    claiming to be what she isn't

    Multicollinearity replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    OK, here's a borderline issue that actually doesn't make me angry. I have a 70-ish relative who says she was a nurse. She worked in a nursing home for about 30 years. She never took one nursing class,...

    claiming to be what she isn't

    Multicollinearity replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I think a small part of the problem is the general perception with the public that nurses are simply anyone who 'helps in the medical field.' I am not even excusing lying here, just pondering how this...

    freaking out! now what???

    Multicollinearity replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh indeed, the horror stories of business people. I know people with MBAs who have ulcers from stress, chronic headaches, etc. One friend has to take sleeping pills in order to sleep every night due...

    freaking out! now what???

    Multicollinearity replied to 3rdgenRN2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep in mind that people are much more likely to post their horror stories and problems than things going well or ok. Also, it doesn't matter what your husband wishes for you to study - what matters...

    ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    Multicollinearity replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I should have mentioned that I'm taking the course via Internet. No instructor besides an email link and no lectures. Does that change what you all think? p.s. you all have done so well with A&P,...

    Multicollinearity replied to Pkkostura's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Do the Maricopa nursing programs require student to pass the HESI before taking the NCLEX? I know some programs do everything they can to weed out the 'weaklings' in order to inflate their pass rate...

    Patients reading their own charts-yay or nay?

    Multicollinearity replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I believe it is the patient's fundamental right to read his/her chart or a designated rep. That said, I do not believe they are entitled to medical interpretation at their leisure while they read the...

    ~~~A&P 1 (winter/spring) Club~~~

    Multicollinearity replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting A&P I in two weeks. We are using Martini's 7th edition. I purchased the flashcards, and a coloring book. Now I'm wondering if the study guide ($44) would be helpful. I just don't...

    Question: Previous degrees

    Multicollinearity replied to amanda sue's topic in General Nursing

    I have a friend in an accelerated BSN program. She had to take the nursing pre-reqs before starting. Her program is 14 months. Basically she tells me that it's like 70 hours a week of class, clinicals...

    Patients reading their own charts-yay or nay?

    Multicollinearity replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    I think someone from medical records (or a clerk) should supervise the reading of the chart. The nurse should not be taken away from his/her

    HELP...Which Anatomy Flashcards Do I Buy???

    Multicollinearity replied to Poohsdw's topic in General Nursing

    I am using Netter's. They are great. I chose Netter's after spending (far too much!) time here searching forums and seeing which flashcards people report worked

    Calling in Sick

    Multicollinearity replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    About ten years ago I worked at a Catholic hospital. If you said you had to go home because of being sick, you had to page one of the sisters. You then had to go to employee health and be examined by...

    New horrible disease coming down the pipes!!

    Multicollinearity replied to LPN1974's topic in General Nursing

    The foundation website just isn't credible looking. I googled this so-called disease and let's just say I'm not impressed that it is a disease. So many non-specific symptoms. Chronic fatigue. Mental...

    ADN program Financial Aid question

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

    I am glad that this works for you. In fact, yes, we would all do well to look for every alternative to borrowing. That said, many of us simply would not be able to get a degree without student loans....

    "From doctors to beautiful ladies..."

    Multicollinearity replied to epiphany's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I see the objectification because it's a pet peeve of mine. Think of it this way: when's the last time you heard someone thank all of the "handsome doctors and brilliant nurses?" No. Women...

    I think his statement does objectify the nurses. That said, his intent was sincerely good. I think we ought to understand where people are coming from (he's old school) and accept a compliment within...

    nursing students for choice

    Multicollinearity replied to vegetarian_goddess's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I am pro-choice however I would never refer to the opposition as "lunacy". I believe in showing respect for those who disagree with me. We can disagree and nobody here is a lunatic
