  1. Purchasing Textbooks? Best ways/cheapest?

    nurseshanti replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Students

    Another option too, apart from all the great ones suggested above, is to check around and see if students from years ahead of you are planning to sell their old textbooks. If you buy a used text...

  2. Going to the Burns/Plastics unit for clinical rotation

    nurseshanti posted a topic in Burn

    Hi! Starting in about 2 weeks, I'm going to be doing a 6 week clinical placement on the Burns and Plastics unit at a major tertiary care centre here. I'm just finishing up 3rd year of nursing school...

  3. Palliative care for spiritual distress along the diasease trajectory

    nurseshanti posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi everyone, I'm putting this question here because I believe it does relate to hospice/palliative care, but if someone feels it is more suited elsewhere, then totally feel free to move it. My best...

  4. Planned Parenthood and nursing

    nurseshanti replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, :) I think it depends on what services the PP offers and what type of volunteer program they have running. At the one where I volunteered they had 2 volunteer positions. There was a clinic...

  5. Palliative care for spiritual distress along the diasease trajectory

    nurseshanti replied to nurseshanti's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I am aware of the option of seeing a chaplain or her pastor. I am hoping though that there is something that I myself can do to help support her through this. It's hard being far away. Plus, her very...

  6. Planned Parenthood and nursing

    nurseshanti replied to rhiannonwolf's topic in General Nursing

    I totally echo the previous posters responses and advice. Volunteering at Planned Parenthood can do nothing but help your career. It certainly isn't going to be any kind of black mark against you in...

  7. Did you work while going through Nursing school?

    nurseshanti replied to Maliatc's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just finishing up my third year of a four year nursing program and I've worked part-time ever since I started. I used to work about 20 hours a week at a local arts centre, supervising in the box...

  8. They pushed the wrong button today.

    nurseshanti replied to WyomingRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I do understand and agree that the global economic situation today is terrible. But honestly, a little compassion for the poor customer service rep on the other end of the line can't hurt anyone. The...

  9. What does your post name reflect about you?

    nurseshanti replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in General Nursing

    shanti means 'peace' in Hindi. I spent a fair bit of time working and travelling in India, around when I turned 21 and it was a huge part of 'growing up' for me. I learned a lot about myself and about...

    Dalhousie University in Halifax has a two year fast track nursing program for students with a full degree and the required pre-reqs. It's 2 years full-time, 24 straight months of classes. Dal also has...

  11. I spoke to an MD the other day who told me that Hepatitus C was the SINGLE biggest...

    nurseshanti replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe someone with more knowledge can clarify this, but it was my understanding that it's really rare to have Hep C transmitted with sexual contact, unless that contact involved the exchange of blood....

  12. Critical thinking exercise

    nurseshanti replied to Teacher Sue's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a student too, in my third year... and these are great. Thanks for posting them. I would probably first check whether O2 is actually on, whether the pulse ox is attached and whether the cannula...

  13. anyone actually get good grades in nursing school?

    nurseshanti replied to moonbunnie's topic in General Students

    Another A student, GPA of 3.96, here. It's important to me to get good grades and I do my hardest to get them, but I also know that my clinical skills are the most important thing to get out of...

  14. Artifical Nutrition and Hydration

    nurseshanti posted a topic in Hospice, Palliative

    Hi everyone! I'm new here and this is my first post. I'm a student nurse and I have to do a presentation during one of my clinical post-conferences. I'm really interested in hospice and palliative...

  15. Nursing and fainting........(long)

    nurseshanti replied to Euphrosyne7's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school right now and I have experienced a few moments of feeling really faint. The most memorable for me were once in skills lab when we were practicing wound care (which was the most...

  16. Encouragement for New Nurses

    nurseshanti replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you so much mjlrn97 for such a wonderful post! and thank you to everyone who replied so positively also. This is my biggest fear for when I graduate and am at my first job. Like RN-PA, I have...

  17. When did you know you wanted to be a nurse?

    nurseshanti replied to Cryssi's topic in General Nursing

    I've wanted to be a nurse since I was little, although can't pinpoint the exact moment. I took a circuitous route to get to nursing school after I finished high school though, and one of the things I...

  18. Have I Chosen the Wrong University?

    nurseshanti replied to ldh's topic in International Nursing

    Thanks for explaining context-based learning to me ldh..... it sounds like a horror show the way it's set up there, I certainly understand why you would want to switch universities. That sounds...

  19. Have I Chosen the Wrong University?

    nurseshanti replied to ldh's topic in International Nursing

    Hi there, What is it that you don't like about context-based learning? I've heard only good things about that method and I've always kind of wished that I went to a nursing school that used that way...

  20. Relief work?

    nurseshanti posted a topic in International Nursing

    Just wondering if there are any nurses here who are interested in working in developing countries. My dream job as a nurse is to work overseas for organizations like MSF and Red Cross, doing relief...
