    I'm just a nursing studentl, but in clinicals last semester one of our assigned patients had a blood glucose of 6! And my classmate wondered why he wouldn't get up to take his PO meds!?

    What other careers did you consider before nursing?

    manna replied to SNURSEG_2B's topic in General Nursing

    Worked as a glorified secretary for years. Originally intended to get some sort of degree I could "fall back" on if things didn't work out - wanted to go to med school. Applied to x-ray tech school...

    Advice on Student Externship in NICU?

    manna replied to TristateRN's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    The externship programs around here have pretty strict requirements about where applications should be sent, what paperwork should be included, etc. I think you'd be doing yourself a disservice by...

    Single in nursing school

    manna replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Students

    Nursing school can be tough on a relationship anyway - I wouldn't worry about it. Have fun! :) My BSN program is just the opposite - most everyone is young and unattached... out of 50 of us, I'd...

    how much do medical assistants make?

    manna replied to Purple Princess's topic in Nursing Career

    It probably depends on what area of the country you live in. Here, I'm not even aware of any MAs, period. I don't really see what would be the benefit of you working towards an MA, if you're already...

    "Anesthesia Nightmares" on Discovery Channel

    manna replied to Mana_Tangata's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I'm guessing this is the re-run, if so - I watched it a while back. I would think that this "anesthesia awareness" is relatively rare, and makes you wonder what sort of frightful image this is...

    manna replied to nanali's topic in General Nursing

    I know of several people who, after graduating the BSN program I'm currently attending, have decided to go on to med school. Most of them did not realize they wanted to be physicians until after...

    Is there a store somewhere you can go and try different models? Electronic scope sounds like it might be a good option for you. Good luck!

    manna replied to linkay77's topic in General Students

    We did for our first summer nursing courses (BSN program) - although we called it a teaching-learning project. Ours was on fire safety for preschoolers.

    how does your nursing school deal with pregnant nursing students?

    manna replied to HappyNurse2005's topic in General Students

    On a case by case basis. Seems like you're a little bit offended by something that might be rather simple. You're almost done, why not just get the note and not worry about it? It's probably a means...

    ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    manna replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    Going to the 4-year university has actually wound up to be LESS expensive for me, even though tuition is higher. Thankfully, they're very generous with scholarship money!

    ADN vs BSN My daughter and I having a heated Discussion!

    manna replied to NOIRLINCOLN's topic in General Students

    I can understand that - but I still don't agree with a BSN is the best choice for a pre-med. If she wants med school, BSN pre-reqs often don't meet the requirements that a pre-med
