    alternate ways of treating borderline personality disorder

    Multicollinearity replied to hsieh's topic in Psychiatric

    This is the most (((unusual))) thread I have ever read on this forum. My mother is a borderline. Dropping her off in Africa for six months would not help her. She would just struggle for survival and...

    Multicollinearity replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My text discusses PTH and calcium homeostasis. It does not discuss PTH and vit. D. According to my text, PTH is released from the parathyroid glands in response to low levels of calcium ions in the...

    Theresa, Turns out it was the "Iliacus" but smudged on my handout. Sorry to hear about your A&P woes. I'm feeling down-trodden myself. I keep reminding myself that this will all be over when...

    Does anyone know where the Hiacus muscle is? It is on a handout I have of muscles to know for an exam. I have to know the origin, insertion, and action (plus of course identify) this muscle, plus 82...

    Multicollinearity replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just finished the muscle physiology portion of the course. All I can say is I recommend you set aside extra time for muscle physiology. Unless of course my program had it grouped such that it was...

    Is nursing really this cutthroat?

    Multicollinearity replied to dougRN2BE's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think nursing is more collaborative than any other profession. I would go back to considering why you are leaving your PhD

    How FAST/what route to RN if u already have other degrees?

    Multicollinearity replied to FutureTraveler?'s topic in General Nursing

    The *nursing* courses alone are 2 years in an ADN program. Unless you can find an accelerated ADN program without breaks during the four semesters. These accelerated ADN's are usually 16 months. So...

    How FAST/what route to RN if u already have other degrees?

    Multicollinearity replied to FutureTraveler?'s topic in General Nursing

    The fastest ADN programs that I know of are the accelerated programs which last 16 months. Some community colleges offer them. These are the core nursing courses; none of these courses consist of any...

    Police Killed Our Patient

    Multicollinearity replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    As I think about it, I distinguish between police being called to a public place because a mentally ill person is acting strangly v. overt violent behavior. It just seems that there are so many...

    Police Killed Our Patient

    Multicollinearity replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think anyone here is blaming individual cops. Isn't it clear that they could benefit from better training regarding dealing with the mentally ill? I'm thinking of an example in my city where...

    Police Killed Our Patient

    Multicollinearity replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I don't blame the cops. I DO blame their lack of training in dealing with the mentally ill. That can and should be changed. We have had several paranoid schitzophrenics killed in my city because the...

    Glossary of Nursing/Medical Degrees-Certifications & Allied Heath Certifications

    Multicollinearity replied to sirI's topic in General Nursing

    Psy.D is missing from the list. This is a doctor of psychology, a clinical psychologist. In the US, psychologists are more often than not, ph.d's. However, there is a clinical psychologist degree of...

    What was your HARDEST class?

    Multicollinearity replied to LADYFLOWER's topic in General Nursing

    Another consideration is what your strengths and weaknesses are. For example, some are good at memorization. Those folks should do well in A&P. Nursing courses consist of more critical...

    Honors college??

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

    Thank you for posting this! I've been wondering about the same thing. I scored so high on my assessment tests that I was invited to do the honors program at my community college. Then after my first...

    Multicollinearity replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you think that the professor is trying to weed students out, or could it be that he is simply enforcing the curriculum? A&P is demanding and a lot of work. Just food for thought. I think many...

    Recommended Req'd reading before NS?

    Multicollinearity replied to moonischasingme1's topic in General Nursing

    I read House of God a few years ago. It was quite immature. Basically I think it's an 'old school' dumbed down novel for yester-years' medical students. I think what you need to know, you will have...

    YES! But I love it. I have to memorize the muscles of the axial and appendicular skeleton. In two days. I'm so glad I decided to do the internet class. Why bother with lecture - just get straight to...

    Well, I took that exam today. I ended up with 100%. Earlier I felt like I could scream. So much studying and I felt like I couldn't get it to stick. Anyway, let this be a lesson to push ahead when it...

    Riosalado.edu This is Maricopa County's online public community college. I've heard good things about their online A&P. Maricopa County encompasses Phoenix, AZ. It's entirely online. Out of state...

    4 choices & only need 2 (which ones?)

    Multicollinearity replied to Angel 3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm surprised nobody has chimed in and recommended the World Religions class. I'd take that one, without a doubt. Religion/spirituality does intersect with nursing quite a bit and I think it is quite...

    Diabetes, an epidemic?

    Multicollinearity replied to indigo girl's topic in Diabetes, Endocrine Nursing

    I really think there is a link in *some* diabetes cases to stess. I think cortisol being out of wack can mess up the HPA axis and then cascade into diabetes in some. Note, I said *some*. It's only...

    "YOU'RE my Nurse?!?!?"

    I know what you mean. I recently had to go to an ER for stitches. My nurse looked about 21. She un-nerved me. I realized after a minute why she made me uncomfortable; it wasn't her age, it was her...
