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 considering I want to work with babies one day, that d...

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 think you are forgetting this. We started off with a p...

Yes, I sure do. Mainly because you are not a nurse...that's why. You are not a chemical dependency counselor, that is another reason. When you have passed state boards and have the designation after your name, then you STILL can't make that determ...

Ok buddy, your inexperience has shown through in this post. Did I say I showed up to class if I had something to drink the day before? Did I say I showed up to clinical if I had something to drink the day before? See, this is your entire problem.......

We are on the same page. I don't think the OP should be taking care of Bob either and if Bob flunks out, that's Bob's fault. The reason why I am very, very particular on going to the instructors and making an accusation of alcohol dependency, is tha...

Sue, I am sorry for that...I mean, seriously, I really am. However, are you prepared to say that every student that shows up to class smelling of alcohol(not clinical) is an alcoholic? Come on...you are a nurse...do you really, OBJECTIVELY believe th...

The difference I see, is that the OP never stated that the alcohol on the breath was at clinicals. Now, had the OP stated that, then I would 190% agree with you. However, it appears that it's limited to classes, and just because someone has alcohol o...

Well see, here is where the school has the problem. If you don't put the information TO START WITH on the application, and if you cannot be electronically tied to a school via financial aid, then there is no way they can find out. No one is debating...

Both of my twins were around 2 1/2 lbs at 29 weeks, but I saw lots of babies born at 30 and 32 weeks that didn't make it. A 23 weeker...I can't imagine. I was different than probably some mothers. I have always been a realist. I didn't think my bab...

:yeah::yeah:

Why so pessimistic? Maybe it's out in the open so that EVERYONE knows it happened and there is no question that it was all innocent. People that are guilty and doing something wrong like to keep their mouth's shut....that is what I would be more con...

I'll be honest...you might be taking the job just a little bit too seriously.

A binge drinker doesn't equal alcoholic. I'm just saying that before you label someone has having a chemical dependency., you still don't have enough to go by. Do you really think that Bob went home on Thursday and didn't wake up until Sunday? Seriou...

This sounds horrible, but unless you smell alcohol on his breath when he is at clinicals, I would probably keep quiet. The alcohol is doing what it's supposed to...make you not function. If Bob can't function and flunks out, I fail to see how that is...

It's hard to lose something when you never take it out of your house. I also sure as heck wouldn't have my name on it either.

The only way that you won't get caught is: 1. If you never put down at a school that you attended another where you took the classes. 2. If you never received financial aid. There is no "magical" database anywhere in existance that houses informati...

I guess you missed the part of where I said that there doesn't have to be a formal investigation. Do you even know the full scope of what social services does? Social services does a lot more than put parents on the defensive and yank children away a...

Well, I can clearly see that you and your classmates are determined to go on a very focused witch hunt with the teacher and the student as victims and are 100% determined to see both parties hurt, rather than listening to a SINGLE reasonable explanat...

If you are in the "hills" of Virginia, I am assuming you are in the Western or Southwestern part of the state. Most of the organ donations take place through a company out of Knoxville, TN. Call any of the hospitals and find out who they are....the...

Then you already have the answer to your question. A professor isn't going to be dumb enough to admit that in front of all of the students if it was against school policy. "Coming by to get some material" could mean that he had handouts that he had c...

Here is a website that may help you...I wished I had found this in my first semester.... http://www1.us.elsevierhealth.com/MERLIN/Gulanick/Constructor/

A seizure is a medical diagnosis, so you cannot use that. Can you give a short list of what is wrong with your patient? If we have that, we can help you.

I think you and your other classmates are getting ready to get yourselves into some very, very deep hot water. First of all, how do you KNOW she got an A on the exam? Because she said so? Unless you have seen a copy of her transcript, which I guara...

First sorry, for the triple post, But what does the fact of if a student is under or over 21? In every state, you are a legal adult at 18 and can consent to marriage, sex or anything else at 18.

Remember, nurses are in college, not high school. Big difference.
