  1. about lab book

    JohnnysGirl replied to irenefly99's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    well... depends. Ask your instructor if the last edition of the lab manual that you will be using would suffice for the class. My class has it posted that we can use either the 11th or 10th edition of...

  2. Rate My Professor

    JohnnysGirl replied to BenevolentOne's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I have found the scores to be accurate for the instructors I have taken. (community college) Most are good with a few bad ones. Some comments for teachers I came accross were: "always late" and "don't...

  3. Help on understanding

    JohnnysGirl replied to iamhere's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I can see this being true. I am not in Nursing school yet, but I have started to read Charting: Made Incredibly Easy. I was able to come to the same answer as other posters: answer A. It made the most...

  4. Giving a gift to a patient??

    JohnnysGirl replied to EllenDeeRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    As a patient, I had recieved a gift from a doctor. I would think it would be

  5. Things to get out of the way NOW if you are starting in the Spring

    JohnnysGirl replied to AtomicWoman's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Anyone know how current the vaccinations need to be? For instance - would getting them in elementary school count? Or do they need to be updated/recent?

  6. Pre-Requisits for pre-requsits???

    JohnnysGirl replied to gentlegiver's topic in General Nursing

    I had to do the same thing - take chemistry before the other sciences. I just knocked out other classes that didn't need pre-reques. I think intermediate algebra before chem. is rediculous. Here is...

  7. Vultures

    JohnnysGirl replied to icyounurse's topic in General Nursing

    If patients are picking up their meds from the pharmacy, I'm pretty sure they just read the pamphlet that comes with the drug. It really doesn't take that long. I mean - isn't it a good idea to make...

  8. Family Doesn't Want Patient To Know?

    JohnnysGirl replied to missjennmb's topic in General Nursing

    I just can't believe this. I get personally upset about this because it happened with me when I was diagnosed with ALL when I was 18. My immediate AND extended family all agreed not to tell me my...

  9. Microbiology - Fall 2008

    JohnnysGirl replied to PreRN Katie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like to join the study group as well. My class starts on September 2nd. I've spent some time with the Microbiology coloring book which has helped me get an idea of what I am in for. I have an...

  10. UHC thread CLOSED Whaaaa! It was a great thread!

    JohnnysGirl replied to I love my cat!'s topic in General Nursing

    My mom has been using the word "snarky" for as long as I can remember. She's not in healthcare. I've always kinda liked the sound of

  11. Is it too late for me?

    JohnnysGirl replied to Kimba819's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What a self-absorbed thing for your friend to say! Instead of giving you an inside look to what you will be in for, she brings you down and says you aren't as smart as she! What a turn-off! People who...

  12. Editions of books

    JohnnysGirl replied to nebrgirl's topic in General Nursing

    Usually at college campus libraries, they have a copy of the textbook you will be using in their reference collection. You can not check (or take) it out of the library, but you can compare the...

  13. Just watched "Hopkins" and I have a question!

    JohnnysGirl replied to glamgalRN's topic in General Nursing

    OK, ok,... I was trying to find this show last night on t.v. and couldn't! Can someone PLEASE tell me when this show is on and what station? I thought it was 8-9 central on CBS. How come I can't find...

  14. On the other side

    JohnnysGirl replied to SunnyAndrsn's topic in General Nursing

    I can empythize with you deeply. Your family has a rough road ahead, but it's good to remain positive. I would like to give you a bit of hope from a personal experience. I had A.L.L. a few months...

  15. Medical assistant with a problem

    JohnnysGirl replied to airforcewife2000's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps when you introduce yourself to patients, you can educate them a little bit on your educational background or qualifications? Such as: "Hi. My name is _____, and I am your/the Certified Medical...

  16. New student nurse concerned about A and P

    JohnnysGirl replied to jallen5's topic in General Nursing

    I took A&P both 1 and 2. I also own the book you speak of. My answer would be NO - you aren't required to know it in the detail. It's a nice book to have for reference, but just as other posters...

  17. Working full-time, doing pre reqs and having a 2 year old?!

    JohnnysGirl replied to LAURAASHLEY2006's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It is possible. I am a single mother to a 3 year old. Last semester I worked full time and took 6 units. It helped to stay organized and plan out what I needed for the next day. I never felt like I...

  18. a question - when nurses can't get your blood - is this common?

    JohnnysGirl replied to Sand Cat's topic in General Nursing

    I was figuring I didn't see any harm in it till you posted this. I am not a user, but have had many many blood draws and IV's over the years for treatment of Leukemia. I had my treatment 10 or so...

  19. bone marrow test??

    JohnnysGirl replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    I was an in-patient at the hospital, and was pre-medicatd. Perhaps that was the difference. I also went through childbirth, which in my experience was far far far worse. I had no idea they did bone...

  20. bone marrow test??

    JohnnysGirl replied to racing-mom4's topic in General Nursing

    well, if she does end up having the procedure, at least I can tell you from personal experience that it wasn't very painful - at all. I had the procedure done twice. I was 18 at the time and it was to...

  21. Are these procedures so bad?

    JohnnysGirl replied to shelikesmorningglori's topic in General Nursing

    I can give you the point of view from a patient, since I have had both procedures done. As far is it being painful, etc. - it isn't that bad. I would prefer not to have it done again. The first time I...

  22. Need advice

    JohnnysGirl replied to fUsi0n86's topic in General Nursing

    I've taken all those classes except for Micro which I will be taking next semester. I agree that you may want to swap Micro with intro to chem. Chem will help with both A&P and Micro. My...

  23. Best Ways to Keep Alert?

    JohnnysGirl replied to DesertRoseAZ's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    About a year ago I used to go off of 4-5 hours of sleep, riding my bike 20 min 2x a day for 5 days and was eating healthier than I am now. The difference: I now eat fast food, get no exercise and...

  24. Are you an introvert or extrovert?

    JohnnysGirl replied to jessi1106's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Introvert. INFP to be

  25. Personal Hygiene...

    JohnnysGirl replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

    No edit feature for me so I just wanted to add that, while I do not condone lack of hygiene, I can understand why people will be less inclined to do so in the hospital. I do agree that a warm bath...
