  1. Would you consider a company car a HIPAA violation

    Metody replied to HHN2472's topic in Home Health

    If the patient doesn't even want neighbors knowing they receive care, I bet they think our disconnected and private society is just fine, and don't want to reach out to the neighbors for help. I don't...

  2. Habits you picked up from work...

    Metody replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    Sometimes I open napkins a fast food places like I'm setting up a sterile field, if they're folded right.I like to do dressing changes as quickly as possible, so I set everything up before hand - a...

  3. Sucide lies: is it CYA or blaming?

    Metody replied to Tiffanybaybay's topic in Emergency

    Just because a patient is calm doesn't mean they've stopped being suicidal. Sometimes it means they've finally figured out how to do it, and all their worries are going to be lifted. It's very...

  4. Nurse hand me the...

    Metody replied to mindy1982's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm sure that if it damaged the machine, you would have heard ALL about it! It's kind of impressive that they can handle that much

    Metody replied to mindy1982's topic in Nursing Humor

    Oh, wow. Did they have to recalibrate the

  6. Should smokers be admitted into the nursing program?

    Metody replied to Elly Aker's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    This kind of idea might appear good on the surface, but is the start of a very slippery slope. Once you start forcing your nurses to be healthy, well, why not the patients? Shouldn't we hold them to...

  7. How do you guys carry your stuff at Clincal?

    Metody replied to kk83's topic in General Students

    Left inner pocket, in an organizer my sister got me: pen, penlight, scissors, credit card, ID, bus pass. Hair pins, too - I slip them through the holes in the accudose envelopes, so I can pin...

  8. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    Metody replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    It's a big deal because it's seen as being disrespectful to the person the placenta came from. It might not matter to you, but what if it matters to them? There are people who would be very...

  9. Overweight Nurse?

    Metody replied to MissKatie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I currently weigh 250 and I'm 5'4, which puts me well over a BMI of 40. I'm a 200 level student, which means I'm only halfway through. I've been going to clinicals for about a year. So. Some things...

  10. Time of the month in light colored scrubs

    Metody replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    My school allows lab coats. I wear mine to every clinical, just in case - its nice for the warmth, too. It's long enough that it covers my bum, which makes me feel much more secure. Beyond that, I...

  11. Squeaking by and want my BSN

    Metody posted a topic in General Students

    Because of a nasty combination of weather and miscommunication, I missed a test in pharmacology. I've done very well otherwise - I got a C on one test, but all the others are high Bs and low As. I'm...

  12. PERLA

    Metody replied to tbell2's topic in General Students

    If it helps any, accomodation looks kind of like the eyes are slightly crossing and the pupils are getting smaller as the finger or pen moves closer to the bridge of the nose. It's best to wait a...

  13. What type of drug tests do nursing schools do?

    Metody replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    I've never heard of drug testing with a buccal swab and I can't find much information on it online. Do you know what they were testing for? It sounds a heck of a lot nicer than getting blood drawn...

  14. What type of drug tests do nursing schools do?

    Metody replied to jillebean's topic in General Students

    We peed in a cup. Then they tested it right in front of you by dipping a sort of sheet of different strips into it. Instant results! It was kind of cool, actually, despite the embarrassment of...

  15. Is it ever appropriate to tell someone...

    Metody replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    I think I would consider why the person is struggling first. There is a big difference between having problems because you have no grounding in science or haven't taken math since the early nineties,...

  16. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    Metody replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    What the heck are you supposed to do for books for the first 2-3 weeks of class? If you've got a 12 week semester, you can't spend 1/6 of the entire class doing

  17. STOP - Don't buy your textbooks from the school bookstore

    Metody replied to DolceVita's topic in General Students

    If you can't get the ISBN number from the bookstore, you could just ask the teacher for it. All the teachers I know care more about their students getting the books than they do about the bookstore...

  18. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    Metody replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    That'd be sort of great. Lots of personalized attention, plus when we look for jobs, we can look interviewers in the eye and say, "I was one of the top ten students in my graduating class. That's...

  19. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    Metody replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I can't find the page now, but I remember it said Nutrition and A&P I and II (only transferable as a pair) and some other stuff. I think Microbiology was there too. Guess I'd better call them on...

  20. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    Metody replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I'm going full time. I've already taken A&P and Nutrition. Do they let you take other classes in the slots that would have been filled by those, or do you just have some extra study hours free?...

  21. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    Metody replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I got in! I got in! It was dated the 22nd, so they've *just* started out sending them. Mine was held over from last semester, so I think I might have been right up at the head of the line. Any...

  22. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    Metody replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Oh, good! And thankyou! I think I'll do well if I don't panic the night before and stay up until 5 am, sitting in a corner and wheezing. I'm kind of at the point that I want to just get the darned...

  23. Anyone Starting At UPMC Shadyside School of Nursing?

    Metody replied to ChristineN's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Does anyone know about how much your transcripts count for admission? Mine are awful, but in an unrelated field - everything that could relate to nursing (basic background courses, CPR, Nutrition,...
