1. Funding for EC

   momofqc replied to momofqc's topic in Online Learning

   well, I know I can't get a credit card and even if I could the interest rates would kill me. I'm back at the drawing board. Does anyone know of any grants that are out there other than the Pell?

6. Please define "bedside" Nursing.

   momofqc replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

   well I have been through a nasty divorce with 2 small babies while starting nursing school so maybe being a nurse won't seem so horrible comparatively.

   momofqc replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

   so would you say that divorce, major health scares or dealing with a family member going off to war is harder or easier than bedside nursing today?

14. What's the reason for a RN to be snippy to a new post op pt. ?

    momofqc replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't say anything to the nurse. I sat and took a back seat. This was all witnessed without me intervening. And yes, several said they would rather the family just leave and not be there so they could take care of their pt., except on a med-sur...

    momofqc replied to momofqc's topic in General Nursing

    i asked for opinions and it turned into a bloodbath. like stated before, it's understandable to be defensive and justify other nurses...only natural. i've not attacked or belittled anyone and haven't said anything that other nurses haven't posted or...
