  2. Tums makes GERD worse?

    SkiMama replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Yep... I learned this in chem. The neutralization is short lived and the body reacts by upping the

  3. Grading dilemma... what do YOU think?

    SkiMama replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    I would discuss this with your instructor. I had a single professor EVER do this. We took an exam and when everyone was finished we got into groups of 4 or 5 and re took it together. If the group got...

  4. Was this a A Violation of Hipaa?

    SkiMama replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a HIPAA violation, though maybe not directly. If someone cannot speak English we are supposed to have a translator come help with assessment, not utilize the help of a family member....

  5. Backpack for school

    SkiMama replied to SkiMama's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I thought about doing that. I didn't know what would be available on Ipad, and don't want to spend the $500 for only a few books. Plus I like the feel of a book in my hand. Never got into the ereader...

  8. Evolution of your specialty interests

    SkiMama replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

    Interesting! I have always thought I'd like a more challenging area. I joined the military when I was 18 and am not a fan of monotony. I like to be challenged and feel the adrenaline rush.... I do not...

  9. No gloves ever?!?

    SkiMama replied to dizzyray822's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I realize that I have a lot to learn. I am about to enter nursing school. I recall something called nosocomial infections being stressed in my micro class... um yikes!?! No matter how little one...

  10. What are your hospitals policies for calling in sick?

    SkiMama replied to freesia29's topic in General Nursing

    Call your nurse manager or volunteer services and ask! I have volunteered in the NICU and it is an absolute no no to come in even with a sniffle. I think that even goes for the nurses. Other areas? I...

    That is fantastic SD! I followed the CU app thread last year and was heartbroken for you when you did not get in So this is great news! Enjoy your time before your program starts and good luck in...

  13. Maybe I'm just old and cynical, but....

    SkiMama replied to KaroSnowQueen's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I agree. When I started reading these boards and saw so many posters lecturing others about motives for nursing...there have been a whole lotta discussions stating that if you are in it for the money,...

  14. Lost varicella immunity?

    SkiMama replied to SkiMama's topic in General Nursing

    Wow so this is more common than I thought. I am still good on everything else, so I will go ahead and be grateful that I only have to do my varicella

  15. Lost varicella immunity?

    SkiMama replied to SkiMama's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you! For some reason my verbal history of having had chicken pox was always good enough (2 hospital volunteer jobs). I was tested for my nursing program and was suprised to find out I was no...

  16. iTalk?

    SkiMama replied to SkiMama's topic in General Students

    Really? I have never recorded lectures and graduated with my first BS degree with excellent grades, so I didn't feel I needed one. Now I am going into an AC-BSN program and thought, with the pace of...

  17. iTalk?

    SkiMama posted a topic in General Students

    Does anyone use this to record lectures? Do you have opinions on it or any other recorders out there?

  18. Disrespectful, Lazy CNAs who bully

    SkiMama replied to NurseyPoo7's topic in General Nursing

    I work in LTC as a therapy aide. There is 1 unit I prefer not to work on b/c experience has taught me that the aides there will do anything to get out of doing their job. If I need help with a heavy...

  19. RN vs MA vs LPN

    SkiMama replied to Nicole74's topic in General Students

    Yeah nothing like getting paid less for more work! Overall I think it depends on the facility and how well they abide by the rules of what duties each professional is allowed to

  20. Where Do You Study???

    SkiMama replied to WandererRNBSN's topic in General Students

    I am a total extrovert and draw energy from others. Most of my best studying happens right in the middle of my home where chaos is ensuing. It's ridiculous, I know. I have my books and things out and...

  22. Death and Dying Cultural Report Topic Needed

    SkiMama replied to Amysuenu's topic in General Students

    You could do a comparative discussion of how grief is handled across several cultures. It would open things up a bit and there is such variety in how grieving is socially accepted across the globe....
