  2. Researching and STUCK!

  3. Researching and STUCK!

    Hey, good try and thanks BUT, sadly, I'd found that one already and the rule for all stuff we use at my school, be it an article or a textbook, is that it be no more than 5 years old. I really appreciate the effort though! :)

    Complete Blood Cell count S'okay, we all have to learn.
  5. Researching and STUCK!

  6. Researching and STUCK!

    Heya Folks, I'm trying to find a recent article in a nursing journal (MUST be a nursing journal) about the basics of CBC's. All it needs to explain is the components of a CBC and why they are important. Seems a very simple task to find such an artic...

  10. dr kivorcian or not

    Actually, I wrote a paper over the summer on this very subject for my Philosophy course. According to the AMA, yes, this is ethical. It is ethical to give sufficient pain meds to alleviate pain, even if doing so will hasten the patient's death, but...

  12. Heya Folks, I have a silly question regarding a personal medical issue. I'm debating if this is something I should go see a physician for or not. The reason I'm so hesitant is that my med insurance is lousy, they cover very little plus I pay a $30 ...
  13. What's Your Mantra?

    I have so many! Aside from the ones at the bottom of this message I have a few others - "Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear." - Mark Twain "One ought never to turn one's back on a threatened danger and try to run aw...
  14. Can nights ruin happiness??

    That's why most people I know that work overnights live differently than dayshifters as far as scheduling (aside from the obvious). When you're a day-shifter you typically wake with just enough time to do your "morning routine" (breakfast, a jog, wha...
  15. Howdy!!!!!!!

    Whoa there a sec... how do you figure TX nurses are some of the lowest paid? Sorry, I don't mean to jump down your throat. I have seriously considered leaving TX after grad (I'm an ADN student) for a change in weather. I've done a LOT of research o...
