  1. I was threatened by a Nursing Assistant

    Miss Chybil RN replied to acetabulum's topic in General Nursing

    The OP is in Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates. I've never been there, but from what I've seen and read the women in Dubai enjoy more freedoms than those in Saudi Arabia. That doesn't say much...

  2. How long did you wait?

    Miss Chybil RN replied to JettaDP's topic in Arizona Nursing

    My daughter-in-law and I have both been waiting since last summer for the Maricopa Colleges. I didn't want to wait and started at Yavapai College in Prescott this last January. I am now done with my...

  5. There is no nursing shortage!

    Miss Chybil RN replied to fizz2Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse, yet. I'm still in school. It's a little weird to see Filipino conditions set up next to US conditions, though and then to think how much we Americans complain! But, everything is...

  6. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here's a quote to remember: Man cannot fish with broken arms, ruptured spleen and dislocated hip received from drunk driver who hit him - with no insurance - as he is walking to bus stop in morning...

  8. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    As in attacking people who need healthcare, but who don't have insurance because they've made bad choices? It is my opinion the biggest problem with people these days is there are so many people who...

  9. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well, I accidentally hit the "thanks" button, instead of the "quote" button. You can be sure I did not mean to thank you for this post. I meant to ask you how sick people made bad choices. Sure,...

  10. Universal Health Care... what would this mean...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to nurseyNJNYC's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I don't know the answers to all of your questions, but I do have a suspicion people have a tendency to get sick and injured whether they have insurance, or not. The difference would be made in the...

  11. Fibromyalgia

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    If I was only "offended" before, I must say I am flabbergasted by your post. I have done more than read one article on fibromyalgia. The articles I've posted ARE about the RESEARCH and the findings...

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Did you read the article I posted? Here is an abstract from another: Here is some information about the pregabalin (Lyrica) that I mentioned in my previous post: Many people who have fibromyalgia...

  14. Fibromyalgia

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    Patients with fibromyalgia have elevated Substance P in the spinal fluid and decreased levels of serotonin which causes an increased sensitivity to pain - along with a severe sleep-disorder. The FDA...

  16. Managing symptoms for a �good death�

    Miss Chybil RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    LOL, req_read, your quotes have me in stitches! "Virtual reality is real?" LOL! I love it. And the world is a "very real illusion." That's a masterpiece! I have a question for you... If I'm the...

  17. Managing symptoms for a �good death�

    Miss Chybil RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Thank you all for your heartfelt answers to my questions. I believe Sharona is right. Each death is individual and a highly personal experience. It's the last thing you get to do in this realm....

  18. Managing symptoms for a �good death�

    Miss Chybil RN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am surprised to find this thread at a moment when I have been contemplating, for myself, what constitutes a good death. I recently read the Dalai Lama's book "How to Practice." In it, he discusses...

  20. Fibromyalgia

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    For some reason I can't edit my previous post so I'm just going to add this here. Here is a nice article for those who want to know more about fibromyalgia, the abnormalities in the spinal fluid of...

  21. Fibromyalgia

    Miss Chybil RN replied to veetach's topic in Emergency

    What I find simply amazing is people in the health care field who are oblivious to the debilitating pain suffered by others. For all those who happen to "believe in" fibromyalgia, I have a little...

  23. Quick CNA Question

    Miss Chybil RN posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I'm starting a CNA class next week. I'm wondering, once I complete the class, will I have to wait to take the test and get certified before an employer will hire me? And... how long does it take to...

  24. Quick CNA Question

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks, Dave and Erica! Erica, I can schedule my test before I'm finished with the class? Do you know what's the earliest I can schedule it? I'm sure I'll find out all the answers to my questions on...

  25. Quick CNA Question

    Miss Chybil RN replied to Miss Chybil RN's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Thanks, David. That's exactly the information I was looking for. I didn't know, if anyone would hire you while you waited to take the exam, or not. I already have my fingerprint card. Is that the...
