    That is just so beautiful. The detail and the emotion it enables one to feel is simply awe-inspiring. Your wife has a great talent. How is the baby doing

    Concerned about Daughter's Assignment

    donsterRN replied to imenid37's topic in General Nursing

    I'm certainly very happy for this outcome, but I agree with everyone else here; it was a dangerous assignment for someone still in school. I think following up with the instructor's superiors is...

    What do you do to take care of yourself???

    donsterRN replied to Diary/Dairy's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Last week I started step aerobics in a class. There's about 15 of us, and it's for college credit, so it's motivation to attend. It's twice a week, an hour at a time, so we get a good workout. On...

    AIDS patients

    donsterRN replied to Sabby_NC's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Now YOU stop; I'm tearing up! Every once in a while, I remember people who were taken from us so long ago, way back before this even had a name. And I remember how alone and scared they were; how...

    Please Pray

    donsterRN replied to Medicine Eagle's topic in General Nursing

    I pray daily for your Catie. I'm so happy her dream has been granted and she'll soon be able to visit Disney World. It's magical, really. And I'm concerned about you; please have your elbow looked...

    How much do you study?

    donsterRN replied to np_wannabe's topic in Florida Nursing

    It seems like I'm studying all the time! I'm lucky that I can just go into my office or on campus and spread out the books, so I do it frequently. I would guess I put in 30 hours weekly outside of...

    I feel like a total moron, today in a lecture at school I heard the word holistic,

    donsterRN replied to tiffany311's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Please don't feel like that; you are not alone and sometimes you just have to ask questions! To me, holistic refers to the "entire" being: Physical, psychological, emotional, social, spiritual. The...

    Ever work at one of these Fla. hospitals?

    donsterRN replied to bald1rn's topic in Travel

    Actually, it's mostly Medicare and supplementals. But Caroladybelle is right; without a doubt, the nastiest bunch of people I've ever seen... ever. Rude doesn't begin to describe the entitled gentry...

    Excelsior College or College Network

    donsterRN replied to Diamond01's topic in Excelsior College

    PLEASE do a search on this site of the Distance Learning forums; you'll find much information about this very thing. In a nutshell, the College Network is NOT a degree-granting institution of higher...

    Dont you just love them

    donsterRN replied to teeituptom's topic in Emergency

    People who choose to destroy their own lives often destroy the lives of those around them. Like Steph, I feel sorry for the people around them. But those individuals who abuse their bodies and their...

    What does a RN do? and What Kind are their?

    donsterRN replied to Student0604's topic in Florida Nursing

    Are you in nursing school? Is this paper for a nursing class? I'm asking because a good fundamentals book will have not only information on the history of nursing, but it will also discuss the many...

    I cried in class today

    donsterRN replied to JdNNurse2B's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Please, folks, remember that everyone has an opinion and is entitled to it on this very polarizing and controversial issue. I would ask that we remain on topic, and debate the issue, not the poster....

    Gay labeling, is it just plain mean? Or sexual harrassment?

    donsterRN replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in Men in Nursing

    Strong offense? Why? Aren't there worse

    I'm so stressed out right now. Any words/advice?

    donsterRN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt it was for the pot; if you were never convicted, then it wouldn't (shouldn't) matter, even if the records still existed. No convictions is no convictions. It really bites that you cannot get...

    I'm so stressed out right now. Any words/advice?

    donsterRN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have any idea why they would want to fire you? Anybody in your facility making it difficult for you? You seem very sure about your gut feeling, and I'm just wondering

    Denied......

    donsterRN replied to Cls62011's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This is absolutely the perfect response. Apply not only to the BSN programs, but the ADN's too. Get an Associates, begin working as an RN, and pursue your BSN then. Many hospitals will help you...

    Valsalva manoevre

    donsterRN replied to tahnz0's topic in General Nursing

    I thought the same thing; we were taught that the Valsalva maneuver was bearing down as if one was to evacuate the bowels. This is supposed to increase the internal pressure, etc. and deprive the...

    Unrealistic steriotypes of medicine on TV
