    kea6783 replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

  2. My bp is 160/120, go to the ER?

    kea6783 replied to Chad_KY_SRNA's topic in General Nursing

    That makes sense. My dad had a history of anxiety attacks and I have a bit of a social phobia. Man, sometimes the answers infront of my nose are SO hard to see. Thanks

  7. refugees hit home

    kea6783 replied to mandrews's topic in General Nursing

    I just wanted to add, that I don't want to bash Red Cross- I'm sure they do a lot of good for a lot of people and there are things about their policies that we don't really know or understand, but...

    kea6783 posted a topic in General Nursing

  13. Help, please! Need to interview an RN

    kea6783 replied to kenheather's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm not a nurse yet, but surprised that as a jr in a BSN program, you'd be asked to ask those kinds of questions to a professional. IMO, if you've gotten that far, you've researched or talked to...

    kea6783 replied to Princess74's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    kea6783 replied to kea6783's topic in Developmental Disabilities
