:uhoh21: I'm not sure how to handle this. Today a friend of mine told me that a classmate of ours was fishing for information regarding my sexual orientation. This male student was asking inappropriate questions. It makes me uncomfortable that he fee...

Well lets see..YOU SAW THE TOPIC and clicked on it. If you don't want to read about personal lifestyles..THEN DON'T! I had a personal problem in my nursing class with a student. I wanted opinions and I got them. I think your post is offensive. I...

wow..i can't believe so many people responded. I'm glad for all the viewpoints. I just want to make it clear. I am not ashamed of being gay. I just don't think I need to let everyone in my class know. The classmate hasn't brought up the issue ag...

I'm sorry if this thread came off in an elementary school way lol...If this had ocurred in any other setting, I would know exactly what to say. I just know how small our program is and I don't want to be defined by this or treated differently by pro...

LOL:D I never thought of that. I am older than the majority of my classmates...maybe this was some type of childish attempt of...who knows what..anyway..thanks for your POV

This post makes me nervous. As a student, there have been times when the weather was awful and without a car I rely on bus transportation. I hope that if I work in a snowy area that I have these options....but what If I don't? I'm def going to ask...

As a gay nursing student, I'm trying to think how I would handle this situation. If I were being treated poorly at work, I suppose I would try to get out of the situation. Any chance this fellow can move to a larger city within the state he currently...

As someone who knows about expensive health care in the US (9000/treatment x 6/year)...do anything you can to qualify for medicaid. Can you sell the three cars and purchase one? Try calling 1-800-986-baby..or finding someone that deals with WIC. T...

Dear Ms. Doe: I am currently attending the Community College of xxxxxx County’s nursing program. I anticipate graduation in May of 2007, and desire to continue my nursing education at XXXXXX College in the fall of 2007. My current grade point ave...

I think we should acknowledge that students and new nurses and vets can all offer something valuable. As a student, I'm being taught the most up-to-date research based information. But a vet nurse has been on the job and can offer his/her experienc...

We've always been told to remove earrings b/c they were dangerous (ie a patient could rip our lobe while reaching). IMHO, they are unprofessional. Also, jewelry can harbor bacteria. We were told to remove all jewelry. Wedding bands are allowed bu...

So..I am just wondering if anyone is designing research or particpating in it with a faculty member...I'm a sophomore and I want to do research this summer and try to publish.

A lot of PDA cell phones work as a PDA only. You turn the cell phone off and the PDA still functions....

i really want to buy a new pup. i'm in my second semester of nursing courses. however i live alone and would be the only one caring for the puppy. i want to get a yorkie or a yorkiepoo. my parents fear i won't be able to handle it and that the pu...

I'm just trying to say that we can all agree that there is a difference between the training and scope of practice of RNs and MAs but that we all want to care for the patient. The patient needs the Doc, the Nurse, the NP..but he or she also needs in...

My first patient died while I was observing in the ER. He had a massive MI. His stomach was full of air and he was blue and bloated. I was sort of in shock and I cried when I got home and realized that I witnessed this man's last moments. Is it ...

I'm not a MA. But let me tell you. I go to a very busy GI doc's office. The nurses are great. But the MA there RUNS THE OFFICE. She schedules, gets authorizations, helps patients get insurance and drug coverage. She's great! I'm not saying an ...

Next semester will be hell. Nursing 213, 214, 236 Nutrition Christianity Micro Anatomy (Online) Studying for Sociology CLEP and humanities CLEP...ugh

Thats a great idea! I'm going to start carrying extra pens.

I loved my first clinical experience. Here are some tips: 1. Drive to the site before the first clinical. This will prevent you from getting lost. 2. Press your uniform! You'd be surprised that many students arrived looking like slobs. BAD first i...

I had something happen in clinicals and I wasn't sure how to handle it. The Nurse had a great deal of experience, but she interfered with my IM injection. First she yelled at me for using the scoop and sweep technique after I drew up the medication...

I know this is a bit off topic of patients seeking pain meds..BUT I was wondering if anyone has an experience with alternative ways to manage it like accupuncture? I've tried different oils and they seem to help sometimes..but mostly my CP requires ...

I'm not sure that every patient should be labeled as a drug seeker. There are diseases where the patient is in intense pain i.e. fibromyalgia. At one time FM wasn't considered a disease. Perhaps the patient is in real pain. I just read about a pa...

I just got a littman cardiology III and I had a nameplate engraved..

I also have severe Crohn's. I've been on immunosepresive drugs and IV remicade. Luckily, I'm in remission at this point. But, I'm glad to hear that others in Nursing have this question. Sometimes I wonder what will happen if I'm not able to provi...
