  1. Best BSN school Houston/Corpus Christi TX area?

    Jerico replied to Sandy Cheeks's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was in CC two weeks ago and I'd love to go to a BSN program on the beach! It is REALLY nice down

  2. Workplace bullies

    Jerico replied to spaniel's topic in Nurse Management

    Actually that is REALLY a great research issue: Bullies in the workplace. My 'wonderful" preceptor would be the first I'd study. She actually told a frequent flyer, as she is standing at the nurses...

  3. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    Jerico replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    To just be around the medical field, clinically. To have flexible hours. To make decent money. Because dh's company gone bankrupt after he's worked there 27 years; they hosed his retirement fund....

  4. Steroids for pneumonia?

    Jerico replied to longforseaair's topic in General Nursing

    Have seen it given (in ER) with

  5. I'm worried if i passed!!! HELP!!

    Jerico replied to jeepgyrl24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Probably. Depends on how many Turkey days they took! :) I think it is 7$ for 48 hour result? Can't

  6. I'm worried if i passed!!! HELP!!

    Jerico replied to jeepgyrl24's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Sometimes board is slower than PEARSON. If Pearson answer is "pass" you pass!! HURRAAHHHHH for you! :balloons:

  7. Just finished NCLEX-RN #2....

    Jerico replied to mye614's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Don't beat up on yourself so much! I know it is hard, but the worrying will not help you will it? Take a break. Do something to distract - do you

  8. Zoloft???

    Jerico replied to grannypatches's topic in General Nursing

    If you aren't on anti-depressants before you start nursing school you will be before you finish!:chair: Just kidding! Has your son been listening to Tom

  9. Does bankruptcy affect the eligibility to take the NCLEX OR OBTAIN LICENSE??

    Jerico replied to airis's topic in General Nursing

    No, I don't think I remember anything on the NCLEX application/license etc. Now, felony, yes, there was a box to check for THAT. But as far as I know there is no crime in filing

  10. Needle Stick on myself, Oops

    Jerico replied to Adam D. RN2005's topic in First Year After Licensure

    :yeahthat:

  11. You'd think I was applying to CIA! Background checks

    Jerico replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

    Wait until you try for a license in Texas! They do FBI background check, two sets of fingerprints, too. I asked them if they needed my first born son, too!

  12. homeless pt's?

    Jerico replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    Well, it IS natural selection - a plan. Yes we all are here for a purpose - fit or not fit to survive. Of course. There is NO price on life. Life is

  13. homeless pt's?

    Jerico replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    Be careful, you do not know what I have or have not been through. People who are molested get help, people that are raped get help. I am not saying they "get over it" - but they have a capacity to...

  14. homeless pt's?

    Jerico replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    I am not saying he should die. Heaven's no! I am saying those that are not as strong (emotionally, mentally, or physically) will not survive as well or as long. Being a parent of a mentally ill...

  15. homeless pt's?

    Jerico replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    And WHY can they not keep it together? Exactly what you have said in the example of your son: mental illness. Are people with mental illness to the point they cannot survive on their own meant to...

  16. homeless pt's?

    Jerico replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    Why would someone "look down on you your whole life?"? So you are saying the "excuse" for not being strong is that people may have looked down on you all your life? Being homeless NOT by choice is...

  17. homeless pt's?

    Jerico replied to scrmblr's topic in Emergency

    Precisely! Everyone who is placed on this earth is not meant to be a survivor. Survival of the fittest is exactly what I think is the reason they do die at an earlier age. There have often been...

  18. Transferring..good idea or not

    Jerico replied to Cheries's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ITA

  19. homeless pt's?

  20. I'm worried if i passed!!! HELP!!

  22. Umbilical clamp cutter

    Jerico replied to Marijke's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This happened to me with my second child. They sent the clamp home ON. I was curious - but figured since it had been a while (10 years) it was a "new standard" (I wasn't a nurse at the time, either)....

  23. 16.50 Starting Wage for a Grad Nurse???? Oh No! Say it Ain't So.....

    Jerico replied to chattypattyCRNA2B's topic in General Nursing

    Ditto here in San Antonio. If new nurses who KNOW a hospital needs RNs would wrinkle up their noses as $16.50/hr and remind the recruiter that is LOW for an RN (assuming it is BSN) - AND BE PREPARED...

  24. Ahhh!! What now?

    Jerico replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My daughter had this problem. She went to the nursing school (a good private one here in Texas) and told them, and they said she could do a Chemistry on line - in fact TWO! She did General and...

  25. Would you choose an Associates OR Bachelors in nursing? need your opinions, please.

    Jerico replied to apexsw20trd's topic in General Nursing

    Most definately the BSN. Reasons: 1. If you are competing with an equally experienced/non-experienced "less than a BSN" YOU will get the job 9/10 times. Hospitals, agencies, etc want BSNs nearly...
