   Myrrh924 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

   Well, I seriously think that my initial response as a younger person to women I fell intimidated by has been a bit catty. but as I've grown a bit older and wiser, I've realized that if I respond to other women (even fabulously gorgeous and dazzlingly...

2. What would you answer for this test question?

   Myrrh924 replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

   Here is how I see the rationale going: the question asked for the number one reason that babies' temperatures drop. The temp drop is caused by heat loss, and the vulnerability of babies to heat loss is caused by immature thermoregulation. To answer t...

3. Are they trying to get rid of me? Will I make it as nurse?

   Myrrh924 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

   I've worked in several healthcare and medical settings, and I haven't seen a huge amount of outright bullying. I have seen a lot of nurses who are very supportive of each other, and most who are too focused on their jobs to worry about how attractive...

4. Losing my superpowers

   Myrrh924 replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Yes, it's a beautiful day here, too, but I have an APII test tomorrow, so I am sitting here studying instead of relaxing...I do know how important family and relaxation is, but for me, getting into and then finishing nursing school will mean a large ...

5. Are they trying to get rid of me? Will I make it as nurse?

   Myrrh924 replied to bluemorningglory's topic in General Nursing

   While I think it's okay to have good self-esteem, I also think it can come off as a bit conceited when someone says "I'm quite attractive." It's a little like hearing someone say, "don't hate me because I'm beautiful!" I don't think it's the beauty t...

6. New health care bill..

   Myrrh924 replied to Keptonkurtis's topic in Activism

   The bill closes the donut hole for Medicare recipients by the year 2020. The first year's step is fairly piddly (a $250 refund), but it gets better from there. That will help a lot of cancer patients (others, too, of course) get access to lifesaving ...

7. Losing my superpowers

   Myrrh924 replied to rholman's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Hm, a fun trip and some adult beverages sound nice. Not that I'm a big drinker, but something fruity might be fun! I'm applying for the accelerated ADN program at my school that starts in the summer, so I will only have 2 weeks or so between the end ...

   I second the desire to buy a stethoscope and uniforms...and I love the idea of a celebratory dinner!

11. Time Management for Prerequisites

    Myrrh924 replied to Myrrh924's topic in Pre-Nursing

    I do have a planner. Mine has a monthly section (with big squares to write in), and weekly sections that also have HUGE space to write. I work on breaking my assignments down over each day in the weekly section, and I put major dates and deadlines fo...

12. Interview questions.. please help!

    Myrrh924 replied to Lisy108's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Having been through stressful interviews before (not for nursing school), I would suggest just being yourself, staying relaxed, and making sure that your passion for nursing shows through. I am sure the interviewer wants to know that you have what it...

    Thanks for the information! I will make sure that I use the book as a guide for a more in-depth review of the concepts. Thanks for sharing; I hope you get into or got into your program.

14. Time Management for Prerequisites

    Myrrh924 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    How do all of you budget your time? I am taking 17 hours of prereqs (APII-4, Micro-4, Eng Comp II-3, Growth and Dev-3, and Intro to Computer Info-3), and sometimes I am great at managing my time, but I feel overwhelmed at other times. I may be feelin...

15. The ATI Study Guide: Science Section

    Myrrh924 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing

    I have read so many times that the ATI study guide doesn't have the geology information that's covered on the test, but page 156 of my version 3.0 guide has a really basic review of the hydrologic cycle, plate tectonics, the types of rock (including ...
