  1. Eastern Michigan RN-BSN program

    LittleCatB replied to rn2bn07's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I have a friend who got her BSN this way through MCCC in Monroe... She said it was one Tuesday class a week for 2 years. There was a semester of clinicals- I think she said any community-based...

  2. I send pt home with heplocks!!

    LittleCatB replied to luce2008's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Honestly I think in the scheme of things that's a pretty small error... If I make a mistake I try not to freak unless it could hurt the patient- and there are so many things that could go wrong,...

  3. How many times have you cried???

    LittleCatB replied to CareBayer's topic in First Year After Licensure

    OMG, nursefancy, I've had sooo many nights like this... I've had every incident you describe happen! and yeah, I'm a crier, big time... this first year of nursing has been the most emotional year of...

  4. Am I in trouble?

    LittleCatB replied to nursetutor's topic in General Nursing

    Don't be afraid to call your unit and pass on info like that, I do it quite a bit and always feel so much better. (and then I can fall sleep, too- I work a night shift and my brain goes through every...

  5. heard something about TCC...

    LittleCatB replied to LanaBanana's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    hmmm.. OK, from the question it seems like her values and beliefs regarding weight are already centered on weight loss right now... OK I'm lost so the first thing that ran through my head was, "ABC's...

  6. heard something about TCC...

    LittleCatB replied to LanaBanana's topic in Oklahoma Nursing

    Was it stress keeping the bag below the bladdar? I have my theory instructor's "doctor's treat the illness! nurses are best at prevention!" rant running through my head right

  7. Where to find a pink lab coat?

    LittleCatB posted a topic in General Nursing

    anyone? I've looked (what seems like) everywhere online, I called a few stores, and I did a search here... My MIL mentioned wanting one, so I thought it'd make a nice Christmas present. I did...

  8. Where to find a pink lab coat?

    LittleCatB replied to LittleCatB's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks everyone for your suggestions! mtnmom, I mulled over dying a lab coat but doing stuff like that tends to lead to disaster for me. :chuckle I decided to get her a cotton candy pink jacket-y...

  9. How many of y'all......

    LittleCatB replied to Joebird21's topic in Emergency

    I'm in the same situation... I already have violently gagged in front of a patient and since I managed to turn my head and stay out of their line of sight they didn't seem to notice. Breathing...

  10. Poll: Do you use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer as an adjunct to handwashing?

    LittleCatB replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    Aquafor helps... Slather it on at night. Also, it sounds gross, but clip and/or file the dry skin on the tips of your fingers, around where the skin cracked- and then keep up with lightly filing it...

  11. What does your spouse do?

    LittleCatB replied to vaughanmk's topic in General Nursing

    I'd love for my husband to do that! He's way better at cooking, cleaning, and just about anything domestic-related than me. He's also a darn good father. But right now, he's an auto worker for one...

  12. Thankless at times, downright mean others!

    LittleCatB replied to Antikigirl's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I work in a group home with developmentally disabled women... one woman there is verbally abusive, so I have a lot of replies that head her off at the pass... like she'll say "you SMELL!!" and I'll...

  13. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    LittleCatB replied to Jo Anne -OLD's topic in General Nursing

    I've asked people similar things (not "are you real nurse", though!! ack!) like "what's your degree, what do you do", etc.- because I'm a wannabe nursing student (BSN or ADN- wherever I can get in at...

  14. "How old are you?"

    LittleCatB replied to jaimealmostRN's topic in General Nursing

    I used to waitress at a bar and if I had to card someone in a group, I'd card everybody in the group if they looked under 35-ish. This started when I had a bad experience and inadvertantly offended...

  15. When One Child Is Enough

    LittleCatB replied to Spidey's mom's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Oooh, I feel the same way... I do think that legally women should have a choice. But I don't understand her reasoning. Why would she deliberately become pregnant when it sounds like she didn't want...

  16. MR. YUK is mean, MR. YUK is green.

    LittleCatB replied to oramar's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    I found something on e-bay!!! It's a Mr Yuk memory game... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=35&item=3684860479&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW or use this URL...

  17. Will Non-BSN nurses ever be fired?

    LittleCatB replied to AcosmicRN's topic in General Nursing

    hah! I ranted in the same way to my sister (I just can't believe all the red tape I'm running into trying to just get into nursing school) Her advice was to "just roll over and take it" :rotfl:...

  18. Floridian Looking to fly North

    LittleCatB replied to RobbieAllee's topic in New York Nursing

    My (pretty much uneducated) opinion (just from a brief 4-day visit, staying in times square LOL) is that people in NYC are incredibly friendly... I couldn't believe it, going out to the bar I don't...

  19. Why are you REALLY going into nursing? Honest answers please.

    LittleCatB replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I must admit, I probably would be choosing a different profession if the job security and flexibility wasn't there. Also the idea of a living wage!!! I've never had a reliable job that made more...

  20. Are u extremely organized and meticulous?

    LittleCatB replied to susanna's topic in General Nursing

  21. Nuvaring

    LittleCatB replied to kat983's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I use it, I love not having any "uh-oh" I forgot my pill moments, LOL. Except I have gained weight- that little side effect makes me want to go back to Yasmin. I say give it a try and see, switch...

  22. Shingles? At MY age??

    LittleCatB replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Out of curiosity I looked up the immunization requirements for FL (the state she's in) and it looks like you're correct: http://www.doh.state.fl.us/disease_ctrl/immune/schoolguide.pdf I checked it...

  23. Shingles? At MY age??

    LittleCatB replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    My very healthy (but stressed) 26 yr. old sister got the shingles on her *face*... Her reaction was the same as yours! She's a 1st grade teacher and her doctor told her she could go into work......

  24. Patient confidentiality and husbands

    LittleCatB replied to AndyLyn's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, I appereciate that! not that knowing it was wrong for sure makes a difference now except it makes me feel better for being so upset at the time... Sorry to the OP, I didn't mean to make...

  25. Patient confidentiality and husbands

    LittleCatB replied to AndyLyn's topic in General Nursing

    I have a question about patient confidentiality. I had to have a LEEP procedure done for dysplasia about a year ago... I didn't tell my parents and most of my family about it... (I didn't feel like...
