  1. What Is A Gbs Test? What Happen When Its Positive

    cmonkey replied to FutureRNelizabeth's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Nope, I was gbs+ with my son and didn't have abx. He just turned

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

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

    I'm in my last pre-req class this semester, then I take the NET and wait. I'm taking patho in the fall as a pre-req for the BSN, but I don't *have* to do it now. Sweating

  3. Maggot Debridement Therapy

    cmonkey replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    Nope, but COOL! My dad had a pt with accidental maggot debridment once, though. Pulled off his boot in the ER and out spilled a whole mess of 'em. Hello,

  4. Anyone Certified As An Epic Analyst?

    cmonkey replied to Brownms46's topic in Nursing Informatics

    I'm not/wasn't an analyst, but I did do abstracting in EPIC and thought it was a great product. Apparently our facility led them to add LOTS of extras to other places' packages.

  5. Who has taken Pathophysiology??

    cmonkey replied to studentmom2007's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm signing up for it this fall, and I'm really excited. It sounds so cool! I'm going to bone up ahead of time by listening to Doc C's lectures on itunes. He's great and makes things really easy to...

  6. Is nursing hereditary?

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

    My father, pgf, and paternal uncle are/were all docs. My mgm was a nurse. My pgm was a TB social worker. My mother (not a nurse/doc) did a ton of work on the AIDS database back in the '90s. So there's...

  7. Realistically

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

    Well, the point would be that I'd like to get a handle on my responses *before* I need to put them into effect, which includes school. I start clinicals for my CNA certificate on Monday and it's...

  8. Realistically

    cmonkey posted a topic in First Year After Licensure

    How assertive can you be with pts/coworkers/docs when they're either abusive or pushing too much on you, without catching flack for it? I see a lot of posts about walking away from abusive pts, but...

  9. I take the NET test this thursday (03/13/2008)

    cmonkey replied to sherriberry1's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How did it go??

  10. future nurse student needs NET help

    cmonkey replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you know which kind of questions you're missing out on, like main idea, inference,

  11. future nurse student needs NET help

    cmonkey replied to 9livesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I read the ERI book and it helped immensely. I wasn't really getting what the questions were asking (and I have a BA in English! ), and reading through that section really made a difference. Also,...

  12. Is this birth plan reasonable

    cmonkey replied to wulfbourne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I didn't know that about oral K.

  13. Is this birth plan reasonable

    cmonkey replied to wulfbourne's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Remember that the Vit. K and eyedrops are NOT mandated in most (any?) states and if you want to refuse them, you can. They cannot force you to accept them. It was easy for me since I had DS at home....

  14. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    cmonkey replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    I haven't even finished my prereqs yet but I find myself eyeing veins when I'm out in public. I hope that's a good sign and not an impending visit to the locked ward. ...though that much time away...

  15. Pain Management

    cmonkey replied to almstdn45's topic in General Nursing

    My understanding is that people who abuse opiates, at least, often never have the same pain threshold as people how have not been abusers. It may be that they never have a "normal" baseline tolerance...

  16. Rejection - Reason to worry???

    cmonkey replied to godspeed6's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How old will you be if you don't get

  17. packing a child in ice for a fever of 105 degrees?

    cmonkey replied to TooterIA's topic in General Nursing

    I got a tub of ice water and I remember the cubes floating around my knees. Then I got a CSF tap and a needle phobia. Good

  18. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

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

    At the risk of repeating myself, the lectures on iTunes are GREAT. I think the couple of links a few posts back are pretty good,

  19. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

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

    I like her a lot. Between her and Doc C (local, even!), I'm getting a really good grasp of what the book is showing. I think they may even use the same text, though maybe a different edition.

  20. Comatose women LTC question

    cmonkey posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just thought of a question that I plan on asking my teacher, but also thought I'd toss out here: when you have a female pt in LTC who is comatose or incapable of ADLs, how do you deal with...

  21. Comatose women LTC question

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Ahh, I forgot about the briefs. That makes sense.

  22. A&P II Winter/Spring '08

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

    Yes. Yes, you

  23. Admitted then Not Admitted?!?

    cmonkey replied to Student179's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Unless "someone" has a letter to that effect, I'd ignore it. No paperwork, no

  24. Come on, now

    cmonkey replied to cmonkey's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Docs and nurses often have jobs lined up before they leave school and are registered. Why shouldn't I? The market up here seems to be a bit tight so having a line on a job before the rest of my class...

  25. Come on, now

    cmonkey posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I just tried to fill out an online app for a CNA job (my program ends 3/24) and it won't let me because I have not *completed* the program. So either I lie and say I'm done or I wait until the end of...
