   mabebu replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We actually had a fun lab last night where we used stethoscopes to record heart rate and got to take each other's blood pressures--very fun--we also recorded change in blood pressure after exercise and while the victim was holding his/her hand in 5 d...

2. Starvation: A good thing when concerning the Obese.

   mabebu replied to xt1's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not going to weigh in on whether fasting is or is not a good way to lose weight... But I'm curious, do you think you would be able to fast for that length of time? I had to fast for two days for a bowel prep and I thought my stomach was going to ...

3. A&P II Club! Come on in!

   mabebu replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I had my heart lab last night---we had pictures of a sheep heart in our books but were given pig hearts to dissect...and our lab instructor talks about his mother in a thick accent and doesn't focus too much on helping us... This semester I have a lo...

4. What would you do?

   mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

   Not really. I did call my insurance company and they too wouldn't give me his license number but assured me that if he is in their network that he is a licensed MD. I did get the form to file a complaint with the state and will be mailing it in soon....

5. Volunteers?

   mabebu replied to LaNICUnurse's topic in NICU

   I am a volunteer at a NICU and have worked there a little over a month. My hospital isn't extremely organized (serious problems w/ the volunteer coordinator) but I agressively pursued the position. Just the standard volunteer background check was don...

6. What would you do?

   mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

   Ironically, when I went into the examining room, a prescription pad was sitting on the counter and I was left alone in there for 10-15 minutes--I thought about warning the doctor about this but forgot to when he came in and we started talking about m...

7. What would you do?

   mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

   I did not identify myself when I called. Unfortunately, the state only investigates written complaints but I can also do that anonymously.

8. What would you do?

   mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

   I just called his office and asked for his license number. The woman who answered told me that they are not allowed to give out that information... She didn't seem that concerned when I told her that I wasn't able to find him on the state website...a...

9. A&P II Club! Come on in!

   mabebu replied to lisabeth's topic in Pre-Nursing

   We had the LAMEST blood lab last night. Though the lab manual had us drawing our own blood and viewing it via oil immersion, using the machine to determine hemocrit, ect. all we did was look at a pre-prepared slide of a blood smear and we drew pictu...

10. What would you do?

    mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

    I have to submit the complaint in writing and they are mailing me the forms---I was just hesitant to do so thinking it was probably some sort of administrative oversight. But then again, this should be one item that gets taken care of without except...

11. What would you do?

    mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for replying--nothing seemed off with him--I liked him and would go back though I don't have any reason to at this point. It's just a habit of mine to look up health practitioners to see where they went to school, how many years of experience,...

12. What would you do?

    mabebu posted a topic in General Nursing

    I saw a doctor today. I just looked him up on my state's licensing portal and he was not listed...to make sure, I called the state and found out he definitely does not have a license to practice in my state. My question is: what should I do? Should ...

13. Accelerated BSN vs. Part Time BSN

    mabebu replied to mabebu's topic in General Students

    Thanks for your replies (and for the happy outcome story). I've pretty much decided to quit my job at the end of December to do a full time semester of pre reqs and to begin the accelerated program in May. He knows what I've decided but is not really...

    Hi, I'm in too! I'm taking A&P II online (as I did A&P I). Started lab last week. We're starting w/ the endocrine system...it's a tricky chapter!

15. Accelerated BSN vs. Part Time BSN

    mabebu posted a topic in General Students

    Hi All, Deciding to change careers midway through life has caused some strife in my marriage... I'm currently taking prereqs and plan to start a 12 month accelerated program next May. However, my husband would prefer that I go part time in the regula...
