  1. Is there such a thing as "too positive"?

    JeanettePNP replied to TazziRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This is so true. It's like, people don't know what to do with kindness. Hostility they understand and can handle but kindness is something that's out of their range and they are looking for...

  2. what is in cabbage leaves that suppresses milk production?

    JeanettePNP replied to GingerSue's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know how it works, but I can attest that it does work. I had such bad engorgement with my firstborn that he couldn't latch on. I applied a raw cabbage leaf and within a few hours my breasts...

  3. "You're gonna need to learn Spanish...."

    JeanettePNP replied to smkiya's topic in General Nursing

    To me learning a foreign language is not a political issue. It's an issue of adding to your skills and marketability. If you speak a language of a population group that's common in your area, you...

  4. Interesting places where women have given birth

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I'm sure that the people who choose UC or lay midwives aren't too hung up over details like eyedrops and vitamin K. If they really wanted them they probably would make different birth

  5. Interesting places where women have given birth

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    CNMs can administer both eyedrops and vitamin K. Many parents choose to forego these procedures and the midwives usually cooperate with that

    JeanettePNP replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Not GingerSue here, but the difference between the Terri Schiavo case and other "die peacefully" cases is that she was not attached to any tubes or machines, nor was she on a strong regimen of...

  7. Chemistry for nursing students

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My school offers two different Chemistry courses--a regular one and a separate one for pre-nursing. If anyone else has taken a special Chemistry course for nursing, how is it different than regular...

  8. Chemistry for nursing students

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

    Classes started this week and it definitely is a dumbed down course. It probably has more to do with where I'm taking the class than the fact that it's for nurses, but it's not nearly as rigorous as...

  9. phone calls no outsider would believe

    JeanettePNP replied to JBudd's topic in Emergency

    I had pinkeye last year while I was still nursing and tried the breastmilk cure, but it didn't

  10. Interesting places where women have given birth

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    All pregant women should be prepared for the possiblity of emergency unassisted childbirth. They should know what to do if the baby starts coming precipitously. In my very first childbirth class...

  11. nursing school Pre-Reqs???

    JeanettePNP replied to lullaby's topic in New York Nursing

    You have to be going to school full time to qualify for financial aid, which means minimum of 12 credits. Unless you have some easier courses that are also needed as pre-reqs, it would be very hard...

  12. Empire State, Medgar Evers, Suny Downstate

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in New York Nursing

    Here is my current plan: Finish a bachelor's online through Empire State College, take the science pre-reqs at Medgar Evers, and then apply to SUNY Downstate's accelearated BSN program. My main...

  13. Interesting places where women have given birth

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    And the baby survived that? I read a story of a woman whose baby shot out headfirst onto the floor while the nurse's back was turned... unfortunately not a very happy

  14. Interesting places where women have given birth

    JeanettePNP replied to JeanettePNP's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's one thing I like about planned homebirth--no mad dash to the

  15. study- cram or everynight

    JeanettePNP replied to momx4's topic in General Students

    I couldn't possibly complete 100+ pages of dense reading in a one-night cramming session, let alone comprehend and process all of it. I need lots of time to read the information, let it all sink in,...

  16. Financial Aid nightmares

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So, I'm all done registering for the Spring term. I applied for both state and federal aid, and I was accepted according to them, but none of the aid is showing up on my tuition bill statements and...

  17. Chemistry for nursing students

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

    Oh, I'm disappointed that Chemistry for nurses is a dumbed down version. If I had known that I would have taken regular Chem. I thought I would learn more in this class, not

  18. COMPASS anyone?

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Did anyone here have to take a COMPASS math placement test? I went to school today to register and I was informed that I needed to take the math placement test to make sure I could handle college...

  19. COMPASS anyone?

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

    The Compass test is designed to give you questions only on what you know. They start off with more basic level questions and work up towards the more advanced stuff. So if you bomb the first part,...

  20. Dear nurse, I really don't want to bother you

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in General Nursing

    I saw this on an ER thread and I feel it needs to be discussed. Before anyone flames me, this post is not intended to attack nurses, especially ER nurses. I feel that I do need some clarification...

  21. High school transcripts (RANT!)

    JeanettePNP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so fed up with my high school and their sluggishness with sending out transcripts! I filed a transcript request months ago and the transcripts were never sent. I gave in my high school diploma...

  22. What's worse than having a strict grading range?...

    JeanettePNP replied to kimmie518's topic in General Nursing

    It could work to your advantage though, because if you get a low 90 you still have a 4.0, while in other schools a low 90 is a 3.7. Some professors also grade differently, so you might have earned a B...

  23. Uninsured=financial ruin

    JeanettePNP replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think that you are so quick to frame this as a right-wing vs. left-wing debate that you are jumping on me as if I am morally condemning the uninsured rather than perceiving in me that perhaps we...

  24. Uninsured=financial ruin

    JeanettePNP replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    First of all the long-term unemployed or underemployed are not counted in the unemployment statistics. Someone could have a very low-paying job or be working very part time and not count as...

  25. Thinking out of the box re: Nursing education

    JeanettePNP replied to psalm_55's topic in General Nursing

    Actually my perception was the opposite. Before I started looking into nursing school, I thought they needed six years of training at least! Was I shocked to learn that you could become a nurse in...
