  1. How nursing has changed over the years...

    cmonkey replied to nurse2be2010's topic in General Nursing

    While I'm too young to have gotten two weeks' bedrest and an ambulance ride, I am old enough to have had a dentist who didn't use gloves. He was a smoker.

  2. How nursing has changed over the years...

    cmonkey replied to nurse2be2010's topic in General Nursing

    NICE! Clearly I was born too late.

  3. Did you start reading early?

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    Yes, I still have a year before I start my core classes, but as soon as they release the book list (probably next spring/summer) I'm going to start buying them. I figure it's less painful to get them...

  4. What freak occurrences have you seen?

    cmonkey replied to PeachPie's topic in General Nursing

  5. Good advice from Head Nurse

    cmonkey posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    I read a lot of nurse blogs, and I'm totally bookmarking this post. I may even print it out and tape it above my desk. http://head-nurse.blogspot.com/2009/05/everybody-has-it-that-bad-i-promise.html...

  6. Good advice from Head Nurse

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Woo, callbacks! I totally feel the spilling over. I do it all the time. ...why isn't there an embarrassed smilie? I need it

  7. Good advice from Head Nurse

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in First Year After Licensure

    If that's the case, you might want to find a new job. I think working in a place where people view you is scum is the quickest path to despising your job (and potentially taking it out on patients,...

  8. Crappy writing

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Nursing

    Were I at all interested in med school, I could totally skip the chicken-scratch handwriting course. Alas, I don't wanna be a doc, so I have to do something about my writing. If I print, and I'm...

  9. $100,000 in student loan debt?

    cmonkey replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I admit that I'm only 2 pages into this discussion, but this caught my eye. Apologies if I'm repeaing anyone. I don't think this is necessarily true. I'm going to be attending a community college for...

  11. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    cmonkey replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    One of the many reasons we raise our own now. It's almost-not-quite funny to see the labels on chicken touting no abx, when it's THE LAW, not the producers'

  12. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    cmonkey replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    It's a running joke around here about whether we have WD-40 or not. Probably 5 cans in the barn alone. But no

  13. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    cmonkey replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Guys, a hazmat suit won't do it. You need a nice, spacious cave if you're going to ride this out. And a flamethrower. Gotta have

  14. Swine flu raises fear of pandemic - Adults and Children

    cmonkey replied to oramar's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I think it's worth keeping in mind that more than 30,000 people in the US died of flu-related complications in 2003 (CDC numbers), so seeing something like 100 die from swine flu isn't exactly...

  15. pregnancy chance

    cmonkey replied to la mama 310's topic in General Nursing

    For me (at 34, 36 and 39), it was 100%. You'd think I'd have learned by now.. lol Did you end up with a BFP or a BFN? Curious minds and

  16. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

    cmonkey replied to daisyfleur70's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That, and that the pressure gradient at the front and back ends of capillaries forces fluids through the walls, IIRC. Wow, it's only been a couple of semesters and I had to think about that one a lot....

  17. HELP! I need a pathophysiology book for nursing school

    cmonkey replied to Ochin09's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I got a few at Amazon, not text books, but study guides to get me through my pathphys class. We didn't have an assigned text, so I just got what looked good. I ended up with the Merck manual, Clinical...

  18. I need an online Human Development class for summer

    cmonkey replied to scootersuz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Lake Superior College in Duluth. Great online class with really helpful videos and other web-based

  19. What's the craziest order you've ever seen?

    cmonkey replied to ozoneranger's topic in General Nursing

    When my dad was an intern, they still put FLK* in charts when they saw kids with clear syndromes of some sort but no firm dx. Fun explaining that one in court. *Funny-looking

  20. Anbody Else Gain a Ton of Weight in Nursing School?

    cmonkey replied to CandyGyrl's topic in General Students

    As much as I detest chewing gum, I find that if I gnaw on a piece, I won't fill my face with food. I'm totally a stress eater, but gum seems to fill the gap. But I won't chew it in public. I may make...

  21. Kind of humiliating

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    This is so sad. I'm finally finishing up my incomplete from last semester, but for the life of me, I cannot come up with a consistent answer for a conversion. 500 ng/100 ml = ? ng/dl? If I'm...

  22. Kind of humiliating

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    See? Humiliating. But! I kind of got it at the end. But I still can't find resources that list ALL the lab values for the study, so even though my brain still works a bit (lost my wallet today), I...

  23. Kind of humiliating

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    So basically, 500 ng/100 ml = 500 ng/dl? It can't be that easy. don't I have to convert ng, too, or is it just sneaky business and writing it down differently to freak mathophobes like me out? Because...

  24. Kind of humiliating

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Everyone's favorite reptile saves the day again. Thanks! eta: rats, no ng on that site. I'm not having a lot of luck finding conversion help for that measurement. Evil
