    KScott posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    KScott replied to 2bNurseguru's topic in General Nursing

    KScott replied to tryingtomakeit's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Did you check the title on the SUV? Maybe, it wasn't the WIC mom's car, but the ride she had to get to the hospital from a friend, or neighbor, because she didn't have a car of her own? Or, maybe...

    This is what I'm talking about! When I was a kid we played outside all the day long. Heck, we had a swamp cooler in the house. Now, I always say we get "sunned-in" like other people get...

    KScott replied to Jayla's topic in Ob/Gyn

    KScott replied to egroeg_kyut's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm a native of Phoenix. There is a lot of good and a lot of bad around here. The good, it doesn't snow. The bad it's hotter than Hades. I don't know, if it's just my age, or what, but it seems it's...

  15. Hispanic patients

    KScott replied to RNfromMS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I get it now. I'm not a nurse, yet, and I don't work in a hospital, so I can't help, but maybe, you could post your request in the Arizona, California and New Mexico forums to get a more direct...

  16. Hispanic patients

    KScott replied to RNfromMS's topic in Ob/Gyn

    This seems so odd to me, living in Arizona. Everything is in English and Spanish. Why won't your hospital print the forms in Spanish, or am I misunderstanding what you're

  18. Correctional nursing questions?

    KScott replied to banditrn's topic in Correctional

    I'm not a nurse, so I can't answer your nursing questions, but I used to work at the county jail. As far as your brother is concerned, I would just call the recruiter and ask if that's going to be a...

    KScott replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

  20. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    KScott replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    Everytime I walk into a hospital, I feel like I'm supposed to be working. My husband has high blood pressure and diabetes. He's 54. I want to make sure I can support us and take care of him, if I...

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

    I just graduated in May with a BFA in Art (Painting). As you can imagine, I didn't have a whole lot of science in that degree. My psych class, math, comp 101 & 102, philosopy, and humanities...

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

    To the OP - Here are a couple quotes I use to deal with myself when I start getting too far ahead, or too far behind of this moment. These are from Eckhart Tolle in his "Power of Now" book. They're...
