  1. We dont have to go and review our pts chart the night before clinical...normal???

    vashtee replied to student456's topic in General Nursing

    I *like* being able to pick a patient in advance. This allows us to look for different sorts of patients to work with and seek skills not yet mastered. (If I need to do IM injections, I look for...

  2. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    vashtee replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    Perhaps he is *thinking* of the kids. For a clergy person to insist on trying to save an obviously toxic marriage which may have a permanent and negative effect on children is immoral, in my

  3. Is this unprofessional?

    vashtee replied to Emma123's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree that regular clothing is more appropriate for an interview. You can change into scrubs afterwards in a

  4. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    vashtee replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    I don't know why that should bother you. If a reputable clergy person advises you to leave, it must be bad...They are generally not supportive of breaking up families. Are you looking for support...

  5. I am taking 5 class this fall......

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

    A 10 *month* old? Sorry, but I agree with your husband. That looks like an awful lot to me. I guess you could try it and drop some by the drop deadline if

  6. Need counseling on a life decision

    vashtee replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    If the ADN programs are hard to get into, maybe you can look into an LPN program in Missouri that eventually bridges into an ADN program?? I don't know about the ex-husband thing, but I wouldn't dream...

  7. A&P: Really Hard vs. Just a lot of material

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

    I thought anatomy was really fun and easy (although a lot of memorization), but I found physiology to be difficult. This was probably because I took it online (the first time our school ever offered...

  8. Proper Attire

    vashtee replied to Ekklesia's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I assume because you are thinking of wearing a tie you are male. I do not suggest a tie, because they will get in the way during lab hours. I think no jeans or tennis shoes is a given, and a...

  9. How'd you learn bones & muscles?

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

    I made up little songs using nursery rhyme tunes naming body parts in order, then I'd sing them out loud. It was silly, but my daughter also learned a lot that way. Also, for the cranial nerves, I...

  10. Is It a Bad Idea To Stay in a Bad Marriage Until School Ends?

    vashtee replied to cdietrich404's topic in General Students

    Maybe as an act of good faith, you can get him to agree to remove his name from the bank accounts so he is unable to withdraw money without you knowing about it (in case he has a sudden urge to run to...

  11. How is this possible?

    vashtee replied to Heloisea3's topic in General Nursing

    I am only a student, but am currently studying diabetes. If I had to guess, this is where I'd go: Type I means your beta cells aren't producing insulin. Type II means your cells aren't producing...

  12. What's Boston like?

    vashtee replied to MovingRN's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    Boston is a beautiful city! But, like any city, it is expensive to live downtown. Live in a suburb

  13. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    vashtee replied to Trixxy's topic in Nursing Humor

    I am only posting in this thread so it will be easy for me to find later on. It sure has been a great read!

  14. Anyone graduate from ANTELOPE VALLEY COLLEGE

    vashtee replied to S-Rank's topic in California Nursing

    The Antelope Valley Sheriff station is the busiest with the highest number of crimes reported in Los Angeles County . (My husband works in law enforcement.) If you are moving to the area, I would...

  15. First Impression of a CNA job

    vashtee replied to FinderKeeper's topic in General Nursing

    My mother in law suffered from Alzheimer's. Early on, she KNEW something was wrong, but she didn't know what, and so she was scared and cried a lot. A lot of patients in nursing homes are suffering...

  16. BSN not all its cracked up to be

    vashtee replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Yes, management holds no interest at all for me right now. I thought I'd work a couple of years, and then decide whether or not I wanted to continue on. At the moment, I think I am getting a little...

  17. shoes and uniform question

    vashtee replied to tigress_8207's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Last semester, I wore all-white Nikes (with a light blue "swoosh"), navy pants and a white shirt. I *really* hope this semester's clinical instructor allows me to wear my Nikes again... they are so...

  18. BSN not all its cracked up to be

    vashtee replied to JOLLIEHOLLY's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I was told a BSN was really only important if you wanted to work in management, at least for now since there is a shortage of nurses. I guess when I finish my program and try to enter the workforce,...

  19. How many hours do you study each day?

    vashtee replied to olufemi254's topic in General Students

    Last semester, I think I averaged around 15 hours per week. Some weeks were a little more, and some were a little

  20. "The Jesus Factor"

    vashtee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught that a Christian was simply someone who believes in the divinity of Jesus - nothing more and nothing less. One can be a "good" or "bad" Christian based on their behaviors, but they are...

  21. "The Jesus Factor"

    vashtee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it is about having something against Jesus, but rather

  22. "The Jesus Factor"

    vashtee replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Funny

  23. The Circumcision Discussion

    vashtee replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think so, at least not outside certain individual religious communities, and even then (call me a skeptic) I doubt it. The "right" way to live is a matter of opinion, and not EVERY religion...

  24. The Circumcision Discussion

    vashtee replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes, we can... but *do* we? Not in large numbers, we

  25. The Circumcision Discussion

    vashtee replied to jmspeach's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't think that is the same argument at all. Appendicitis is not a sexually transmitted disease that could be avoided by abstinence. Anyway, I don't have a problem with people who decide against...
