  1. Hijacking The Class

    cmonkey replied to RNShenanigator's topic in General Students

    I hate to say it, but I've totally been that person. I have to hold myself back from asking questions, but at least they're never "where are you in the notes?"

  2. Vintage nursing uniform

    cmonkey replied to Epona's topic in General Nursing

    check costume pattern books (vogue, simplicity,

  3. IPod and lecture question

    cmonkey replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    italk! that's the one. nifty little jobber. and

  4. IPod and lecture question

    cmonkey replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in General Students

    I have the little recorder that plugs into the headphone hole. It records directly to my ipod, then itunes automatically shunts it off the ipod and into itunes. Then you have it in both spots and can...

  5. Am I too old to just be starting?

    cmonkey replied to Roxy0628's topic in General Students

    At the risk of repeating someone else's post, how old would you be if you didn't enter the

  6. Job-out option

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in General Students

    Fabulous, thanks so much. I do worry about losing momentum. Pretty much the only thing I finish is dessert, so stopping in the middle of a program in the name of experience may be the kiss of death...

  7. Job-out option

    cmonkey posted a topic in General Students

    My school offers a year off between LPN and RN as a job-out option. You get to keep your spot, basically, and can go back for the RN without having to be on the wait list again. I can see positives...

  8. Home Health visits for mother/baby?

    cmonkey replied to harborview's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My HHN was through the county, which I would think is pretty typical. I don't think she was a LC but she did seem to know what she was talking about (this is my 3rd, so I didn't have many questions)....

  9. Spring 2010 Hopefuls!

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

    Where are you applying? WITC in Superior, WI. What are their requirements/what do they look at for admission? Meet a special assessment standard on a WITC admissions test. [not required if you...

  10. Skin to skin contact

    cmonkey replied to at your cervix's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My last two were born at home (in a tub) and I had them s2s right away. We tracked temps for 24h and saw the same thing, always nice and toasty. No IVs, of course, but DD2 nursed at 17m (after sucking...

  11. How many classes do you have left?

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

    I have to take Speech. I'm doing pathphys this semester but took an incomplete because I (finally) had my baby and she's taking up a wee bit of my time right now. But I probably don't start until fall...

  12. Since we were talking about birth plans....

    cmonkey replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    They wanted to suction her for mec, so they cut it immediately. I'd argue the extra O2 via the cord is worth keeping, but it all happened so fast I didn't get a word

  13. Since we were talking about birth plans....

    cmonkey replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Except for the cord, I was able to have all that with my hospital birth. Not much help since you probably aren't going to fly up here for l&d, but our facilities are pretty conservative. So if I...

  14. Since we were talking about birth plans....

    cmonkey replied to WVUturtle514's topic in Ob/Gyn

    If anyone tells you those requests are too out there, I'd find a different place to have your

  15. Math and I don't mix, should I consider something else?

    cmonkey replied to LittleJ's topic in General Students

    I have a really hard time with math, but I got a B in stat. If I can do that, ANYONE can pass it. FWIW, that's the highest grade I've gotten in a math class since grade school. I'm the proud owner of...

  16. Things people say coming out of anaesthetic

    cmonkey replied to frellyou's topic in General Nursing

    While I was going under for a D&C after DD was born, I told the anesthetist that we were considering naming the baby Fallopia. I hope he knew I was

  17. The Business of Being Born: Documentary

    cmonkey replied to alienRNwannabe's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I had my second homebirth last Wednesday, and it's probably no surprise that I loved this movie (but for the gloveless midwife. Uh, fail!). I like to think that this could turn up in sex ed classes...

  18. Help with a Brain Teaser

    cmonkey replied to Dani8962's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I know mine registered at +6m. It's embarrassing, but there ARE laws about poas if you find one, you know. So I found one when I was cleaning out the pantry, and I had to pee on it to avoid...

  19. New way to assess pain in laboring women

    cmonkey replied to LaborLovinRN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't recall getting the 10/10 question with DD, but it wouldn't have been particularly useful. I mean, no ctx = no pain, and ctxs were worse when I was in the wrong position. Once I found a good...

  20. Digestive case study

    cmonkey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I haven't looked up all the labs, but this just SCREAMS cholecystitis. Also, is it wrong to be happy to find someone with cholesterol higher than mine? I've read that statins can increase the...

  21. Digestive case study

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

    Oh, and the pain! I seriously thought I was having a gb attack last night on the way home. Turns out I ate too many dried cherries earlier in the day. Did you know that gas pain can make you want to...

  22. Digestive case study

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

    Can't be MI, though, because we're studying the digestive system. Aha! I would agree otherwise, though. I'm actually kind of glad that we're doing this by system or I'd NEVER come up with a dx for...

  23. To the girl who was texting all through chemistry class....

    cmonkey replied to polka-dot's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I knit in class, but it helps me retain information better. I'll stop if the teacher asks me not to do it,

  24. Wow, I guess I'm in

    cmonkey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just turned in my application, transcripts, and application fee and I'm now officially on the wait list for the ADN program. That was way too easy. It's probably an 18-24 month wait, but that's...

  25. Weird habits you've picked up since starting Nursing school

    cmonkey replied to Kiringat's topic in General Students

    My dad had TAK 2 ASA on his plates for a long time but no one ever got it. Poor thing.
