beekee replied to nursemayj's topic in General Nursing

    Someone posted awhile back a really good response to a similar question. You need to evaluate what you like and what your strengths are, and you might be able to identify some areas that you might...

  9. Nurses: You've Been LIED to about your Back and Body Mechanics

    beekee replied to Lynda Lampert, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I was told in nursing school that "proper body mechanics" is a fallacy. My first job was in a no lift facility. Every room had a track in the ceiling. Unfortunately, no one priced out the equipment...

  10. Everyday Nurse problems

    beekee replied to babarfirasat's topic in General Nursing

    AmoLucia: it was those pesky iso signs that some malcontent kept stealing so we'd never know who had special precautions, if we are both thinking of the same post. How about a way to measure the...

  11. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    beekee replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    For what it's worth, I did community college (ASN), western governors (BSN) and western governors (MSN). I did all three for probably around $20,000. And the whole thing took me about 3.5 years. No...

  13. Everyday Nurse problems

    beekee replied to babarfirasat's topic in General Nursing

    The armbands seem to be weighted so the part you are suppose to scan is at the lowest point. So annoying! Can you make everything Bluetooth so there aren't so many freaking cords? Call light, phone,...

  14. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    beekee replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    And no one thinks they'll leave Nursing but many do. It can be a physically and mentally stressful job. Some leave by choice; some are forced to leave due to injuries. I wouldn't spend $80k for a...

  15. Is spending $80,000 on a private ABSN school a waste

    beekee replied to Big_Mike's topic in General Students

    Well, I will tell you that I had a bachelor's degree before I did nursing school. I did my prerequisite courses (2 semesters) and then did as Associates degree (3 semesters) at a community college....

  16. Dui/difficult past and becoming a nurse

    beekee replied to mlind530's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I'd be more worried about the DUIs than the statement that you were considering working in a strip club. I would never judge you for trying to make a legal living. Neither, however, will likely...

  17. Why Do Nurses Quit?

    beekee replied to Nurse Beth's topic in General Nursing

    Dragonnurse1, funny you should comment n my post. Just tonight, I came home and decided I'm done with nursing. I can't do it. Frankly, I can't understand how anyone can. If I thought it was going to...

  18. Old New Grad w/ 4 weeks orientation

    beekee replied to shakeela1027's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Definitely go for it. If you need more orientation after the four weeks, it sounds like you'll get it, they just don't want to agree to it before they know if you need it. You likely know far more...

  19. Doctor Knows Best?

    beekee replied to logicalfallacy's topic in General Nursing

    Whenever I run across a patient with an allergy to a prescribed medicine, I try to find out what the reaction is. Sometimes, the "allergy" is really a side effect (such as an upset stomach or...

  20. I failed out of nursing school midway, now what?

    beekee replied to Jkliu888's topic in General Students

    1. Do the 2 year program. 2. Stop being the unofficial class president and focus on your studies. 3. During your year off, work as a CNA. 4. Figure out why you failed and work to change so it...

  21. Jobs that nursing pre reqs qualify you for?

    beekee replied to callicarpa's topic in General Nursing

    Some places will reimburse you for the cost of the CNA class if you work for them for a certain period of time. I know it's a law, but I'm not sure if it's state or federal and I don't know if it for...

  22. Super anxious december grad

    beekee replied to Bpayn005's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you sure you weren't laid off? Just because your employer let you go, doesn't mean you were fired. I'd double check with a lawyer. Or maybe even ask your former employer if they would consider...

  23. Will being a home health nurse hurt my chances of getting hired into a hospital?

    beekee replied to eliza82beth's topic in Nursing Career

    Will going back to the hospital setting negatively affect you and your family? Take a long look at why you want to be a CRNA. Are the years as an RN in the ICU and then in school worth it? If it is,...

  24. Nova Southeastern University or Miami Dade college for nursing school?

    beekee replied to Sweetie's topic in School, College Programs

    I don't know either school, but... 1. Look at NCLEX pass rates for both schools. Higher is not always better. Some schools weed out everyone they think won't pass the NCLEX in order to keep the pass...

  25. Can't handle the ICU
