    Thangbom321 replied to rayneonme's topic in Texas Nursing

    hum.. I don't know if you guys already know, but you should call you LSC campus and ask if you need the meningitis vaccine. I know we (current nursing students need it) at Cy-Fair. Also don't buy a...

    I had the observation day yesterday. Found garage 2 that leads into the front entrance of St. Luke's. The street's name is Richard Johnson street or something like that. Parking was free. The arm for...

    Thangbom321 posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    Hello, I'm a nursing student in Houston and will have to do clinical days at TCH in a few weeks. I would like to be able to ride my motorcycle to and from the hospital so I can use the HOV lane and...

    Thangbom321 replied to songbird1's topic in Texas Nursing

    try googling any local Firefighter house. They are CPR certified and some of them give free classes. You just have to find one that does BLS and not the regular one (such as for swimmers). I got mine...

  7. Can someone explain the difference between uptake & reuptake?

    uptake = when one neuron takes in (via dendrites) neurotransmitter that was sent out by a different neuron (neuron 2 picking up neurotransmitter from neuron 1) reuptake = when a neuron takes in it's...

  8. 25 pushups

    Thangbom321 replied to nurse2033's topic in Men in Nursing

    Yes, this is very true. Although, I can do 100 all at once. My brothers and I use to do push-up for everything competitive. We would make bets when we bowl. Something like: if you don't hit 9 pins or...

  9. 25 pushups

    Thangbom321 replied to nurse2033's topic in Men in Nursing

    I wouldn't say it's pathetic not being able to do 25 pushups. I would however say it's not a good thing. Being in good physical condition dose wonders for the body. I'm not saying get ripped up or...

  10. 25 pushups

    Thangbom321 replied to nurse2033's topic in Men in Nursing

    I'm not a RN yet, but i know if i had the time for it, I would totally do it. I really don't see what is wrong with it, other than the act is kinda out of place (like i said, I'd still do it). Is it...

  11. Best Stethoscope for Nursing Students

    Thangbom321 replied to Connie1109's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I suggest a ADC stethoscope. I ordered mine off Amazon (which in turn advertised for Medexsupply). I've done a lot of research (probably over 25hrs) befor I went and ordered them. I bought the ADC 603...

  12. Being late for classes in nursing program....

    Thangbom321 replied to Awright162's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My RN program only allows 2 absents. If your late and the door is closed, you just missed out. They are trying to get you used to the rules that will be implemented later on when you become a RN. When...

  13. Colloid osmotic pressure -vs- hydrostatic pressure

    Thangbom321 replied to occc2010rn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I had to clear this up for my A&P teacher (she is good, but for the life of her, she could not get the point out to the "whole" class). Hydrostatic pressure= pressure exerted by the water or...

  14. is nursing even a good career choice right now?

    Thangbom321 replied to tware's topic in General Nursing

    Ohh, there's no doubt that nursing is a easy or comfy job. It requires lots of skill, knowledge and education to be proficient in it. All I know is IMO, it's a lot better than plumbing/HVAC. The poo...

  15. is nursing even a good career choice right now?

    Thangbom321 replied to tware's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I would probably never advise anyone to pursue a career in plumbing H/VAC. I'm switching from H/VAC to nursing myself. It's a tough job. It takes a toll on your body big time. I'm only 27...

    Thangbom321 replied to NoobIe515's topic in Texas Nursing

    yupper, parking sucks down there. It's just ridiculous having to pay for school, books, parking and so many other things. I am not a student attending there, however i did have to go there a few times...

    Thangbom321 replied to StephanieNicole's topic in Texas Nursing

    As far as i k know, acceptance is based on score only. As for retaking the class to turn it into a A to raise your score, that all depends on how well you do on the hesi. If you can kick butt in the...

  19. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

    Thangbom321 replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    Not to be rude or anything of that kind, but why would a person enter a "unpaid internship" to gain experience when you can do volunteer work? Not only is it experience, but karma. You will feel and...

    Thangbom321 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Pharm is a 'different' type of class. It is nor really hard, but a heck of a lot of work. I read every chapter that was cover for our first test and was still stumped on a few questions on the exam....

    Thangbom321 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How come their arn't many post or a sticky on Pharmacology? This class is tough due to the massive amount of info and overlap of medications regarding specific biological disorders. It seems like...

  24. Memorial Hermann is planning on unpaid GN intersnship

    Thangbom321 replied to RNQueen's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm against this all the way. The idea and intent may have been aimed in the right direction,however it seems to be more to the benefit of the hospital than the 'interns'. It actually seems like the...

    Thangbom321 replied to Kaybee24's topic in Texas Nursing

    Joker? NO... I'm just not the serious type. I try to lighten up the atmosphere to suit my life style/attitude. Yes the class seem easier than I thought it would be. As you stated, it may all change...
