  1. Patrick Leonardi study guides?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was just looking at some A&P study guides at Amazon. Patrick Leonardi has a three volume set for A&P and also a micro study guide. They are really expensive, though. $50+ a piece from...

  2. Why isn't there's a Men's Health NP specialty

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    No, not really. I'm not interested in Men's Health or anything like that. I just think it is interesting that there are NP specialties for just about everything else. But really it isn't an NP...

  3. Why isn't there's a Men's Health NP specialty

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I figure men must have illnesses that are specific to them. We focus a lot of illnesses that effect women but other than prostate cancer I never hear about dangers to men's health. It can't...

  4. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    llg, I was wondering if you would mind sharing how old you were when you started your PhD program? I'll be around 36 when I get my BSN and probably around 39 when/if I get my MSN. I'd love to go on...

  5. Has anyone considered going all the way?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Aariah's topic in General Nursing

    IMO, doctors treat illnesses, nurses care for patients. I'm much more interested in the patient than the disease. I once worked for a Chinese Buddhist pediatrician who blended western and eastern...

  6. Annoying classmate

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in a five week summer biology class and I have a classmate who is driving me crazy. She interrupts lecture every 2 minutes to ask questions and groans loadly everytime we go to a new ppt slide....

  7. What does a EFC of 766 mean?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to 2bnurselove08's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It means you are very lucky and will get pell money. My EFC for 08/09 is $7,000 and I have been unemployed for over a year. You cannot make up your EFC with loans. Your EFC drops the total amount...

  8. Tired of impaired nurses

    ThatPoshGirl replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    It's not the addiction itself that concerns people. It is the idea that a nurse may be working impaired or stealing needed medication from his or her patient. If an alcoholic nurse is coming to...

  9. Tired of impaired nurses

    ThatPoshGirl replied to epipusher's topic in General Nursing

    I think I agree with this. I have even seen former addicts here justify this by saying something like "the pt.s are usually perscribed more than they need." I think that's a terrible position to...

  10. "I don't have AIDS"

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have you guys ever had a patient say this when they see you putting on gloves? I've heard it at least half a dozen times or more. I don't understand why some patients get offended when you put on...

  11. Uterus transplants?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to PiPhi2004's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I feel about this the way I feel about pretty much everything; it's not really my business what someone else wants to do with/to their own body. As long as the women doing it are adequately...

  12. Caught stealing drugs

    ThatPoshGirl replied to vonxojn's topic in General Nursing

    I noticed that you didn't mention anti-histamine. My mom gets headaches and I always have to nag her to try her allergy meds before she reaches for the vicoden or percocet. It usually helps. I just...

  13. This Should Make You Feel Good About How Much $$$ You Make

    ThatPoshGirl replied to JoeTheNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Did she really say "average"? She's such a hack. "Average" is meaningless without supporting data. What kind of average? Who was included in the average? What's the standard deviation? How much...

  14. 21 Weeks Preggo and want to start Pre-Nurse courses 9/08

    ThatPoshGirl replied to cashe05's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You should wait until you've had the baby before you start your prereqs. Most nursing programs are highly selective and you don't want to risk screwing up your chances. With all the stuff going on...

  15. can you be successful in nursing if

    ThatPoshGirl replied to tryingtobecome's topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious to know what aspect of math and science is difficult for you. There are some things (like anxiety) that are easier to overcome than others. Are you a female? Did you have male or female...

  16. "I don't have AIDS"

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I've never had a woman say it, just

  17. "I don't have AIDS"

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Nursing

    No, just for blood draws or wound care. It's usually middle-aged white men, blue collar, like construction workers. I figure it has to do with coming of age in the 80s with the HIV

  18. Has anyone taken A&P at TMCC?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in Nevada Nursing

    Thanks for the information. Who did you

  19. Is this LEGAL?

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

    I agree with those who say to wait until you get your grade and then complain. Is there video? If there is send it to the media outlets and put it on YouTube. I think this is a huge deal. No...

  20. O.C.D. and Nursing School???

    ThatPoshGirl replied to bobs201's topic in General Students

    OCD? Do you mean ADD? I do some of the same things you have mentioned, rereading lines, mind drifting off, etc. My problem is dyslexia. I really don't even bother to read my textbooks most of the...

  21. How long did it take to finish pre-req full time??

    ThatPoshGirl replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting. Where I'm going you have to complete all your gen ed and prereqs

  22. What do Junior Colleges Require?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to love2nurse4life's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC requires college alegebra, not really an intro course. Elementary and Intermediate algebra courses (or qualifying test scores) are required to get into college algebra. love2nurse4life, if you...

  23. College Algebra in the summer, anyone?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Congrats on your As (both of you or all of you, as the case may be)! Summer As are well earned for sure. I'm new to this thread but I took a 5-week precalculus course this summer and got an A. I'm...

  24. Ugh, my insomnia is killing me

    ThatPoshGirl replied to ThatPoshGirl's topic in General Students

    Antid-epressants make me very nervous. I was in the military once upon a time and basically had a nervous breakdown. At the time I didn't know what was going on, I just felt crazy. In retrospect it...

  25. Micro Heads Up!

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

    I've been very, very lucky actually. I had one really awful teacher that totally stopped lecturing after the midterms and then tested us on stuff that was in chapters we were never assigned. I also...
