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

    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 ?

    :balloons::balloons:Congratulations!:balloons::balloons:
  3. Have you called off work for a sick pet before?

    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?

    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?

    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. 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...

  9. Visitor from He**

    The orange toenail thing is just wEiRd!
  10. Cursing A Good Samaritan???

    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??

    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!

    Your paranoia will keep you from messing
  13. Can a patient fall for a nurse?

    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...

    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

    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...

    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...

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

  22. "I'm an uncertified medical assistant"

    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"

    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?

    ..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...
  25. Healthiest US States

    Woohoo! Texas, holdin' steady at #43!!! I think I live in one of the "fattest" cities,
