  1. Did anyone watch 20/20 last night? transgendered children

    Soup Turtle replied to allantiques4me's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's sad that there are only "male" and "female" categories in our society. There needs to be an "other" category, as well. People shouldn't have to choose. They should be free to be...

  2. What Was That ?

  3. Have you called off work for a sick pet before?

    Soup Turtle replied to L&DRNJenn's topic in General Nursing

    I would check with the vet about mixing your kitty's food. Usually, you're trying to avoid ingredients and keep the urine acidic when on a urinary diet. It your kitty's eating other foods with his...

  4. Stethoscope?

    Soup Turtle replied to Coco06's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I got a littman classic and it's great. Try the steth on and tap it....if you can hear, buy it. That's what our instructors told us to

  5. Have you called off work for a sick pet before?

    Soup Turtle replied to L&DRNJenn's topic in General Nursing

    If you feel guilty, check with your vet about day hospitalization (or night). We have clients who drop their pets off when they go to work and pick them up when they get off. Even an overnight clinic...

  7. Hello, could anyone help me with my first semester of nursing school?

    Soup Turtle replied to nautica843's topic in General Nursing

    I used to love note cards, too, but they aren't as useful in my first semester of nursing because they focus on details and the test questions focus on a bigger picture. The thing that's been the most...

    Soup Turtle replied to BBFRN's topic in General Nursing

    The orange toenail thing is just wEiRd!

  10. Cursing A Good Samaritan???

    Soup Turtle replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    This makes me mad! Most police are great, but there are a few that need to head strait into early retirement! I've encountered a few first class jerks,

  11. Missing Clincials??

    Soup Turtle replied to jewelsg627's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We were told we could get away with missing one clinical day IF we had a perfect average. There are no make-ups and missing more than one day is an automatic failure. If you have a less than perfect...

  12. Feelings of Impending Doom about Graduation!

    Soup Turtle replied to Annointed_RNStudent's topic in General Students

    Your paranoia will keep you from messing

  13. Can a patient fall for a nurse?

    Soup Turtle replied to Spanky99's topic in General Nursing

    The situation you describe doesn't sound like a "love match" to me! Maybe the nurse should be helping him communicate better with his wife or referring them both to a counselor.

  14. The dissecting thread has me worried...

    Soup Turtle replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had models in anatomy that were layered and came apart. I don't see how a dead cat could have taught me more than the models

  15. Crying when stressed/overwhelmed

    Soup Turtle replied to SillyLilly's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I cry when I'm stressed and frustrated, but there isn't usually one thing that causes it, it builds up. What I've learned to do is MAKE myself cry at an appropriate time to get it out of my system...

  16. The dissecting thread has me worried...

    Soup Turtle replied to couldntbhappier's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think dissecting a frog, pig or cat has any value. It's just disgusting and cruel...especially vivisection! If I were required to dissect anything in any class- I wouldn't! It's all been...

  17. They rescinded my job offer...

    Soup Turtle replied to flashpoint's topic in General Nursing

    That sucks... they should at least tell you what the problem is since they already offered you a

  18. I must be getting old: A rant

    Soup Turtle replied to SharonH, RN's topic in General Nursing

    Ewwww...I'm not a fan of perfume, but the gum thing disgusts

  19. Honestly...Is there still hope for my future???

  22. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Soup Turtle replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm not rolling my eyes at you. I like coming here because I like hearing what you all have to say even when I may not fully agree. ...good points, though....definately things to

  23. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    Soup Turtle replied to Freedom42's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm already proud to be a future RN. I hope I never get to the point where I need to put other people's flaws/shortcomings on a platform to feed my pride. The majority of RNs I encounter at my place...

  24. Please help...How can I handle my professor?

    Soup Turtle replied to toriphile23's topic in General Nursing

    ..but the instructor said no, as in you "should not" take another patient if the student's question was "should i", right? i think the op should have discussed the matter further with the instructor...
