  1. How much do you pay monthly for Health insurance?

    AliNajaCat replied to LDAthleteNurse's topic in General Students

    I'm self-employed but here in MA we've all been required to have health insurance for a lot longer than the ACA has been around. I cover just myself. I have always shopped for coverage with my...

    AliNajaCat replied to Nk31's topic in School, College Programs

    Mmmm, are you sure the others don't have the same requirement? Good

  4. need advice

    AliNajaCat replied to zurus's topic in General Students

    The school would be able to tell the OP if that is the case in her state; if it is, the BoN would be well aware that ABC University only awards degrees in May and Dec (or whatever) and may already...

  5. To transfer or not?

    AliNajaCat replied to warthawg's topic in General Students

    Nursing schools are notorious for not accepting academic credit for nursing classes in transfer. Good luck, and get it all in writing before you

  6. Regis college(MA) ABSN reviews!!!

    AliNajaCat replied to Nk31's topic in School, College Programs

    What's confusing you? Curry is in Milton, Simmons is in Boston, and Salem State is in Salem. They're all good. While you're at it, take a good look at the excellent co-op program at Northeastern, also...

  7. need advice

    AliNajaCat replied to zurus's topic in General Students

    They're right. The Board of Nursing will not allow you to register to take NCLEX until you have graduated. If your college doesn't grant you a degree earlier, they don't. There is no -- NO-- way...

  8. Looking for legal advice

    AliNajaCat replied to Ameel15's topic in General Students

    Yeah, we can't give legal advice. However, I'd listen to her other choices and take one. But if you really want to see a lawyer, get an opinion from a local nurse atty at TAANA, The American...

  9. intake and output

    AliNajaCat replied to marthy055's topic in General Students

    And why do you think it would be important to know somebody's fluid balance? Did they teach you about cardiac output, congestive heart failure, renal failure, dehydration, diuretics, anything like any...

  10. Help with chest tube removal questions

    AliNajaCat replied to ezther's topic in General Nursing

    I've never worked anyplace where RNs remove chest tubes-- it's usually the low-man-on-the-totem-pole R1s. God knows I've talked enough of them through it,

  11. Med-surg or OR? Need advice ASAP.

    AliNajaCat replied to Axmann, RN, BSN, NREMT-B's topic in General Nursing

    Yep, OR it is. But be sure the other place will never, never be attractive to you, because if you accepted the job there and then go back and say, "Never mind," they'll never look at you

  12. Can you get strep if tonsils have been removed?

    AliNajaCat replied to ShutterBug's topic in General Nursing

    Just in case anybody cares, "strep" is not short for "wicked bad sore throat," which is what a lot of earlier posters seem to believe. You can get Streptococcus whether you have tonsils or

  13. Suspended without pay for expired TB requirement?

    AliNajaCat replied to lsvalliant's topic in General Nursing

  14. Lost grade

    AliNajaCat replied to Bellvue's topic in General Students

    Yes, you do. They are all your faculty. Approach one and ask for advice on this. One may suggest something useful, and one may offer to

  15. First clinical assignment! ...Oncology?!

    AliNajaCat replied to LilyBentley's topic in General Students

    Your first clinical rotation, eh? What do you think you will be learning there? Perhaps your faculty reasons that there is a lot of basic material to be covered, like how to talk and listen to a...

    AliNajaCat replied to Bonnie Bailey's topic in School, College Programs

    Not my interpretation, all of it is right off the FL BoN nursing site. But hey. Good

  17. Lost grade

    AliNajaCat replied to Bellvue's topic in General Students

    And you only have one nursing faculty member? Counting lectures? I find that hard to

  18. First week- will I die of boredom?

    AliNajaCat replied to gypsierose's topic in General Students

    You know, I just had to reiterate this. As to the OP saying that some other student's opinion of nursing and theory is just what she thought she would hear, well, it's what she wanted to hear. And...

  20. intake and output

    AliNajaCat replied to marthy055's topic in General Students

    It's a simple subtraction. Examples: I = 1500, O = 1200. Net is intake > output by 300cc. This is often charted as "+300cc." I = 1500, O = 1800. Net is output > intake by 300 cc. "-300cc" I =...

  22. Advice!!!!!!

    AliNajaCat replied to SouthernNurse90's topic in General Students

    Plenty of nurses go out for a drink after work in uniforms or scrubs-- the folks coming off nights tossing back a beer at 0800 are well-documented, LOL, though they aren't wearing anything that...

    AliNajaCat replied to marthy055's topic in General Students

  25. Would it be Wrong?

    AliNajaCat replied to kellylauren's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I can't believe this is a real post. "Miss a chance at love" sounds like something right out of a teen mag. But just in case, OP: No. Just.
