  1. Near Death Experiences?

    anbreen replied to pagandeva2000's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Or, it may be that your opinion is not the definitive one. I'm surprised that you seem to think it is. I have no religion. But, my professional experience has taught me not to fear death This, though...

  2. GRX Medical CD-29 scope vs. Littman Classic II SE Scope

    anbreen replied to Anastasiak's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Yep! That's why people often prefer the Cardiio III to the Master Cardio, I've read-- the bell. But if one wants a Master Cardio without the expense,, I read that the Kila single head with a Littmann...

  3. GRX Medical CD-29 scope vs. Littman Classic II SE Scope

    anbreen replied to Anastasiak's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I read on a doc forum that the Litt Cardio II SE and Cardia III are essentially the same. Both have the tunable head. I also read that some medical schools are pulling away from the tunable head,...

  4. Poll: What's with this tunable diaphragm stethoscope trend?

    anbreen replied to angelfire280's topic in General Nursing

    I have an Ultrascope. The acoustics are as good as my Littmanns, maybe better. Since one chooses tubing color, design (out of 100 choices) and whether to engrave (which is COOL-- it appears to...

  5. Littmann alternatives

    anbreen replied to Skynet's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Littmann Cardiology II, and a GRX CD-29. I can't tell the dif. They are exactly alike in structure and acoustics. Except the GRX is half the price, and you can't get Cardilogy IIs anymore...

  6. GRX Medical CD-29 scope vs. Littman Classic II SE Scope

    anbreen replied to Anastasiak's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Littmann Cardiology II. They have been discontinued, but I found one on eBay. The Cardio IIs are thought by many to have been better than the Cardio IIIs, because they have the floating...

  7. Stealing stethescopes

    anbreen replied to ICU_RN_BSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Two ideas and one interesting group: 1) ALL of the members of one medical school class in Britain bought their PINK-tubed Littmans together and had them engraved. None of them has walked off, yet. 2)...

  8. Quit stealing my stethoscopes!

    anbreen replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Check it Out! "Nurses Without Stethoscopes." For nurses who have been thieved by (mostly) residents.

  9. Where to find a good stethoscope?

    anbreen replied to jackey_nurse's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have an Ultrascope, two Littman Master Classic !!s, and a Littman Cadio II (not made anymore). I find that I always grab my Littman Laster Classic II for "workhorse" tasks. The BEST scope that I...

  10. Quit stealing my stethoscopes!

    anbreen replied to NickiLaughs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Interesting ideas from other medical forums: 1) One guy tapes a piece of paper (or, writes on the tube with magic marker) "For isolation use only! (his name)." He says he's never had a scope snaked....

  11. New grad RN Moving to San diego area

    anbreen replied to christina2139's topic in California Nursing

    One of the reasons why there are so few opportunities in San Diego is that so many people want to move here for the climate. Almost two years after the first post, and there are STILL no jobs. Los...

  12. Question about imending death

    anbreen replied to wsp4905's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Mottling, and where? Capillary fill at extremities. Any cyanosis and where? BP, pulse and regularity. Skin color, turgor, warm or cool? Cheyne-Stokes and mentation. Is the patient hallucinating? As...

    anbreen replied to R.NICU's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have never forgotten something a nurse told me, "Your new license is your quarter to buy a clue. " :-) I'm 2nd career, and my other profession did not teach me my job in school, either. I don't...

  17. Just failed Nclex-RN - Hints on Studying

    anbreen replied to nurselatino's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    CORRECTION: I mean, Kaplan for strategy. At least, once we get through it, all we have to do is the 30 units, every couple of years.

  18. Just failed Nclex-RN - Hints on Studying

    anbreen replied to nurselatino's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I think Mosby (for strategies) and Saunders CD (for questions practice) are the BEST two resouces. Sounds like you and I had the same exam. On the many pharmo questions, I often didn't know what it...

    anbreen replied to nurselatino's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I know something that works like MAGIC. But you have to know how to do yoga meditation. Go into a meditative alpha state. Picture yourself walking into the test center, checking in, sitting down at...

    The furst few of us, from my class, stopped @ 85, no new format questions, one simple dosage calc. Some of the rest of us were all over the place, on number of questions. So far, all od us that I...

    anbreen replied to casualjim's topic in California Nursing

    Dunno, yet. :-) Just got the license. Now, want a J-O-B. Because there is a wait list on EVERY program but Marics. Amd, Maric quoted me two years for the LVN-RN bridge program.
