  9. Thimrosal-Autism-Childhood Vaccinations

    hypocaffeinemia replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    Citation needed. You make the claim, back it up. My source lists otherwise. WRONG! The dose makes the poison. This is true for every single chemical you put in your body (anything you eat or...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    if it isn't the point you were addressing, you've just moved the goalpost. i added emphasis to the key word. what do you think it means to evaluate? it isn't cruel to tell somebody they aren't...

  12. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Where is it stated it was told in front of class? In fact, from context, it appears it was told to the student privately and then discussed by the student with the author at some point

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ello7's topic in General Nursing

    Must be a per-area thing. Out when I was in the boondocks outside Dallas a good percentage of physicians at one time deemed board-eligible never bothered to challenge. They had no problems obtaining...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  15. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Just for the record, 450 pounds is several orders of magnitude away from "being overweight", unless, if my BMI calculation is correct, you're 8 foot 7 inches, minimum, in which case then perhaps...

  16. benefits of CCRN?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ello7's topic in General Nursing

    The reason I look forward to challenging it as soon as I meet the minimum qualifications after working for a year or two, clinical ladder aside, is because it is a certificate of mastery. The NCLEX...

  17. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Indeed it is. Without adequate details, we can only give the time-cherished nursing answer, "It depends". There are scenarios where a nursing instructor should tell a student this. Is this one of...

  19. What artery supplies blood to the anterior portion of the lower leg?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The answer to such a question would be "common iliac arteries". I'm just explaining things to help understand the anatomy. For example, it's weird that we refer to the aorta as "the aorta" its...

  20. ?Should students give IV push drugs?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Zans's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree with CardiacRN. I graduate in exactly two months and twenty days, and I already have a position as an ICU nurse where I currently work. Considering the sheer amount of IV medications in this...

  21. Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    hypocaffeinemia replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    This. Not everybody's cut out for everything in life. Many people are unaware of their own limitations or shortcomings. In such situations we collectively have a choice to: a) ignore glaringly...

  22. What artery supplies blood to the anterior portion of the lower leg?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hypocaffeinemia replied to JadenRN TO BE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  24. Should Personal Internet Use be Banned During Nursing Shifts?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing
