    Something new in med surg-2 !

    The very best teacher I've ever had (not in nursing, btw) used to give us detailed class notes at the beginning of each week. His reasoning was that he wanted us to pay attention to him and interact...

    How honest would you be in this situation?

    I tend to be very self-revelatory... and experience has shown that it's typically to my detriment. Remember, this is not a social relationship nor a friendship... it's all business and you need to...

    How honest would you be in this situation?

    I haven't read the thread yet so this may be redundant but I would be totally honest... meaning fill out all forms completely and accurately, have an accurate resume, and respond to any questions that...

    Show me your muscles!

    Well, I presume this is obvious but maybe not... Be sure you say them out loud and be sure that you're saying them correctly. Other than that...

    Disturbed Energy Field

    Neurons absolutely do conduct current... the action potential that propagates down the axon. Electron flow (that is, electrical current) creates an electromagnetic

    Going from BA and RN to BSN???

    Definitely -- if you've already got a BA then you should go for an

    Accelerated Program

    I'm in an accelerated MSN program (everybody's got either a BA/BS or MA/MS coming in). How rigorous? Umm, it moves right along. The first semester was downright brutal and the second was pretty tough....

    Disturbed Energy Field

    There is undoubtedly an electromagnetic field around each neuron because current is flowing... wherever current is flowing there is a related field. Now given the very, very low amperage, the fields...

    i am sooo scared

    I know it's hard to wait but it's good practice. Perhaps it will help you empathize with patients who have to wait weeks to get tests performed and interpreted. Try to relax and stop thinking about...

    Disturbed Energy Field

    Well, figure the placebo effect will get you 20-25% right off so everything works to one degree or
  12. Well, they look pretty funky but you could consider some ear-muffs. Mine are 32 db and shut out nearly everything... and they're comfy. I don't wear 'em class but I do use them when I try to sleep on...

    The real reason I'm freaking out

    Is it a reflection on your performance? I know that in our program they do consider your performance in classes in making assignments. Essentially, the better students get first choice if all other...

    CNL v. NP

    I'm in a CNL program and the CNL stuff is just systems and process stuff. If you've no background in such things then it's worth learning. Regardless, though, at the end of the program I'll be a...

    Nurses working harder than doctors?

    Of course, more than a few nurses act like jerks, too. Having just spent a few weeks in a clinical rotation through a medical residency clinic I have to say that I felt much more welcomed and included...

    Starting a website

    Hmm, I'm not sure that you're going to get a lot of traction there because it doesn't seem to offer anything that you can't already find here. I could be wrong, though. Speaking from my own...

    How many of you plan on going beyond BSN?

    I'm an MSN out of the gate. Highly likely that I'll go after an NP and perhaps a DNSc. I used to think a PhD was for me but all the "nursey" stuff crammed down our throats in nursing school is just...
  19. You're the oldest guy out of the gate that I know. I'm 44. Another dude in my class is 52. Got a friend who was 42. So, you're the winner. Congratulations... you're gonna have a ton of experience to...

    Nurses working harder than doctors?

    These "us vs. them" comparative posts are asinine. Physicians have difficult jobs, just as do nurses... and many other professions as well. What point do you think is served by spending energy on...

    Confused about going to school??

    Do physicians' offices really have nurses... I mean real, live RNs? My family's got way more than our share of doctors and the only nurse I've ever seen in their clinics was an NP. Lots of MAs... no...

    Confused about math ques.

    The units in the problem statement is incorrect. The correct units, and the ones you get if you include the units in Daytonite's solution, are cc/hr. With all answers you should apply the "Is this...

    Hi, I'm screwed

    Geez, if one lousy "F" makes one a loser then I'm a big one. Add to those F's at least one D and whole host of C's and you've got my transcript in your hand. And neither of us are losers. And, I...
  24. Uh, what are you talking about? Take a gander at any nursing school you care to name and tell me that nobody wants to become nurses. The local hospital in my town just laid off a number of nurses, the...
  25. Three out of 24 here and the only dude at my clinical site. I've not felt what you describe at all. Quite the contrary, in fact. I've had more than one senior nurse express her support for increasing...
