  1. Nursing school vs. Nursing

    vashtee replied to heavenly14313's topic in General Nursing

    Most of the nurses I have asked this question tell me that although they are often very stressed while at work, they go home and get to do whatever they want, whereas the student has to continue...

  2. What are some US cities where you do NOT need a car at all to live / work?

    vashtee replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    San Fransisco, New York, Boston, Portand

  3. Underwear and white scrubs?

    vashtee replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    Tacky? Hmm... it wasn't all that long ago that it was considered "professional" to tuck your shirt in. In fact, my husband refuses to go out without tucking his shirt in because he thinks it looks...

  4. Underwear and white scrubs?

    vashtee replied to LaLaEm4's topic in General Students

    What's wrong with tucking a scrub top into scrub pants? I don't, but can't see why it would be a

  5. Egg and Liver

    vashtee replied to NPRoseMona's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the liver, but the cholesterol can cause cardiovascuar

  6. The "bully" nurse

    vashtee replied to MikeyBSN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I overheard someone on Good Morning America this a.m. saying that her poll finds nurses to be the meanest of all professionals. This wasn't coming from the patients, but rather

  7. Need help finding a GOOD Lab Book...

    vashtee replied to lmh2brn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yup... I use Mosby's, too. It's

  8. Easter is not a holiday?????

    vashtee replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love to get paid for Rosh Hashana or Passover. I don't believe I'd take any amount of pay to work on Yom Kippur, though. It should be easy enough to schedule someone else on that day, at least...

  9. Easter is not a holiday?????

    vashtee replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hanukkah is actually considered a minor holiday. Apparently, unlike Eastern (sic).

  10. Ever have a patient comment on his lack of size?

    vashtee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    As a student, I wonder what would be so wrong with simply telling the poor guy that he looks "normal" to you? He's probably lived with such anxiety over this for so long, it might be very meaningful...

  11. Anyone ever taken a Science class online

    vashtee replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How can you do dissections from a computer? That was the best part of either

  12. Anyone ever taken a Science class online

    vashtee replied to jmiarn1029's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Physiology online (we had to go in for lab, though). I did well, but I don't recommend it. It was really hard. In fact, it was so hard, when I was offered the opportunity to start RN classes 2...

  13. Problem w/RN's & CT's on clinical day

    vashtee replied to Corsair41's topic in Male Nursing Students

    5? I only count 2. I guess everyone has a different

  14. Problem w/RN's & CT's on clinical day

    vashtee replied to Corsair41's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't mind doing AM care (if I have time). When I am in clinicals, I do EVERYTHING for my patients that I am allowed to do. I don't know what the nurses are doing - I never really see much of them...

  15. Nurse abuses own child

    vashtee replied to Marvie's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe there is some question as to the truthfulness of the child. Anyway, I don't see why dad doesn't just replace all the stuff the kid left behind. A bunch of "stuff" isn't worth engaging over,...

  16. Her perfume stinks!!

    vashtee replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    I can take strong smells; they don't cause me to sneeze. Perfume

  17. My son was denied health insurance!!!!!

    vashtee replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Yikes, this thread scares me! I have a 15 year old with epilepsy. Right now, of course, she is covered by our family insurance. What is going to happen when she is too old to be covered by our...

  18. Her perfume stinks!!

    vashtee replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Although I don't like the smell of cigarette smoke on clothing, I have to admit it is merely unpleasant, but doesn't make me sneeze. For that reason, I'd rather be cooped up with a smoker than a...

  19. Stethoscopes I Can Actually Hear From??

    vashtee replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I was actually directing my question to the original poster. I can often hear lung sounds much better on the back than on the chest, especially if a person has a lot of fatty tissue/large

    vashtee replied to pagandeva2000's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Are you having problems on the posterior side,

  21. Her perfume stinks!!

    vashtee replied to DebRN06's topic in General Nursing

    Ugh. I can't stand strong scents. They make me sneeze. I am thinking perhaps people who do this somehow have decreased ability to smell themselves, so they pile on more

  22. Major Academic Problems Of Nursing Students

    vashtee replied to akalingwanku's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, but s/he wrote "major academic problems experienced by the nursing students", which makes me think she is asking about student perpectives. Who

  23. Major Academic Problems Of Nursing Students

    vashtee replied to akalingwanku's topic in General Nursing

    Not sure if you were intending for answers to come from a student's perspective, but in my observation, time management is a bigger problem than academics. The students that continue to struggle...

  24. east cost vs west coast

    vashtee replied to jennyjuniper's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know which is more difficult to get into, but I waited 2 1/2 years to get into my program (in

  25. Only had 8 days orientation!

    vashtee replied to Little Panda RN's topic in Psychiatric

    How much exercise are these kids getting? I personally think that poorly exercised children behave badly. And maybe they need a better selection of privileges to
