i interviewed twice for a general med/surg tele floor, shadowed a nurse on the floor and got an email from the manager that ended with "How would you like to join our team?"
that sounds like an offer to me.
gotta wait till Monday to actually hear those words from her mouth for it to sink in.

be prepared ladies. i have decided to go on a one woman mission to bring the turban for women back.
i know they tried to revive it on the catwalk a few years ago and it didn't catch on, and i know why. the turban is low on sex appeal. in an age where sex is equated with youth, the turban is a symbol of sophistication and a certain maturity. but i think it would be pretty practical for the glasgow winters, and i have discovered recently that i enjoy a sartorial challenge. so yeah. i need to get a nice big one though, as i a huge head. and also a lovely brooch to wear on it.

Hey All,
I'm an American interesting in going to nursing school. I'm interested in getting my RN and NP in one fell swoop. I currently have a BA. I know of two programs in the USA that offer this however both are horribly expensive. Does anyone know of any schools that aren't horribly expensive that have a program like this?
Thanks, Sara

Hi guys! Just wanted to say thanks for all the help/advice/info on flu shots! For the record, if you're in the LA area, there is ONE CVS minute clinic in Reseda on Victory and Tampa that has a steady supply of seasonal flu shots. Prepare for an hour or two wait though!!
Cheers and good luck to anyone whose starting in January like me! Comin' up fast!! Meep!

Do you think it's right for a nursing program to flunk someone for screwing up at clinical because of something that they couldn't control? What happened was, dude got a bad migraine and ended up passing out. As a result, he missed giving a patient their insulin (sliding scale coverage for TPN) at the proper time. He did it like 2 hours later (with the instructor's approval) when he realized he had forgotten because he blacked out. Now, for obvious reasons, this is a problem. However, I don't think the guy should fail the entire course because of it. I can see removing him from the program until he can demonstrate that the problem is under control, but I don't think they should give the guy an F for it (the whole class, not just the clinical day).

Hello, machine. You have been missed.
I'm fresh back from another week in the seaside town that they forgot to close down. In brief: it was ace. I made several excellent purchases, consumed many fine meals, met lovely new people, spent quality time with chums, and generally got to feel like myself for a week without putting up with peoples' bullshit.
Details to follow when I can be arsed dealing with the photos. Ten of your Earth gigabytes. Christ. Wedding photos to finish before that happens. Then burlesque adventure photos. Also I think I have three days of filming coming up in which I will be operating a proper, five-figure-sum video camera. Should really confirm the details of that one.
Toot toot, Interboot.

Hey guys! I'm from the LA area (specifically Burbank) and I wanted to check and see if anyone knew of any place to get a seasonal flu shot. I've called every Walgreens, CVS, Target, Walmart and grocery store in sight--the shortage has hit hard! I need a flu shot, or they won't let me do clinicals! AH!
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hey everyone,
I'm trying to answer this question and seem to be having a rather difficult time
Is the partial pressure of 02 in expired air, higher lower or the same as the partial pressure of o2 in the alveoli?
Does anyone know the correct answer?
Any help appreciated! Thank you!

So I'm working on my prereqs and hope to be applying next year and I'm looking into ways to pay for school without putting myself in even more debt. A few of my friends are serving with various branches of the military to pay for their schooling so I figured I would look into it. The two branches I'm most interested in are the Navy and the Airforce.
Can anyone tell me more about what a day in the life of a military nurse is like and what the differences are between the branches? I've already filled out the doohicky asking for more info but I figured I'd ask from the proverbial front lines

Heya,
I'm working on my prereqs, but I realize I still don't have a very full picture of all the different sorts of nursing that are out there. I know some - home care, different rotations in hospitals, hospice care, ER work, lifeflight nurses - But I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for things I could read that would give me a good overview of the different sub-fields of nursing for RNs. I prefer narratives by people who've done the work over things that sound like they were written by someone in a college career services dept.
Thanks!

Im Hoping i can go to collage next fall. Right now im studying everything at home that i can possibly get my hands on for nursing school. i really suck at math and was hoping if anyone could tell me the math classes they have taken and what is required to know so i can start working on my math. I think the math will be the hard part for me. Thanks everyone :)
