    Thank you both soooo much! I feel so stupid; I should have known ADA! I didn't know fetal heart tones could be monitored so early. That's neat. Again, thanks so

  6. have you started becoming anal about things?

    Dixen81 replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Students

    Dixen81 replied to nurse07's topic in International Nursing

    I must say, I agree with you, LPN2Be2004. At the same time, I agree with the men (MellowOne and Husband). MellowOne, I read your posts on this subject from the previous thread, and I don't think...

    Dixen81 replied to nurse07's topic in International Nursing

  11. Two students caught cheating......

    Dixen81 replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    I vote for them being kicked out of the program. Anything less would send a message that cheating is somewhat tolerated. And as someone else said, if they get away with it, it could become a habit,...

  12. Do you wear makeup?

    Dixen81 replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    :chuckle Are you my sister? BTW, why do we women "look tired and pale" without makeup, but guys don't? No fair! My favorite, longest lasting lip color is Endless, by Loreal. It stays on longer...

  13. Bathing a 7 y/o

    Dixen81 replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    You're right; that should send up a HUGE RED FLAG! The condition of her skin is NOT what I would be worrying about here! Can you get her in to see a child psychologist to find out why she doesn't...

  14. Do you wear makeup?

    Dixen81 replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    I wish I was one of those people who look great without makeup because I hate putting it on everyday. But I don't fix my hair; it's just below the shoulders and I usually pull it up. I've never been...

  15. Ghostly presences in the hospitals?

    Dixen81 replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in General Nursing

    Dixen81 replied to imgn78's topic in First Year After Licensure

    So sorry to hear that. Please don't give up; you didn't go through all of that schooling for nothing. Hang in there, get some suggestions from the nurses who took it and passed it, and try again!...

  18. Loans & BAD credit

    Dixen81 replied to JSB's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    I would suggest talking to your school counselor for advice. You are probably eligible for grants and scholarships. Good

  19. Segregated Nursing homes: Your opinion Please!

    Dixen81 replied to kwagner_51's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I believe that the main purpose of this is to allow the residents to feel more "at home." I think it's

    Dixen81 replied to IloveSnoopy's topic in General Nursing

    Lucky you! I had my big toenail removed after repeated ingrown toenails and it was the most excruitiating pain I have ever had in my life! I didn't feel it while it was happening although I watched...

  21. Segregated Nursing homes: Your opinion Please!

    Dixen81 replied to kwagner_51's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I think it's a great idea for the reasons mentioned in the article! It must be comforting for these elderly people to be surrounded by familiar customs, language, and foods. For those who oppose it,...

    Dixen81 replied to deniseS's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with lady_jezebel and move forward (in the new job, since this is what you wanted anyway before you knew you were pregnant), and just keep quiet about it till it needs to be addressed. I...

    Dixen81 replied to lilbiskit78's topic in General Nursing
