  2. Maternal death

    BSNtobe2009 replied to mugwump's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a pre-nursing student, this was an incredibly insightful post, and it's something that you don't think about until the opportunity presents itself. It's easy to forget that young, healthy women...

  4. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, they sure do. A huge amount of pre-med students are actually going through on scholarships for undergrad. I'm not talking about doctors still in residency...I'm talking about ones during their...

  5. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Now you know why people die in rural hospitals...it's not that the staff isn't competent, it's just that the population doesn't allow for the funding of certain professions to be there 24/7. I agree...

  6. They did a c-section without anesthesia

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Mrs.S's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If I was that mother, I have to admit, I would want an ethical committee to review that case. Even in sue happy America (yet I still beleive that doctor's are not God's and even if someone dies...

  7. Accuracy of Emergency Nurses in Assessment of Patients' Pain???

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Dave ARNP's topic in Pain Management

    I totally agree. My blood pressure stays at a "good low" and always has. I have went a few times in my life into the ER in excrutiating levels of pain to where I was sitting in the ER...and I...

  8. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    Nope...DOCTOR'S were the major reason why you can't bankrupt student loans anymore. What was happening, was that doctor's were graduating with on average $200,000 in debt...and once they got a job,...

  9. Took my NCLEX for 4th time

    BSNtobe2009 replied to nithya1's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Thank God! That's the way it should be. Review classes should be available, but I think the person that takes the test should be able to assess their own work and probably are the best judge of what...

  10. Manual BM Removal

    BSNtobe2009 replied to banditrn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Hey, I'm not a nurse, but I'm sure other RN's that work in LTC can testify, both my Mom and Granda used to tell me that the elderly very often become obsessed with their bowel movements..when they...

  11. Would you go to the ER for this?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    The Urgent Cares in my area, the whole reason I go, is when I tell them I don't have insurance, they only charge me about $60 and sometimes give me sample meds so I don't have to get a prescription...

  12. Would you go to the ER for this?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Spritenurse1210's topic in General Nursing

    I'm the most skeptical person on the planet when it comes to quality of care...but I would feel perfectly comfortable going to Urgent care for just about anything except breathing issues/chest...

  13. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    BSNtobe2009 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    BSNtobe2009 replied to rkim525's topic in General Nursing

    See to me, $20K sounds reasonable...that is no different than buying a

  15. Living off student loans smart idea or not?

    BSNtobe2009 replied to rkim525's topic in General Nursing

    You won't have the opportunity to do that at every hospital or even most of them. Don't always assume that OT is available. A hospital is like any other business...they don't give OT unless they need...

  16. Childbirth in Italy

    BSNtobe2009 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General World

    Yes, you have to be a NATURAL BORN citizen to be President in the United States. Natural Born doesn't necessarily mean you were born physically in the USA...you just had to be a US Citizen at birth....

    BSNtobe2009 replied to user9876's topic in General Nursing

    BSNtobe2009 replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, you and NP wannabe are going to make me cry! I just figured I wasn't alone, and wanted to start a thread to give others the opportunity to tell their stories

  19. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    BSNtobe2009 replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. I don't think a nurse or a doctor is any more likely to be stalked than the general population. A last name doesn't matter either, and considering my first name is EXTREMELY common and my...

  20. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    BSNtobe2009 replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    Yup, that's exactly

  21. **Alert**Our Right to Privacy as nurses???

    BSNtobe2009 replied to bchboy's topic in General Nursing

    BSNtobe2009 replied to HvnSntRN's topic in Ob/Gyn
