  2. Why do OTC protein test strips not exist?

    2011NursingStudent replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    Yea, I did see ones that could be shipped. Will keep that in mind for the future. It seems like a product that might be profitable for drugstores though. Was wondering if there was a specific reason...

  3. Families and Healthcare: What Do You Think?

    2011NursingStudent replied to DREAMSDOCOMETRUE0610's topic in General Nursing

    Granted, I have a greater interest in science and technology than most, but having someone talk to me like I was a child and tell me "my job is not to worry about the numbers" would cause me to be...

  5. Families and Healthcare: What Do You Think?

    2011NursingStudent replied to DREAMSDOCOMETRUE0610's topic in General Nursing

    Many people really appreciate when nurses take the time to explain to them what's going on, and don't assume they "don't need to know". You should never change!!! When my son was in the hospital and...

  6. Any recommendations for easy-to-read study guide for A&P?

    2011NursingStudent replied to stefanyjoy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The best thing I've found has been the Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards. They come with a metal ring, so you can just pull out 5 or 10 cards out of the box you need, put them on the ring, and take it...

  7. would you work for free

    2011NursingStudent replied to mozella's topic in General Nursing

  9. Were my patient's rights violated?

    2011NursingStudent replied to Nurse-JP's topic in Nurses Recovery

    Looked this up b/c I was curious... In recent years, many courts have held that doctors also owe duties to protect non-patients who may be harmed by patients. For example, without a patient's...

    2011NursingStudent replied to lifelearningrn's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    2011NursingStudent replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I tried to get to the liquidating Borders yesterday near my house and got caught in a HUGE gridlock of cars, couldn't even get parking. I wanted Anatomy Flashcards. I just gave up and went to another...

  13. Seemingly pointless classes

    2011NursingStudent replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    These are good examples of what some of the important things to take out of the class are. I actually was watching "Teen Mom" the other night, and I remember watching Janelle's baby turn his back on...

  14. Seemingly pointless classes

    2011NursingStudent replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ^ You might not share the op's view on psych, but as someone with the same view on this class, who loves all their other classes, just let him vent. Everybody doesn't have to love the same classes...

  15. Seemingly pointless classes

    2011NursingStudent replied to thenameismac's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes - same class, same unreasonable teacher, same problem with one random, ridiculously low grade. (Although because I had turned in something a few hours late the second week, not realizing this...

  17. It's NOT fair!!!!

    2011NursingStudent replied to *Karleena*RN*'s topic in General Nursing

    This is true of any field right now -- my fiancee graduated law school the year before last, worst possible time, and its been a fight to get a job. When he needed one, he sat down every morning until...

  18. Got into St. Xavier!!

    2011NursingStudent replied to JennL's topic in Illinois Nursing

    I had considered it, but I'm trying reeeeally hard for Moraine, just b/c I also am pursuing a second degree and I don't want any more student loans! I have to be able to pay in cash. I hope in the...

    2011NursingStudent replied to VannVann2008's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  20. So... how do you deflect family members when you're busy?

    2011NursingStudent replied to nenabee's topic in General Nursing

    this is true. and as a cna, i should know this. for some reason, when it was my son in the bed though and i was in mommy-mode, i would just hit the call bell for urgent things, and if it was something...

  21. So... how do you deflect family members when you're busy?

    2011NursingStudent replied to nenabee's topic in General Nursing

    In defense of family members though, what are they supposed to do? I recently had a child in the hospital and had to ask for a couple of things, very politely... the nurses did give me a look like...

  23. I am interested in being a psychiatric nurse, but im mentally ill.

    2011NursingStudent replied to rapidash425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think employers look at your medical history before hiring you (unless you sign some kind of consent for them to do so). If you've received treatment and you feel like you're fine, that's not...
