  1. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    KScott replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I ate the schnitzel. I love schnitzel. It just took me a while to get over the fact it wasn't what my mother said it was. I told my brother, the other day, that I told about his schnitzel on...

  2. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    KScott replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    ROFL! I'm "multi-cultural." (Really, but I won't get into that...) Anyway, I never knew what a schnitzel really was until I went to Germany. Then when I saw it laying there all flat and breaded it...

  5. Male Nursing student question about pediatrics

    KScott replied to royr's topic in Pediatric

    This woman is off her gourd. What a filthy mind. My kid's pediatrician was a male. I wonder what she would think of that! :trout: Bad lady. Very

  6. Smoking and Nursing, coping with stressors?

    KScott replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congratulations! Four days is an amazing accomplishment! After seven days your physical cravings will be gone - i.e. the jittery feeling - and after that, it will be psychological. Once, I was...

  7. ER: The dumping place

    KScott replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    ND MOM, I think your story indicates the need to take all ER patients seriously. Had your husband died, it would not be the girl-in-the-waiting-room-with-the-hangover's fault, it would be the...

  8. ER: The dumping place

    KScott replied to Happy-ER-RN's topic in Emergency

    I don't know, I'm not a nurse, but maybe all the "unsick" are just practice patients for the "real sick." You have to be there anyway, right? I'm sure getting a break would be nice, and not being...

  10. Never post replies or start new threads at your hospital's computer

    KScott replied to Captain America's topic in General Nursing

    Well, he doesn't use the private option. (Neither do I.) I tried to impress on him, after finding his totally inappropriate MySpace page, under his real name, how detrimental that would be to his...

  11. Never post replies or start new threads at your hospital's computer

    KScott replied to Captain America's topic in General Nursing

    My son tries to tell me his MySpace page is private. No. It's not. If anyone in the world can read it, so can I, so can his boss and so can his teacher. I think he's finally getting the

  13. Advice on Paying for it All

    KScott replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I originally thought it would be faster for me to go to the community college as well. When I figured out my schedule, i.e. you have to take this class before that class and that class before the next...

  14. Advice on Paying for it All

    KScott replied to maryshome8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Here's an idea... Do you have a university in your area where you can get your nursing degree? The reason I ask is, while a university is a lot more expensive than a community college, (being as they...

  15. Smoking and Nursing, coping with stressors?

    KScott replied to MaleRNstudent21's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I started smoking when I was 14 years old. I quit when I was 39 - six years ago. Here are some tricks to help you, but the only way you will quit is if you really want to. If you have a bad day at...

  16. Was I doing my job, or was I too attached?

    KScott replied to Megsd's topic in General Nursing

    Whether you knew her for a minute, or a lifetime, it is your right and need to grieve. Your mind, body and spirit has a process it needs to go through to come to terms with certain events it is...

  17. Pt Threats and Name Badges (again)

    KScott replied to Meerkat's topic in General Nursing

    I used to work in the county jail as a detention officer. Our names plates had our first initial and last name. We were to be called by our last names by fellow workers and by the inmates. We were...

  19. Are You Happy ?

    KScott replied to buildingmyfaith57's topic in General Nursing

    It's only 88 degrees here right now! I'm ecstatic! It's only temporary, though. I'm sure we'll be back up in the one-teens soon enough, but for today... HALLELUJAH! oH hAPpy dAY! oh happy day!...

    KScott replied to KMARN16's topic in Government, Military

    I didn't go in the Army as a nurse, but I can tell you, I joined the Army Reserve, before I went Regular Army. Yes, if you go regular, active duty, (not just active as a reserve), your new contract...

  22. ANATOMY 1 class is ALWAYS FULL! X(

    KScott replied to JEWELZxO6's topic in General Students

  24. Worried that my school is an idiot!!!

    KScott replied to luvmy3kids's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Part of the graduation requirements for any school is that you learn to navigate through their BS. (And I don't mean a BS degree.) It prepares you for "real"
