  1. Is this LEGAL?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    In your quotation of my post, I think you accidentally skipped the sentence following the one above where I stated that it isn't applicable where there is implicit (or of course explicit) endorsement...

  2. Is this LEGAL?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think jbeau actually thinks that (or at least was seriously directing it at that poster). I think he was using it as an example to point out to those who see nothing wrong with the scenario as...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to 2bmalenurse007's topic in General Nursing

  7. Male scrubs?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to X-treme's topic in Men in Nursing

    Until I graduate, I'm using my hospitals' monogrammed ones that are fairly unisex. I would avoid these if at all possible as just like they make females look like amorphous blobs, they do so with men...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ritaPHIL's topic in Patient Medications

    I just looked Buprenex up for you and it isn't given orally due to a high first pass effect. It can be given SL, IV, or IM,

  9. why is clonidine given to a substance abuse

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ritaPHIL's topic in Patient Medications

    Clonidine works to inhibit the production of norepinephrine, which in effect relaxes the sympathetic nervous system. In cases of substance abuse and subsequent withdrawal, common sympathetic nervous...

  10. Is this LEGAL?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It wasn't a joke. The whole-grainy FSM is hurt by all those who deny his presence and turn to false idols. They may offer false hopes of salvation and small unleavened crackers, but the FSM offers...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the inevitable reply that the U.S. is a Christian nation and all others should just deal with it, let's see what our founders actually thought. From the Treaty of Tripoli, 1797: This was...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i find your comparison of saudi arabia, a strict authoritarian theocratic monarchy, to the united states, a secular democratic republic, frightening. again, answer my question regarding a white...

    hypocaffeinemia replied to passionflower's topic in Holistic

    Double blinds. Mechanisms. That or it's nothing but snake oil and cheapens our profession. The scientific method applies to everything in life. Those that say otherwise have something to gain from...

  21. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Your system's set up to promote it. Here in Texas, there's one BSN program for every 5-8 ADN programs. To make such a thing possible, a ton of subsidy would need to go for not only hiring new...

  23. Is this LEGAL?

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Atheism is simply a position on belief of gods. It has no prescriptive functions that make proselytization a non-issue. It's not a non-issue for me. Atheism doesn't equal apathy. Highly debatable....

    hypocaffeinemia replied to ShoesOnTooTight's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Atheism has nothing to do with tolerance for coerced proselytization. What she did was quite likely not legal. "Get over it" isn't a valid or rational response. What if it were about race and not...
