  1. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Miss Mab replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

    As I really don't see a lot of strep in our ER...... Quick question: Did they even bring your D/C instructions to

  2. SC Nursing Board Abuses Power & Authority

    Miss Mab replied to kristie0701's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. The danger, though, would be in making any assumption that the ever more intrusive(and costly$$$) measures being put into place---in CA at least----are somehow only going to be applicable to...

  3. SC Nursing Board Abuses Power & Authority

    Miss Mab replied to kristie0701's topic in General Nursing

    I added onto a CA Board Thread recently about some of the ALARMING new procedures being put into place there that grant the BRN incredibly intrusive powers over personal and employment info(including...

  4. A Question for California RNs...

    Miss Mab replied to jaralocan38's topic in General Nursing

    Surprisingly, CA BRN does not include any questions about mental health or drug use history on their licensure applications. They do include legal convictions, though. Good luck to your

  5. What would you do?

    Miss Mab replied to Guest219794's topic in Emergency

    I had a very similar situation I posted about on the ER threads--it was a while ago--and most of the responses were a variation on the theme that others would NEVER give certain meds w/out a DD in...

  6. Any nursing mom can relate?

    Miss Mab replied to MELY13's topic in General Nursing

    Source, please? Not for the self righteousness--just the one about incarceration rates.

  7. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    Miss Mab replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    Beat me to it.... Wtbcrna--- Nope, still hold the same job. 46F and no doubt there's a lot of static A/C training and related currencies to keep up with that are quite time consuming as Rghbsn...

  8. Do you ever feel like you short-changed someone?

    Miss Mab replied to RNMarykay's topic in General Nursing

    I suggest that a great majority of nurses feel this sentiment to some extent each and every shift. I also submit that it is this same internalized(and falsely) sense of failure happening on a...

  9. really struggling with my decision...chewed out by another rn!

    Miss Mab replied to erin01's topic in General Nursing

    The other RN was a witch and clearly is not interested in 'offering' her wisdom and guidance to you as a relative newbie. She's toxic--you've been served---make a mental note of those you can count on...

  10. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    Miss Mab replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Jay! I know you're very excited about your plans and goals but I'm not sure this is exactly accurate... You said: "Army vs. Airforce Army has better bonus' usually but you are trained to be a...

  11. Air Force Nursing Bonus, Student Loan Repayment

    Miss Mab replied to missmiss's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Anmorgan-- I see you are new to the forum and have asked some pretty important questions. There's lots of good info here and I would suggest searching through many of the posts as I think you'll...

  12. Suboxone and Nursing

    Miss Mab replied to fulfillment's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Thanks for the topic--for those of us in CA, at least, the discussion couldn't be more timely.. First, to the OP: I'm sorry I don't know anything about Texas licensing issues but I suspect, like most...

  13. CA BRN proposals

    Miss Mab posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    hi all-- just wondering if anyone else was following the frenzied rush-to-fix-up the board's highly publicized messes and the multiple proposals submitted by state legislative staff and from the...

  14. How to do a Commissioning Ceremony?

    Miss Mab replied to Spencer2002's topic in Government, Military

    I did mine at a Mail Boxes, etc.(UPS Store) with just me and the tie-dye wearin' notary guy that works there. It was exactly appropriate for my purposes and, in retrospect, has served to suit my...

  15. flight nursing in the air force?

    Miss Mab replied to KR's topic in Flight, Surface Transport

    Great detail. Good luck on your path! Just a minor clarification---numbers 8-11 actually do not apply to flight nurses. Those items are for enlisted med tech training. Seems like someone combined both...

  16. If healthcare reform resulted in salary caps of $40k for nurses would you stay?

    Miss Mab replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    Hmmm....now that is funny. Definitely something to ponder. I can think of one group who realistically should be able to do so w/a reasonable likelihood of being able to start over and find success in...

  17. Need advice

    Miss Mab replied to labchic's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Just random advice: I'd wait. No solid and backed up reasons for you(except maybe the current new grad issues that should likely change by the time you're done anyway, etc.) and maybe because it seems...

  18. Frustrated and considering a career change

    Miss Mab replied to xEdgexRNx's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, you'd be surprised at just how much the Army and other of our Armed Forces are actually not 'hiring' nurses at the moment. Or certainly, there is no quickie path for someone to go that route. Of...

  19. Quick Q&A about this union business.

    Miss Mab replied to CAnurse22's topic in Collective Bargaining, Union

    i'm sure someone else actually 'in the know' will come along with a better fleshed out answer but fwiw: and again, you absolutely do not have to pay a union if you don't want to. particularly if...

  20. Time Management or Personal Boundaries?

    Miss Mab replied to keithjones's topic in General Nursing

    So, in answer to your question, No. No, it's not a matter of the nurses having the self confidence/assertiveness/personal gumption or even strong 'boundaries' to be able to stay on task and not...

  21. Word problems/mixture

    Miss Mab replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    Ok, ummmm... Then my answer's still... wait for it... 10.

  22. Word problems/mixture

    Miss Mab replied to seasoned hopeful's topic in General Students

    um, well..... Honestly I appreciate when anyone trys to help someone else when they're feeling stuck---especially on these kind of brain freeze ?'s---but I kinda think you might've got a little ahead...

  23. OBLC ht/wt/body fat% questions

    Miss Mab replied to LZRN's topic in Government, Military

    Hey! That's a mile and a half for the AF. And fyi, starting 2010 that test has to be passed twice a year. That's right, we spread the fear....

  24. Reserve to Active duty question

    Miss Mab replied to RealNut's topic in Government, Military

    How far out is his time at Rucker? You probably know it can sometimes be a lengthy process getting to commission and while transitioning to active is generally looked upon favorably I think that's...

  25. Disqualification for the NROTC

    Miss Mab replied to Tia43's topic in Government, Military

    Hi Tia, I can't speak to ROTC issues or whether they hold the same physical requirements but I am positive that anemia can be waived for commissioning. Now, that said, be aware that while a great...
