    Should I take Chem, API, and Micro in same semester?

    Hi, I'm screwed

    FireStarterRN replied to Snowii's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I totally agree. When I did my prereqs, anatomy was a separate course and a prereq for physiology. Chemistry was a prereq for micro. Taking them all together was suicide. Time to regroup and learn to...

    How much personal info you do share with a patient?

    FireStarterRN replied to christieb01's topic in General Nursing

    PepperLady- If anyone ever related personal info about me to a patient I would consider that a serious breech of acceptable conduct. I would request my manager to do some general employee education or...

    How much personal info you do share with a patient?

    FireStarterRN replied to christieb01's topic in General Nursing

    If you are young and pretty and the inquirer is male, then the wise course is to avoid anything personal. If the asker of the questions is a harmless little old lady, then a little harmless chit chat...

    What Defines an Indian?

    FireStarterRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I have quite a bit of English ancestry, greater the 50%. That doesn't give me citizenship rights in the UK. The woman I mentioned had a minuscule amount of Indian ancestry, something which many...

    FireStarterRN replied to Magsulfate's topic in Nurses Recovery

    I've read that drug using nurses are, as a rule, awesome nurses whom everyone admires. Sorry you have to deal with this. I hope she gets

    What Defines an Indian?

    FireStarterRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    My 9 year old patient was raped and required surgery

    Is This Ethical?

    FireStarterRN replied to WorriedinPA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'd like to know why she or her husband can't pick up the phone and talk to the mother of these kids like adults? Ask her "The kids said that they'd gotten some vaccines while visiting, is there...

    Is This Ethical?

    FireStarterRN replied to WorriedinPA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Ah, but the OP asked if it were "ethical" not if it were safe. Clearly she is not merely interested in 'the best interests of the children' but in uncovering some more dirt on her

    Is This Ethical?

    FireStarterRN replied to WorriedinPA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Your post oozes of disdain for your children's bio mom, very sad. She may not be perfect but she obviously cares for her children and was trying to help them in some way. There are always two sides to...

    Is This Ethical?

    FireStarterRN replied to WorriedinPA's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I'll bet this Mom feels bad enough not having primary custody of her kids. The lines of communication obviously are not very open if she and stepmom aren't collaberating regarding the kids. My advise...

    Some threads get pretty long and not all the comments are riveting. Yes, people respond to the original post and the problem it presents without reading every single solitary post. I don't think...

    Mid-Winter temptation to drink

    FireStarterRN posted a topic in Nurses Recovery

    Ok, it's December 28th, these are the darkest days of the year. I really don't want to take up drinking wine again. This was always the time of the year when I would up my intake, no doubt in response...
