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...

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.

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...

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...

Thanks! I did not realize that the thread I created yesterday still existed. Sorry, I am new to this. :)

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...

Thanks. I have been searching for a credible source for quite some time. No sooner did I post this thread and I found one!

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...

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...

I need some help!! I had a complex patient that I am attempting to do a brief care plan on. My instructor wants 2 nursing diagnoses. My patient presented with Acute MI, with a hx of previous MI and severe LV dysfunction. My pt. developed HIT while in...

These folks will be charged five dollars per paycheck. In 2009 employees will submit to cholesterol, weight, and b/p checks, if they have "issues" in these areas they will pay as well. http://www.theindychannel.com/station/13556088/detail.html

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...

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...

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...

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...

Any of you have any experience with the IUPUC LPN to RN program? I am applying in the next few weeks and becoming very curious about the program. Anyone know the average GPA of accepted students and how many get accepted? Any info that you know wo...

Did anyone apply to the LPN to RN program through IU Columbus? Does anyone have any experience with the IU Columbus ASN program? If so I have a few questions about the program.. Thanks

Hey, I am hoping to begin transition from LPN to RN this summer and I am curious what/ if anything I should be doing to prepare myself. I have been a LPN for 9 years so I have been out of the "nursing school" mode for quite some time. Any advice or ...

The thread may be old but the topic is obviously relevant. I think everyone who has ever taken a NCLEX exam has been stressed out about the results. Good Luck to you all :)

This is probably a silly question but what do you mean they go by credit hours?? I am on the southwest side of Indianapolis :)

Hey, I am applying to the LPN to RN program very shortly and much to my surprise I am required to do an essay addressing what attracted me to nursing and what my nursing carreer goals are.. Anyone have any experience with these kinds of essays? I am...

Hey- I took the class you are taking and had the same instructor. I got an A in the class and with hard work and dedication and a few pointers from me I am sure you can to! PM me :)

Hi, I took anatomy at IUPUI, but never took it at Ivy Tech so I am not sure how to compare it. I know to apply to nursing school through IU even if you take A&P 1 and 2 you still have to take physiology through IU. Good Luck :)
