  1. what happens if your teacher takes off a ?

    justme1972 replied to jackie102's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    1 point is alot to me. My first semester, I made a B by one point. My second semester, I MISSED an A by one point. On both, it boiled down to one test question...I used to just let them go, pick your...

  2. Preemies and Knitted/Crocheted Hats

    justme1972 replied to KEK1984's topic in General Nursing

    At the NICU where my children were, they put a "prayer quit" over top of each isolette the day the baby is born, and it's sent home with the child. They attach a tag giving the name of the quilters...

  3. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Thank you! My meeting with the Dean went extremely well. I took all of the work that I do, showed her exactly what I do to prepare for the exams. I did this b/c I am sure alot of people claim that...

  4. Doing some personal research...wanted to know if a school nurse could help?

    justme1972 posted a topic in School

    Question #1: I need to identify the purpose of the following immunizations...for some reason, an internet search proved futile: DT DTzP5 IPV 3 OPV 4 Question #2: If the series of shots has been...

  5. Vent..Cheating Students..and my bad test grade!!!

    justme1972 replied to ~FutureNurse~'s topic in General Students

    ....and you are not reporting this why? Integrity starts in class. Suspecting that they are cheating is one thing...I wouldn't report someone for that...but if you KNOW that they are cheating, then...

  6. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Thanks...I have an appointment with the Dean tomorrow morning at

  7. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    The problem is, we are getting zero direction on what to study. We have begged and pleaded as a class for them to help us but it falls on deaf ears. I have went over the exams with them each time I...

  8. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Until I started this semester, I have either got an A or a B in all of my nursing courses and A's in all of my nursing pre-reqs with the exception of AP I, where I got a B..I got an A in APII. This...

  9. MASLOW'S HIERARCHY examples and contraindications

    justme1972 replied to vadee's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Just remember that underneath that Maslow's triangle there is an imaginary "additional" line below the whole thing that is LIFE or DEATH. In other words, if the "safety" factor is a life or death...

  10. What is the law on this....

    justme1972 replied to short1978's topic in General Nursing

    A store, with the vehicle running and the windows down? Heck yes I would call. However, I have been guilty on the rare occasion that I have had no choice but to stop at a pay-inside gas...

  11. HIPPA Violation?

    justme1972 replied to AnytownUSA's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, and it can be easily proven b/c most IT depts at hospitals do keep track of it and records of it. However, if you are talking about pulling a file off a shelf...no way to prove that unless...

  12. Struggling with elective terminations of pregnancy

    justme1972 replied to GoBabyGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Well, I would say that it depends on how much the OP is faced with it. If it's a routine issue at her facility, then of course, that is going to put a hardship on the other staff if she has to "pass...

  13. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    justme1972 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Exactly. Frankly, I don't see how the hospital can refuse to allow Mom to NOT choose her birth plan. It all boils down to medically necessary...the fact that a doctor wants to go home early and the...

  14. I'm Considering Excelsior to finish my RN...any experts on them?

    justme1972 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    As I have posted this week....I withdrew from my 3rd semester of an ADN program. I have very good grades in my other classes. I have completed the following: AP I and AP II Psychology I Psychology II...

  15. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    justme1972 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    You have hit the nail on the head....the problem is your facility. The hospital system that owns just about everything around in my area, which is huge, will allow a birthplan...in fact, it's a...

  16. I'm Considering Excelsior to finish my RN...any experts on them?

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in Online Distance Learning

    The state I currently live in does not accept Excelsior, however, the state that we plan on moving to after graduation, does...as that is where I would apply to take my NCLEX. I have talked to my...

  17. Seriously?!

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

    Ask them to quote you the statute b/c I would wager it doesn't exist. That is why you need to talk to someone other than the $8 an hour office worker.....who probably doesn't have anything more than a...

  18. Seriously?!

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

    Talk to someone else there...like THE registrar. Asking for a high school diploma when you can prove a BA is an oxymoron. Your college would have verified that when you attended, otherwise you never...

  19. Struggling with elective terminations of pregnancy

    justme1972 replied to GoBabyGo's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know that this thread is not an abortion debate, but I agree, I could not participate in late term abortions regardless of the reason. I firmly believe in a woman's right to choose, but with...

  20. Do you think midwife deliveries are less safe than doctor deliveries?

    justme1972 replied to slippery_seal's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think midwives are a great resource and they are very valuable. However, I am one of those folks that do not believe in home deliveries. Home deliveries are perfectly safe...as long as nothing...

  21. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    I agree!. I use allnurses as my study break...I always have the computer in front of me when I'm reading b/c if I need to look up a medical term or need something explained differently, it's a very...

  22. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Thanks Steve! You have always given me such great advice. I sat down with my twins watching a movie last night on TV with some popcorn and soda...which they love b/c soda is a rare treat for them....

  23. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Verified. I actually inquired about the program at the University before the one at the CC. When I set up an appointment with the Director of the Nursing program, she told me that they only let in 20...

  24. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Eric...thank you...I really and truly appreciate it. The reason that I dropped the class, is all we get is a "W" on my transcript. I only have until the end of this month to drop or else it's an "F"...

  25. My RN venture ended today.

    justme1972 replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    She told me to put everything in writing, but that is "code" for, "It will make you feel better, but will probably go to the circular file once it gets here." The last 2 instructors we have had have...
