  1. Any Nursing students for January '10 ?? Need some friends!

    CBsMommy replied to avidhunter3's topic in General Students

    I am starting Jan. 20th, 2010 for my ADN-RN at PPCC in Colorado Springs. I'm so very excited. Congrats to everyone who got in and good luck to everyone still waiting! Time seems to be flying by as...

  2. Why would I NOT help? I'm confused.

    CBsMommy replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not even in the hospital setting yet but yes, it's very rare for someone high on the totem pole to help out. I think people are so used to having to "go it alone" without management's help. I...

  3. Symptoms for Septic Shock/MODS?

    CBsMommy posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    This textbook that I have does not explain the actual symptoms for septic shock versus MODS. Are they the same? This is for a 10 year old child...These are the symptoms/signs that I am coming up...

  5. I am tired of this attitude

    CBsMommy replied to PostOpPrincess's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the OP 100%. I've seen the good, technical nurses that are good at their job but don't care about the patient (who was my 4 month old son at the time) and even though they are "good" at...

  6. Funny Nursing Dreams

    CBsMommy replied to abbaking's topic in Nursing Humor

  8. Curious, whats your job while in school?

    CBsMommy replied to itsnever2L8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I was working 50+ hours per week in the mortgage industry so there was no way that I could study during the day. I took my pre-reqs slowly (usually 2 classes at a time) but it's def. doable. I am...

  11. Don't know that 1oz=30cc/mls....and it's the Last Trimester?

    CBsMommy replied to dblpn's topic in General Students

    I've had to deal with people like that in past classes. I would suggest to her that she pick up the books a little more often. The ounces - ccs thing was taught in our CNA class and since that's a...

  12. So very mad!!!

    CBsMommy replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    I would say B for all as well. I've never heard of taping the wedding ring to the finger. That's new to me! I would document the ring as well as everything else in the client's possession, along...

    CBsMommy replied to Confused_future's topic in Colorado Nursing

    Hi Confused - Welcome to the board. I do not know of any night or weekend programs in Colorado for either LPN or RN although I admit I'm not too familiar with trade schools that might offer nursing....

  14. I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

    CBsMommy replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    Let me clarify what I meant by my original post. I'm not sure if anyone is familiar with Love and Logic on this board? OP: YOU made the decision to be a nurse. YOU made the decision to go to...

  17. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    CBsMommy replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    I do not cry over my grades, or because I screwed up, or anything like that. I will add that I would NEVER judge those people that do cry over things like that. Everyone has a right to express their...

    CBsMommy replied to WILLBEANRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hi Sara - I'm sorry for not answering this sooner. I am starting the PPCC program in Jan. and they told our class that they would be nationally accredited by the time that we graduate. They told us...

  21. What is your perception of a nurse?

    CBsMommy replied to cincin1's topic in General Students

    I agree with almost everything said above. I can tell you that I've been with my son through three of his surgeries (he just turned 3) and the latest surgery put him in the PICU for the night. I...

  22. Does it seem like EVERYONE is trying to be a nurse?

    CBsMommy replied to mrs.tt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would agree that it seems that everyone is going for nursing but you have to look at the classes. The prereqs to nursing are not the same prereqs for everyone. For instance, someone who was...

    CBsMommy replied to caffeineRx's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  25. Attended an autopsy today

    CBsMommy replied to econ2nursing's topic in General Students

    I would love to see an autopsy. We also got to see a cadaver and it was VERY interesting! Prior to nursing, I kicked around with the idea of going into mortuary science but I just don't think that I...
