    HandsOffMySteth replied to J.Adderton's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I take any political stuff with a grain of salt. First they say Trump is a racist because he wants to keep people from infected countries out. Now they say he should have stopped them from getting...

  2. Transferring into another ABSN program?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to futurenurse111's topic in General Students

    That would depend on if the program you wish to transfer to accepts transfers. I have never heard of any program that does this so I doubt it is possible. First thing you would need to do is to...

  4. Frustrating Nurse Family Members

    HandsOffMySteth replied to adventure_rn's topic in General Nursing

    So what does one do when the guests of a patient are interfering in the care of the patient? At what point do we tell them they need to go? It seems to me if they are your patient you should have...

  5. Microbiology & Physiology

    HandsOffMySteth replied to stormii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't recommend it. In order to be competitive you will need high grades in those. These courses can be very time consuming and difficult. When taking prerequisites, I recommend taking a difficult...

  12. How do you feel about a robot as your nurse assistant?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Julie's topic in Nursing News

  14. Do you consider an infiltrated IV a medical emergency

    HandsOffMySteth replied to guest1074618's topic in General Nursing

    HandsOffMySteth replied to tmccstu2018's topic in General Students

    I've used both OS and left Windows for macOS because of Windows 10. Windows 7 was the last good windows. Microsofts update is crap in that they need to release patches to fix patches. Sometimes you...

  19. Heartbroken

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Snowchild's topic in General Nursing

    These things are never fun to say the least. Just try to keep some perspective in that most of the time these things tend to pass. One thing a person finds out about life as they age is that things...

  25. Anyone not good at math but turned things around?

    HandsOffMySteth replied to Wannabenurseneko's topic in General Students

    The problem is not that you are bad at math. The problem is you don't know what to do. Math is like Kung Fu, you need to master the basics before you can do the harder stuff. There is no feeling in...
