  1. I'm tired, lonely, depressed, and frustrated.

    kenny b posted a topic in General Students

    It's midnight on Friday. I may be finished by 9 AM in time for class at 10. I don't know what to do. I never see my family. I just sit at this stupid desk and read and type all of the time, and I...

    kenny b replied to kenny b's topic in General Students

    Thank you. I think I'll sleep a little now. It's been 36

  3. I'm tired, lonely, depressed, and frustrated.

    kenny b replied to kenny b's topic in General Students

    Came pretty close a few times today. Not even the heated talk shows could help. The icy blast of Fall helped a little though. Yeah, the math degree was nothing compared to

  4. I'm tired, lonely, depressed, and frustrated.

    kenny b replied to kenny b's topic in General Students

    You know, I see support like this all the time on this board, and I think, "It's nice, but it doesn't seem like it would really help." But it helped a whole heap, and I thank you much for it. I did...

  5. UNM, Looking for some help!

    kenny b replied to NMCoNstudent's topic in General Nursing

    It's too early to stress out. I can't help you with the books, but go to fastweb.com and scholarships.com for the scholarships. You can also use google. If you make scholarship apps a 1 to 2 hour...

  6. Difficulty hearing pulse with stethoscope

    kenny b replied to merkleyb's topic in General Nursing

    If you are, in fact, listening with a cuff, and you're releasing the pressure slowly, then make sure your stethoscope bell is rotated to the correct position. Some of them rotate, and you have to tap...

  7. learning another language

    kenny b replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    If you have the time, and you really practice, Rosetta Stone seems to work pretty well. It helps a ton if you learn with a friend or loved one. It also helps if you have a fluent friend who can...

  8. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    Great point. CPR and Basic First Aid are like that. They can be the difference between life and death. Rgds, Kenny

  9. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    The EMS folks have resources for dealing with this kind of thing. You might contact them about it. I know this may not help, but when you look back at it practically, it sounds like you did the most...

  10. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    Sure, but I didn't say anything about proving negligence. I said "held liable." Your comment about unduly influenced (or confused) juries lies at the core of my point here. I know it's cynical, but...

  11. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    And I haven't met a single firefighter or paramedic who disagrees with this assessment. They all seem to feel that the response is adequate and they either won't stop, or they'll provide minimal aid....

  12. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to argumentative here. I just think it's important that people know possible repercussions of their actions. When I started my EMT class I asked where I could get a jump pack for my...

  13. Metric system conversions..need I say more?

    kenny b replied to Buffy31's topic in General Nursing

    Memorizing which way the decimal goes works for some people, but it could cause you to make a mistake one day that could hurt someone (when things are going crazy, you have a lot of patients, and you...

  14. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    I never said he doesn't render aid. He administers CPR and basic first aid if necessary. He won't got beyond that because of liability issues. It's the easiest thing in the world to judge him and...

  15. 1st on scene of accident yesterday...what would you do?

    kenny b replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Nursing

    That's splendid, but I'd be careful with it. My EMT-B instructor has been a paramedic for years, and he says he doesn't carry a single band-aid in his truck off duty. Why? He does care about people,...

  16. accelerated bsn

    kenny b replied to msxyz's topic in General Nursing

    University of New Mexico has an accelerated BSN that starts in May. The ap is due in January. Santa Fe Community College has an accelerated class starting next May and I don't think you have to apply...

  17. Apollo College myths

    kenny b replied to carsonallen1's topic in Arizona Nursing

    That's just grand, and it may be true. However, I attended Apollo in Albuquerque, and I can tell you for a fact that representatives from that school lied to me more than once. If you want to verify...

  18. St. Vincent's Hospital in Santa Fe, NM

    kenny b replied to Town & Country's topic in General Nursing

    There's no reason you can't rent a place in Albuquerque (or even better, Bernallilo), and commute up to Santa Fe for awhile. If you like it, you could get a place up there. If you don't, you could...

  19. mixing medications

    kenny b replied to GmaC13's topic in General Nursing

    If I were going to do it, I'd mix them into the bottle with the earliest expiration date. That way the worst that could happen is that the meds would be wasted early. Regards, Kenny

  20. Nursing

    kenny b replied to MIAMI R.N2b's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. A lot of self-esteem problems can be cured through the helping of others (certain types of self-esteem problems that is). Nursing might be just the thing. I'm 36 and going for it. I've...

    Yes, why not circle things. Thanks for the clarification. Rgds, Kenny

  23. Writing on Fetal Monitor strips

    kenny b replied to teriadn2004's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Could you please tell me why? Thanks in advance! Regards, Kenny

  24. My Feet are KILLING Me!!

    kenny b replied to BeachGirl08's topic in General Nursing

    And here is where it comes down to a couple of things. Once again, orthotic design is an art form, and not everyone is an artist. The podiatrist has to come with a great (data-based) reputation. The...

  25. My Feet are KILLING Me!!

    kenny b replied to BeachGirl08's topic in General Nursing

    6 words - Custom orthotics from a good podiatrist. I tried many different shoes when I was training, and it came down to the orthotic insoles for me. They not only mold them to your feet, they...
