  1. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Great response, CCUNurse. So true about the difference as time wears on--our lives move on too and it's hard to make the time to see him on a regular basis. The problem also is that he's been moved so...

  2. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    LOL at having a screw loose! Yeah, it does feel awkward to keep a one-sided conversation going, especially since I'm not a very talkative person in the best of times. But I think it's worth it....

  3. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks Oncnurse. Maybe "stimulating" is the wrong word to use. I just see him lying there day after day, nothing to look at, nothing to do, barely able to move but still conscious. I just want to...

  4. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    Reading aloud is on the list. Lotion and hair brushing. Good suggestions. Keep 'em

  5. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm thinking of my uncle. He doesn't get enough visitors, even though there is a large extended family, and a large part of the reason is that people just don't know what to do when they go. I am...

  6. stimulating a vented patient

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Nursing

    No, that's not a hijack. That's useful information. What, people actually flash a flashlight into a vented patient's eyes? What goes through people's minds? If something wouldn't be comfortable for...

  7. What to do with kids during summer vacation

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Students

    For working/in school moms: What do you do with your school-age children during summer vacation? There are day camp programs available but they generally don't run all summer long, and I'm left with...

  8. What to do with kids during summer vacation

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    It's great that you have relatives who are willing to do this for you! I've thought of flying my mother in for a few weeks so she can take care of the kids but I'm afraid that it would be too much of...

  9. What to do with kids during summer vacation

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    I don't think 14-15 is old enough to be responsible for kids all day. I have a 13 year old and wouldn't consider leaving him in charge while I was in school. Nineteen is the minimum age I would...

  10. What to do with kids during summer vacation

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in General Students

    There are day camp programs available but they only run for like 6 weeks, leaving like a week or two at the beginning of summer and 2-3 weeks at the end uncovered. I'll have to look into finding a...

  11. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    JeanettePNP replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The problem for me was that applying to just this one program took an awful lot of steam out of me... Getting all the paperwork together, meeting all the requirements, all this while taking 20 credits...

  12. Reducing misuse of Emergency Departments!

    JeanettePNP replied to hmccartn's topic in Emergency

    What makes you think this will solve the problem rather than making it 1000x

  13. Becoming an RN just for the paycheck

    JeanettePNP replied to Nellie Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    If someone REALLY isn't in it for the money, they can stop at PCT or CNA. They do the bulk of hands-on caring for patients anyway. I can't think of any reason for someone to go to school and advance...

  14. "No, I am not pregnant"

    JeanettePNP replied to Tysmommy's topic in Nursing Humor

    This just happened to me last week. I was standing next to a pregnant nurse and another nurse comes up to us and says, "twin bumps." Except that I am NOT pregnant. I do have a bit of a tummy and what...

  15. NET question

    JeanettePNP replied to shady2178's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There were no math word problems. The science reading passages were actually not that hard, you are presented with one paragraph at a time and asked questions on that paragraph. However, the questions...

  16. Anyone else pinning all hope on getting accepted to ONE program?

    JeanettePNP replied to nursing8648's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes! I applied to only one school, SUNY-Downstate. My reasoning was the same as yours. I wanted an accelerated BSN, plus this is a public college and located very conveniently near my home. There are...

  17. NYU or SUNY Downstate '09 Hopefuls??

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just dropped off my application today at SUNY Downstate... Guess I'll be waiting a

  18. Anyone hear from SUNY Downstate for Summer '09 yet?

    JeanettePNP replied to Riles241's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I just dropped off my application today so I'm not expecting to hear anything for a while.... I heard it's very hard to get in though. What was your GPA like? Do you have health related...

    My grade is finally in and I got an

  20. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    JeanettePNP replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, I took the final tonight. Now I don't want to think about it. There were about 10 that I just wasn't sure of so there's a good chance I made at least a 90... and all my grades this term were in...

  21. Stool sample for Micro class?????

    JeanettePNP replied to RXtech's topic in General Students

    Taking a stool culture is really not a big deal. The ped gave me a kit when my daughter had a stomach bug. It's just a long q-tip that you dip into the orifice and then insert into a tube with a plug....

  22. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    JeanettePNP replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm taking Micro this semester, along with 4 psych courses. This is my very last pre-req before applying to nursing school! Things were pretty hairy up to the last minute as I was trying to do online...

  23. Lab Epectations for A&P1 & Chem?

    JeanettePNP replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got A's in A&P I and II, but I don't feel that I learned as much as I could have if we had actually done all the exercises and dissections that we were supposed to. It's not just limited to the...

  24. Lab Epectations for A&P1 & Chem?

    JeanettePNP replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was VERY disappointed with the labs in my school, in both A&P I and II. We hardly did ANYTHING. Before I took the classes I was looking forward to lab because I was sure we would do such...

  25. Does anyone have experience with AP or CLEP exams?

    JeanettePNP replied to calibound08's topic in General Students

    I CLEP'd tons of classes. U.S. History, Western Civ, Sociology, Human Dev, Analyzing and interpreting Lit, History & Social Science. I also took two Dantes exams: Intro to Art and Anthropology....
