  1. Community Health is kicking my b**t!

    justpoorfect posted a topic in General Students

    I swear my instructor want to own every waking minute of my life! I thought Med-Surg I & II were very hard, but this CH is near impossible. Due to the fact that we can't do 12 hour shifts at...

  2. Community Health is kicking my b**t!

    justpoorfect replied to justpoorfect's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for your responses. I do want to perform well for this class. It just seems I research and type for so many hours and still feel inadequate to the task. I am sure I will make it...

  3. Teenage Obesity (long)

    justpoorfect replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    I saw a program on tv about a woman who had a terrible time losing weight, so she thought outside the box. She now gets up early morning and prepares her supper. Having the largest meal of the day...

    justpoorfect replied to pyseymo's topic in Cardiac

    I am sorry for your loss. You might consider checking to see if there are groups geared toward grieving children in your area. Your kids are probably thinking the same things you are. Best

    justpoorfect replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    Be sure to contact your attorney re: child support. Even on disability, he needs to contribute. These kinds of stories make me so sad. On TV the other night I saw they featured a woman from NJ or...

  7. Post Mortem Movement

    justpoorfect replied to Shadelyn's topic in General Nursing

    I met an older lady who was a student at my university about a year ago. She told me she has a habit of dying at the drop of a hat. She has been pronounced several times and has even awakened in the...

  9. Job loss, domestic violence, help on advice for getting back on the horse!!!!!!

    justpoorfect replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    If it was my call, I would rescind my resignation and try to tough it out for my year's experience. It may stink, but not as bad as losing everything would. The Domestic Violence center will counsel...

  11. Full day CPR course--what to expect

    justpoorfect replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    My school does accept Red Cross training, but it has to be the course tailored for the medical professional and include the Automatic Electrical Defibrillator. To me, (44 and overweight), it was...

  12. Policy on IV tubing/bag change?

    justpoorfect replied to climberrn's topic in General Nursing

    This is interesting. At a clinical site, my pt. had NS 20ml/hr KVO from a 1000 ml bag for 50 hrs. When I checked the tubing, it was tagged to be changed 9 DAYS

  13. The Today Show

    justpoorfect replied to bklynborn's topic in General Nursing

    How about scrubs that have an imprint of 4 inch letters that say "RN" or "AIDE" or "RESP"? If that's offensive, how about a red cross armband or

  14. i'm really angry.. should i be??

    justpoorfect replied to goats'r'us's topic in General Nursing

  15. What Causes Idiopathic Bruising?

    justpoorfect replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

  16. Cheating on nursing exams

    justpoorfect replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    I do not agree with the simplistic statement that students who cheat on exams = bad nurses. The reality is so much more complex and prone to subjectivity. For instance, we can debate the relative...

  17. Cheating on nursing exams

    justpoorfect replied to MiaNJ's topic in General Nursing

    So, what is it going to be? Are you going to try to destroy anyone who dares score higher than you on a test? Will you meet with the Dean to warn her that her teaching staff are too lazy to switch...

  18. Did you see "Out of Control, AIDS & African Am."?

    justpoorfect posted a topic in General Nursing

    Wow! I thought it was really an eye-opener. Started by Peter Jennings before his death, it was about the impact of AIDS on African Americans, and how it has been ignored by media, politicians,...

  19. Plan B

    justpoorfect replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I say the USE OF THE DRUG is safe, regardless of the patient's irresponsibility in their sexual life. That is a separate issue and a matter of choice. Until proven otherwise, the drug will remain on...

  20. Plan B

    justpoorfect replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I would be willing to read any studies you might point to that indicate Plan B is unsafe due to a patient's

  21. Plan B

    justpoorfect replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    If you re-read my post, you will see I did not say that anyone had no concerns about patient safety. (At least you would see that if I made more sense!) What I meant to say is that many are focusing...

  22. Plan B

    justpoorfect replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    The only reason given for NOT using Plan B as a regular BC method on the manufacturer's site is that it is not as effective as low-dose BC pills would be, so pregnancy risk increases. However, it...

  23. Plan B

    justpoorfect replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    cotjockey and TazziRN: Do you think using emergency contraception twice a year indicates that person is using it as primary BC and it is too much? What would be your upper limit for emergency...

  24. Plan B

    justpoorfect replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    Why should anyone be afraid of another form of birth control? It is a high dose of the same hormone found in regular BC pills. Is there a great difference in how regular BC pills prevent...
