  2. Pain scale is missing a key element

    lizmatt replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

  4. Should boyfriend help me out?

    lizmatt replied to QUEBEBRAN's topic in General Students

    Though I don't think he should be obligated to do so, if he could help you out from time to time it would be nice if he has the means to do so if you guys are that serious. Generosity is a good...

  5. Anyone can get into Nursing.

    lizmatt replied to indiawhitaker's topic in General Nursing

    Just wondering, does he always talk down to you like that? Why is he with you if you are so dumb? It just seems to me that there is so much more going on there than lack of understanding of the...

  7. Childcare for 12 hour overnight shifts

    lizmatt replied to lizmatt's topic in General Nursing

    I just came across a wonderful resource sittercity.com . I am still checking it out, but it has a rate calculator and places where sitters place profiles- so I still may be able to find someone who...

    lizmatt replied to lizmatt's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your input - I really appreciate the opinions. I know I could find someone who will do it for that amount, but I don't want them to feel unappreciated. I also know that this would...

  12. English prof + course issues....

    lizmatt replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  13. What to do?? I failed!

    lizmatt replied to RNFinally12's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    If you do the LPN program will you have to start from the beginning of that, or will some of your previous course work count toward it? I am so sorry that you failed - it really is a horrible feeling...

  15. English prof + course issues....

    lizmatt replied to simonek's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think the OP meant that they could not grade replace a C. To the OP, were you in communication with the professor at all? It has been my experience that they can really work with people if they are...
