  1. pilonidal cyst

    kats posted a topic in General Nursing

    My hubby has a pilonadal cyst on his lower back. It is really an awful thing. They had to cut at least an inch down to clean it out and now we are packing it 3 x's a day with Sorbsan. Apparently, we...

  2. certified letter?

    kats posted a topic in General Students

    This question is for all of you who have either been accepted or denied to a nursing school. I had to go to the hospital with my hubby today (he is fine, he just had to have a cyst removed). Anyways,...

  3. pilonidal cyst

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    No, I have been very careful to not pack too much. The first time, I actually didn't pack enough as I found out when I took it out and realized how little was in there. His is right over his tailbone...

  4. certified letter?

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Students

    It just wasn't meant to be. I really do think I have a better shot at the other school. I was just hoping that the waiting to find out part would be over. Thanks for the hugs

  5. certified letter?

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Students

    That's what I thought too. Unfortunately, they were actually notifying me that they too had changed their policy after receiving applications to not accept people who aren't entirely done with their...

  6. level II vs. level III neonatal units

    kats posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was doing some reading about neonatal nursing. It said that there aren't very many level I neonatal units as they are for healthy infants and since the hospital visit is so short now for mothers and...

  7. Desktop vs laptop

    kats replied to Gampopa's topic in General Students

    We have a desktop and a laptop. My hubby uses the desktop and I use the laptop. We also have DSL so we can both be online at the same time. Anyways, I would use my laptop over his desktop anytime....

  8. level II vs. level III neonatal units

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks prmenrs, I was wondering about that. I figured that it would probably be good for most babies to be held, but also thought that some of the babies might be too

  9. level II vs. level III neonatal units

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    I don't mind. I understand it is easier. I am just very early in my education. I have worked as a volunteer (CICU, ICU, intermediate care, OR, and the lab to get my phlebotomy certificate) and a CNA...

  10. level II vs. level III neonatal units

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the information. I still have a ways before I graduate, but so far I think I would like working with babies. Just another question if you don't mind. What do the abbreviations NEC, SVT,...

  11. Anorexic woman on Maury P. show.

    kats replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, it's been years since it happened. While I was pregnant and after my son was born, I gained weight. Then I tried several diets and went through a period of undiagnosed anxiety and...

  12. Anorexic woman on Maury P. show.

    kats replied to oramar's topic in General Nursing

    I can actually relate to the point of view of the person with anorexia. While I was lucky enough to never get to be too severe, I was headed that way when I first went to college right out of high...

  13. surgical tech to RN?

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for your very helpful response. If nothing else, by the end of this next fall semester, I will have all the nursing pre-requisites done so I could be able to go straight into a nursing...

  14. surgical tech to RN?

    kats replied to kats's topic in General Nursing

    If it is not possible, I will still continue on for my RN. I was just wondering what you all knew to be available. I guess none of you did this though,

  15. Tips on drawing blood and putting in IV's?

    kats replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    I almost forgot, I still haven't yet done a draw with a syringe yet, but I am supposed to do that this next Friday.

  16. Tips on drawing blood and putting in IV's?

    kats replied to Anagray's topic in General Nursing

    I am learning phlebotomy too now. I have 45 successful sticks and need to have 50 to take my test to be certified. I will be taking my test next Friday. I only work on Friday mornings since I take...

  17. letters of recommendation samples?

    kats posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, like I have said before I am volunteering in the OR at the hospital here on base. I know that I will need some of the people I am working with to write letters of recommendation for when I apply...
