    jrw03282009 replied to msteresa97's topic in General Students

    jrw03282009 replied to jrw03282009's topic in Cardiac

    It helped VERY much HeartRN. It was what I was wanting. Everyone is scared to tell me b/c I am dealing with it first hand and I knew someone would have answers for me that were to the point on this...

  9. When does death occur?

    jrw03282009 posted a topic in Cardiac

    I have a question that is a kind of scenerio. If you have a patient that the bone marrow has stopped producing ANY blood cells/platelets and they are not recieving any more blood transfussions, how...

  12. Comforable shoes for us large nurses

    jrw03282009 replied to chelynn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    S.A.S. tennis shoes! Worth every dime I paid for them. I even have a heel spur that I can tolerate now b/c of these shoes. Most stores give nurses 10% off. They run around $125. They are a bit on the...

  13. Looking for fellow black nurses!

    jrw03282009 replied to jtmonique's topic in General Nursing

    I was thinking the same thing. In my area, I am the minority. In my class of 30 there are three caucasian people. I dont understand why there is such a rift and need to separate. I know I am going to...

  14. What a night(mare) at home!

    jrw03282009 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a nursing student right now and I felt so helpless tonight even though I have learned so much! My husband is NEVER sick. He was cleaning a deer on Wednesday when he nicked his knuckle on the deer...

  15. What a night(mare) at home!

    jrw03282009 replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Nursing

    I doubt we will ever know what bacteria caused him to react so badly. I think it was just that he thought he was Super Man and that he wouldnt get sick from it so he ignored washing it, keeping it...

  16. What a night(mare) at home!

    jrw03282009 replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, I will :) Like I told him this morning... he is MY foundation and keeps me sane. But when it is HIM, it rocks me to my core. He never gets sick and I had no idea what to do last night even with...

  17. What a night(mare) at home!

    jrw03282009 replied to jrw03282009's topic in General Nursing

    What a LONG night! Hubby is doing great this morning... the red lines are gone. I stayed up with him pretty much all night. I didnt mean to get everyone worked up (or trying to get medical advice),...

  18. What are the pre-req courses for LVN

    jrw03282009 replied to tavia_yeung's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Hmmm, we did pretty much basic stuff this semester (1st). It was growth, anatomy, calculations, nutrition, disease process, basic nursing skills. I cant explain concepts, you will have to experiance...

  19. ATI for each class

    jrw03282009 replied to KathyRN2B's topic in General Students

    I hate the ATI styling. The first few times of taking it are GREAT! But, if yours are like mine... the questions on the tests NEVER change. Once I see the question once or twice, I remember it and...

  20. LVN's and RN's and Doctor's

    jrw03282009 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am trying to understand a couple of things. Let me say first- if you are a RN please dont eat me. I am only asking because I truly want to know an honest answer. I am not trying to start a war.... I...

    jrw03282009 replied to dee78's topic in Tennessee Nursing

    What does your book list look like? I can see what I have... I doubt you want to do the ebooks unless you have a very reliable laptop. I just finished my first semester and WOW there was a LOT of...

  23. What is the white stuff in my blood tube?

    jrw03282009 replied to stephenfnielsen's topic in General Nursing

    I had said "those tubes" meaning when those white clump tubes are spun down, you will be able to see the fats even more

  24. Heeelloo Texas Nurses!

    jrw03282009 replied to NYSNOWBUNNY007's topic in Texas Nursing

    I am in Corpus Christi and it is hard to stay away for very long! I love visiting SA, Houston, and Dallas but when everything is just a drive away... it's nice.

  25. Grades in nursing school

    jrw03282009 replied to redvelvet20's topic in General Students

    I know for SURE what you are talking about. I had the flu last semester and missed a test. I had two dr notes and instructors that backed up how sick I was. I had a test though that I was unable to...
