    marilynmom posted a topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    marilynmom replied to sunshineonleith's topic in Emergency

    I have vertigo and it can be horrible and debilitating. Of course only a Dr can tell you what is causing your vertigo but make sure you ask him about it being an inner ear problem and performing the...

  6. Fish Oil...

    marilynmom replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Keep them in the fridge. I've never had them go rancid that way, plus you use up the bottle in about a month or less (at least I do). I wouldn't buy large bottles for just that

  7. Paired with horrible nurse today

    marilynmom replied to BoonersmomRN's topic in General Students

    It seems that nurses are either really good or really bad (at least the ones I have been with lately). I was with a nurse the other day who left a patient WRITHING in pain for over an hour while she...

  8. Fish Oil...

    marilynmom replied to ChargeNurseAmy74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I take fish oil softgels and the first thing I noticed right off the bat was it stabalized my blood sugar. I can't live without it now! I buy this kind from Spectrum at the health food store:...

  10. Biol and Chem

    marilynmom replied to bayarea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you think you can do it, you can. I always took 2 sciences at a time and always did fine. The farther into the science pre-reqs you get, the more you will see how they are all kinda intertwined...

  11. I love night shift!!!!!

    marilynmom replied to tinderbox's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked night shift at various places and have always loved it! I plan to work night as an RN as well, I really can't imagine not working nights. I have never been a morning person and just...

  12. Fail math exam and we are out!!!! Help!!!

    marilynmom replied to ExTechie's topic in General Students

    I think your school is like most others, meaning I don't think your situation is unique. We do not have a dosage calc class, we have to learn it all on our own in our own time and have no clue what...

  13. Fail math exam and we are out!!!! Help!!!

    marilynmom replied to ExTechie's topic in General Students

    I think it is fair, why wouldn't it be? We are required to pass a dosage test for both junior and senior years. If we don't pass with a 90% we are out and can't progress in the program. We also have...

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

  15. Lower back pain anyone?

    marilynmom replied to marilynmom's topic in General Nursing

    I think that is excellent advice and agree! Fortunatly (or unfortunatly? lol) I am a gym regular and regularly work my entire back out as well as my core. I lift weights about 3-4 days a week and do...

  19. Plan B

    marilynmom replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    OK, so what if someone comes in a couple times of year seeking emergency contraception? Do you know her background? The whole situation? Maybe, maybe not. Even so, it's better for her to go on to...

  21. Looking for Financial help or Tution Fee for Employment after graduation

    marilynmom replied to nepsys's topic in Oklahoma Nursing
