  1. Questions about National Health Services

    APBT mom replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    That was something else that the story said about even if you have to have a procedure done that you are waitlisted for it and sometimes it can take years to have it done. There was a lot of people...

    APBT mom replied to kygirlathart's topic in Florida Nursing

  3. What is the BEST Medical/Surgical Textbook?

    APBT mom replied to 4rom2bRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I bought a med/surg book at Borders called Medical Surgical Nursing by Mosby. It was around $40. It was very helpful didn't seem as medical termed to me. I don't think the instructor would mind that...

    APBT mom replied to ThinkRNin2009's topic in General Students

  7. I asked my doctor to get me a licensed person to give me an injection

    APBT mom replied to DutchgirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    You have every right to ask for a qualified person to do any procedure on you but when you said this it was unjustified. She probably didn't have anything to say about it because you hit a nerve but...

    APBT mom replied to kukukajoo's topic in General Nursing

    APBT mom replied to inshallamiami's topic in General Nursing

    I use to work in a MD's office where all the employees and the MD spoke Spanish. I was hired knowing that I didn't speak any Spanish. They would do the same thing while in between patients or during a...

  16. Does anybody had seen a nurse with tunnel earrings?

  20. Rounding up grades

    APBT mom replied to kakalika's topic in General Students

  21. Working while going to school?

    APBT mom replied to desertdogs's topic in General Students

    I know at my school you can't trade clinical hours for job hours. You can't even pick a clinical site at a hospital or facility that you work at because 1) they are concerned with the floor nurse...

  22. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    APBT mom replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    To the school itself: just because we are the night class doesn't mean that we should be excluded from the schools activities because that's when the diretor of the program is there. When we are...
