  1. Drug testing?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Mike1974's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only reason that terrorists are even able to get drug money is because it is illegal. It's the criminalization of things that creates the criminals. For instance, if prostitution were legal pimps...

  2. Does your college use custom books?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college has been moving more and more toward "custom" books and packages. A lot of time there are required materials packaged with the books that can only be gotten by buying the whole package,...

  3. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    ThatPoshGirl replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My college used to use the Mariab book but in fall they are switching to some custom book by someone called Burke. The custom books really irritate me. Both my A&P and Micro classes have custom...

  4. Straight to BSN or do ADN then RN-BSN online?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Yeah, I've completed all my gen ed. I'm doing prereqs this fall (A&P I and II and Micro). If I transfer I will have to take a couple more gen ed classes plus special chem classes that will result...

  5. Straight to BSN or do ADN then RN-BSN online?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    I originally was planning on transfering to a four-year and going straight into a BSN program. Now I am considering staying at my 2-year and getting my ADN, then doing the RN-BSN at Excelsior. I'm...

  6. Are recommended texts necessary?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to notthereyet0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My advice is to wait and see if you have areas of weakness. If you feel you need extra help in a particular area then consider the recommended materials. If you are not having problems in an area I...

  7. Freak accident

    ThatPoshGirl replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in General Nursing

    I'd like to hear that story... I was once laying in bed and went to turn onto my side. My hair got caught under my body somehow so as I turned it caused my head to jerk the opposite direction. I...

  8. Staff nurse dating manager

    ThatPoshGirl replied to dks54's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If they were dating before he started I would assume she helped him get the job and management is probably aware of their relationship. I don't see any reason to worry about it since it appears they...

  9. Nurse calls in because of herpes outbreak

    ThatPoshGirl replied to nurseby07's topic in General Nursing

    Is that state or federal? Because it sounds like a lot of places require a

  10. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    ThatPoshGirl replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Geez, I feel behind now because I haven't started studying or ordered books or anything. I'm still finishing up my summer gen bio

  11. Nervous about A&P Final

    ThatPoshGirl replied to MasonsMommy's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh, good luck. I say just try to relax. Read your notes before you go to bed and let your brain sort things out while you sleep. Before class skim over them again. Is it multiple choice, essay,...

  12. Would you ask a patient's child to dress his or her parent?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    If that was the case (he didn't seem sedated) wouldn't I be the last person they would want dressing him? My dad weighs 300 lbs, if he fell I would not be able to stop him. I would think that would...

  13. Would you ask a patient's child to dress his or her parent?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    I know for a fact he had nothing on. I was in the curtain area with them and when she was moving him around I could see that he was in a gown

  14. They State Allowed a Kidnapper to REMAIN A NURSE!!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Teleflurry's topic in General Nursing

    I don't really feel strongly one way or another about this case. I do think it is interesting that the reaction to this seems to be the exact opposite of the reaction to the "Should addicted nurses...

  15. Anatomy & Physiology Fall 2008

    ThatPoshGirl replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wonder if it would be possible to get together with a group of students and sign up for that 3D anatomy site. It is way too expensive for a

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

    ThatPoshGirl replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    The OP did not say that this MA referred to herself as a

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

    ThatPoshGirl replied to JettaDP's topic in General Nursing

    How did you get "MAs know as much as RN" from that? This MA did not say that, she said that they do the same work as RNs except administering medicine. I think you are unfairly putting word in this...

    ThatPoshGirl replied to CracklinRose's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Woo, I got 90% (missed #7). Thanks for the

    Awesome, you rock. I'm doing A&P I and II in a fast track classes (8 weeks each) and micro. I expect to be very

  20. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Actually universal healthcare would cost less than what we have now, for everyone. The system we have right now is entirely inefficient. People who don't have insurance wait to go to the hospital...

  21. I have a masters!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to words747's topic in General Nursing

    You should be able to get into an accelerated BSN program that will only take a

  22. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    People seem not to realize that universal healthcare would be cheaper than the existing system. Our healthcare ranks below both Britain and Canada and we pay more per capita than they do. People who...

  23. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    My asthmatic 18-year-old nephew, two weeks out of high school, had a heart attack last month because a lung infection went into his heart. They told him he had pericarditis and they were sending him...

  24. Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to DanFNP's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    It really disappoints me that so many healthcare professionals would say that they don't think everyone deserves to have access to healthcare. In the US over 100,000 people die every year from lack...

  25. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    Three years for a CNA program? Or am I misunderstanding the
