  3. Anyone have experience with Ultrascope vs Littman?

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've only been able to find a handful of posts about the Ultrascope. Littman is obviously more popular than Ultrascope, but is it because it is better or just more well known? I really want an...

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

    I'm not at your cc but I am a student at a cc. Here (in Nevada) the prereqs for the ADN program at the cc are virtually the same as the prereqs for the BSN program at UNLV and UNR. All the gen ed...

    ThatPoshGirl posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My CC has a cadaver lab for A&P. They say they are one of only a few 2-year colleges in the west to have such a thing. Does anyone know exactly what goes on in a cadaver lab? Are they people...

  7. Are Student Nurses Prepared for "Real Life?'

    ThatPoshGirl replied to paperdreams's topic in General Nursing

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

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Only1Balto's topic in General Nursing

  12. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

  13. NOT BASHING M.A.'s!!!!

    ThatPoshGirl replied to KayceeLeeRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you are more upset than is justified since you haven't told her how you feel. If you tell her how you feel and she doesn't modify the behavior then you have justification to be upset,...

  14. "Secret" HIV Vaccine in use?

    ThatPoshGirl replied to Annisme's topic in General Nursing

    The problem is, you can't prove a negative. It is impossible. You can't prove that something doesn't exist. The best you can do is prove that something else does exist that makes the existence of...
