  1. What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

    damrcngrl95 replied to nirvana1's topic in Nursing Humor

    As an ex-teacher I have seen some names that just make me question the parents. Two little boys named Choice and Rejoice. The mom said that she had a choice to keep her baby or not and the second...

  3. Attrition/Retention rate at your School

    damrcngrl95 replied to Sadala's topic in General Students

    At the school I'm attending they pretty much will not let anyone being the program if they won't pass. The "weeding out" is done in the ranking classes and tests. So very few fail out and most pass...

  4. Pediatrics: Acetaminophen vs. Ibuprofen

    damrcngrl95 replied to dgirlemmy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I believe that ibuprofen is also metabolized by the liver. It also will cause people to have slow blood clotting times as well as being hard on the stomach. I think the reason that the dosage is...

  5. underweight kid

    damrcngrl95 replied to kingsmiley's topic in School

  6. Made CPS report, what now?

    damrcngrl95 replied to squidbilly's topic in School

    As a school teacher I kept records of observations and conversations. Like the other person said, I kept the records until they left. The parents are not told who said what so they thought my team...

  7. I find it depressing...

    damrcngrl95 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    I agree with this too. I have tried to handle things in a more direct way. I find that my true friends appreciate this. I have also found that its ok to have the type of friends that you are...

  8. I find it depressing...

    damrcngrl95 replied to QuarterLife88's topic in General Students

    I have seen similar threads like this. We women don't prop each other up like we should. I'm talking about as a whole. We don't as a group say what is truly on our minds and that isn't always a bad...

  9. Pregnant and just lost job!

    damrcngrl95 replied to INFINITEERN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I "resigned" from a teaching job for the same reason.... Excessive absences. I did understand because my students deserved a teacher that could be there consistently. It didn't make me feel better...

  11. Confusing chem test question, trying to see if I got it right

    damrcngrl95 replied to priorities2's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  12. Being Gay and a Male Nursing Student

    damrcngrl95 replied to RShieldsSN14's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I think some of the reactions that you may get from coworkers may be from lack of knowledge that gay men are still men. The best example I can give is this. My BIL is gay and has a partner and...

  13. Type 2 diabetes

    damrcngrl95 replied to mustlovepoodles's topic in School

    I had a book that I kept in my class that explained diabetes on an elementary level. There is a good selection on amazon that you could look over and maybe purchase. Personally, I'm glad you are...

    damrcngrl95 replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  15. They want me to teach developmental math!!!

    damrcngrl95 replied to bookwormom's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Teaching math can be very intemidating, but it is doable. I have taught math at the middle school level. I have also taught remedial math at the college level. I would ask your boss for some prior...

  18. ICU yuck

    damrcngrl95 replied to ginaw623's topic in General Nursing

    damrcngrl95 replied to Baubo516's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    This is the kind of thing I'm afraid I might say. Lol. Thanks for the laugh. I know I will be laughing at random times when I think

  20. Will working as a stripper affect my Air Force nursing potential?

    damrcngrl95 replied to JustMeWhoeverThatIs's topic in Government, Military

    In my opinion, I would work at least part-time as a nurse to keep your skills current. My parents ran a gentalmen's club when I was a child so I do understand it lure for a hefty income. Dancing...

    damrcngrl95 replied to Lola34's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    damrcngrl95 replied to jcasablanca's topic in Activism, Healthcare

  23. that darn tummy ache will getcha everytime

    damrcngrl95 replied to rdsxfnrn's topic in School

    damrcngrl95 replied to ladyruth18's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's about $1500 take home. I lived in Arlington about 10 years ago and it was expensive. You should qualify for help with school as a single parent. Even the Junior Colleges will have small...

    damrcngrl95 replied to Art_Vandelay's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am personally dealing with a rude person on a social level. I have found that not reacting to her rude behavior has made her look like the jerk she is. People just look at her like she sprouted...
