  1. Bathroom hygiene -you gotta be kidding me!!

    justme1972 replied to Flare's topic in School

    I would wonder if that would warrant a social services consult. The reason why, is the child's health is at risk b/c he obviously doesn't wipe whenever he's away from his mother and that would make...

  2. Wearing all white

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

    That all depends on how you wear it, and they were taught the tricks of the trade back in the day in nursing school. My aunts used to fold up a small piece of thin cardboard (they always kept sheets...

  4. Capping Ceremony

    justme1972 replied to WhoNeedsaShot?'s topic in General Nursing

    Capping and pinning ceremonies are very, very individualized per school. If it's 5 weeks away, they will have a

  5. Vent! Inconsiderate None NS Students!

    justme1972 replied to drosagain's topic in General Students

    Ok...I can tell you now, that your instructor, for lack of a better word, is a whimp. Classrooms, regardless if there are 20 people or 200, can be controlled. Expectations need to be made clear from...

  6. Wearing all white

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

    i wholeheartedly disagree with you. an employee reflects on the employer..it's a job, not a social event. so things like "autonomy" doesn't even enter my mind when i think of a dress code for any...

  7. Wearing all white

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

    No job is worth quitting over the color of a uniform. No job. The problem with "today's" scrubs is that they are made poorly. My aunts who wore all white, I remember their uniforms distinctly (and...

  8. Do you use your Laptop in class?

    justme1972 replied to Scooter5's topic in General Students

    No one uses one in our class....the tap, tap, tap would drive me

  9. Retaking Classes With Bad Grades

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

    Your overall GPA will be extremely important when applying to BSN and graduate programs. GPA is a very permanent thing...once you have earned it and graduated...you can't exactly go back and change...

  10. Grading scale

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

    That's what I'm trying to explain...the grade change is for the new incoming class, it doesn't apply to yours since you are already mid-program. The instructor didn't find a "loophole"...if she is...

  11. Nurses Right to Know HIV/AIDS Positive Status

    justme1972 replied to stdntograd06's topic in Occupational Health

    My thought is that MRSA, VRE, C.diff are all curable diseases, and HIV/AIDS falls under ther American's with Disabilities Act. I see it both ways...if everyone agrees that this patient is exhibiting...

  12. fluid and electrolytes

    justme1972 replied to 918runnr's topic in General Nursing

    To me, the information wasn't difficult to understand, it was just that there was a lot to learn. Here is where you need to start...start with the following electrolytes. Sodium Potassium Calcium...

  13. Does carry a personal nursing journal...

    justme1972 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    People need to think about things like this when scare tactics are used to intimidate nurses into NOT taking measures to defend themselves. Here is a fact: You will never, be legally forced to provide...

  14. Does carry a personal nursing journal...

    justme1972 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    If you choose to keep a journal, I wouldn't carry it to work or tell anyone that you have it. If you lose it at work that could be potentially very

  15. Grading scale

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

    I just read a couple of your old posts....you are getting ready to graduate from a BSN program, I'm assuming, next year? That is why your instructor doesn't have to implement the "new" grading system...

  16. Grading scale

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

    I think many of your classmates are under the misguided impression that a college instructor is somehow an independent employee and doesn't have superiors to report to. How long someone has been at a...

  17. Grading scale

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

    Your instructor is trying to fight a battle she isn't going to win that could ultimately cost her their job. If the department sets the criteria, then all instructors must use that. Unless she has it...

  18. Grading scale

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

  19. The College Network-collecting sales tax

    justme1972 replied to CSLee3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Well, it's a nursing site, so you will probably not run into an attorney on here. That is why someone needs to call the State and get in touch with the revenue department. A company paying taxes vs...

  20. The College Network-collecting sales tax

    justme1972 replied to CSLee3's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I would call the State of Texas if I were you and report it. Most states have tax laws that say you can charge tax on merchandise...but not a

  21. Intramuscular injections- drawing back

    justme1972 replied to minnimouse's topic in General Nursing

    I have heard this also, however, I cannot imagine not aspirating when it literally takes a second, and you can save a ton of potential damage to the patient. Can you imagine being the patient who had...

  22. how many of you go to the grocery store after working with patients?

    justme1972 replied to ilmbg's topic in General Nursing

    You are exposed to it anyway, whether you know it or not. Do you really think field workers that need to pee or poop, in some of the produce, run across the field and wash their hands after they go?...

  23. restraints?

    justme1972 replied to fuzzywuzzy's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Any obstruction to free movement is considered a restraint. Putting up all 4 bedrails is a restraint...however, we all know that a determined patient can crawl over them...however, it's still a...

  24. 4.0 gpa a myth?

    justme1972 replied to tea_leaf's topic in Texas Nursing

    Don't confuse "requirement" and "competitive". There is a huge difference. Most of the nursing schools that I have seen, when you read the handbook, they usually have between a 2.0 and a 2.7 GPA...

  25. How difficult is the GRE?

    justme1972 posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am curious of a few opinions on how difficult the exam is and if a few people wouldn't mind sharing what score they made. The only math I have had in the last 10 years has been nursing math and I'm...
