  1. Bedside is Best

    LeesieBug replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I just do not look at it the same way. Nursing is centered around the patient. It doesn't matter whether it is direct or indirect care. YES, even the nurse manager's ULTIMATE function is to ensure...

  3. Career Path Obstacles - Need Advice

    LeesieBug replied to KristinWW's topic in General Nursing

    I think that's something you have to decide, knowing yourself and your circumstances. Personally, I would rather take longer for school and be more available for my children (which is what I chose to...

  5. Nursing student struggling, needs tips on how to pass classes and succeed....

    LeesieBug replied to Wheaties's topic in General Students

    I think the key is to discovering the form of study that works best for you, while being the most efficient for you. I do not think it is in a student's best interest to spend every free minute...

  6. Distal/Proximal...so confused!

    LeesieBug replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    The way I remember distal and proximal is that DIStal is at the furthest DISTANCE from the point of origin. Proximal being closer to the point of origin. As far as the point of origin, that is...

  7. Healing Old Wounds

    LeesieBug replied to hbscott's topic in General Nursing

    I am sorry for the crap you experienced in nursing. I think we forget that men experience harrassment, also. It can be even worse for man, as often society does not take it seriously because, hey, MEN...

  8. Why is the term client used instead of patient?

    LeesieBug replied to LauraLou's topic in General Nursing

    hmmmm....looked up "patient" and discovered it comes from the Latin "to suffer". :chuckle Maybe "client" IS

  9. Incomptetnt instructors (a rant)

    LeesieBug replied to NP2BE's topic in General Nursing

    If we got answers like this in our program, my butt would be out the door. I can see where many of you would get frustrated as heck if this is the mentality you are dealing with. Our school, so far,...

  10. Why is the term client used instead of patient?

    LeesieBug replied to LauraLou's topic in General Nursing

    The term "client" drives me crazy. Makes me think of a call girl for some reason. Giving a patient a bed-bath sounds much more dignified than giving one to my client. They explained the logic behind...

  11. ADN v BSN coursework

    LeesieBug replied to PMHNP10's topic in General Nursing

    I'm sure this varies greatly state to state, school to school. Probably the only way you'll get an accurate idea of what to expect is to check out requirements of different programs in your area. I...

  12. and the problem is..........?

    LeesieBug replied to marcicatherine's topic in Emergency

    A neighbor was telling me how upsetting it is to have a full hyserectomy because you are considered a man afterward. They actually change your sex on your chart from "female" to "male". Uh huh...it's...

  13. opinion--no carb diet

    LeesieBug replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    My point was that if a person is practicing a low-carb diet and happy with it.....they are not going to DISAGREE with the philosophy behind it. I wasn't intending to say that people who prefer...

  14. opinion--no carb diet

    LeesieBug replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    I never knew people could get so riled up about FOOD. :rotfl: By the way, I don't think the link I posted that brought up possible negative points to atkins was "hogwash". While I may not agree with...

  15. Elective C-sections

    LeesieBug replied to Altra's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I also did VBAC and am now one of those mushy, gushy people who feel that a lady partsl delivery is AWESOME!!!!!! The bonding I felt with my daughter was unbelieveable, as compared to when I had my...

  16. opinion--no carb diet

    LeesieBug replied to CPB's topic in General Nursing

    For those who are interested here is a site that discusses concerns over high protein, low-carb diets. http://atkinsdietalert.org/ Personally, I think people must decide for themselves what is right...

  17. Proof of Immunizations

    LeesieBug replied to luvbbs's topic in General Nursing

    The easiest thing to do, if you have decent insurance, is just get titers done. We were required to get titers done ANYWAY, even though I had my childhood immunization records in my hot little

  18. Airforce nursing critical shortage specialties?

    LeesieBug replied to Toby's mum's topic in Government, Military

    Hmmmmmmm.....here I was thinking that I was too old for the armed forces, giggling that they keep sending an old broad recruiting pamphlets in the

  20. transgender nurse (transvestite)

    LeesieBug replied to nursecathy's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    "Deviant" is not an insult. It is an accurate description of behavior that is outside of socially accepted norms, WITHOUT making a judgment regarding whether the behavior is "right" or "wrong". As a...

    Dip in class, or any other formal, professional setting is just plan RUDE! How uncouth! I would also have a major problem if someone was hawkin' into a spit cup during class.....why not just pick your...

  24. I hate it when people say this...

    LeesieBug replied to Shotzie's topic in General Nursing

    I've got an uncle who is a physician, and of course when he heard I was working on my BSN he told my mother if I was going to spend all that time in school I might as well go "all the way" and become...

    LeesieBug replied to RN_2_B_5/2004's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
