  1. Pathphys argument

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

    Woo! 28/30. I'm totally okay with that. I didn't support the dx with labs enough, and lost the 2pts, but hey, now I know. Meningitis,

  2. Pathphys argument

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

    $%&&_)(&$@!@*(!!! Apparently something went wonky with the system as she was getting to the last two groups' work (of course we're the last of the two). She hopes to have it resolved...

  3. Pathphys argument

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

    I know, I feel like such the goober, but I LOVE that

  4. Pathphys argument

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

    Yeppers! She expects to have final grades Sunday night, barring infernal computation device issues (hers and mine, my motherboard is on the fritz). But if all goes well and we both have functioning...

  5. Pathphys argument

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

    I'd be happy to post our cases after we work them up. Endocrine is next. FYI, New York Times has a little one every week, and there are TONS of articles and books with similar things. Go look up...

  6. Pathphys argument

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

    So we're right on with the elevated vs r/t sepsis, but his loc/sz could also be r/t a concussion? I kind of like that. Covers all our bases. I called my dad to grill him and he went all "Occam's...

  7. Pathphys argument

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

    Hm. I never really thought it could be

  8. Anatomy and Cadavers

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

    We did cats. Sad but no biggie. I'm surprised to hear anyone's doing humans, frankly. I think that would have been really

  9. $500 for a lab work???

    cmonkey replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    My first prenatal panel (G3, P2) was over a grand. Included were Rh factor (unlikely to change, I'm guessing); Rubella titer (ditto); and ABO typing (hmm). Somehow it doesn't surprise me in the least...

  10. Do surgeons intimidate nurses?

    cmonkey replied to Anxious Patient's topic in General Nursing

    And yet you do. Please your theory explain

  11. How hard is it to get your first CNA job?

    cmonkey replied to Shannon82's topic in General Nursing

    I didn't receive a single call on any of the nine or ten applications I put in. Turns out that's okay because I found out I was pregnant a couple of days later. But still. That's never, ever happened...

  12. Eeeeevil nurse stories

    cmonkey replied to elizabells's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that I have a few eeeeevil nurse stories of my own, but I'm still planning on going into nursing as a career. So there is hope. Some people like to dwell on the bad things that happen to...

  13. religious/cultural beliefs v. suggested treatment

    cmonkey replied to mcs1505's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    FWIW, Jews, at least, can receive porcine products if it will save their lives. There are exceptions to kashrut for situations like this. So if a pig valve is going to keep someone alive until they...

  14. Are Nurse Midwives Leaving Your Area?

    cmonkey replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think there are any midwives here who have hospital privileges. All the ones I know do homebirths. None of the OBs will hire for their practices and the few mws who did work here a while back...

  15. Constipation - Need ideas...

    cmonkey replied to Meraki's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Can she eat cherries? I'm taking prenatals *and* extra iron and eating about a cup of fresh cherries a day and I couldn't be constipated if I tried. Good point for any other preggos out

  16. Cytotec for induction policy

    cmonkey replied to SDB68's topic in General Nursing

    I can't answer, but I'm curious: do you get truly informed consent, or do the docs just get "consent"? I was given terb with DD1 and the doc basically told me what she needed to say to get me to...

  17. If you're worried about A&P,

    cmonkey posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    GET THIS BOOK! It's fantastic. I finished A&P II last semester, but oh, how I wish I'd had this during class. It really brings it all together in a cohesive (and entertaining) way. I also really...

  18. How to get a head-start in Anatomy Class for Fall 08?

    cmonkey replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Read this book. It won't make as much sense to you now, but believe me, it'll help tie things together in a huge way once you're in class. I'm done with A&P and only after reading the book do I...

  19. Vitamin K administration legal/ethical nightmare!

    cmonkey replied to IndigoCarmine's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Aren't there a couple of studies out that render this issue moot if delayed clamping is implemented? Maybe I heard it on the radio, but I know I read/heard of a study that is suggesting delayed...

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

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

    Listen to other lectures online, ask LOTS of questions, and read your notes daily. Remember that each chapter you study is building on the ones before and that they ALL tie into each other in various...

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

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

    A&P II - A CNA course - A Test out med term - P (on a P/NP scale). AND? I'm DONE with prereqs! Nothing but NET now, baby. Congrats,

  22. Pitocin use

    cmonkey replied to PCmom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Hazarding a guess: managed labor (Friedman curve) gives docs a sense of control over a process that is essentially wild and uncontrolled. I also think it's bunk, but I'm a homebirther, so take that...

  23. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

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

    Congrats! Tonight is my last lab, then I'll be down to my final which I can take as of 5/8 (and don't think I won't take it asap just be D.O.N.E. with this

  24. Postpartum comfort

    cmonkey replied to JB0901's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I used frozen maxi pads and they were fabulous. Toss a couple glugs of witch hazel on that bad boy and life is

  25. Really stupid med error

    cmonkey replied to *ac*'s topic in General Nursing

    Do you see yourself ever making the same mistake again? If not, take it as a lesson learned and move on. If so, get out before you kill someone.* *I very much suspect it's the former and you're being...
