    austin heart replied to LButlerRN2007's topic in Cardiac

    If you read her user name, she is a student as well. WHO CARES how she spells stent....That is not what this thread is

  2. What kind of person???

    austin heart replied to bise75's topic in Psychiatric

    Could it be narcissists? Here is a good web site on Narcissistic Personality Disorder

  3. does a previous history of mental illness keep you out of nursing

    austin heart replied to questionscurious's topic in General Nursing

    If I remember correctly I had to answer a question on my license application and renewal application (TX) that asks if you have ever been treated for psychitric disorders. Some one correct me if I am...

  4. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You have to have a moderator change it for you, you can't just do it yourself. OP's original user name had something like New Mom in

  5. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I know that I said that I was not going to post in this thread again but thought it was funny that OP changed her user name to get the mom aspect out of

  6. coumadin error

    austin heart replied to medicarelpn's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I am not saying that the lack of coumadin was the cause of this patients death but......The half life of coumadin is approximately 42 hours but varies widely depending on the individual. Most patients...

  8. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Very well put! Sorry, don't feel that my post was immature in any way. I also don't feel that I am twisting your words. When you say "essentially left alone for up to 4 hours". I don't know of any...

  9. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DianeMyra, here is the quote from her post where she states that. Quote: Originally Posted by future nurse jess Wow, this is getting heated and for my part I really didn't intend it to be. I'm not...

  10. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Sorry, this hits a nerve with me too. If someone does not want to "hear" someone else's opinion they SHOULD NOT ASK for opinions on an online discussion board. I am basing my opinion only on the...

  11. just a question about Texas

    austin heart replied to prinzessdy's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am a proud born and raised Texan. But I can see how for some it may be an aquired taste. I was born in West Texas. HATED it! Hot, dry and not much to do. But now that I am in Austin I can't imagine...

  12. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok then, here is me being harsh again.......The more you post the sadder it sounds for your child. You DID say that you left your child alone for up to 4 hours at a time with a book or in front of the...

  13. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    After reading my post again......I do not want to offend any of the nurses here that needed to return to work full time when their children were young for financial stability. I do find that leaving...

  14. What I am Taking This Summer (Is it too much?)

    austin heart replied to FocusRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I too think that it is too much. Not only because that is a VERY heavy course load for any semester much less summer sessions but...... My son is 4 months old as well and I didn't want to even return...

    austin heart replied to michw2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Mostly Bs and a few Cs. I hated Pedi and OB so that is where I got the Cs,

  16. Is there an ambu bag in your office?

    austin heart replied to laurasc's topic in Ambulatory Care, Clinic

    In most areas calling 911 will get you an ALS team. In our area even the small outlying towns must send one certified medic on the rig along with the EMTs. FYI: If you are going to have a crash cart...

  17. LPN Nclex while in a RN program

    austin heart replied to michw2's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I took the LVN boards while in the RN program and then worked as an LVN while finishing up school. More money than my CNA position :). Sorry, I did not study though. I just went in and took it. Passed...

    austin heart replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Nursing

    My hospital only provides scrubs daily for the OR staff (we don't have and L&D dept). Once a year they give a free set of scrubs at your eval but the rest of them you must purchase from the...

  22. Help! Breastmilk and Breastfeeding questions for the experts

    austin heart replied to gr8tshopper's topic in General Nursing

    Two good sources are linked below. One of those will have a refrigeration/freezing chart. It is OK to freeze breast milk. If your baby only drinks 2 ounces of the 4 ounce bottle it is not safe to save...

  23. how hard is it for a RN to work weekends ONLY in ICU?

    austin heart replied to a_clay's topic in MICU, SICU
