    Boooo! That's awful. Sorry, Momma_D. I'm gonna have to work too. We'll make it, though.
  2. lonestar nursing 2014 hopeful

    Quit my wonderful job of two years last month, but I'm trying to find another one with fewer hours. I may not have as much time, but I still need gas money, so I've still gotta work for this semester at least. Once clinicals start, though, all that g...

    jennjenn0205, I just got all my books from Amazon, ordered new. I checked the description for each, and all the ones that needed access codes stated that they were included. I just checked on them, and they do indeed all come with brand-spankin-new a...
  4. Learning from the Past - Resolutions for a Better Year of Nursing in 2014

    Money, money, money.
  5. baby friendly questions

    The baby isn't the only one who needs care. Momma does too. And all that stuff about how babies shouldn't be separated from their mothers during the first few days is overblown. We went over this in psych...mothers used to be told that if they didn't...
  6. Well, pre-nursing program, it was A&P, of course! It was also by far the most enjoyable and engaging, though. I formed a study group on day 1 and committed to studying with them after every class day, and I plan to do that when I start nursing s...
  7. Stereotyping Male Nurses

    That's old gender roles for ya. Women can't be strong/logical, and men can't be caring/non-violent. It's wrong, and every day we must wage war against those ideas. :)
  8. classmate insists on posting her opinion

    But as a nurse, she will not be allowed to just do whatever she thinks is best for patients in terms of injecting them with urine instead of vaccines. She will have to follow the standard of care. Don't worry about it. In fact, don't even think about...
  9. Homeless Patients: Considerations

    Are doctors really in that much of a bubble so that they don't even think about these possibilities? I've heard of them being aloof and all, but I've always thought (read: hoped) that most of that is exaggerated...
  10. Affordable Care Act Users Guide for Nurses

    Politics aside, I really do like that people--especially children--with pre-existing conditions can get coverage now. From a logical and compassionate point of view, it seems like a no-brainer...from a political and economic view, maybe not, but I su...
  11. The Reason I Became a Nurse

    RN-strong! Bless you for all your hard work and dedication.
  12. The Top 10 Things I Loved About Nursing

    ? Good to hear. Gives me hope.
  13. This is excellent information. Hopefully hospitals and schools will take notice of studies like these. Circadian rhythms are not to be trifled with, and disruption has very real and significant effects.

    I've been lurking for months. Finally joined. I'll be in the morning schedule at Cy-Fair. I absolutely agree with Warren--this has been a headache-inducing, dramatic journey, and we're not even at Day 1. My brand new big headache is that I apparentl...
