    1. stool is stool. You can get it from the pad, diaper, floor, bed, wherever gives you enough for your sample. Don't go dig in the toilet or anything like that :) 2. it depends on who's asking, and...

  2. Students cheating on tests....

    kgh31386 replied to dreamer2011's topic in General Students

    Movie butter popcorn is choice for the evening, except I'm at work. When I was in school, we had those "cheaters" and those who finished school knowing less than they did when they started. Some of...

  3. Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

    kgh31386 replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

    I understand for those who must get the ADN or some other degree, then the BSN later. But I've read quite a few people on here who say "the ADN is easier, and less time consuming in the hospital"....

  4. Anyone worried b/c you did RN and not BSN?

    kgh31386 replied to Chris99mu's topic in General Students

    I'm just trying to understand why so many people are getting their ADN or LPN, then immediately going into these bridge programs. Won't that cost more, take longer, and be more troublesome? Why not...

  5. expelled for academic dishonesty

    kgh31386 replied to cummings 41's topic in General Students

    And by "the student", you do mean you correct? 99% of programs in the US(even the "bad" ones), will not accept you unless you are eligible for return from the previous program. Even if you travel...

  8. I am a new grad and got a job as ALF director position!

    kgh31386 replied to eve5483's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Nothing against the OP...but you're potentially going to be a director on your own BEFORE you even have a license. Now you may be one amazing new grad who can run an entire hospital..but on paper this...

  9. I am a new grad and got a job as ALF director position!

    kgh31386 replied to eve5483's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Ok my question...have you taken the NCLEX yet? I'm not being jealous, critical, etc. Just trying to understand why a previous manager would hire someone with no managerial experience, to run a...

  10. Medical Term Clarification

    kgh31386 replied to ClimbingRN2b's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok..regarding the dorsal part of the hand. You have 2 sides of your hand correct? Palmar, and dorsal...the palm is, well on the palmar surface. Just like your foot, plantar and dorsal. You plant with...

  12. Overwhelmed....will it always be like this?

    kgh31386 replied to FLhusker's topic in General Students

    I'm just gonna throw my experience out there. When I went through the BSN program...they assigned those 10 chapters a week, which came out to like 700 pages maybe. Did I read them? Nope. Did I skim...

  13. How many books is too much? Help!!!

    kgh31386 replied to Del07's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Only you know how many you need to be adequately prepared. It's true that too many will confuse you. One book may say that X medication is the priority in a certain situation, another book will say...

  14. Ques. on Lacharity book

    kgh31386 replied to wecan11's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Listening to heart sounds will delay treatment and will definitely not fix the problem. Give them the nitro first to see if the pain is relieved. Assessing first will not always be the right answer....

  15. Disappointed in myself, could use some pointers...

    kgh31386 replied to canigraduate's topic in General Students

    And I agree with you. It's directed towards the ones who get a C and build on it with the mindset of "well it doesn't really matter as long as I get a 42 on the final to get a C in the class, it's...

  17. I was wondering if anyone took both Kaplan and Hurst.

    kgh31386 replied to krissi621's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Like they said, some people don't really study and pass no problem...others can study months with 5 different reviews, and fail. I took Hurst because my job reimbursed me for it. I also stumbled...

    You gotta realize that a patient may have a cardiology consult, pulmonary consult, renal consult, infectious disease consult, etc. The doctor who came to see him may have been consulted for cardiac...

  19. Scared Crapless

    kgh31386 replied to jweb's topic in General Students

    Not necessarily, we had papers and projects in undergrad that were pretty big projects...10-15% of the grade, etc. But they don't count unless your test and final exam average were above passing. My...

  20. Scared Crapless

    kgh31386 replied to jweb's topic in General Students

    To the OP, I just want to clarify something...I'm doing some math here. You said that you were doing ok this whole semester, and something "threw you off on this LAST TEST". You say you got a 65 on...

  21. What all can you do with an MSN in Education?

    kgh31386 posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm currently in the MSN program for education. I've been wanting to teach clinical, but I keep hearing about the big paycut...something I don't like. I've been looking around online seeing what doors...

    kgh31386 replied to samantha0890's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Didn't say you can't. And regardless of people saying you can't, I'm sure you will eventually. But to increase your chances, I would see about externships, scholarships to boost your resume, possibly...

    kgh31386 replied to samantha0890's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I've never posted in this section but it popped up on the news thing. You probably should have worded that differently..."HAVE" to do? Don't think so, no one has to do anything. I know some new grads...
