  1. Do you find it hard to tolerate Gen Ed classes after nursing school?

    dano replied to nurse4theplanet's topic in General Students

    I'm with you too, but I've always been serious about college. In high school I wasn't wasting my own money by screwing off, I would be in college. I'll spend 3 hours in a lecture in the nursing...

  2. Need professional opinions on a pharm test question

    dano replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    Hrm. Interesting. The way she taught this part of analgesics in class she made salicylates sound like they're not NSAIDs. I know Aleve is naproxen, I have an anaphylactic reaction to it myself so I'm...

  3. Need professional opinions on a pharm test question

    dano replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    My bad, thanks for pointing it out. It was Advil, but it listed the generic as ibuprofen on the exam and I've got a habit of using Motrin as the example. I fixed it

  4. What's your Littmann stethescope of choice?

    dano replied to dano's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've got a doctor friend who said to trade someone with a colored one earpieces and diaphragm rings. I guess the colored ones are different colors than the black one, so this way if someone has swiped...

  5. What's your Littmann stethescope of choice?

    dano replied to dano's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Well I ordered the Cardiology III after all the good things you guys had to say about it. $135 shipped from Redding. I tried it out on my family lol. I've never auscultated a baby before and I tried...

  6. I need to spread my wings TO CANADA ASAP!!!

    dano replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    Key point there! Deal with all the bologna, suck it up, and start preparing to move. Don't go making a long-term move to fix a short-term problem. Finish your degree and then you can move wherever you...

  7. What's your Littmann stethescope of choice?

    dano replied to dano's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    It appears the only major difference is the diaphragm between the Cardiology III and Classic II S.E. I'm sure there's more, but that's the only biggie I can spot. Littmann's site says the C III is...

  8. A Nurse with Vasovagal Syncope Syndrome?

    dano replied to Always Smiling's topic in General Nursing

    I've got it as well, except mine's much worse. I had a positive tilt-table test back in summer and have fainted numerous times over the last three years. Mine is related to elevated BP and HR. I'm on...

  9. Need some interesting ideas for a presentation

    dano posted a topic in General Nursing

    My fundamentals class requires us to do a presentation on some aspect of nursing and health care with such topics as geriatric nursing, the nurse practitioner program, how high health care costs...

  10. Is this going to be a problem?

    dano posted a topic in General Nursing

    I've felt very run down and sick for the last week or so and I suspected mono. My doc ordered some bloodwork since they were out of MonoSpot tests in the office. It came back positive for mono. On top...

  11. New ER volunteer questions

    dano replied to Melina's topic in Emergency

    I volunteered in an ER for a year while in high school. I would say the volunteers are most helpful in doing tasks you'd rather not do because you could focus on something more productive with your...

  12. Anyone ever work full time while getting their RN?

    dano replied to RNpandoraRN's topic in General Nursing

    Congrats to all you guys and gals getting through doing it! I have worked 30-40 hours/week each semester for the last 3 years. I, like everyone else, am on a budget and can't sacrifice hours at work...

  13. Use of Prisoners in Drug Trials

    dano replied to indigo girl's topic in General Nursing

    I also believe that those who commited violent, unexcusable crimes AND are guilty beyond doubt should be subjected to pharmaceutical testing no matter how dangerous. They violated someone else's...

  14. ** Any Class of '09ers out there?? Post here!!!

    name: dan school: wayne state university, michigan program: bsn (3 years undergrad, 3 years program) what area of interest at this time: i've got my heart set on emergency medicine biggest fear:...

  15. Would this make you angry? Any words of wisdom?

    dano replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    Bring up the point about lack of sleep when you speak with the DON. Ask her if she really wants nurses running around not at their best of abilities due to not catching enough z's. Firstly, it's a...

  16. Annoyed about a bonus ...help *long*

    dano replied to Jesskanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing as I read the original post as well. At my work the boss rarely ever posts our schedule early. We usually have it up the Wednesday before the next work week. One time...

  17. Sometimes I hate being the nurse in the family

    dano replied to TazziRN's topic in General Nursing

    My mom always comes up with something like "You're going into the medical profession and you don't know why my foot hurts?" Granted I've had A&P, but just passing the course doesn't make me the...

  18. What do you do to calm yourself at work?

    dano posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'll be starting my clinicals this semester and I'm a little bit nervous, which isn't a bad thing necessarily. I am hardly full of myself and I know I'll be learning a great deal fairly quickly. My...

    dano replied to dano's topic in General Nursing

    I knew I should have said "besides smoking."

  20. Some musings about reading posts here...

    dano replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    Very well said. I don't care how someone writes their papers. It's a peeve of mine to read horribly written papers, but I won't lose sleep over it. I hope I've recovered myself from the grammar Nazi...

  21. Over 20 years at the hospital, left and not even a "thank you"????????

    dano replied to 27YearRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have to view it from a management perspective. She is leaving. She is not leaving them anything besides a new slot to fill. If anything, they're going to be ticked off because they now have to...

  22. What did you sacrifice to get where you are?

    dano replied to GTChick01's topic in General Nursing

    They own Mazda too. I considered getting a '06 Mazdaspeed 6. It's hard not to have fun in a 274-hp 6-speed shifted 4-door with a turbo motor. Getting something used was just a smarter choice...

  23. Some musings about reading posts here...

    dano replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    Good grief, people! If there's anyone with a sense of humor (humour?) it's me. The your/you're is just a big pet peeve of mine. It's all good. I think we're all having too much fun picking on grammar...

  24. Some musings about reading posts here...

    dano replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Nursing

    If I knew the grammar Nazi's were on patrol this evening I would have spelled out two lol. Yes I put lol at the end on purpose. I read my responses on AIM and I can't believe the way I type when...
