  1. Personal Hygiene...

    JohnnysGirl replied to Michelle123's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where you are coming from with this. About 10 years ago when I was in and out of the hospital undergoing chemotherapy for ALL, washing was not exaclty in the forefront of my mind. I felt...

    JohnnysGirl replied to galenanurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I too, am a single mom who is also a cancer survivor, although finishing up prereques. I have an idea of what it's like. My hat is off to you! Hope you find a safe and happy new

  4. Does anyone know if a neglected child can show similar signs of autism?

    JohnnysGirl replied to jlucas341's topic in General Nursing

    Can neglect lead to autism? Hmm... I've wondered that myself. Wonder if there is any literature out

  5. Spring '08 Grades!!!! Be Proud!!

    JohnnysGirl replied to modelmama07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Glad the semester is over! My only grade posted so far is for Intro to Med Dosage Calcuations. I'm pretty sure about the other two after taking the finals. A&P 2 = A Perspectives on Death and...

  8. Are you almost there? Number of classes left?

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

    Microbiology and Intermediate Algebra in the fall. I can apply in the spring, but have to wait for acceptance for fall 2009 at the earliest. Sigh. I can always start on BSN prereqs while

  9. How much is your pay?

    JohnnysGirl replied to rainbowcak3's topic in General Nursing

    I am not an RN yet, but as far as I can see, wage is somewhat porportioal to cost of living for the area. Not only that, but weather or not there is a "shortage" of RNs. For instance, I have heard...

  10. Does anyone else find themselves doing this...

    JohnnysGirl replied to MrsCaseyRN's topic in General Nursing

    Like others have said, I don't think it's becuase you are a nurse, but rather possibly a reason you became a nurse. I am not a nurse YET, but I find I do things like this when the situation presents...

  11. Grad Student Needs Help

    JohnnysGirl replied to tracelane's topic in General Nursing

    My boyfriend tried to take this survey, but it kept coming up with my results and id number. Does this mean that he needs to use a different computer to take this survey?

  12. RE: Pt. disch. No teaching, No instructions, No nothing!!!

    JohnnysGirl replied to celeste7767's topic in General Nursing

    i didn't see her presenting her story this way. i had taken what she said with the understanding that the times before the 60's and 70's was when it was unsafe to be in a hospital. op said: "21st...

  13. Am I wrong here?

    JohnnysGirl replied to ShayRN's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe I am missing something, but I thought Nursing was a 24-hour job. Why clock in early to get work done that should be done in her original shift time frame. If she clocked in early, shouldn't that...

  14. My A&P Access (Human Anatomy and Physiology)

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

    I am assuming you are referring to the website for the textbook by Marieb. It really IS worth it to get the access. Did you get the CD-ROM with the book? I barely use the book. I just used the site...

  15. Need help understanding atoms

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

    Wow, the way you worded that has cleared up and made sense out of what I have always just taken at face value. You made it all make sense for me.

  16. How long were you on a waitlist?

    JohnnysGirl replied to newbeginnings07's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your mom opens your mail? :omy: Sorry, that strikes me as incredibly invasive. And to not even mention it to you? :jwdrp: Ouch. I feel like crying FOR you. So sorry to hear that. :yldhdbng::hgu:...

  17. What to do while you are waiting

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

    You already have one foot in the door. Good for you! You just graduated, so it sounds like a good plan. Congrats.

  18. How heavily are GPA/TEAS scores weighted?

    JohnnysGirl replied to jelly221,RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As far as I have heard, ADN programs run this way. I am not 100% sure, but I think it is due to keeping state funding for their programs. I'm pretty sure that Universities go by GPA, among other...

  19. What to do while you are waiting

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

    Here is what I plan on doing while I wait, in the order of what I feel is important to me: 1.) Take college classes that interest me and will get me to the next level of Nursing. 2.) Learn Spanish...

  20. Need A & P!

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

    I had no idea it was so difficult to get into A&P in some parts of the country. I live in Southern California and it never fills up until the last moment at my college. It's been like that for at...

  21. Need A & P!

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

    What does "purged" mean in regards to classes? I'm guessing that it might mean the class dissappears? Taken out? No longer available? No longer exists?

  22. Rude remarks by doc with his own kids

    JohnnysGirl replied to Lorie P.'s topic in General Nursing

    About 7 years ago I was in the hospital A LOT! I remember not wanting to see a lot of people while I was there. It just took too much energy. I could not imagine my Doc at the time bringing in any...

  23. Dry, Chapped, Cracked, Burning Hands

    JohnnysGirl replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    Your post is very informative. Thank you. My son is two, so this information is very applicable to my situation. I also was never told not to use the Clobetasol for more than two weeks consecutively....

  24. Redman's Syndrome

    JohnnysGirl replied to hollyberry678's topic in Patient Medications

    I have had Redman's Syndrome when recieving Genomyacin (sp?) back in 2000. I have had Vancomyacin in the past as well, but that wasn't what I had recieved this time. I will never forget the look on my...

  25. Dry, Chapped, Cracked, Burning Hands

    JohnnysGirl replied to dmarie (GA)'s topic in General Nursing

    In the past, my doctor had given me a script for clobetasol. What is the difference between this and Elidel (if you know and don't mind saying). I too have sensitive skin and a few winters ago my...
