  1. Awful PCA situation

    basically I'm moving on saturday whatever happens, (when I moved here my job description was to assist Sarah with her hobby/sidejob and take out the garbage...it seems to have suddenly evolved from carrying groceries into drastically more...), but I ...
  2. Awful PCA situation

    thanks everyone. I've talked to Lee about the situation. tonight, Sarah made a joke about killing the cat that Lee has been saying for a while now is his only reason to live. She kind of alarmed both of us by her tone (which I think was largely in...
  3. Awful PCA situation

    how do I get them involved? what would happen? Lee needs help but I don't want somebody to institutionalize him unless he seriously has no other options. He's been happier since school started than he ever has been in his life, and a lot of that c...
  4. Awful PCA situation

    hey there, I have a situation: first off, I'm 21, I've had one nursing class. I'm not certified in anything but CPR, I know basic sterile technique and could probably get a job as a CNA in some states, but not the one I'm in currently. I have no pr...
  5. Side Effects of Meds

    ever since I got Epocrates on my ipod, my friend has been asking me to check the side effects of all the medications she gets put on. my friend is on Trimethoprim/Sulfamethoxazole for a staph infection, and has been feeling generally bad for the las...
  6. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    I understood the post to be rather sarcastic, my apologies if my interpretation of the word choice was mistaken. I understand not everyone is an extreme skeptic, but I've never heard anyone phrase things the way woodenpug did without trying to be pat...
  7. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    I didn't say anything about expecting anyone to accept anecdotal evidence, I just stated my opinion and experience. as soon as a room full of extreme skeptics with a vested interest in a viewpoint they consider diametrically opposed to this one manag...
  8. EEG Tech and Nursing

    what's it like? neurology was my favorite part of A&P, I actually find the individual cells amazing on top of finding the brain fascinating for completely different reasons. are ICUs a lot higher stress? my dad has atrial fibrillation and slee...
  9. EEG Tech and Nursing

    is there a particular nursing specialty that would be complimented by experience as an EEG tech? I just applied for an open EEG tech position at a local hospital, and I'm in nursing school, so I'm wondering if there's any crossover between the field...
  10. Disturbed Energy Field? Yes or No?

    I'm definitely convinced this stuff is real, not because of whatever they decided to call it, but because after meditation and practice, I can feel it pretty easily and almost all the time, and see it every now and then. I have friends who have lear...
  11. LPN and RN

    I'm in Arkansas right now, going crazy living with my parents. (...I have very seriously considered going to therapy to help survive living with my homophobic fundamentalist parents as a gay pagan.) I really want to move to the pacific northwest, p...
  12. Am I too shallow to be a nurse?

    thoughts: I don't think any of us enjoy changing diapers or seek out bodily fluids when we're not getting paid for it. the only thing I personally have a problem with in your above list of reasons is "beautiful female nurses." I'd never want to wo...
  13. LPN and RN

    hey there - I've been gathering lots of information about what RNs do, but I was just wondering if anyone could tell me a bit more about the LPN role. I've always heard that as a new RN you should start out on a Med-Surg unit and stay there for at le...
  14. Did you have any other options?

    I was going to go into social work before I changed majors to nursing. decided I'd rather have a degree that let me help people without working for the government or even staying the US.
  15. Washington State starting pay for LPN/LVN's in the seattle area

    thanks for asking this question, I'm considering an LPN program and want to move to Seattle, too! reading these answers really helped =) good luck!
