1. Is ectopic pregnancy the leading cause of women's infertility?

   lpn2rnstudent replied to lpn2rnstudent's topic in General Students

   I emailed her with the page numbers from my textbook with the same information I posted previously. Her reply was that I did not have sufficient evidence to prove my point, yet as somewhat of a contradiction she stated that our textbook says that ect...

   lpn2rnstudent replied to lpn2rnstudent's topic in General Students

   I have examined this issue in depth and there is really no way to get around the fact that I should not have gotten the question wrong. The answer to the question is false, there is just no way to get around it. Our tests during nursing school shoul...

   lpn2rnstudent replied to lpn2rnstudent's topic in General Students

   Yeah the question was worded "Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal death and the leading cause of female infertility" You are absolutely correct. Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal death in the first trimester. But it is...

   Thanks everyone for your replies and good advice. I think what bothers me the most is that I am spending a great deal of money for this program to be taught accurate information and how my professor can defend her inaccurate data on the exam is just...

   Update to the thread yesterday about a test question on my OB exam. The question was a True or False question that said: Ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal death and the leading cause of female infertility. I chose false. I got the qu...

   I took an exam today and there was a true false question worded something like 'ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of maternal death and the leading cause of infertility'. I chose false. I got the question wrong.

9. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

   lpn2rnstudent replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

   I have seen many people with visitors of the same sex, but I never have the time or desire to attempt to figure out who may be someone's sibling, spouse, or significant other. I can think of numerous times when a patient has taken the initiative in i...

10. Gay Boomers and nursing attitudes

    lpn2rnstudent replied to woody62's topic in General Nursing

    What does a homosexual patient of an ALF or LTC facility require that a heterosexual patient does not? I am thinking through all of my years as a LPN and honestly I cannot think of one patient telling me their sexual orientation. If everyone trea...

12. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    lpn2rnstudent replied to jill48's topic in Safety

    You are absolutely right. This is not a black and white issue. I spoke up because I felt it was important for some of you to understand why I would feel uncomfortable working around an addict. Of course everyone is different and just because some nur...

13. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    lpn2rnstudent replied to jill48's topic in Safety

    I would say that a 12 year old left in a vegetative state due to the actions of an impaired physician is absolutely relevant to the discussion of addiction. When discussing the addiction of practicing nurses, patient safety is probably what all of us...

14. Nurses Who Are Drug Addicts

    lpn2rnstudent replied to jill48's topic in Safety

    I have read through this entire thread. One thing that stuck out to me is the total lack of empathy towards the 12 year old that was left in a vegetative state due to the actions of an impaired physician. The reality is that relapse can occur at any...

15. Hospital to charge employees who smoke

    lpn2rnstudent replied to lpn2rnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    I had always wanted to work at Methodist Hospital, but it will not happen now. There are many wonderful hospitals in Indianapolis so I can be very picky when choosing my future employer. This is a massive step down on a very slippery slope. Right now...
