I know I should contact an attorney regarding this but have no experience because I'm only 22 and brother is much younger and we've never dealt with these kind of situations before. I guess I just wanted opinions from you guys and suggestions from fellow nurses. Thanks everyone.

Hello everyone, This is off-topic but I need help! Help a fellow Nurse! And if this is in the wrong topic, please let me know because I tried searching and couldn't find one. So, the store is that my brother sold a car, the release of liability and the title was signed and turned into DMV. The potential repairs and cosmetic work were discussed with the buyer briefly. The next day, the buyer came back stating that the mechanic said it was "illegal" to drive "due to safety reasons" Now he wants my brother to pay HALF of the repair expenses. He threatened that if we don't pay half, he will bring in his lawyer into this case. What can we do in this case? The car was sold for very cheap and after paying half the expense the car will be practically free!

I am a nursing student and would like to know the best way to be prepared on a medical/telemetry floor. What books are good to review before going onto this floor? What nursing skills should I review and master? what are the significant Do's/don'ts? Thank you! and have a good day!

Does anyone here work at the VA hospital in long beach or know anything about it? How is it working there? Pros and cons?

can the high WBC count have something directly related to the MI? such as infiltration into the necrotic tissue perhaps?

I don't know if I have ADD/ADHD or not but I can relate to what all you guys are saying. Recently I've been getting really annoyed because I just can't seem to focus. I find that I am slower in getting my work done and I'm usually the last ones to finish exams. I space out a lot in lectures and I have trouble studying. Sometimes it takes me HOURS to study a chapter where it takes others hardly even one hour. I do noticed that I space out like every other paragraph when I read and sometimes I would have to read a paragraph multiple times before I can actually understand it. It feels like only some of the words are registering in my brain or maybe it's because I'm not completely focused (it's really tough for me to focus). I've always thought that I was having some kind of thought blocking process. So what made you guys go in to check up with your physician? Do you guys think I should have this checked out to see if I really have ADD/ADHD? I'm actually doing pretty well in my nursing courses, but I truly feel that I am different from others and that I have a disadvantage sometimes . Thanks for letting me share. EDIT: I also want to mention that I CANNOT sit still during lectures or when I'm studying. I tend to move and reposition myself like literally every 5-10 minutes. ahhhhh!

Thank you to all!

I need a little help for a project. I am having trouble researching about how different cultures view the nursing profession. What are their image of nursing compared to many other various cultures? I am having a rough start and any help is appreciated guys. Thanks!

Thanks! ^^ any other ideas regarding Nurses' image?

Hello Nurses! I'm a student nurse and I need some input for a class presentation. My topic is The Public Image of Professional Nursing. Reason why I'm posting this here is because I'm sure most of you here have been in the "Nursing World" for quite some time and may know how the image of nursing is viewed. So far, I'm thinking about starting off with: 1. History of Nursing (e.g. many years ago, it was viewed as witchcraft, etc) 2. Media's View (e.g. from news, T.V. series or movies like Meet the Focker where the main character was a nurse, etc) 3. Views from other health professionals (e.g. how doctors view nurses) 4. Cultural view (including how female/male view nursing and perhaps even other countries in the world.) 5. Solve Problem (e.g. prob: men who nurses are view as "feminine or Gay"; solution: get more men involve..etc) I'm not telling you guys to do my research, but to merely give any ideas associated with this topic since you guys have more experience in the nursing world than I do. I just started Nursing school last week. YAY!!!! :balloons: Thanks to any help in advance! Allnurses.com rules!!

Thank you very much. Other inputs will be appreciated as well :)

Hopefully the results of the TB test will be negative and the titer positive. Thanks for the help!

Turns out I need to have a recent TB skin test and a blood test to show that I am immune to varicella before entering my Nursing program and doing clinicals. My question is what if the results turned out to be positive? will I still be able to enter the program? another question is how long does the blood test for varicella titer takes? I need it to be done in one week and was wondering how long the complete testing takes. I'm in the process of scheduling an appointment with my doctor. THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Hi guys, I tried searching the forums but didn't find anything about angioprim. I was just wondering if any of you guys have heard about this or know of anyone who has taken this? Here's the site to this and information: http://www.angioprim.com/ The purpose of this medication claims to clear up plaque blockage in the coronary artery and reduces the risk of heart attacks. I was considering this for my mother, but I don't think it's credible enough. This was the first time I heard about this and if it really worked this well, then it should be popular worldwide right? Any opinions? I'm just really curious. That is all. Mods, if this is inappropriate please delete. Thanks
