    rwright15 replied to littleone0031's topic in General Nursing

    What will going to the doctor help? You only have 2 hours after an exposure to seek prophylaxic measures. Suppose you were exposed, and infected, it would take a couple of months for seroconversion,...

  5. Insulin administration and DKA... PLZ HELP

    rwright15 replied to rwright15's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This was my instinct, but I also have somewhere that SQ injection into the abdomen is desired for quicker response. This however was not in the same context as this question. IV would be the...

    rwright15 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I am 31 and in my 3rd semester of an ASN program. I have found just the opposite. Most of the little 20 something girls think they're entitled. Or their parents are paying for their college, and they...

    I did that this past summer as an "Extern I", this next summer I will be an "Extern II". The latter being the graduated one. I did mine in CVICU and really liked it. I got to work with post op...

  8. Information on Coulmbia State Community College

    rwright15 replied to neaking's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    As I mentioned earlier, the Tennessean did not really investigate their source. Most of these students were failing Nursing 2. The 2 professors resigned, and 2 new professors were brought in. They...

  9. Information on Coulmbia State Community College

    rwright15 replied to neaking's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    Okay, as a Nursing III student at CSCC, I can tell you a few things. Nursing is different from anything you will ever do. The tests in Nsg I will blow your mind. I am just now feeling like I may be...

  11. Giving Up?

    rwright15 replied to Acey's topic in General Nursing

  12. Emotional Rollercoaster of Nursing School!!!

    rwright15 replied to Blove86's topic in General Students

    Yes, it is excruciating. I will be done in May 2009, and it can't come soon enough. We've lost 2 within the first month back for fall semester, and our roll will probably drop significantly by the...

  13. Would this upset you?

    rwright15 replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    You sound like so many of the students in my class. Always griping about the schedule changing. The truth is.. They DON'T have to accomodate you. And.. on the subject of your closeness to your...

  14. Please list your opinions on this subject i am dealing with.

    rwright15 replied to 49*1's topic in General Nursing

    I agree 100% with HonestRN. That is the rationale for the credit check. Also, I know this. Some places will not even insure you (automobile, home) if you have filed bankruptcy. When I went for...

  15. I thought I was going to die.

    rwright15 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    Good luck getting her to admit she was wrong. That is probably one avenue I would leave alone. Instructors talk to each other and you don't want to be pegged as a trouble maker throughout the rest...

    rwright15 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Students

    rwright15 replied to 49*1's topic in General Nursing

    rwright15 replied to JayKay123's topic in Aesthetics

    It sounds like you just need to become an aesthetician... I don't know how nursing will play into this. I used to be (currently licensed) a cosmetologist and worked along side an aesthetician. She...
