1. Wait-listed again, could use a smiley-face.

   kukitty replied to kukitty's topic in General Nursing

   You guys are the best! I do feel much better now! I went home, talked it over with my folks, and it turns out that this did work out for the best. My mom told me that since I had this extra year, I should just starting taking my gen. eds. I was plann...

2. Wait-listed again, could use a smiley-face.

   kukitty posted a topic in General Nursing

   I just found out that I'm back on the wait list. They take people in order of application (if they pass the test), and they are on the 2003 applicants. I'm an '04 applicant. Looks "more promising" in 2006. I have a job right now, but it doesn't pay e...

3. Strattera (atomoxetine) warning about potential for severe liver injury

   kukitty replied to Brian's topic in Medications

   Thanks for the info. I currently am on Strattera and Concerta for adult ADHD. I'm going to talk to my doctor at my next visit! It's been pretty scary with all the new drug warnings coming out from the FDA.

4. Low rider pants on nurses

   kukitty replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

   Perhaps this is a better picture of what the original poster was talking about?http://www.dickiesmedical.com/images/cata_data/13102.gif Yes, that IS her stomach. Ugh.

   LOL!!! :rotfl:

6. Low rider pants on nurses

   kukitty replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

   I've read more of the posts, and I'd like to clarify. Someone said that they thought that low-rise (no skin showing) were better than some wrinkly pair of scrub pants (high-rise) pulled of the floor (or the laundry basket) I think this is more to t...

7. Low rider pants on nurses

   kukitty replied to Celiabs's topic in General Nursing

   Haven't read all the posts yet, but in response to this being a "generation gap" problem: I'm 26, follow fashion trends very closely (Yes, I own low-riders), and I'm for going back to whites, or at least uniforms. They look more professional, and ma...

8. Introductions:"New" and "Old" Students.

   kukitty replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

   My name is Molly. I'm 26, mother of two kitties, Gracie and Bubba! I have a bachelor's in Human Development, Gerontology from KU, a nursing home administrator's license and I'm hoping to start ADN school in Aug. 2005. (as you can see by my name, I'm ...

9. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

   kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

   Thanks! You've said it better than me. It's the middle class. Too rich to qualify for income-based program, too poor to afford a lot of the healthcare we may need. It extends to lots of other areas too. Like paying for college!

10. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I'll bite. Perhaps, I just need to change stores. My local market is extremely expensive for fruits and veggies, but perhaps because we're very rural (oddly, since the produce grows right outside the town limits!) I'm taking everyone's advic...

11. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Yep. It absolutely makes you feel lousy. What's wrong with the world when nutritious food or at least naturally occuring food costs so much more than processed junk? I can already tell that by making a food sacrifice I'm a lot more tired. I think tha...

12. Do nurses really eat their young?

    kukitty replied to Jayla's topic in General Nursing

    I agree Minne! I'm not a nurse yet, but my mom is. I asked her about this phenomenon, and she furrowed her brow and said, well, there are nasty nurses out there. When she was new, she had a wonderful nurse that she worked nights with in a small ho...

13. Community Health Nurse

    kukitty replied to kukitty's topic in Career Support

    I've done a little checking and am really getting excited about working with IHS!

14. Poor America doles our substandard social policy

    kukitty replied to Larry's topic in General Nursing

    Right. Big car, big TV. How about those of us struggling to make it? With a car with 240,000 miles on it that I only drive to work because I can't afford to live in the city, so must commute from the small town in which I reside. I can barely affo...

    "but in America, those who seek healthcare receive it, the poor tend to be non-compliant but not because of the lack of effort on the part of our social workers, just whatever it is going on with the patient, perhaps ignorance."-quoted from user Tomm...
