  1. What would RN's do?

    Abishag replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    See this is why I should have used smilies:uhoh3:...since no one can actually read my expressions I guess its hard to tell when I'm being serious or sarcastic. As for the editing...I didn't know...

  2. What would RN's do?

    Abishag replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    According to the WHO: Although antibody assays are conveniently used as an indication of previous infection or response to vaccination, failure to detect antibodies against VZV does not necessarily...

  3. What would RN's do?

    Abishag replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    My apologies on two accounts...the first I did mean aquired not natural. Thanks for that!! The second: I was being facetious. While I do believe its hard to find REAL "evidence" based research, I...

    Abishag replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Abishag replied to BiologyNerd's topic in General Nursing

    Here are my . I do believe in vaccinations but not the schedule provided by the APA. I personally think its too many introductions of DNA/RNA to a developing immune system. I have delayed my...

    Okay I'm a nursing student and just went for my health assessment yesterday. I had a TB skin test and go for my result on Monday. After taking a hot shower a few minutes ago, I'm noticing some redness...

  7. Freaking out just a little...

    Abishag replied to Abishag's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you guys...the redness is starting to go away. I think it was a bruise or just irritated. I guess now I just need to wait and see what happens. I do have to say after reading a lot of different...

  8. Freaking out just a little...

    Abishag replied to Abishag's topic in General Nursing

    I realized after posting that message that most likely no one could tell me what they think since you have to read the results. But thanks for the assurance that it won't hold me back. I'm hoping its...

  9. A letter to my clinical instructor..

    Abishag replied to mlisk589's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but I have to say, WTH?! What was her rediculous reason for refusing? This woman should have been brought a chair. I think I would have said something to my CI and brought the chair. This is...

    Abishag replied to tannylp74's topic in General Students

    I think one Dx would be pregnancy. j/k Please don't be mad at my joke. I really am waiting to hear details. I am really interested in this field and want to see if I could help.

  11. How frustraing is it for CNM's in hospitals?

    Abishag posted a topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I am currently waiting to begin NS to become an RN and my main interest is L&D. I'm just curious if its frustrating for those of you that have to deliver at the hospital and have your hands tied...

  12. How many females are "peeking" in this forum?

    Abishag replied to caliber's topic in Men in Nursing

    I was looking for a particular thread that had been started under general regarding male RN going to OB floor and was denied because of gender. I posted under male RN /female patient or something like...

  13. Male Nurses attending to female patients (morals vrs ethics)

    Abishag replied to nkmorale's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Hello guys, :redlight: :trc: Sorry to intrude in your forum (I'm a female NS student). There was a forum posting on this subject or similar in the General Nursing forum and it was closed before I...

  14. What does PNA Stand for?

    Abishag replied to cincin1's topic in General Students

    The only PNA I've come across was perinephric abscess, but of course that seems unlikely in this context as we're talking about the lungs given the patient description. Were there other symptoms...

  15. Calling Docs by their first name...

    Abishag replied to zamboni's topic in General Nursing

    come to think of it I always call my college instructors "Professor" even when I think they probably don't have the credentials in email (all classes are online). Then when/if they write me and sign...

  16. Eww white uniforms??

    Abishag replied to jla623's topic in General Students

    I have white bottoms with a blue top. Thankfully we get to pick our scrub bottoms...whilst it doesn't help to find one that is thick enough to not see thru, I can at least get ones that aren't so...

  17. the RN's appearance

    Abishag replied to Olli's topic in General Nursing

    Can I just ask, why the heck anyone would want to make WHITE scrubs part of a uniform??! My scrub pants are white and therefore I had to go buy a bunch of nude undies (sorry to get too descriptive)...

  18. Movie: "The Business of Being Born."

    Abishag replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    I think this is why I'm not in a hurry to watch it. I took the Bradley classes which required a lot of reading (my instructor gave us five books each and required certain chapters to be read)...I know...

  19. Do family members injuried bother you more than patients?

    Abishag replied to Marie-SC's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for posting this. I'm glad to see I'm not the only one curious about

  20. Calling Docs by their first name...

    Abishag replied to zamboni's topic in General Nursing

    I would have to agree that if I were in front of patients I would call them Dr...I'm sure some patients would find the informality disturbing?? But in all, if they ask to be called by their first...

  21. Movie: "The Business of Being Born."

    Abishag replied to epiphany's topic in Certified Nurse-Midwives, CNM

    It came to my town but I was not able to make it. I would like to see it and was told you can rent it thru Netflix. I haven't checked yet. I'm sure you could purchase it on one of the auctions sites...

  22. New nurse here...slapped today by patient.

    Abishag replied to Bonny619's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for stating this. This was my opinion based on her age and the abnormal behavior for anyone in our culture. My grandfather had Alzheimers (passed about two years ago) and I went from seeing...

  23. For all mums out there

    Abishag replied to Nicky30's topic in General Nursing

    I totally agree. I've known of girls that started menses as early as 8yrs old. How devastating it would be to not have that discussion or know it could happen and then suddenly you think there is...

  24. Complaints

    Abishag replied to RiverNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Sorry if I sound presumptious but it looks like you have a fear of being disliked?? Is that possible? Otherwise, I don't think you'd be so hard on yourself since you know your limits or you would have...

  25. For all mums out there

    Abishag replied to Nicky30's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure they only process what they understand. My mom tried teaching (my sister and I) about the birds and bees when my sister was 8 and I was 5. My sister still remembers the "lesson" but I...
