    Did I do something wrong????

    donsterRN replied to texas_lvn's topic in General Nursing

    I'll bet that's it, too. I also love how he (the DON) is the one talking about being disrespected. These people seem to feel that respect is owed to them just because. I try to treat everyone with...

    Anatomy and physiology HELP NURSING SCHOOL

    donsterRN replied to araujojr's topic in General Students

    I think what you'll find is that a lot of nursing study requires a knowledge of A&P. Which means that either the instructors will go over what you need to know OR they'll assume you know it. In...

    donsterRN replied to Ladycat092's topic in Massachusetts Nursing

    I don't understand your question. Are you going to go to nursing school or medical school? Two different

    Nursing or Medicine???

    donsterRN replied to tymer06's topic in Nursing Career

    Just an observation here... Nursing is not a backup in case medicine doesn't pan out. I think you should love whatever it is you choose to pursue, but we're talking about two completely different...

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

    Well, I passed Comp 1 with an A; I am 1 week into the 5 week Comp 2. I take the CPR recert this Thurs and Fri, and cancelled the Sociology CLEP. I'll worry about that later. Good luck to us

    Anyone getting in shape?

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

    Thank you so much for your tips, suggestions and your encouragement! This is definitely one of the most difficult undertakings to start, but I've found that sharing the experience and really just...

    Anyone getting in shape?

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

    Nothing more than handweights (5 lb each) during the last 20 minutes of cardio. My long term goal was initially to lose about 75 lbs. Since beginning the exercise about 3 mos ago, and now SBD x3 wks,...

    Male nurse crying!!!

    donsterRN replied to ClassQ1's topic in Men in Nursing

    Despite the one single declaration here to the contrary, of course men cry. Ever pull a nose hair? Ouch. It's difficult to know what triggers some emotions and what doesn't. Locally, we had a...

    Anyone getting in shape?

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

    It appears that the poster has made a request to be left alone, and that should be respected. One of the responders has indicated that this is an issue for which people will have to agree to...

    Healthier Living Thread Part IV

    donsterRN replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I've never really thought that the eggs were much of a problem, and they're encouraged by the Doc who wrote the South Beach diet. During the first phase of the diet, I was eating eggs almost every...

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

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

    I love this thread! I'm somewhat new to fitness and nutrition for myself, so I'm learning all sorts of new things, and how they relate to my own well being. I do 45 minutes of cardio exercise...

    Am I too old to start a nursing career?

    donsterRN replied to toledogal's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm ditto-ing all of the above! I'm 49 and starting the nursing courses this fall. I'll be 51 at graduation, and the poster who said that age is just a number is certainly correct. We're gonna get...

    I know this is wrong - but how wrong is it?

    donsterRN replied to papergirlRN's topic in General Nursing

    If Jane is a nurse at the local hospital, she already knows all about HIPAA. Not only is she aware of it, she's signed documentation that she's aware of it and the penalties for violating it. She...

    Male nurse looks

    donsterRN replied to albert6jed's topic in Men in Nursing

    If it's a school rule, just remember that school is temporary and they won't own you forever... In the early to mid 70's my hair was stick-straight down almost to my waist. Lots of guys were. My...

    BSN Nurse to Doctor degree~ need an advice please!

    donsterRN replied to churro's topic in General Nursing

    Are you speaking about a Medical Doctor (MD)? Becoming a BSN prepared nurse is not a shortcut to becoming a doctor; they are two separate and distinct disciplines. Medical school requires 4 years of...

    The University of Phoenix online for BSN???

    donsterRN replied to raindrop's topic in General Nursing

    I have no first hand knowledge of it, but I can tell you that four of my nursing instructors received their MSN's from UoP. It seems to be very highly

    CNA's calling in/writing prescriptions

    donsterRN replied to phelan26's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, I think there are lots of things wrong with the scenario you've described. I've never heard of a CNA phoning prescriptions in. Never. Doesn't sound like a good habit to be getting into, does...
