  1. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    back2thebooks replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    Congratulations to

  2. Should a nursing student be given a 2nd chance if they have a positive drug screen

    back2thebooks replied to PEBBLES1's topic in General Students

    I say no 2nd chance at this point. Rehabilitated...MAYBE....but only after a proven track record of staying clean. We are all adults and we must suffer the consequences of our actions---otherwise, to...

  3. Would you have breast reconstruction surgery after a mastectomy?

    back2thebooks replied to FE710's topic in General Students

    It's so hard to say without being in that situation, but I can speculate....I probably would, for the reasons truern listed. It would be very challenging to find a dress or a bathing suit with a...

  4. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    back2thebooks replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    That must have been what was practiced with my Grandfather. When he talked to the nurses about plowing the fields that morning, they didn't insist that he hadn't (when, in fact, he hadn't farmed in...

  5. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    back2thebooks replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    Perhaps I did not express myself the way in which I intended. I interpreted the word "challenge" as 'to dispute.' Inform....yes. Encourage....yes. Dispute....No. eg. if he was saying that it was...

  6. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    back2thebooks replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    As did I. I guess I better start thinking differently NOW! (not starting NS until next

  7. This was a question on our test today. What do you think the answer is?

    back2thebooks replied to APRNReneeJ's topic in General Students

    Another A answer here. Why would you challenge the client to view the world and himself in a more realistic manner---you will surely lose that battle. I think A is worded poorly. The word...

  8. Want to know some tv shows about nurses

    back2thebooks replied to Lucia cong's topic in General Students

    I remember a show in the 80's called Nurses. It was a spinoff of Empty Nest. I don't think it lasted too long, but you may be able to catch old reruns if you have tons of channels......

  9. A&P 1 - Spring 2009

    back2thebooks replied to Sand_Dollar's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We were supposed to have our first test next Tuesday (we meet once per week), but we also had a class cancellation due to ice storms. So, it buys me a little time to go over the chapters again and...

  10. I'm Sooooo Intimidated!!!!

    back2thebooks replied to NursingStudent!'s topic in General Students

    I am hoping to be accepted to begin NS in Spring '10. I can tell you that I have already had momentary freak outs like you are having, but they are swiftly eradicated because I *know* that I can...

  11. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    back2thebooks replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    WHAT---ever. It's 2009 for goodness sake,

  12. Enough is enough: Get out of my wallet.

    back2thebooks replied to Bortaz's topic in General Students

    First, I had to laugh----I thought we were the only household who used the phrase 'fartknocker'...my husband and I commonly refer to our children (not in front of them, of course) as 'little...

  13. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    back2thebooks replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, I guess you are right. Working or on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a

  14. Flash Cards?

    back2thebooks replied to Java Mama's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just started last week, too. I bought the Netter's Anatomy Flash Cards, but so far, we've only worked on the basics---chemistry, basic definitions, etc.---so, I made some of my own for those. I...

  15. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

    back2thebooks replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

    I got a Bachelor's 12 years ago, so it's like I am starting over with regards to finding the study habits that work for me. After reading your post, I was thinking...'wow, we do the exact same thing'...

  16. How many study hours per night (do you average?)

    back2thebooks replied to Equinox_93's topic in General Students

    Flashcards, digital recorder, learning your best learning style and following the principles of adult learning (10 min break for every 50 min of study). For me, I am a slow reader. I actually read a...

  17. Student nurse with the baby itch. Help!

    back2thebooks replied to linds24's topic in General Students

    You know how they say that Motherhood totally changes your life? Amplify that statement times one million. Seriously. Nobody can prepare you for Motherhood---it is wonderful, do not get me wrong--but...

  18. Would you work during nursing school if you didn't have to?

    back2thebooks replied to justme1972's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am in the same position as you. I (thanks to my dear husband) do not have to work. I have been a SAHM for over 4 years. I personally would not voluntarily work while in nursing school, but that's...

  19. Back to being an ugly nursing student

    back2thebooks replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    Another great and quick product is Bare Escentuals' "Well Rested for eyes"...

  20. Back to being an ugly nursing student

    back2thebooks replied to lovehospital's topic in General Students

    My husband tells me he fell in love with me the first time he saw me in grubby clothes and no makeup. I do wear makeup and fix my hair, but it is not a "must"---I have no problem going out of the...

  21. really scared of my pt tomorrow

    back2thebooks replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    All schools that I know of in my area go to the hospitals the day before clinical, so you complete the care plan (at least in the beginning clinicals). BTW..aside from the colostomy....your patient...

  22. What's so bad about working for the VA?

    back2thebooks replied to Buggus's topic in General Nursing

    I think it really depends on the location, administration, etc. Here in Dallas, our VA was ranked as the worst in the country a couple of years ago. My husband has worked the facility and says the...

  23. A&P1 study group

    back2thebooks replied to ANEWME's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My book has something similar, but 3-5 questions at the end of each section (probably amounts to something like 25-30 questions per chapter. So far, I like the book---the sequence of learning makes...

  24. A&P II Spring 2009, anyone?

    back2thebooks replied to Nepenthe Sea's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm feeling like I am the only student in the whole wide world who is using my book (in reality, I know this isn't true, but it feels like

  25. Why is it top secret? ;) (grades)

    back2thebooks replied to Miss_Piggy.RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    WOW. Really? I never would imagine this kind of stuff happens. I would think that professors would have a fear of being caught and losing their
