  1. Gay Nurses... help!

    I just have to throw my two cents in too (wasn't going to, but I haven't slept in a while, so I'm chatty). This is what I don't get about straight guys. Why do so many of them think all gay men would...
  2. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    I'm a chick, and I've been hit on by a male nursing student and a male nurse at clinicals. Both knew I was married. I only know one gay student nurse. I would have thought ole Gaylord Fauker from...
  3. How are you allowed to take AP I & II in the same semester? I admit I don't know everything about every college, but at most schools, the pre-req for A&P II is A&P I. Even at one college,...
  4. This is really inspiring. My mom, sister and brother are dyslexic. I know my mom would love to be a nurse (she has worked in home care for years just assisting with ADLs). I just realized how old...
  5. I just thought about this from another post in the students section because there was a question about a teacher who didn't like CNA's. In my assessment lab, I was the ONLY one who had ZERO medical...
  6. Since I took it out of the classroom, I'll put it back there. There's a girl who always (without fail) sits next to me in my nursing and bio classes and during the lecture, the instructor will tell...
  7. This has definitely impacted me enough to want a full cardiac work-up of myself. I live in constant sinus tachy (usually just over 100/bpm), but my B/P is good (around 110-115/70-75). However, I'm a...
  8. No, he was off the unit when I got back. I don't know if they transferred him to another unit or another hospital. There are 2 TCU floors at my hospital, so he may have been on the other floor when I...
  9. Daytonight, I really do appreciate the help! I have just had cardiac med/surg but they didn't go that indepth because I'm supposed to get more specialized in my 8th quarter when I do ACLS. So they...
  10. Thanks! That does help. Now I'm just concerned about the cardiac element. I'm thinking I picked a bad patient to do this paper on. I didn't realize how hard it would be to come up with a nursing dx...
  11. Personally, I think NANDA didn't create enough nursing diagnoses so that they could be adapted to the patient. When I come up with a "good" diagnosis, I find that most of the time it doesn't even...
  12. I think what annoys me most are nurses who treat nursing students like garbage. Yesterday, one of my patients had a rapid response that I called when he past out while ambulating with physical therapy...
