  1. Funny quotes from patients

    Here is a funny one: When my mother gave birth to me she had an episiotomy. A med student was busy suturing her, after what seemed like an eternity she popped her head up and said "What are you doing? Sewing a dress down there?" Morbid don't you thi...
  2. patient teaching...or lack of

    Yesterday I went on an obstetrical experience as a second year student. The RN whom I was paired with was helping the new mom to breast feed...well I shouldn't say "helping" rather "doing" the breast feeding for this first time mom. She would not let...
  3. Have I Chosen the Wrong University?

    I'm so sorry that you're having a difficult time with CBL. It really sounds like you will make a great nurse with your determination and drive. What areas do you think that you're having the most difficulty with? The hardest thing for me is making s...

  5. Have I Chosen the Wrong University?

    I'm taking the exact same program as the U of A at GMCC and I think that you have a bum teacher if she isn't going through the labs properly...CBL has nothing to do with the crappy way she's doing her labs. CBL is ok if you're willing to do the work....
  6. Have I Chosen the Wrong University?

    renee? Is that You?
  7. A Mother AND a student????

    I will be a first year Nursing student Starting Sept. 3. So how come I have this big lump in my throat and tears welling in my eyes? I have a 3 year old and a 17 month old. They've never been in a dayhome in their lives. I was committed to being a s...
  8. Disaster of 1st day of RN program

    I had Orientation yesterday and man....you were not lying about stupid people. We spent hours going over our e-mail access,YAWN, and how to access the online Library, Yawn. These things are sooooooo self explanitory. They should make it an optional w...
  9. Essential tremor

    MsPurp, My husband also has Essential tremors and he is 27. He was diagnosed at about 25, so yes young people do get it. I heard something about lavender oil, but we never tried it. Alas we filed it under "non-life threatening" just as kids-r-fun did...
  10. Question about donating blood

    If you just go to a blood clinic they will have a manual specific to donation and medication. They will be able to tell you with a great deal of certainty. Sarah:eek: :eek:
  11. Hospital or meat market?

    i thought the title would get your attention! what i'm wondering is: how many of you nurses are married to doctors and do you have fullfilling marriages? not that i'm on the prowl for a doctor husband, i'm happily married to a wonderful man, i thoug...
  12. How many of you married doctors?

    Implants are the answer to your prayers. With implants you can have any man you like! Look, you could have Ted Turner...He seems to like implants. Why stop at a Dr. when you could get ol' Teddy boy? Sarah :biggringi ***warning: this of course is a ...
  13. Service scholarship???

    I say go to that hospital and talk to the nurses. If the hospital is a complete dive forget it but if it's tolerable go for it. I have applied to a similar program and am really eager to get accepted. If it turns out to be absolutely horrible, then l...
  14. Want to be a nurse...but too stupid?!?

    Worthy, Hidi is right, learning as an adult is easier beacuse you have the drive that alot of high school kids lack. I did not take ANY Chemistry in high School. I hated it. Last fall I applied into Nursing and I was condtionally accepted, condition ...
  15. Question about nursing school and needles???

    I think it's not a question of WILL you get over it but WHEN wil you get over it. As an RN it's an important part of your job. My mom takes Chemo and hates getting stuck 5 or 6 times before the nurse hits a vein. She can tell the ones who aren't conf...

    Cheryl, Look at it this way, How far do you think Blondie is gonna make it in nursing if she's put out for having to get papers towels? Alot more is going to be expected of her out of the pts. Sarah
  18. What's the weirdest baby name?

    How about Hunter, Fisher, and Trapper for three boys. The father was an avid outdoorsman. I had friend who just had a baby boy named Cache. We told her if she had a girl to name her Carrie. Cache and Carrie (get it?) Cash and carry???? lol:chuckle :r...

  21. Vanity vs Sensation

    Nikita, I really don't have an answer to your question, all I can say is go for it if thats what you want. You really don't need to listen to anyone else on this one. When I'm done having kids I'm looking at getting a reduction for many reasons. I lo...
  22. RN versus LPN

    So please explain to me the difference? I feel ignorant not really understanding the difference. How do they differ in duties, scheduling, pay and benefits as well as anything that I may be missing. I've heard different things. I 100% plan on becomin...
