  1. Deaf people

    Emery posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi all, I was just wondering about how often you run into deaf people. I am currently enrolled in Sign Language II. I began learning it just for fun, but was wondering how many of you know it and...

  2. What did YOU pay for your Nursing Books for school??

    Emery replied to sherry730's topic in General Nursing

    One of my books for this coming fall is going to cost me over $300 alone, and I'm taking 19 credit hrs.

  3. Straight A's

    Emery replied to wanna-b-R.N.'s topic in General Nursing

    I too, used to be worried about that. But in order to get into the Community college nursing program here, it's based on a point system and your GPA is only a very small part of getting in. Don't...

  4. any advice

    Emery replied to nursingyoursoul's topic in General Nursing

    I too have wondered about that. I was diagnosed with slight hearing loss about a year and a half ago, and it has grown worse. It is getting harder for me to hear someone talking to me if their back is...

    Emery replied to nev's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    LOL! I must be weird! I like the smell of the hospital. Whenever I come home my 10 year old brother runs away from me because he can't stand how I smell! hehe. Anyway, I get a weak stomach when it...

    Emery replied to nurseangel78's topic in General Nursing

    I started getting migranes when I was 12 or 13. The dr. put me on a generic of immitrex (duradrin), but within 15 minutes, I was so dizzy and could hardly breath. THAT didn't work. I went on...

  7. What do you do if a patient strikes?

    Emery posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi! I'm a pre-nursing student and I am in Intro to Health Care this semester. My teacher said that if a patient attacks you, you're not allowed to defend your self. I was kind of shocked at that and...

  8. What do you do if a patient strikes?

    Emery replied to Emery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Well, I can understand if the person really has no control over his actions, but the guy who broke the nurses wrist should have been taken down. I can't believe that they tried to fire HER!! Thats...

  9. What do you do if a patient strikes?

    Emery replied to Emery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Do you know if those "self defense" classes you were talking about are required for nursing? I don't remember seeing it on my class list. If it isn't I'm sure it would be adventageous to take,

  10. What do you do if a patient strikes?

    Emery replied to Emery's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you so much for clearing that up for me. I feel much better now. I will bring it up again in class on Monday. I realize that you do not want to harm the patient, if at all possible, but...

    Hi! I'm am graduating from high school next week. I know I want to go into nursing, but I would also like to be a midwife. I want to do both, so which one would be better to do first? I haven't...

  12. Which should I do first? RN or Midwifery?

    Emery replied to Emery's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Thanks everyone! I really thought that you would have to have some kind of expierence first. It would only make sense. Thanks for all your input!! I really appreciate it! :)

  13. did any one go to this university?

    Emery posted a topic in General Nursing

    I was just wondering if anyone went to Bob Jones University to get their nursing degree. I've been looking into it..... I've also been looking at the community college. Looks as though it will be...

    Emery replied to Buddha's topic in General Nursing

    I'm so sorry to hear about your shoulder. I separated mine about 2 years ago. It was very very painful. but what made it even worse was I had just gotten out of a cast 6 weeks earlier for a broken...
