  1. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Speaking of smoke on clothes, google 'third hand smoke'. There are several websites discussing the harm of smoke residue on clothes and other objects. I guess it makes sense. But I think it mostly...

  2. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure that I would agree that the toxins left in clothes, furniture, and so on are particularly harmful. Yes, the toxins are there, but as someone else mentioned, we probably get more exposure...

  3. Transgender Nursing Student

    JettaDP replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    Write down the pros and cons of both. Maybe seeing a list will help you decide. Find out what the NCLEX pass rate is for the U of M. If their pass rate is average or above average it can't be that...

  4. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    You make a really good point. A trusting relationship is probably necessary to have this kind of a conversation. It's too bad having this kind of a relationship with most people is hard to come by....

  5. Any G.E.D graduates? I got a question

    JettaDP replied to FutureNS's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Do you have enough time left to take a class during the summer? Or try a tutor. At my school, there is a free tutoring service. I would definitely look into that. I graduated high school but I...

  6. Transgender Nursing Student

    JettaDP replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    See that's kind of what I was talking about in my post. You may not be able to claim discrimination because relious schools have different rules they can legally go by. They may be able to dismiss...

  7. Transgender Nursing Student

    JettaDP replied to Transgender_n_TN's topic in General Students

    If you feel you need to change your name before you graduate, why don't you pick a name that suits both males and females? I has become quite popular in recent years for girls to have boys name. And...

  8. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I did look at this thread. Thank you for sharing. What I learned from the responses she got and the responses that I have got is that I am out of place to bring up the subject because 1) I am not a...

  9. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I absolutely agree. There's a huge difference. But in the case of my neighbors, they aren't taking any precautions. They hold their kids while they smoke. If I always saw them smoking out on the...

  10. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you. I agree with you. Thank you for recognizing that I have good intentions even though they may be

  11. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    You're absolutely right. And I don't know where it ends. I simply don't have an answer for that. And no, I wouldn't feel obligated to tell a parent feeding their kids McDonalds that their...

  12. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, really. As a future health care provider I feel that I should look after the health of others. Including people who can't speak for themselves. And yes, I have decided to "mind my own...

  13. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    Actually yes, I do know they're not taking the same precautions. I live in an apartment building. I am on the second floor and they're on the first. During the day they almost always have their...

  14. Nursing, Smoking, and Kids

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not a nurse yet, so I don't know what 2 PPD or 1/2 PPD is....... Well, everyone, thanks for your advice. Everyone has basically said the same thing so I think I will take everyones advice and...

  15. Am I wrong?

    JettaDP replied to emmy41lgpn's topic in General Nursing

    I think that there has been a lot of miscommunication. Whatever the reality is of who called who and whose phone doesn't work and what operator is incompetant....doesn't really matter anymore....

  16. Exams unfair, and prof won't do anything about it.

    JettaDP replied to katmarieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why would your e-mail be copied to him? If you send an e-mail to the whole class just make sure you delete his e-mail from the recipients list. Or send an e-amil using a different address....

  17. My Chem teacher is making me doubt myself, and class has not even started

    JettaDP replied to msdeannah's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I highly doubt he thinks you are a slacker. Slackers don't try to get textbook information ahead of time. I don't think he was trying to be discouraging. As others have said, he was probably just...

  18. Exams unfair, and prof won't do anything about it.

    JettaDP replied to katmarieRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I had a similar situation in my phlebotomy class. Our teacher used old tests that didn't coincide with the new test. We "protested" but it didn't do any good. Out of our 4 tests, I got 3 C's and 1...

  19. Well, I'm a dummy!

    JettaDP replied to Carmen29's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How bad do you need to take the class? I ask because you could simply take it as an online course. Even if you have to take it from a different school that you normally go to. At my school, Chem is...

  20. Wait list vs. no wait list

    JettaDP posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a nursing school in Denver that has no wait list because they have many start dates throughout the year. Also, they don't have a wait list because many students decline to go there because...

  21. Sex and Nursing School

    JettaDP replied to motyandproudofit's topic in General Students

    Maybe it isn't the time you put into studying. If he says he is stressed and tired because of work maybe it is a worse problem than he is letting on. I would dig more into what's stressing him out...

  22. After A Year of Nursing...I Still Feel Like I'm Dieing

    JettaDP replied to actress8503's topic in General Nursing

    I truly don't know what you're going through because I'm not even a nurse yet. I start my program this fall. So I don't know if my advice will help you, but I will try. So here goes....... Maybe...

  23. MA's know as much as RN's??

    JettaDP posted a topic in General Nursing

    So I went to my doctors appointment the other day for a physical and a girl came in to check my vitals. I assumed she was a nurse. Or maybe a CNA. Anyway, we got to chatting and I told her I was...

  24. MA's know as much as RN's??

    JettaDP replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think I'm putting words in her mouth. I didn't say that said she knows more. This is just what I got out of the conversation. It was just how I interpreted it. After reading the replies to...

  25. How long did you wait?

    JettaDP posted a topic in Arizona Nursing

    I was just wondering how long everyone was on waitlists for Maricopa county schools? I was told that if I apply for most of the community colleges my wait could be as little as a year. Does this...
