    Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    Multicollinearity replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Firstyear- I think you are over-thinking matters. I also think you don't know what you don't know

    Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    Multicollinearity replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Thing is, you are projecting your own wishes of how you would like to be treated onto all patients in general. Many would be un-nerved by the very ambiguity that you like to explore. Your job will be...

    Is it just me, or are nurses pushy?

    Multicollinearity replied to firstyearstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I can tell you that I have some *personal* issues of needing control for myself. When I am a patient in the hospital - I want to know what is being done before it is done. That is satisfied by a...

    Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    Some of the socioeconomic questions are permitted under affirmative action admission policies which allow consideration for those from 'disadvantaged backgrounds.' 'Disadvantaged background' is a...

    Has anyone had issues with accusations of diverting drugs?

    Multicollinearity replied to ImShelly31's topic in General Nursing

    Looks like there are tests to distinguish which kind of narcotic: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=10701990&dopt=Abstract Although this is...

    Has anyone had issues with accusations of diverting drugs?

    Multicollinearity replied to ImShelly31's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure that they can do a second type of urine test - chromatography - to distinguish between the metabolites for the narcotic in cough syrup v. the narcotic missing at work. I know about...

    I don't think you've been 'flamed'. I think many have disagreed with you, some strongly. There have not been any personal attacks. There is a

    Multicollinearity replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    To those criticizing the OP: Funny how there is so much focus on the OP's choice of meds on ONE unusual and difficult evening. I find little talk about a work environment that is so exploitative and...

    Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    Multicollinearity replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just did a google search of legal sites. The consensus opinion is that it is fine to ask if an applicant has reliable transportation because this is necessary to ensure the person can actually show...

    Loans to cover more than just the cost of classes

    Multicollinearity replied to squirtle's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hmm. I don't see how it can be illegal for schools to talk about or ask these things in interviews or include them on applications. I hardly think it could be illegal for a nursing professor to ask in...

    How about how scientists created teflon? It is a combo of two noble gases that definately do not like each other. Carbon-dating...how it is done, and its contribution to our knowledge today. Water...

    Just a quick opinion question....

    Multicollinearity replied to charebec65's topic in General Nursing

    I suppose it's possible. I think it's unlikely though. That would be going against the grain of their training/purpose/everything they know, and clinical psychology practice guidelines. I think that...

    Here's an article on psychologists with prescriptive authority: http://www.apa.org/monitor/julaug06/pioneers.html This link describes the required education to have prescriptive authority. It's not...

    Just a quick opinion question....

    Multicollinearity replied to charebec65's topic in General Nursing

    New Mexico allows prescriptive authority for psychologists IF they take several psychopharmacology classes (and a few other classes). I think it's great, if there is a collaberative relationship with...

    Multicollinearity replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would love to think that happened. That would be the smart way of dealing with the situation. I was last to leave (as usual) and she didn't speak with him. She can't leave the lab room even for a...

    I had chem lab again today. The instructor asked everyone "how do you like this lab?" The foul mouthed student from last week answered "it's looking like sh**." I turned around so surprised. The...

    Hi there Marie. I didn't say "the young people" referring to them all. I referred to "these young people" meaning these young people who are using such language at my school. I talk with young people...

    Multicollinearity replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a timely thread. I lost my temper (sort of) in my chem lab class last week. I am feeling like an indignant 'new' elder. It seems so recent that I was the younger generation, and now I'm feeling...

    Sedona, AZ, anyone?

    Multicollinearity replied to gabgab's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Sedona is a beautiful place! I used to go there a few times per year for weekend getaways. It is definately a tourist town. Have you gone to google.com and searched under images for Sedona? You...

    Pretty soon the pain and discomfort will start waning. Then you will just be stuck at home but not in acute agony. Maybe this can be a silver lining in your cloud - your unexpected time off. I know...
