    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps you thought we were saying if you see a Muslim couple and the woman has orthodox dress (forgot what it's called!) we automatically ask the husband for permission. I cannot fathom any nurse...

    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    I did not say this in my first post, or any post after it. I have not edited any of the posts either. In fact, I mentioned something about never assuming that all Muslim couples are this way. I...

    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    It is your interpretation of Islam that their is no law that states a woman must sek any man's permission for medical treatment. It appears that a subset of some Muslims have a different...

    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    It is not my job to argue theology or scripture of any kind. If a Muslim husband and wife present to the ER and the wife will not talk much and the husband indicates he makes decisions then we have...

    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking that verbal and non-verbal cues would lead a nurse to wonder if she should ask a husband for permission to treat his wife. For example, years ago when I worked in an ER, it was relatively...

    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    I am sitting here telling myself to display a genuinely compassionate and respectful demeanor because I feel badly for a woman living in this world-view. I don't want her to pick up on any perception...

    Any cultural differences encountered while nursing?

    Multicollinearity replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    I have to confess, I would have a hard time composing a professional, non-judgemental facial expression while obaining permission from a husband to treat his able-minded and conscious wife. Ugh....

    Online A&P I

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

    This is so interesting. None of our online courses allow open book exams. If you don't live near a campus testing center then you are required to arrange proctored exams near where you live. What...

    Online A&P I

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

    What about memorizing the names and locations of all the muscles and nerves? Someone could just quickly look it

    how long did it take you to complete your pre-reqs?

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

    I'd take the pre-reqs at a community college with accelerated sessions if this is available in your area. For example, if you could find a school with 5 week accelerated classes, then you could knock...

    Online A&P I

    Open book?! My online A&P requires exams in person at the campus testing center. No books allowed.

    Online A&P I

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

    I'm taking A&P online this summer. At my college (and at many I suspect) the online classes cover the curriculum more in-depth. Two of my instructors confirmed this when I asked them. There's no...

    Multicollinearity replied to barbaraeen's topic in Nurse Entrepreneurs, Innovators

    I think your question is too broad. Many aspects to research regarding your question. You need to figure out if there is a market in your area for what you wish to do. You need a researched and...

    Help! What should you buy a nurse for graduation? Reccomdations needed...thanks.

    Multicollinearity replied to matt22's topic in General Nursing

    How about something that will remind her that her most important obligation is to take care of herself. I really mean that. Nurses seem to take care of everyone else and run themselves into the...

    Questionable Allergies?

    Multicollinearity replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I just looked up Phenergan in Medscape again. I didn't notice Extrapyramidal reactions listed as a side effect when I looked before. That is what happened to me. Is this why I've heard Phenergan...

    Questionable Allergies?

    Multicollinearity replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a bit sleep deprived and see that now in your original post. I don't understand why it's hard for some to understand that you are only allergic to one type. It's not like if someone is allergic...

    Questionable Allergies?

    Multicollinearity replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Marie, do you mean that you are allergic to ALL adhesives or just one type? I get the blisters but without oozing with my hormone patch. My doc says it is an irritation from the adhesive, but not an...

    Student Health Insurance

    Multicollinearity replied to cmc320's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on the state you are in. Insurance is regulated by the states and they vary drastically. In a few states anyone can get coverage on their own, regardless of health status. Most states allow...

    Questionable Allergies?

    Multicollinearity replied to MS._Jen_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I answer yes to allergies with Phenergan, but then quickly explain that it's not an actual allergy but rather a very bad reaction. When I was given Phenergan in an ER once for nausea due to pneumonia...

    Student Health Insurance

    Multicollinearity replied to cmc320's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I used to be a health insurance broker for many years. Each state is quite different regarding health insurance. In most states you can't get coverage for pre-existing conditions, unless you qualify...

    claiming to be what she isn't

    Multicollinearity replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, it's not in the same league as saying you are a nurse and you aren't. It just hit me funny, and I wouldn't say that

    claiming to be what she isn't

    Multicollinearity replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I think many people are genuinely unaware that nursing is a professional discipline separate from unlicensed 'helpers'. I think it also shows a lack of respect, which I'd attribute to nursing being a...
