2. Help me save my poor hands

   animal1993 replied to wmg246's topic in General Nursing

   I really like Glove Me Tender from Bath & Body Works. Also, when my hands get really cracked and sore, I have been known to slather on some Desitin (reg. not creamy) while I watch tv. I'm always...

3. Bohecker Accreditation

   animal1993 replied to Heavenly4505's topic in Ohio Nursing

   That will all depend on whether or not Bohecker completely loses their accreditation with the OBON. Right now, they have Provisional approval, which means they used to have Full approval, but lost it...

   Typically, you will find out after HESI. Unfortunately, you will probably find that it will cause a lot of drama among your classmates--I have heard from multiple sources that it was said that I...

7. The first time you ever used a needle and/or cath

   animal1993 replied to Lala27poodles's topic in General Nursing

   I haven't started an IV on anyone, yet, but I have given many injections. I have also done foley catheters (all female). None of them were too bad. I think if you really know your catheter...

   animal1993 replied to tallandrew1982's topic in Ohio Nursing

   Hello again! First term isn't really too bad. The only class you are required to take is A&P I, because you have already taken all of the gen eds for that term (they're the ones you took in the...

    animal1993 replied to krn_hd's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Atkins is hands down the most effective way I have ever lost weight. (You just have to have the willpower to keep going with it!) I don't consider it to be a "fad diet"--if you really think about...

12. HESI during Nursing school?

    animal1993 replied to ghurricane's topic in General Nursing

    That is exactly why they do it. They know that if you do well on HESI, you are more than likely to do well on NCLEX. My school requires an 850 on the exit HESI in order to graduate. They have it...

    animal1993 replied to inteRN's topic in Emergency

    First bolded sentence--If you really knew me, you would realize that I have zero interest in anyone's sympathy. Again, I was simply trying to add some perspective to the "discussion". Second bolded...

    Hmm....OK. I'm not sure I'm following you on that one. The OP started a discussion about drug seekers, and how ER staff deal with them. In addition to sharing one of my own personal experiences...
