  1. Disturbed Energy Field

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    If something, ANYTHING helps a person feel better from pain or cancer treatments or whatever, I am in full support of it. However, the issue here is not that we're just a bunch of grumpy jerks who...

  2. Where do TWU Dallas Nurses Live?

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to utstudent03's topic in Texas Nursing

    Absolutely use the public transportation if you can. You'll knock out so much studying on the way to and from, and no stress from driving! We are very lucky in the d/fw area because we actually have...

  3. Disturbed Energy Field

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to avatar78's topic in General Students

    Wow, you completely missed the point of the post you quoted, and I'm not sure you even read it at all. This is the crux of this whole issue. On the first day of my RN program, all of my instructors...

  4. French nurse student look for "penfriend"

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Judith1981's topic in General Students

    Bonjour! J'aime parler francais, alors je peut aidez-vous avec votre anglais! Do you like nursing school in France? What areas do people want to work in in France? A plus tard!

  5. Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    Then I am positive you are going to find something you like! Best of luck! :) Keep working at it, that is the

  6. Fed Up With People Saying There Is a Shortage

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to NewTexasRN's topic in General Nursing

    This right here lies at the core of why people gripe and moan about how they think that there isn't really a nursing shortage. Yes, there is. It's well-documented, it is statistically a fact. For...

  7. What I learned my first year as a nurse. (Things they don't teach in nursing school.)

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Students

    LOL. It might disturb you to know how many around here don't know what it means. We all had to take A and P right? This is 100% my philosophy regarding nursing. I've heard way too many of my...

  8. What I learned my first year as a nurse. (Things they don't teach in nursing school.)

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to 3sodapop's topic in General Students

    Awesome post. Nursing is an evidence based practice, with quite a bit of education crammed into a small amount of time. I agree with you that in order to be taken more seriously (as so many on here...

  9. This monster careplan is taking 4ever !

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Huh, fancy that. Guess it shows all the differences at different

  10. This monster careplan is taking 4ever !

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Well that's not what I'd call a 'care plan'. That sounds like what we turn in as our weekly clinical ppwk. The actual care plan part of that is 1 page, possibly 2 at

  11. This monster careplan is taking 4ever !

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Yeah this CAN'T be right, can it? My care plans are literally one page per diagnosis. What the heck are you guys doing over

  12. Maggot Debridement Therapy

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

    I just found out about this today. This is incredible! They're even using it to treat MRSA now, which is a good thing, because I'm assuming there's no way to get resistant to maggots.

  13. Scared to death of doing a foley insertion.

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN posted a topic in General Students

    I hate that I'm like this, I've had no other big fears thus far in nursing school. All the other 'gross stuff' hasn't made me flinch even a small amount. But foleys. Oh god, foleys. I've never seen...

  14. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Here's an article to further drive the point home. Look at some of these comments from someone in our own government! http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2009/03/05/1821956.aspx These are the same...

  15. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Wow, a guy who works for the Fraser Institute writing an article against universal health care? The same Fraser Institute that is nothing more than a crappy libertarian think tank? Quelle surprise....

  16. Socialized medicine and nurses pay...

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to RochesterRN-BSN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    We laugh, but I fully intend to get the hell out of here once I graduate. Between reading the threads here, and talking to most people, I've resigned myself to the fact that most people don't know a...

  17. Scared to death of doing a foley insertion.

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Students

    Thank you. This does give me some perspective. I had't thought before how many people are probably already quite uncomfortable/in pain when you are ordered to do a cath, so maybe they won't even...

  18. Scared to death of doing a foley insertion.

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Students

    I'm not a bit afraid of touching a member. It would, to say the least, not be the first time by a long shot. What I'm really afraid of is the disparity between how big the hole is in the mannikin,...

  19. Scared to death of doing a foley insertion.

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Koyaanisqatsi-RN's topic in General Students

    that's a good video, but they don't do the procedure on a real live person. i guess that would be hard to get video of. the main problem as i see it as the urethral opening on those mannikins look...

  20. need help for first care plan

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    Isn't it bad to mention this much about our patients? What are we allowed to post on here regarding that? Sorry for the derail, I've just always

  21. Sexual Misconduct at work

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to evilolive's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah this is important. Spanking isn't really appropriate at work regardless of whatever else, but if they were just playing around and she was fine with it, then they probably just need to be told to...

  22. Health Provisions Slipped into Stimulus Package

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to CinnScorpStudent's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Very few people are actually like this. Most people however, feel they are owed at least basic health care. Much in the same way they are owed police and fire protection. You would agree that police...

  23. News Article about "Nursing Shortage!"

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Neveranurseagain's topic in General Nursing

    Can't wait to hear all the garbage about how there 'really isn't a nursing shortage' Yes, we get it. You hate new nurses. You think the schools are just "churning out new grads" (because it was SO...

  24. Health Care Reform---If You Were Congress

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to Riseupandnurse's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Well said, RN4MERCY. One of the key things I would also ensure is NO PRE-EXISTING CONDITION EXCLUSIONS. That is an utterly absurd ingredient in the crap-sandwich known as private insurance. It is...

  25. The dirty work?

    Koyaanisqatsi-RN replied to viablecalifornialove's topic in General Students

    This is what I was talking about with some nurses who exaggerate and describe a bunch of ridiculous scenarios about all the stuff they do. I think it's bad because all it does is encourage the...
