   I agree with Megsd. I think if you just keep reading over and over your not learning your just reading. For me to really get something I have to eventually put the notes down and start reciting it from memory.

2. Who's waiting on acceptance letters?

   Huscarl73 replied to lainith's topic in Pre-Nursing

   End of May at the soonest for an August start. I think I'm going to think positive and start my immunizations early.

3. Anybody else going insane

   Huscarl73 replied to Huscarl73's topic in General Students

   I appreciate the links, I've been using the Hole's anatomy website since that's we're using. The practice tests have come in handy for all the chapters so far. I guess I should've posted this on the pre nursing forum. I just wanted to whine to someon...

4. Anybody else going insane

   The lectue and lab test are coming up this week for the endocrine system. Anybody else slowly being driven crazy by this?

5. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

   Huscarl73 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

   I guess I'm used to some other forums where we will go at each other with a hammer while debating various ideas. I guess I should resign myself to the fact that very few people on here want to do this. I think some people use the ER as their first st...

6. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

   Huscarl73 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

   You do have some valid points. For example there was a percentage of money that was spent that my, our, children will benefit from. Highways being one example. But IMO that the vast majority of it was spent to maintain the previous generations standa...

7. Medicine: Have we gone too far? And, is our system ethical as a whole?

   Huscarl73 replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

   A previous poster hit the nail on the head. The bank is empty, all the money that's supposed to be in it is gone. We have an entire generation, and even part of another one that spent that money. The spent it on everything but what it was it was supp...

8. You're Going to Practice on ME?!?!

   Huscarl73 replied to Kensington's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I never had a fear of needles until one day...when I gave blood to the RC and I watched them put the needle in. It looked like I could park my truck up inside of it. I wont say that I'm afraid of them, but I don't get back as often as I used too.

9. Has anybody else officially applied for the program?

   Huscarl73 replied to DesertRain's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yep, my app is complete except for one pre req class I'm currently in. I have until May 15th (after the end of semester) for that grade to be on my transcript. After that is the the wait for the letter. Or maybe I should say "The Letter" since so man...

10. Damage control? Or just more damage?

    Huscarl73 replied to chartlooe's topic in General Nursing

    Let me start out by saying that I've been told and seen the following.. It takes a strong committed marriage to survive both or either party swinging outside of the marriage. I have seen this cause many problems and even destroy a marriage. I also pe...

11. Refusal for Blood Draw

    Huscarl73 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

    The standard is unreasonable search and seizure. We have a court system that decides if a search is reasonable based upon specific evidence. We should not ignore this based upon expediancy. I've never been a fan of this 'nothing to hide' approach to...

12. OT: and not getting paid?

    Huscarl73 replied to nynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    That's how I read it too, if you accept a salaried position, ie you get paid for 40 if your work 30 or 50, in any type of work you are not eligible for overtime. If your paid hourly and only get paid for 20 hours if worked 20 hours then your eligible...

13. OT: and not getting paid?

    Huscarl73 replied to nynurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    Only paperwork I would fill out would be down at the courthouse for all the back time I didn't get paid. If the hospitol has a problem with that they need to take it up with congress.

14. First day of class in 9 Hours!!

    Go to sleep, a shot of whiskey will help

15. Refusal for Blood Draw

    Huscarl73 replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Emergency

    Even if they did show up with a warrent for a blood draw you still wouldn't have any obligation to do it. The burden would be upon the state to supply the where and how not upon you to do it for them.
