I agree. My husband asked me if it made a person flatulent when the commercials first came on. All drugs should be descriptive of what they DO, like Glucagon and Flomax, IMHO. :)

I've only been working for three shifts, but I've already had a patient call me into his room to ask if I'd listen to something. I went in there thinking he wanted me to listen to his heart, but turns out he wanted me to listen to his flatulence. Af...

Sadly, I'm a fecal attractor also. I call my scrubs "poojamas". I just graduated in May and have only worked three days so far at my new job, but on all three of those days someone was asked to take off because the census was low. On the first day,...

The cheapest I've found them is on uniformsandscrubs.com. If you buy more than 6 items you get free shipping. If you buy more than 12 you get a discount. Plus use discount code "NurseZone" for 10% off the entire order.

http://www3.niaid.nih.gov/news/qa/h1n1pregnanttrials.htm they're still asking for pregnant women to enroll for the study. notice also when the clinical trial began and how many pregnant women each site is testing (only 20). http://www.fda.gov/downloa...

I was given a handout from the FDA that says they didn't KNOW the side effects the H1N1 vaccine would have on a fetus. They also added that they didn't know if the vaccine could cause future fertility problems. I'm finding it so strange that people ...

I couldn't agree more. Consistently throughout Nursing school I've been told that I need to protect my patients' autonomy. Now that I'm sticking up for my own, they're trying to shut me down.

I've been called a conspiracy theorists over refusing a mandatory H1N1 vaccine, and the funny thing is, if I were TRULY thinking of a conspiracy it would be this: Let all the "sheeple" people get the vaccine, and kill the rest with the swine flu. Th...

That's awesome. I remember it as Left for Lower and Right for largeR but it's the same thing and it WORKS!!

Hi all, I have to take the TEAS exam tomorrow, and I was wondering if anyone knows if it's better to skip a question I don't know or should I try to guess? I didn't know if it would affect the scoring since some tests don't count unanswered questions...

Oh, the actual test is only 170 questions? That's not too bad!

If you take the test on the computer, does it tell you right after you submit an answer if you were right or wrong? Or do you have to wait until the end of the test to know your score?

Yeah, I have never been a big watch-wearer, but I know I need to get one soon anyway. That's exactly what I was thinking...why do I need to know about how long it would take for the sound of lightning to hit my ears to be a nurse?!! I have one more q...

Ah, thank you! I figured it was probably something like that because I remember one girl telling me that she thinks she did poorly on the test because she ran out of time on the math and hadn't answered a lot of the questions. I don't have a watch, ...

hi everybody! i am thinking about taking a very difficult semester starting in january so i can get all of my gen ed courses out of the way. if i do that i will qualify (if i do well on the teas entrance exam) to start the accelerated nursing progr...

I go to NWACC as well. I'm really enjoying all of my classes this semester, and you're right, HG&D does take a lot of reading. I have Micro this summer and then I'm done with my gen ed courses (YaY!). There have been over 200 applicants for th...

i live in bentonville and both my children go to school here. it's a wonderful place to live and even though i've lived in other states (colorado), i always considered this "home" for sure.

Yeah, instead of getting through nursing school in 15 months, it will take 22. I figure it's probably better to learn everything slowly anyway. I felt a lot of pressure to get it done sooner (pressure from myself, not anyone else), but now that the...

Thanks Dabuggy! Very useful info there and I think all of those would work for me. I'm definitely an "audio" type learner.

i had to drop micro unfortunately. the chair of the science department actually contacted me and said that a&p i&ii are prerequisites for micro, so i couldn't take them together. it threw me out of the running for the accelerated program, ...

SebagoLaurel, I really can't get anyone else to clean for my mom. It's a long story, but it'll be my job. I just looked at the Spring semester again and I could take Microbiology on Tuesday and Thursday mornings and move my computer class to MWF. ...

i bet everyone on this message board would agree that *some* grades are more "earned" than others. one of my lowest grades ever (and thankfully it wasn't one i had to transfer to go into nursing school) was a "c" in western civilization. the teacher...

i'm glad to see someone else is taking a heavy course load! for the spring semester i have a tentative schedule of anatomy and physiology i & ii (the condensed, harder course. a&p i the first 8 weeks and a&p ii the second 8 weeks), micr...

the entrance exam i have to take next march is called the "teas" exam (everybody here jokes that it's a tease because if you don't pass it, you don't get into nursing school). you can buy study guides to prepare for it and it looks pretty basic. it...

They allow scratch pads though, right?
