  1. Food Addiction?

    bekindtokittens replied to TheCommuter's topic in Nurses Recovery

    In July, I dieted and lost 11 pounds. I restricted my calories and thought of nothing but food the entire time. This isn't my first, or fifth, or twentieth time I've tried to lose weight... I fell...

  2. Anatomy and Cadavers

    bekindtokittens replied to Diver Dude's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We had a cadaver for A&P I and II. He was presented to the class already dissected and we were tested on several systems using the cadaver. It was an amazing learning experience, and for me, not...

  3. Grievance leads to physical conditions?!

    bekindtokittens replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    Sissie is absolutely adorable! I've never had a dog, but my husband has, and always mini dachshunds. He loves them, and I see a weiner-dog in my future. My icon is one of my cats. She's being so...

  4. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    bekindtokittens replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I find it irritating. You can bet if I ask the instructor a question, I've already looked for the answer in my textbooks...I've googled it...I've probably searched allnurses for it... So no, I don't...

  5. Grievance leads to physical conditions?!

    bekindtokittens replied to sissiesmama's topic in General Nursing

    I can understand how you feel. I don't have dogs, but cats. My childhood cat had to be put down at age 18. I refused to go to the vet, and my mom had to go alone. I was so upset and selfish. I...

  6. about being harassed as a male

    bekindtokittens replied to Darklighter's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Holy cow. Good for you, standing up for yourself and not condoning their behavior. I'm glad your boss listened to you and took your complaints seriously. And don't feel bad about the OP manager's...

  7. Blood transfusion question

    bekindtokittens replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Here is a small blurb one of my med/surg books gives on the subject. "Generally, two hours is a good time frame to transfuse each unit of packed cells. If it must transfuse more slowly because of the...

  8. I'm struggling to decide

    bekindtokittens replied to PennyNickelDime_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Do you feel like you haven't studied enough for this second time? What I mean is, do you have a study plan for this extra time that you feel would be beneficial? It sounds like you've already studied...

  9. Just need to vent again, considering not going back to nursing school at all (V LONG)

    bekindtokittens replied to Comfortably_Numb's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Get out and go live with your uncle. You're making excuses for your mom's completely inappropriate and abusive behavior. Just because she's your mom doesn't mean that she's RIGHT about everything....

    bekindtokittens replied to s_le2006's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the update, so glad to hear things are going

  11. Pathophysiology book recommendation?

    bekindtokittens replied to AtomicWoman's topic in General Students

    For my class, I also used Understanding Pathophysiology, by Heuther and McCance, 3rd Ed. I really like how it's organized. I'm glad I didn't sell it after I was done with the class because I use it...

  12. MEOW! Catty nursing students

    bekindtokittens replied to OldShoesRock's topic in General Students

    I've been in a situation like this. It's easy to get sucked in. Just hold your head high and keep on going to school. It will blow over. No, they won't ever stop talking about you, but they'd be...

  13. Funny essay by an ER doc.

    bekindtokittens posted a topic in Emergency

    i originally posted a link to an essay in here, but it had some curse words in it. i reconsidered because i wasn't sure if it was tos worthy, so i deleted it. sorry for the post. and i can't get...

  14. Something doesn't feel right

    bekindtokittens replied to RealityChek's topic in Correctional

    This situation sounds a lot like an article I just read for my Psych nursing class, called Downing the Duck. Your situation, unfortunately, does sound like a

  15. Have any of us "older" students applied for and received a scholarship?

    bekindtokittens replied to karen230's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had given up on ever receiving any type of grant or scholarship, so I stopped applying. I'm in my thirties, no kids, middle class, just above all the income restrictions. So I would put everything...

  16. Perfectionist? Nervous Nilly? Worrier?

    bekindtokittens replied to OregonGal's topic in General Nursing

    I could have written your post, except I chickened out on getting a CNA summer job! I'm regretting it now that school is starting up again, but just like you, it would have taken almost too long to...

  17. Funny essay by an ER doc.

    bekindtokittens replied to bekindtokittens's topic in Emergency

    Okay, I'm re-posting it. If you are offended by a few curse words, don't read this.

  18. co worker with attendance issues

    bekindtokittens replied to Ms.RN's topic in Nursing Career

    When she calls in, does she leave you short-handed? And if so, why would you tell that other employer when you could be rid of an unreliable co-worker? Man I sound selfish

  19. Please Help!!!!

    bekindtokittens replied to KIMMY03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Yay, your stethoscope works! I sat on my living room floor for what seemed like forever, looking at those stupid little pictures and trying to figure out what was wrong with my stethoscope. I'm just...

  20. Please Help!!!!

    bekindtokittens replied to KIMMY03's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I had the same problem when I started out. Someone gave me a Littman when I started nursing school. Maybe you need to turn the diaphragm. Hold onto the little metal stem that is connected to the...

  21. Eeeeevil nurse stories

    bekindtokittens replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    Your post was so funny I peed a little. I know people like this too, and it's so frustrating trying to be "politically correct" about it. And I love South Park. :chuckle I don't get any "evil nurse"...

  22. Head hunger

    bekindtokittens replied to Silverdragon102's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I have eaten nothing but crap today. And yesterday. And so on... It's such a struggle every day to eat a balanced diet within caloric limits. My brain gets tired thinking about and fighting with...

  23. Why Dogs Make the Best Friends

    bekindtokittens replied to HM2VikingRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just had to resurrect this thread. Female nursing student here, and obvious cat lover. My cats greet me at the door every time I walk in, even if I've been gone 5 minutes. They come running if I am...

  24. Wow....

    bekindtokittens replied to meow2_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Aww, poor kitty! And more stress you just didn't need! But I'm glad to hear your kitty is doing fine. I'm thinking of you and sending good

    bekindtokittens replied to meow2_RN's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I just had to pop into this thread because I love your name! When I am feeling stressed before a test, I think about my cats. Doing cat things. Like lounging in the sun, winding between my...
