    luv2yoga replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

  8. What to do when U know others are cheating...(in classes)

    luv2yoga replied to KBnursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    At my school, if you have knowledge of cheating and don't report it, they consider that a serious honor code violation. I sure would write up an anonymous note and send it off quick so that this...

    luv2yoga replied to chiliwings's topic in Nursing Career

  12. From Computer Science to Nursing.. need help!

    luv2yoga replied to chiliwings's topic in Nursing Career

    Yes, there is exactly the thing you're thinking of, it's calling nursing informatics. Do a search on it and read those threads. I must share that I work in IT right now (I'm planning to quit and start...

  15. Help me!!!

    luv2yoga replied to jheath27's topic in General Nursing

    I am worried about this. For me, it's the needles (esp IV) although when I watched a brain autopsy a few weeks back, I had to leave the room twice. It's a very interesting thing, I can feel the...

  19. Divorce & Nursing

    luv2yoga replied to NorthStar's topic in General Nursing

    luv2yoga replied to iliel's topic in General Nursing

  23. Take optional A&P I lab?

    luv2yoga posted a topic in General Students

    The lab for my A&P I class is optional. Should I take it? It says in the catalog it's a CBT class, which I guess means that you go and sit in front of a PC without an instructor....there is class...

  24. Tell me I'll get over needle fear

    luv2yoga replied to luv2yoga's topic in Nursing Career

    I just went back and read all of these, thanks for taking the time to respond. I do feel better. I thought I must be the only nurse-to-be with this problem (or at least, the only one this bad), now I...
