  1. Med Calc Exam

    PennyLane replied to fahamesha's topic in General Nursing

    We too had to get a 90%, over 3 attempts. I got 100% on the first attempt and personally would be upset with myself for getting anything less than that. Ours was similar to what Babs described. We...

  3. How are Dansko's suppose to Fit

    PennyLane replied to justjenn's topic in General Nursing

    West Grove, PA http://dansko.know-where.com/dansko/cgi/site?site=01032&address= As I recall it was about 45 mins to 1 hour north of Baltimore. Maybe even a bit

  4. How are Dansko's suppose to Fit

    PennyLane replied to justjenn's topic in General Nursing

    I've been to the outlet, and plan to go back when I get out of school and start earning some $$. My only complaint is that I have such a "popular" shoe size there was hardly any variety for me. They...

  5. How are Dansko's suppose to Fit

    PennyLane replied to justjenn's topic in General Nursing

    I love my Danskos, and yes, they should be loose. I prefer a loose shoe so they feel great to me. The bottoms aren't really squishy. They are much more sturdy than a tennis shoe and so I think would...

  6. Can't give a friend an aspirin at home?

    PennyLane posted a topic in General Students

    On our first day of school this week my Fundamentals prof told us that from this point on we are held to nursing standards and that if a friend is at our house complaining of a headache we can't offer...

    PennyLane replied to PennyLane's topic in General Students

    Thanks all!

  8. Can't give a friend an aspirin at home?

    PennyLane replied to PennyLane's topic in General Students

    I know, of course my friend wouldn't complain to anyone that I had given her an aspirin. But it seems so strange that they expect us just to say--contact your doctor. Can't anyone go into a drugstore...

  9. Inflamed uvula?

    PennyLane replied to NICU_Nurse's topic in General Nursing

    This happens to my now-ex-boyfriend from time-to-time. Usually b/c he sleeps with his mouth open. It goes away on its own for

  10. smoking students

    PennyLane replied to vickynurse's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    It was the same thing when I waited tables. It was a very busy restaurant. Many of the smokers ignored their tables to go out back to smoke. I smoked then, too, but tried not to take too many breaks....

  11. So discouraged over A&P, ready to give up nursing plans

    PennyLane replied to evi's topic in General Students

    evi, I took a Zoology class during my first college career, and found it pretty difficult. I'd say if you managed a degree in that field, you should be able to take on A&P. The prof is most likely...

  12. Questions about male/female tension in the nursing environment

    PennyLane replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    whack = bad, but not "bad" as in good. It's not really a new

    PennyLane replied to Mr_D's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, you really did tame down your original

  14. any nurses with crohn's/IBD?

    PennyLane replied to agent's topic in General Nursing

    P_RN I have GERD too. It sucks. Am thinking about

  15. any nurses with crohn's/IBD?

    PennyLane replied to agent's topic in General Nursing

    A guy I used to work with was fired from a job (non-hospital, non-nursing) b/c they said he went to the bathroom too much. I have a small bladder or something and go probably 2x as much as other...

  16. a good medical excuse

    PennyLane replied to rdtyu7's topic in General Students

    Agreed, Emerald. But at least she/he's fairly benign...so far.

  17. a good medical excuse

    PennyLane replied to rdtyu7's topic in General Students

    Oh man, this is too funny. I think you should just talk to your professor and explain your

  18. skipping class, a hard habit to break

    PennyLane replied to PlanetCaroline's topic in General Students

    I skipped way too many classes while getting my first degree. My grades definitely suffered. Now I severely stress out if I'm even 5 minutes late for class. You can add me to the Geek club,

  19. The dreaded panty line.......

    PennyLane replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    My school makes us wear this half-dress/half-tunic top that goes down to about mid-thigh (over white pants). I could be wearing garter belts and black lace thongs or who knows what else, and no one...

  20. I hate microbiology

    PennyLane replied to twarlik's topic in General Students

    Todd - I hated Micro too. I hated it so much the first time I took it that I never went to class and got a D. For the sake of my ego I retook it even though I didn't need to for my (first) major, and...

  21. Gyn, tampon ?

    PennyLane replied to nolenurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I prefer regular, cardboard app type, ob, or organic all-cotton ones. The plastic ones aren't biodegradable. If I were really crunchy, I'd use the washable cotton pads like one girl I know uses. Can...

  22. How hard is college level Chemistry?

    PennyLane replied to marilynmom's topic in General Students

    I agree having it in high school helps. I took two years of chem in high school (cause I liked it...shh, don't tell anyone), and when I got to college, I didn't learn a thing new in Chem. In other...

  23. wellbutrin side effects

    PennyLane replied to NurseJessica's topic in General Nursing

    I switched from Paxil to Wellbutrin, too, Jessica. I do not have the (complete) loss of libido that I had with Paxil. Nor do I have the annoying muscle twitches Paxil gave me. I have noticed a...

  25. Cranial nerve mnemonics

    PennyLane replied to RNsweetie's topic in General Students

    For some reason it's not taking my image, and it's less than 100 KB. I'm trying again: weird...I hit submit reply and nothing happens. I have an image of the face with the #s on it from my lab book....
