    Careplan for....

    CrunchyMama posted a topic in General Students

    How do you ace tests?

    CrunchyMama replied to lalastudent's topic in General Students

    We've taken 3 tests so far. 1st one I got an 88, the 2nd I got a 90 and the 3rd, the grades aren't up yet. I honestly don't know how I'm doing so good and I wasn't expecting this. The tests are so...

    CrunchyMama replied to CrunchyMama's topic in General Students

    Sorry...I wasn't clear. Our prof. doesn't require us to do highest priority 1st. We can do whatever we want from the Maslow triangle....as long as it pertains to the pt. I've done pain and infection...

    You got some good responses so I won't repeat anything. Just wanted to add... I took metformin while TTC for both my kids. I tried much longer but I was on it for 4 months both times and finally got...

    Ethical Issue- Nurses not getting flu vaccine when they could!

    CrunchyMama replied to Aaron86's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually....these diseases were on the decline just before vaccines were introduced. So it seemed like vaccines did the world good. I ran across a chart awhile ago and it showed the rate of diseases...

    CrunchyMama replied to Aaron86's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Ok, understood. So your beef is with those wanting only the shot and NOT the nasal spray? Well, if I were to pick between the 2, I would go with the shot too. There's no way I would shoot something up...

    OB "Freebies"

    CrunchyMama replied to malone2192's topic in Ob/Gyn
