  1. NAI descent: Roll Call

    AmericanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I believe National Geographic offers a DNA test to see all the different things a person might be. I am not sure how much it is or what the specifics are in the test. I have heard though you can mail...

  2. They called the cops!

    AmericanRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    Alot of interesting things can come about in a marriage from a good set of handcuffs just kidding. Just make sure you have the key so no one ends up having to have more first responders show up just...

  3. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    AmericanRN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I lived in NY growing up and thats where I heard it back when I was a kid. I have also lived in Greensboro NC (never heard it there but the ones I know there already have BSN's and don't talk about...

  4. They called the cops!

    AmericanRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    P.S. I have called the cops on myself accidently, sounds stupid but it was horrendous misdial when I meant to punch a NC area code 910 and hit 911. I didn't think it went through since I had dial...

  5. They called the cops!

    AmericanRN replied to UM Review RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would be embarrassed but I would be glad they cared enough even after one day. I know an old lady who's daughter was a nurse. Her daughter had just turned 52 and the next day was a no show/no call...

  6. Is it true that a BSN will be mandatory soon?

    AmericanRN replied to szccdw's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    Good point. I have literally been hearing that we are "going to make all nurses have bachelors" since I was a child and I was born in 1974. I can't remember ever NOT hearing this one from nurses I was...

  7. Do higher grades determine qucker admission

    AmericanRN replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I actually saw a hypnotist 3 years ago about math. It worked. I also had a teacher who allowed me to take my tests in a test center while listening to music to keep me calm. I broke this habit the...

  8. Deaf Nursing?

    AmericanRN replied to Alcomedicism's topic in Developmental Disabilities

    In some of the colleges here in Florida a person can take ASL as a second language course instead of Spanish or some other "spoken" language. I know 2 people (cousins) who did take it and became...

  9. Scrub material?

    AmericanRN replied to lvmama's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    At least you know how to use it. Me and my husband have 2 sewing machines and bolts of material and threads and NO ONE here knows how to sew. My sister and mother also all own sewing machines and yet...

  10. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    AmericanRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    You brought up a great point. The aftermath of what it is like for you and others who have been attacked while at work. It is frightening and no one knows what that is like until it happens to them....

  11. Holes in your shoes? Gross!

    AmericanRN replied to Tait's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    OMG I know how you feel. Only babies have nice feet in my opinion. I'm in Florida and it's feet central here (uggghh) Adults can have fairly decent feet if they do some maintence but I still shudder...

  12. Do higher grades determine qucker admission

    AmericanRN replied to iwillbanurse08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    it really depends on the school as far as how they choose but gpa's tend to play a pretty big role if not the whole thing. check with them like another poster suggested on how your school does it....

  13. Scrub material?

    AmericanRN replied to lvmama's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think it's lovely that you would take the time to make scrubs for your friend. You are a very good friend for her. She is very lucky. Everyone should have or be a friend like

  14. Taking Anat & Phys I and scared "crapless"

    AmericanRN replied to Brian 77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The good note taking was a good suggestion. My teacher (had him for A & P I & II and Micro lecture) did his lecture tests straight from his lecture and very little from the book itself. He...

  15. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    AmericanRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think it's too far off topic. I think your viewpoint is interesting. I don't see it as uncompassionate, we all see things differently. To play devil's advocate though.....a police officer...

    Hey one of my friends was featured on American Jail (seriously) when they do Orient Road Jail in Tampa Florida....there she is. Anyways that is a good way to learn some new terms is to watch some of...

  18. Taking Anat & Phys I and scared "crapless"

    AmericanRN replied to Brian 77's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You cannot retain everything. I was terrifed as well in A & P I and II but I got through it. What I found later is that things I had thought I forgot I did not. Certain things begin to mesh...

  19. NAI descent: Roll Call

    AmericanRN replied to Thunderwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I don't doubt he denied it to his last breath. It's a shame but it's also a very common story. Many, many people denied it and passed as either Caucasian or African American. Anything was safer then...

  20. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    AmericanRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree it needs to change in that state. When people go to lobby for this change in the law in their area, they should come armed with the statutes for Florida and states that have similar laws...

  22. Should assaults on medical personnel be a Felony Offense?

    AmericanRN replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree wholeheartdly drinking is no excuse to hurt anyone ever. I know plenty of very nice alcoholics who never show their butt and would not hurt anyone unless it was self defense. I myself have...

  25. Glen Beck's hospital experience

    AmericanRN replied to emmycRN's topic in Nursing News

    I find it interesting in his babbling that he didn't admit in the article that his fear of the medication could because he is a recovering alcoholic. He talks about that on his radio show all the...
