2. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

   cheezwhiz replied to louis345's topic in General Students

   I dont see what working a microscope has to do with nursing. Was that "doctor" a medical doctor? And if so, does she have nursing experience? I don't see how the micro teacher is in a position to judge??

3. "Concerned" about MH teaching

   cheezwhiz replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

6. Which topics in microbiology are the most useful in nursing?

   cheezwhiz replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

   basics of chain of transmission and aseptic technique are pretty much all you need. detailed understanding of different microorganisms and their relevance to disease may be nice to know but really amounts to icing on a cake.

7. the reason we have to give so many presentations...

8. Difference between subacute rehab and TCU

   cheezwhiz replied to Cthulhu's topic in General Nursing

   don't know the proper answer, or if there is one, but i've done clinicals in a tcu and a subacute hospital (not subacute rehab as far as i know). from what i saw, the stay in subacute tended to be longer, like years usually, and there tended to be mo...

12. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    cheezwhiz replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

13. Clients? Are they no longer patients?

    cheezwhiz replied to bassadict69's topic in General Students

    It's true. The new literature refers to pts as clients. In keeping w this commerce focus, I suggest the new standard abbreviation for client be $$. Example: $$ requests gourmet coffee w/ 10 packs of sugar for all meals.

14. males vs females as new RN's.

    cheezwhiz replied to yahoo1's topic in General Nursing

    i dont see why not. per his user name, i would guess he went to LPN school. aren't those programs @ 1 year long? i.e., graduate HS @ 17 or 18 and get the LPN license 1-1.5 yrs later @ age 18-19.

15. Stop being so miserable

    cheezwhiz replied to mkhoaja's topic in Safety

    OP should stop telling people how to act, especially if it is to be phony. OP's mom needs to stop yelling at people. That's not nice. IMHO.
