   My husband is an active duty Marine and we just found out yesterday that he is leaving on Sunday. I hope you time away from your family is short. Stay safe. We are proud of you and you should be proud of yourself. Sam

2. Stethoscope Length?

   tugbird replied to Wolfbeareagle's topic in General Nursing

   One of my nursing instructors told us that it is supposed to go down to your belly button. Mine (I have a littman also) is way longer than that but I am a bit vertically challenged so maybe that's why. I think when I am done with school and get a n...

3. Texas Christian University

   tugbird replied to fence's topic in CRNA

   I attended TCU while my husband was stationed in Texas. I was in the regular nursing program though not the nurse anesthetist program so I'm sure I am no help at all. The school is great though and I think you are going to like it there. I wish I ...

   tugbird replied to obeyacts2's topic in General Nursing

   My husband has it. He is a Marine and does a lot of running. He has custom made orthotics and he buys new running shoes often. The Navy doc told him the best shoes for the condition were asics and to stay away from Nike. Sam

5. those hallmark commercials....

   tugbird replied to ladyjane's topic in General Students

   Those sprint commercials are funny! My favorite is the one where the wife calls her husband and asks him to bring home a movie, something old. He brings home a monkey with a cold. It shows the monkey laying on the couch covered up with a hot wate...

7. those hallmark commercials....

   tugbird replied to ladyjane's topic in General Students

   I love that commercial. It really hits home (my husband is a Marine). Another one that gets me is the one with the girl working in the animal shelter and she is taking pictures of the dogs that still needs homes.

8. Making an offer...

   tugbird replied to JennyRN2B's topic in General Students

   I just went throught that also and have no desire to do it again for a long time. (we bought a house in south carolina while living in Texas. What a pain....) Good luck to you. I hope everything goes smoothly. Sam

9. Can anyone answer this question for me.

   tugbird replied to kimmicoobug's topic in Ob/Gyn

   I had pre-cancerous cells on my cervix when I was 17. I had the LEEP procedure done. It wasn't that bad and supposedly I shouldn't have any problems when I want to have kids. The worse part was having to have all those extra pap smears every year ...

    tugbird replied to Scott_T's topic in General Students

    I don't know much about UTA but since you are in Fort Worth you are close to Texas Christian University. That is a great school and they have a great nursing program. That's the school I attended while my husband was stationed in Texas. Sadly he g...
