2. stopcocks

   Jump_Nurse replied to General E. Speaking, RN's topic in CCU

   I'm assuming you are talking about the stopcocks on a triple manifold? Otherwise the stopcocks on individual lines are pretty simple.. On individual lines the LONG part of the stopcock with OFF engraved on it shuts off flow in whichever direction the...

   Jump_Nurse posted a topic in SRNA

   Hey all- I've been looking at which schools to apply to a lot recently, and I'm trying to narrow it down to three so that I don't break the bank on admission fees, transcripts, etc. My reading has left me interested in KPSA, and I'd like to hear from...

   Jump_Nurse replied to Dottie78's topic in Male Students

   You're an idiot.. Who are you to say whether anyone MALE OR FEMALE is becoming a nurse for the right or wrong reason? What authority are you? One thing I have noticed: Yes, I am surrounded by a lot of women all the time at school. Is that WHY I got ...

8. Where to move after graduation

   Jump_Nurse posted a topic in New Nurse

   I'm trying to brainstorm places I could move after graduation... Any ideas? I'm interested in being in a city (no suburbs). Political & social climate is important to me, I'd like a city leaning a little to the left that is a bit more progressiv...

11. What wakes you up in the morning?

    Jump_Nurse replied to redtshirt's topic in General Students

    Usually a really annoying cell phone alarm wakes me up in the morning. Either that or a really dry mouth and some sweating. Then I go puke, try to get the booze off my breath, and head to the hospital. If I start gettin' the shakes in the car I take ...

13. How do Nursing Instructors deal with this? Clinical site RNs don't want us around

    Jump_Nurse replied to chicagrl's topic in General Students

    Good luck dealing with that... Even when you're done with school. I have noticed that nursing, and maybe just healthcare in general, can be an incredibly unfriendly workplace. Nursing staff in particular seem to think everyone else is an idiot and **...
