That, to me is a very judgmental remark...I don't believe that you can judge a nursing program on how it is delivered...some of us have no choice to take online classes to further our nursing, and taking them from reputable schools too.... That being said, I would go further up the chain for a resolution to your grade issue...I have to deal with online or proctored exams which utilize computer exams generated by my professors, and quizzes and assignments marked by an actual human being...both have a margin for error. You must have done it right, otherwise you wouldn't have gotten any mark.

Mine is a play on words..........when I was little my Grandfather called my his Bunny. It stuck and that was my nickname.........so I just took a type of bunny, which also plays on my last name............voila..........Loppear!

Well ya'll come on up here! We have a nursing shortage as well, more nurses will help us out. And its not really any colder than living in North Dakota.........or Montana........any of your northern States.........you'd get used to it!!!!!!!

originally posted 01/03/04 on the UK Nurses Forum No Lift Policy in our Health District In our Health Region, and pretty much all over the province (I believe), we have a strict no lift policy. We are trained in TLR... Transferring, Lifting and Repositioning. "Minimal amount of effort with the maximum use of equipment'. This training is offered by SAHO, Saskatchewan Association of Health Organizations. And in most facilities, you are expected to hold a certificate in TLR before allowed to work. This training teaches us to use good body mechanics, and there is certain criteria that a client or patient must meet to fit into different catagories of transfers and moves. Independent Transfer Supervised Transfer Minimum Assistance Transfer One-person Transfer with Belt One-person Transfer with Belt and assistant Sit/Stand Lift Total Lift We also use slider sheets, draw sheets and boards to move clients from bed to chair etc. Now all this being said, there are times when you have to tug, pull, push, and rotate, twist, and bend over. It isn't always possible to follow the techniques exactly, but for the most part, it is good training to have. It cuts back on the amount of injuries nurses and caregivers get and probably claims to Workers Compensation for injuries on the job. I have no idea how that works, it has never happened to me so I am not sure of the whole process. So we have a No Lift Policy in effect here. This has been in place for a number of years I believe.

I have a fellow student in Anatomy class that ABSOLUTLEY INSISTS on calling prostate = PROSTRATE....drives me nuts, and no matter how many times she has been corrected on it, she still persists!!!!! She also likes to answer questions..........but if she is not sure of her answer or how to say it, she drops her voice down so low that no one can hear her anyway! I figure, if you want to answer the question, say it out loud and proud.......if you are wrong, someone will correct you! That is how I learn, from my mistakes! I also had someone tell me one time that Aunt Flo and Uncle Plug had come to visit her.........Well I got the Aunt Flo, but the Uncle Plug was a new one!!!!!!! I LMAO!!! I felt soooo stupid asking her what Uncle Plug meant!!!! I also had a elderly client who mentioned her 'kitty'..........didn't have to ask about that one.............!!!! We should write a book..............What should we call it? ROTFLMAO!!!!!! :rotfl:
