1. 3 dui's in mi

   futuremombabynurse replied to lifeistweet's topic in Criminal

   If someone pointed a loaded gun at another person and shot three times, regardless of whether he missed or not, he would go to jail. The same should apply to DUI's. Your husband got lucky and never killed anyone. As someone who has lost people to d...

   futuremombabynurse replied to lifeistweet's topic in Criminal

   Woowwwwww...ignorance. Add me to the list of people who don't do idiotic stuff like that. I'm the permanent DD in my group of friends, the one who orders water while everyone else drinks beer. When I do drink, my husband does not and he drives. And...

   futuremombabynurse replied to Darjeeling22's topic in General Nursing

   I get the same thing a lot, but my classmates are a little more understanding of my position now that we're two quarters in. I'm married, but have no children. Out of my class of 35 last semester and 20 this semester, only five of us don't have chi...

4. How about your favorite Old Wives Tales related to health?

   futuremombabynurse replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in Humor

   I never had antibiotics for an earache until well into my adulthood, thanks to the old country doctor my grandmother took me to. (One of the reasons why at 23 I can still take Amoxacillin.) His earache cure: equal parts white vinegar and hydrogen ...

   futuremombabynurse replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Humor

   This happened the day of my first clinical...my very first patient, so needless to say, I was NERVOUS. When I get nervous, I tend to forget important things... My patient was a gentleman who'd been in a MVA and was a paraplegic. I remembered from t...

    futuremombabynurse replied to adorblepuppy's topic in CNA/MA

    I just applied as a hospital volunteer myself... From what I gathered from fellow students, my volunteer interviews, and instructors, volunteering is a great way to "get your foot in the door". A few classmates who work or volunteer at hospitals in ...

    Hello, I am currently in school for LVN (step 1 of...a million before CNMW), and our instructor told us we can sit for the CNA exam (I'm in Texas) after we finish this semester. Now, I'm an RMA, and I have a job working in a clinic, but it's a new c...

    Coming from South Texas, I'm in the minority of people who don't speak Spanish with some level of fluency, and I can offer a suggestion... While yes, the hospital should definately look into getting interpretors, there are two things that can be inva...

14. Anyone Else in a Diploma LPN program?

    futuremombabynurse replied to fadedstars34's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    I'm in a diploma LVN program right now, and aside from the office staff constantly losing paperwork and almost the entire teaching staff being hardcore ex-military, it's really good. I'm an evening student because I work full-time during the day, an...
