2. Duke question?......

   DTCC PreRN replied to adorblepuppy's topic in North Carolina

   Congratulations on getting the job at the nursing home. I was interested in working at Duke or Durham Regional as well but the thought of working for the LTC or Hospice facilities in town sound so much more appealing right now. I'm continuing my edu...

   DTCC PreRN replied to DTCC PreRN's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Thanks caliotter3. The first test is usually the worse but I really don't want to earn a bad grade. I know what I have to do and it looks like there's going to be a couple of really long nights in my future. Good luck with your bio class and please ...

   From where I'm sitting it looks like you're doing a heck of a lot better than they are. Maybe a gentle reminder might help humble them a bit. :nuke:

8. Questions to Ask Neurosurgeon (Chiari I)

   DTCC PreRN replied to DTCC PreRN's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you for the reply. I found out in early June that I have Chiari I. I went to my neurologist for my annual checkup for migraines and confessed my new symptoms. He recommended accupressure. I didn't think that was a valid solution so went to see ...

   Hi everyone, I was formally diagnosed with Chiari I yesterday (8mm herniation, 34 y/o.) and am in the process of being referred to a neurosurgeon. I need a little help deciding what to ask the surgeon when we meet. I'm not 100% convinced that surge...

    DTCC PreRN replied to twinmommy+2's topic in Forensic

    Have you considered contacting your local news station or even a local newspaper and going to them with a story. I'm sure the public would be interested in hearing about a hospital who doesn't hold it's communities best interest at heart. I would go...

15. Can I put my hands in your hair?

    DTCC PreRN replied to catlynLPN's topic in General Nursing

    I grew my hair out so I could donate it. Last year in CHM class the guy behind me kept pulling mine out! What the heck? I finally asked him what he was doing with all my hair. He just said he liked it. It was long and shiney. I also must add that he ...
