  1. I suck

    HeatherB,CST replied to mel101478's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, and my 9th grade son uses a TI 83 and Holy Cow!! That thing is like a little mini computer! He plays games and draws pictures, and darn near everything except math on it LOL But he's a total...

  2. I suck

    HeatherB,CST replied to mel101478's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so sorry. *hugs* I have not had Statistics, but I hear it is challenging to say the least. Are there any additional resources you could use, like does your textbook have a study guide or a...

  3. OR hair advice - please do not laugh! (long-ish)

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Operating Room

    Good point, Marie. I havent had long hair in so long, I've forgotten about all the engineering that goes into

  4. OR hair advice - please do not laugh! (long-ish)

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Operating Room

    I'm sorry, Suesquatch, I did not word that clearly. I was thinking the reverse - my big fat rebellious hair contaminating the field. Thanks to you both for the

  5. male nurse haircut rules

    HeatherB,CST replied to albert6jed's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Exactly - once you are working. In school, it's best to follow the rules and let it go. There is a young doc on one of those ED reality shows who wears a medium length ponytail, and he looks very...

  7. OR hair advice - please do not laugh! (long-ish)

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Operating Room

    LOL Looking like crap is fine, it will look lousy under a cap at any length. I am concerned about the logistics of keeping myself all put together during a long procedure. If those caps work, then...

  8. OR hair advice - please do not laugh! (long-ish)

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Operating Room

    Possibly. It's the most fuzzy/uncontrollable (imagine trying to contain a small tumbleweed in a rubber band and scrub hat) when it's half-dry, unless I coat it with a silicone-type serum. My main...

  9. OR hair advice - please do not laugh! (long-ish)

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Operating Room

    Do you think the fact that it stays wet in a bun/braid all day will be a problem? Microbe-wise I mean...it really does smell musty after 18 hrs in a wet bun, even if it's squeaky-clean to begin with....

  10. Currently a Surg Tech, but just passed NCLEX-PN

    HeatherB,CST replied to mamamiah's topic in Operating Room

    Cool, thanks! I am in a 2yr ST program right now, but I want to start collecting info about my future options. I am in NC as well! Where did you go to ST and PN school? You can PM me if you'd...

  11. Currently a Surg Tech, but just passed NCLEX-PN

    HeatherB,CST replied to mamamiah's topic in Operating Room

    I don't have an answer to your question, but congratulations on the NCLEX-PN! Did you have a ST 2yr degree to start with, or did you do a diploma ST program? How long was LPN school on top of

  12. Chem 100/101

    HeatherB,CST replied to graceland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is so friggin COOL!!! Brains are awesome. I am struggling a bit in Economics, and I'm so going to try this

  13. Jealous much?

    HeatherB,CST posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am so frustrated with some of my classmates...If anyone knows the best way to handle this, please help. I am taking pre-reqs this semester, and I am doing really well. Like I am so busy kicking a**...

  14. Jealous much?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is too funny! If we have to swap and proofread again, I may be tempted to say just that! And yes, they actually kicked our stuff! In that infuriating passive-agressive way that looks like...

  15. I set the curve on my Chem test!!!

    HeatherB,CST replied to LanaBanana's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That is very, very cool. Great feeling, huh? Congratulations! I don't have any instructors who curve. Maybe it's a schoolwide thing, I dunno. My economics professor is doing a cool thing,...

  16. Chem 100/101

    HeatherB,CST replied to graceland's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Aside from the obvious reasons we need chemistry, it's also good practice learning about stuff you can't SEE. Atoms, electrons, etc...it's tricky to visualize all the things they...

  17. Jealous much?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, I am so sorry. That just sucks. Honestly, I think his "real life" angle is a line of BS he fed you, so he wouldn't have to deal with the lazy students. (He probably had no idea how to get them to...

  18. Jealous much?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    S.A.- your PM box is full, could you clear out some space so I can reply?

  19. Jealous much?

    HeatherB,CST replied to HeatherB,CST's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks you all, I know it's not the worst problem in the world, but it sure is sucking all the joy out of this new adventure for me. I'm getting sick of having to defend myself for being "smart". I...

  20. TV in dementia unit

    HeatherB,CST replied to lilybean's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Oh, and don't forget...PBS reruns the Lawrence Welk Show! My grandparents never miss it on Saturday evenings. Plus all the oldsters I know can't get enough of the Larry King, for some reason

  21. How do you pronounce,....

    HeatherB,CST replied to momthenRN's topic in Patient Medications

    Siri, I agree with your pronunciation. I remember seeing a cough syrup TV ad years ago in which it was pronounced: gwy'-ah-fin-EH-sin. I'm sure that has prompted many a

  22. How many females are "peeking" in this forum?

    HeatherB,CST replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    I agree with the above poster...you guys really discuss an issue without the cattiness and histrionics that can occur in a mainly female-populated forum. Plus it's inspiring to hear how you cope with...

  23. ?? for long-haired female nurses/student! How do you wear your hair at the hospital?

    HeatherB,CST replied to Athenas83's topic in General Nursing

    OOH OOH I can help you with that one!! I used to be a stylist and sometimes that still comes in handy. Those thin headbands are great, and look good double or tripled up, too. The best ones I've...

  24. Calling All Mothers

    HeatherB,CST replied to rnmomtobe2010's topic in General Nursing

    That's really nice of your hubby to take the kids right after work like that. Mine is too brain-fried after work to do much except eat dinner and unwind a bit. He does, however, take the boys...

  25. Can't let it go!

    HeatherB,CST replied to serendipity123's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well, that's kinda the plan. 2yr ST degree, then work on CFA cert and BS in Biology while I work, then PA school. I live close to a very good medical university with a PA program. The other choice...
