1. Any anyone used Topamax for weight loss?

   txnursingqt replied to ShelleyERgirl's topic in General Nursing

   I know this is an old thread but thought I would bump it up and see if anyone else has any weight loss experience with topamax. I am starting this drug today. My doctor prescribed it because I do have migraines but he mainly prescribed for weight l...

2. Microbiology and Chemistry

   txnursingqt replied to JumpingIn's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I would take them both together with no hesistation. Micro has been sooooo easy. I have taken Chem and it was easy too. In my micro class Chem was not a pre-req and honestly there was not much chem to it at all (don't know if that is just my school...

   txnursingqt replied to Ally0981's topic in General Students

   A lady in my Micro class just graduated in Aug as a LVN. She is working at our local hospital and was hired to float. She said she has loved all the experience but it has been extremely hard and most nights she is sick to her stomach before work. S...

4. Would you turn family into CPS???

   txnursingqt replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

   My MIL called my DH tonight at work and told him that CPS came today but that they didn't find anything and said they are cleared. She also told him that my BIL got a job driving a truck and is leaving on Monday and that his wife is going to move in...

5. Would you turn family into CPS???

   txnursingqt replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

   Yes it is very hard to make these decisions. I come from a family that is fairly normal, yet still dysfunctional in its own ways, but nothing like DH family. He doesn't want to live like them at all but I know he is torn because he loves them all s...

6. Would you turn family into CPS???

   txnursingqt replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

   I have witnessed them smoking marijuana in front of the children. I am ashamed to say that I did not call CPS then. I know that I should have and at that point I didn't want to get involved. I guess the reason that I have had a change of heart is ...

7. Would you turn family into CPS???

   txnursingqt replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

   Thank you all for you support. When my husband got home from work last night he told me that he did not tell his mother what I said. What he told her is that both he and I have concerns and that we were not going to lie for them or hide anything. He...

   txnursingqt replied to txnursingqt's topic in General Nursing

   I have no ill feelings towards my in-laws at all, in fact they are wonderful caring people. The problem is that they do not have the skills needed to care for "Sally". They currently get her on the weekends and are at their wits ends by the time sh...

9. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

   txnursingqt replied to AZMOMO2's topic in General Students

   Sorry but performing CNA stuff in clinical is nothing like actually taking care of 20 patients on your own as a CNA.

10. Would you turn family into CPS???

    txnursingqt posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am wondering if I did the right thing. Here is the backstory. My husband's mother and stepfather are going through a homestudy because they are trying to get custody of their niece (my husband's cousin). Well the lady doing the homestudy called ...

11. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    txnursingqt replied to AZMOMO2's topic in General Students

    Thank you for explaining why it is that you might call a CNA into a room to clean a patient. You are busy!!! I think alot of CNA's might not get that and just think you are lazy when that is not the case at all. I am glad to hear someone finally gi...

12. CNA job making me almost want to give up Nursing

    txnursingqt replied to AZMOMO2's topic in General Students

    I agree with you. A CNA that thinks that way is definitely way off course. There is so much more that a nurse does and the stress of knowing a life is in your hands...oh my! But being a CNA is hard work (we all agree on that here) and I can't wait ...
