  1. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    First Terri, now the Pope do you think God is trying to send us some sort of message? Did everyone hear that the county has refused to allow any witnesses to the autopsy? The powerful protect the...

  2. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    By the way the facility in question is a magnet hospital and is considered one of the very best in the

  3. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    1. One, we are not talking about my wife, but one of her friends who failed the exam. 2. I'm not saying that the hospital has a legal obligation to do squat (although one might imagine that the...

  4. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Here's and example of what stinks about the NCLEX. I usually score higher on the NCLEX questions (Kaplan Prestest) than does my wife. However, I just missed H/A and C/O on a test!!! She would never...

  5. What's the deal with Fentanyl acute or chronic pain?

    Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

    Our Potter and Perry nursing text and my Davis drug guide talk about how Fentanyl is used for chronic, but not acute pain. However, my wife who works on an acute care floor at Clarion routinely gives...

  6. Vaccines and autoimmune disorders

    Roland replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    I'll have to recheck but I am fairly certain that the Hib and Varicella vaccines use human foetus derived cells (although now that I think about it maybe the Varicella uses chicken

  7. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    So what makes one Guardian Ad Litem's report so authoritative I actually served as a GAL the very year that I graduated from high school in an alleged sexual abuse case (actually I quit three weeks...

  8. Why are Hospitals so darn mean when someone fails the NCLEX?

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Why coudn't she do the same things that she did as a grad nurse? All I'm saying is give her at least one more chance to pass the test before turning her life upside down. Also, I find it ironic that...

  9. Vaccines and autoimmune disorders

    Roland replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    Note, that I also have an ethical problem with some vaccines that use cells obtained from aborted fetuses to develop the

  10. Vaccines and autoimmune disorders

    Roland replied to Maisie's topic in General Nursing

    No one is more paranoid about vaccines than am I. I wouldn't even let my son be vaccinated for four years. I read every book I could on the subject including one that was over 2000 pages long by...

  11. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    I will give Michael S. one thing he wasn't motivated by money. At http://www.glennbeck.com there was a drive to raise money to give pledge to Mr. Schiavo if he would give up custody of Terri to her...

  12. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    and maybe he is a heartless bastard that wanted to take Terri's last few minutes on Earth to further torture her by forbidding her parents to be present. How can Terri rest in peace if Michael did...

  13. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Here is what I consider to be the evidence that Michael Schivavo abused his wife: 1. There was a bone scan which conclusively showed a history of multiple, previous fractures and traumas. 2....

  14. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    Yes it should be about Terri. A woman who was likely first physically, abused by her husband to the point that she was brain damaged. Then that same man was allowed to slowly murder her while the...

  15. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland posted a topic in General Nursing

    1. Why don't they give you your preliminary results as soon as the test is over? Certainly, the computer "knows" whether or not you have passed or failed as soon as the test is over. So many people...

  16. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Okay, I will concede that my rhetoric was a bit overblown. I was trying to respond to my personal observation that so many people who take the NCLEX are left with a sense of dismay, and or oblivion...

  17. My friend thinks she failed the NCLEX and is devastated!

    Roland posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    If she fails then her pay goes from $20.00 to $10.00 per hour, she loses her $2,500 bonus and she will likely lose her house and possibly custody of her kids. She finished the test in two hours with...

  18. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I agree that the "old" way of waiting ten to twelve weeks after undergoing multi-day testing was wrong. Then again so was slavery and the internment of Japanese Americans during WWII. The point of...

  19. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I have no problem with waiting or having patience however I content that the powerful often tend to disregard or ignore the feelings of the less powerful. I view much of the bureaucratic...

  20. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    I realize that the vast majority of test takers answer about 50% of the questions correctly. However, my point was that there is nothing intrinsic in the examination that requires this be the case...

  21. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    To answer the question about what would happen if someone answered every question correctly they would still have to answer 75 questions (15 of which would not count since they are "sample"...

  22. Two things about the NCLEX that I don't understand.

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    The soonest the computer can shut off is at 75 questions. For the computer to shut off before 265 questions it must determine with a 95% confidence level that you have either passed or failed the...

  23. My friend thinks she failed the NCLEX and is devastated!

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yes, but did the people that failed at 75 questions think that their test was really hard? My point is that IF you feel the test was hard, and had 75 questions you probably didn't fail. That's...

  24. My friend thinks she failed the NCLEX and is devastated!

    Roland replied to Roland's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Yea, she passed her name was posted on the State Board Web site today. Here's a good question. Have you ever known anyone who failed the NCLEX that had the test stop at 75 questions, and who felt...

  25. Artificial feeding-Terri Schiavo

    Roland replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    The parents did make such a petition alleging that Michael was an unfit guardian and it was summarily denied by Judge Greer. Judge Greer has made virtually every decision regarding the Terr's care....
