  1. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    guest940422 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    At the end of the day it's a social contract. We get vaccinated to protect the people who can't. Herd immunity requires 93-95% of the population to be immunized or it stops working. It's not for you,...

    guest940422 replied to MelissaMarie617's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Damn you're a Bad ass! That is a crazy load. Great

  3. Kaplan or uworld

    guest940422 replied to Ertr's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I dont know anything about uworld, but I only took Kaplan because the hospital paid for me to as part of my GN program. I wished I had taken it before nursing school. They don't focus on content. By...

  4. Has anyone every taken A&P2 and Microbiology at the same time?

    guest940422 replied to MelissaMarie617's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it that way too and regretted the hell out of it. I didn't even have a job at the time, the only thing I had to do is school and I struggled bad. I got an A in A&P 1 so I figured I could...

    guest940422 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Check out a podcast called Science VS by Gimlet Media. They basically do extensive literature reviews, speak to leading academics (on both sides), and lay out an objective dumbed down summary of their...

  6. Only certain departments in hospital got a pay increase?

    guest940422 replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    So funny! When I moved to days, I would make everyone put up the food and clean up before shift change. Someone protested and said "we should leave it all out for night shift" When I told her they...

  7. Only certain departments in hospital got a pay increase?

    guest940422 replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    If it were a surprise reward as a celebration or thank you for having no falls I could see it as a gesture aimed at retention. If its a prize you have to earn, I wouldn't show

  8. Only certain departments in hospital got a pay increase?

    guest940422 replied to RNingBSNing's topic in General Nursing

    ER? They are a money pit. But a hospital can't take medicare without one. When minimum wage went up, I was working in an HCA facility. They sent out a house-wide email saying HCA doesn't do anything...

    You're going to have trouble getting insurance. And you'll need GOOD insurance. My cousin is an underwriter for a malpractice insurance company. She doesn't approve any of those because you're...

  10. Is there a need for this?

    guest940422 replied to overtonis's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I'll take your class, can you include patent law for products and how to be a consultant/inspirational

  11. 2018 Spring RN - BSN

    guest940422 replied to Linexox's topic in University of Texas Arlington

    You're getting in, don't worry. UTA has a huge program and accepts anyone with a halfway decent GPA. They are also really awesome about taking transfer credits. I just graduated from the program. They...

    guest940422 replied to erivee's topic in School, College Programs

    Don't waist your energy on raising your english grade. A "B" is fine in English. They want to see your A&P scores. I graduated from Alvin and their policy at the time was even if you retake a...

  13. Intrusive application questions!

    guest940422 replied to Scorchednurse's topic in Nursing Career

    They are walking a fine line with this, same with not hiring smokers. The point of HIPPA was to keep people from being discriminated against based on their health. It stopped banks from refusing loans...

  14. HELP. I AM DROWNING

    guest940422 replied to Gus0110's topic in Nursing Career

    I usually tell people nursing school doesn't teach you how to be a nurse, it teaches you how to pass your boards. We teach you how to be a nurse after you start working. The problem is, in school you...

  15. How far to push a high profile reference.

    guest940422 replied to guest940422's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not really sure about this part. The market is so different in this city, most offers are about $10/hour less than I made in Houston. I just keep telling recruiters I expect to make less here and...

  16. How far to push a high profile reference.

    guest940422 replied to guest940422's topic in Nursing Career

    Ya I definitely learned that the hard way, I won't be making that mistake again. I figured out the reason I wasn't getting my application past HR was because of an algorithm after all. I found a...

  18. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    guest940422 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    If you already have access to your school's library just look up peer reviewed articles from medical/nursing journals published in the last 5 years. There is a mountain of research, literary reviews,...

  19. Frustrated and Lost

    guest940422 replied to Genafaggion's topic in Nursing Career

    I know how you feel, I've had some really big career set backs over the last year. I know they say nurses eat their young but I feel like I got that backward. When I was a new grad and early in my...

  20. How far to push a high profile reference.

    guest940422 replied to guest940422's topic in Nursing Career

    You're right, I was trying to show how involved in committee work I like to be and how I don't turn down opportunities to be a super user or help with education fairs. But I do that stuff because I...

    guest940422 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    So this happens to me A LOT I finally got a good titer by literally getting my titers drawn two days after I got the vaccine... at my next job my titer was low again for MMR. I looked into the CDC...

  22. How far to push a high profile reference.

    guest940422 replied to guest940422's topic in Nursing Career

    No I meant I never imagined I would not get the job. It was a PICU job. Nearly all my experience is in PICU, I was trying really hard not to act entitled or too confident. I came to the interview with...

  23. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    guest940422 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Think about it this way, a hospital can't refuse to hire you because you are an Orthodox Jew, they can refuse to hire you if you refuse to work Saturdays if that is required of your position. An...

  24. Mandatory Vaccine Waiver in Nursing School/Clinicals

    guest940422 replied to firecracker_1's topic in General Students

    Any lab corp that does the ppd and drug screens does the qft also, if you get titers drawn too you may not have to get as many waivers. Often the shots you had as a kid are still working. To be clear...

    guest940422 replied to guest940422's topic in Nursing Career

    I don't want to work on a unit for a manager who doesn't want me... that would be hell. I just want the opportunity to meet with other managers who are hiring. It is entirely possible I didn't get the...
