  1. mistake in clinical and instructor freak out.

    Sis123 replied to LilPeanut's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Lilpeanut; From what I read, the main problem was that you could not find your instructor. If you *had*, you would never have needed to find the doctor, unless she told you to. When she did this:...

    Sis123 replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Nurse Cadet writes: I know exactly what you mean. My house could be a wreck, as soon as I have a test................It's spic and span. I've noticed that's my thing, I clean when I have alot of...

  3. OK I made a mistake.... but am I in danger of failing clinical now?

    Sis123 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    Chaya, you are so right. All of this can be handled matter of factly without a bunch of fear, tears, condemnation, and assorted pathological psychology!

  4. lithotomy...seriously?

    Sis123 replied to elizabells's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Now there's some good critical thinking, and I mean that in a good way. I think squatting might be good but just not sure about how to go about it. I know ladies in India stack a couple bricks on the...

  5. I Am So Mad!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Sis123 replied to Sunshine0425's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It might be a good thing to go visit http://www.ratemyprofessor.com and put up a rating of your prof. It might not help you alot, but it'll help those that come after you. I know it helps alot if I...

  6. How do you feel about Multiple Chemical Sensitivity Syndrome?

    Sis123 replied to daisey_may's topic in General Nursing

    I have met two people who claimed to have this. Both were either shirkers or hypochondriacs, or both. I suspect that this is a load of BS, but I remain somewhat open-minded, since we don't know...

  7. Need a vet tech...

    Sis123 replied to BRANDY LPN's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you can see the vet again tomorrow, and that s/he might be able to do more for you and your doggie. What a helpless feeling to know a baby of ours is suffering. I hope he's a bit better...

  8. Wondering about the schooling..

    Sis123 replied to HeadRx's topic in General Nursing

    A pretty popular pathway is to get your Associate degree RN at a community college, then on to University to finish your batchelor's degree. That way, you could work part time and not starve while...

  9. Wanted to share my wonderful moment

    Sis123 replied to AmyB's topic in General Nursing

  10. Think I've Done All I Can for This Person?

    Sis123 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    " Because she's going to take the MCAT."

  11. Think I've Done All I Can for This Person?

    Sis123 replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Nursing

    At the risk of sound presumptious, I'd suggest she get her estrogen levels checked out. She sounds like she's perimenopausal, with the crying at the drop of a hat. I was like that, too, until I...

  12. Uterine rupture & maternal code

    Sis123 replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    NurseNora, thank you for your reply to this thread. You stated: "It was very common to see a "window" in the uterus at the time of section. " Could you please elaborate on this? Was this window a...

  13. Uterine rupture & maternal code

    Sis123 replied to RNLaborNurse4U's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Deb, I remember you telling us about the transparent uterus. It was a c-section where the woman was having her 14th(?) child after her OB doc told her to not have anymore. I remember you or the doc...

  14. New Student needing some serious advice

    Sis123 replied to swillie02's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Why take night classes? Is it so that your husband can watch the kids before he ships out? If not, you know that most community colleges have childcare for students.... and that many friends of mine...

  15. And on the eighth day, the Lord Physician created nurses, to clean up the mess

    Sis123 replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in General Nursing

    murmur, you sound like a most efficient nurse to get all of that done in 5 minutes. Also, the doc sounds like a pig's butt. I'll bet everyone in the department has a similar low appreciation of his...

  16. Why is it ok to euthanize animals but not humans

    Sis123 replied to admorn03's topic in General Nursing

    "For several decades, the U.S. suicide rate has clearly outnumbered the homicide rate. From this, I can conclusively determine that there are more suicides than homicides in America." This would be...

  17. Funny patient names by nurses

    Sis123 replied to Kidrn911's topic in Emergency

    I've got a classmate in a nursing pre-req class named Crystal Rainwater. And then my cousin named her kids: Summer Dawn (I like this for a girl), Parker and Warner. Their last name was two syllables,...

    Sis123 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Tweety for your kind and compassionate care. I'm glad she had you for her

  19. Medicated Patient for Husband's Sake?

    Sis123 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    I am assuming that this patient has decided to not take in any nourishment so as to avoid prolonged suffering. Am I right? If she has, she my want to have some very low cal or calorie free thing to...

  20. Hey Bipley.....

    Sis123 replied to Simba&NalasMom's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps the "smelly co-worker" is also a member of allnurses.com, and Bipley had a heart attack after having the difficult discussion with her..... It's a small world, you know... Can you imagine...

  21. My dad is dying.....

    Sis123 replied to Curious1alwys's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, I am so sorry! It is unimaginable to me to conceive of the anguish you must be going through..... just so sorry!

  22. VIP Patients...A rant

    Sis123 replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    Really sick patients don't really give a rip about what the view looks like. They just want to be taken care of properly, and if they must have a roommate, they'd like to think they can talk with...

  23. how far would you go???

    Sis123 replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You might check out a house-sitting or house-share arrangement. I even did a live-in cooking job for an elderly gentleman one year in order to trade that for a place to live close by where I was...

  24. I made a mistake with my home meds and it affected me at work, will I lose my job?

    Sis123 replied to jeanapoole's topic in General Nursing

  25. I made a mistake with my home meds and it affected me at work, will I lose my job?

    Sis123 replied to jeanapoole's topic in General Nursing

    IIRC, it is important to deal honestly with the BON & have an attorney. It is also important to let them know how this accident will be avoided in the future; i.e. you may want to keep your...
