  1. Are We "Glorifying" Nurses?

    canigraduate replied to nynursey_'s topic in General Nursing

    I never thought about the math requirements. I took Calculus and Trig in high school as a prerequisite to AP Biology, so I guess I thought there had to be more math to it than algebra II. That...

    canigraduate replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    BWWWAAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAHAAA! Best spit list entry

  3. Laptop suggestions

    canigraduate replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    HP's suck. Never had one that worked

  4. Laptop suggestions

    canigraduate replied to nativenurse2b2017's topic in General Students

    I have a nine year old MacBook Pro 15" laptop that has never crashed. Ever. I love it. It's been with me through Adobe's bloated CS 1-3 software, through 4 OS changes and multiple patches, and has...

  5. What I learned this week (7/11/15)

    canigraduate replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I know, right? I weekended in the Outer Banks frequently as a kid. Did you know that sand can actually embed under your toenails and take weeks to grow out? Like, fused to the toenail, underneath it...

    Who's attacking the OP? Where? I can't find

  7. What I learned this week (7/11/15)

    canigraduate replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that worrying about your virtual friends sucks just as much as worrying about your IRL

  8. Esme welcome back!!!!

    canigraduate replied to emtb2rn's topic in General Nursing

    Ummm.... Esme? It's been almost a week since your last activity. You

  9. "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    canigraduate replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    That came out totally wrong. I meant we shouldn't phase out LPNs, not that only RNs should have an entry standard. Sheesh. roser13, that's a good point. I've heard the said debate has been going on...

  10. Where should a new grad apply???

    canigraduate replied to RN-4Ever's topic in Maryland Nursing

    Deleted. Late to the

  11. "To BSN or Not to BSN That is the question." Should BSN be minimal requirement?

    canigraduate replied to nurseactivist's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    I think an entry standard is a good thing, but just for RNs. I don't think the current BSN programs should be the standard, though. I wish there was a BSN-diploma hybrid, so that the new grad had all...

  12. Nurses Fight Back! Why Some Hospitals are Despicable

    canigraduate replied to allnurses's topic in General Nursing

    Sue's life sucks. That's awful. I would love to be in Anna's shoes. I agree with so many things in this article. In NC, where I started, there are a lot of Annas and not so many Sues. But, as I've...

  13. It's not my job to pray with you.

    canigraduate replied to kickatthedark's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I hadn't thought about that, either, although it happens to me all the time. I usually just politely thank them for worrying about my soul and go on my merry way. I never thought of it as being a...

  14. Your worst nightmare

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Huh. The school nurses probably know more about it than I do, but I would think that if a faint is serious enough to be sent out to the hospital, then an ECG would be standard. As far as what would...

  15. Your worst nightmare

    canigraduate replied to nursingaround1's topic in General Nursing

    Probably, here in the U.S. We've had a lot of highly publicized student athlete cardiac

    canigraduate replied to Nursing2102's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    canigraduate replied to Emergent's topic in General Nursing

    And then spent even more time complaining about

  18. Calling diabetes experts

    canigraduate replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    Cool. Perhaps the treatment I was taught is the same kind of prophylaxis as SCD's &

  19. Arrogant "know it all" RN

    canigraduate replied to ArrowRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    The way you wrote this up, you sound like an arrogant know-it-all newbie who is shutting down someone who is trying to help. Think about that for a second and make sure it isn't true. If it is, you...

  20. Calling diabetes experts

    canigraduate replied to Libby1987's topic in General Nursing

    I was taught that it was part of the circadian rhythm for blood glucose to drop in the early AM and to give all diabetics, regardless of blood glucose levels and antidiabetics, a snack of complex...

  24. What I learned this week (7/11/15)

    canigraduate replied to ixchel's topic in General Nursing

    I learned that hospitals really lie and say that the little old guy with AMS didn't have a sitter so he can be turfed to a SNF. Still pissed about that. I learned that bicarb, D50, insulin, calcium...

  25. RN to BSN at WGU?

    canigraduate replied to noelly10's topic in Western Governors University

    The material for Biochem is great. There's a text and a series of videos with the most excited chemistry prof I've ever seen. I assume the rest of the classes have something similar. You'll do just...
