  1. Risk of infection

    justme1972 replied to K os's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I would say Hep A is the right anwer b/c it's transmitted via oral-fecal. Not all nurses are as methodic about handwashing as they could be and you don't necessarily have to change a bedpan to get...

  2. Lawsuit Against The College Network

    justme1972 replied to mdhammons's topic in Online Distance Learning

    True, and too many people think that if you sign a contract you have 3 days to get out of it. Many states do have such laws, however, they apply to door-to-door salesmen where they usually come to...

  3. Nurse manager says you can't refuse iv

    justme1972 replied to paintedbison's topic in Ob/Gyn

    A patient, even though they have signed a consent form, can later RETRACT the consent at any point and time as long as they can make an informed decision (not under drugs, etc...same as when they gave...

  4. Supervisor dissed my pay rate..am I getting ripped off?

    justme1972 replied to 3sodapop's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Depends on where you live. That's pay for a new-grad RN around

  5. List your School Here if they do not Require the GRE's..

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Is that a link or something that you can post? I'm always looking for ones in the mid-Atlantic

  6. New interesting abortion poll

    justme1972 replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    I believe that conception is the start of life. I am pro-choice..however, my support is very limited. To me, if a decision cannot be reached in 3 months gestation time, then the fetus, should have at...

  7. why are you considering nursing school?

    justme1972 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Personal enlightenment, like love, is very, very nice to have around, but I have yet to find a mortgage company, a bank or a utility company that will accept it for payment. $17 is good...but that all...

  8. why are you considering nursing school?

    justme1972 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have a sister that we couldn't talk out of majoring in Sociology. She "loved learning about people and cultures". She was dead and determined, so my father paid for every penny of tuition, and she...

  9. Universities dropping GRE requirement?

    justme1972 replied to SiennaGreen's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I wished a lot more would follow suit. Wake Forest dropped their SAT requirement for high school students because a 10 year study showed that it was a horrible predictor. I too, am looking at schools...

  10. How do you feel about wearing the nursing caps for pinning?

    justme1972 replied to MnemonicFanatic's topic in General Students

    These threads come up over and over again, and here is a question I would like to stand up and present to the students... For your graduation to obtain your degree, did you purchase a robe and...

  11. How to get stool smell off of your hands?

    justme1972 replied to mickjordmoll's topic in General Nursing

    Buy salt...keep it in your bag...work up a paste with a little water. Gets raw fish odor off..should work for

  12. fired

    justme1972 replied to cccc's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I actually agree with Sue on this one. A nurse with 40 years of experience with a clean record...to me, you would have to just short of kill someone to fire them for something like this. If she is...

  13. Do you study from your text books ?

    justme1972 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    I am too detail oriented....for my own good. When I become an NP it will help, but at this level, it is a liability. I was spending too much time focusing on what didn't matter...especially this...

  14. Do you study from your text books ?

    justme1972 replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    At my school, if you read every page, you'll be lucky to finish the reading by the time you have to take another test. The books contain tons of information that is not necessary for nurses to know...

  15. Wearing all white

    justme1972 replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    Landau...what I have discovered is if you go through a large uniform shop and see the whites together, what I do is wear a dark shirt and hold it inside the pant-leg or the shirt...that way you can...

  16. Online Classes

    justme1972 replied to kalley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I personally would find taking statistics very, very difficult online because Math books, in general tend to be very poorly constructed. However, if you are good at Math to start with, then I'm sure...

  17. Cost of electronic charting

    justme1972 replied to abooker's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I will give a "high five" to whoever came up with computerized Charting. The hopsitals around here have recently implemented them across all departments and the nurses love it. What they like the most...

  18. Wearing all white

    justme1972 replied to THAT Nurse.'s topic in General Nursing

    It doesn't become dingy if you know how to take care of it. When nurses used to wear all white, the material that the uniforms were made of were virtually wrinkle free and required little to no...

  19. How do YOU DE-GERM your scrubs?

    justme1972 replied to Mannursemike's topic in General Nursing

    Honestly? That's probably overkill. Look at it this way...if bacteria will wash off your hands, they will wash off your clothes. Hot water, regular detergent, a single rinse, that is all that is...

  20. Dosage Calculation Problems! Stressed!!

    justme1972 replied to adrienne2305's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Don't think anyone is being mean...you'll have to learn how to do these calculations very quickly and it takes practice, practice, practice. At my school, we have an entire class, 3x per week, for a...

  21. I got reprimanded at work for not using a bra !

    justme1972 replied to Kath80's topic in General Nursing

    I have a cousin that was a 'certified bra fitter' for Nordstroms and they actually put them through quite a bit of training to know how to fit someone with the proper undergarment. She has always said...

  22. Constructive Criticism please!

    justme1972 replied to BSNNursingStudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Daytonite rocks when it comes to giving our resources. She is the

  23. Lactation Consultant

    justme1972 replied to KungFuFtr's topic in Men in Nursing

    You would probably be very hard pressed to find one, if one exists at all. Being a lactation consultant is a very intimate thing..you have to actually work with a woman's breast to guide it into the...

  24. How a nurse feels about reporting child abuse

    justme1972 replied to crzynrsn08's topic in General Nursing

    Even a child, who has been beaten and burned...still wants it's mother. That's nature...and it's a sad cruel trick of nature. That is how strong the bond is between mother and child. I know that...

  25. This one is a liability! What should I do?

    justme1972 replied to Dr.Nurse2b's topic in General Students

    I just love how you are trying to "educate" nurses on this board who have been in the profession for 10, 20, 30 years when you aren't even a nurse at all. You are a student...and I really, really...
