    Shout out to my fellow HVCC (Troy) students- ready for orientation?

    dandk1997RN replied to dandk1997RN's topic in New York Nursing

    Thanks- I've seen them. I just think the breakdown of classes to regions/states makes it difficult for new users to find the threads- I know there are other HVCC students using AN, but I don't think...

    personal cell phone and the internet and impact on staff moral

    dandk1997RN replied to 24 yrs and counting's topic in General Nursing

    As a supervisor who deals with this garbage all the time (texting seems to be more prevalent than talking on the phone) I feel somewhat qualified to answer this. (At this time, I oversee a staff of...

    What does your uniform look like?

    dandk1997RN replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    A cheaply made white Cherokee top- standard v-neck scrub top, no special detailing- for which I had to pay too much, and olive green pants that have elastic in the back and a drawstring in the front....

    Can nursing student working at the doctor's office perform blood draw?

    dandk1997RN replied to miniangel729's topic in General Students

    I'm just chiming in to say that when I checked last year, phlebotomists need to be certified in CA, so I'd agree with the above poster. I would certainly look in the regulations before doing...

    Woohoo! Me too- go, us!! Congrats to you and our fellow 1st years.

    Any student commuters?

    dandk1997RN replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    I forgot to answer your question about the weather. I just always check the forecast a day ahead in winter and plan to leave very early if it looks like their might be a storm so I have plenty of...

    Any student commuters?

    dandk1997RN replied to Kaychell's topic in General Students

    I'm commuting about an hour, and I have done this for work the last ten years, so it is nothing new to me. I also have a 2 hour break between classes, and I am definitely going to use it to study....

    Would you ever own a motorcycle? YES or NO?

    dandk1997RN replied to borinick1492's topic in General Nursing

    Well, given that my friend's cousin was paralyzed in a crash in May, her uncle killed in a crash 5 days ago (he was also the son of a long-time co-worker) and my BIL broke his pelvis and some ribs on...

    Marieb vs. Tortora A&P Texts

    dandk1997RN replied to land64shark's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    If you go to alibris.com, you can almost definitely get a very cheap previous edition of the Tortora text. I paid about $10 in total for my A&P text and lab manual. Do a search for alibris...

    And thus the death knell for my thread...nobody is going to see it here.

    Sorry- forgot that forum existed. ;~) Thanks for

    REALLY dumb question...sorry!!

    dandk1997RN replied to scrublifenurse10's topic in General Students

    You could try putting the book in a closed container with crumpled up newspaper. You could also put the book in baking soda- you'll have to dust it off thoroughly when done. I've had luck using the...

    false positives on drug test?

    dandk1997RN replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    The confirmatory tests usually rule out the false positives like poppy seeds. None of the stuff you listed would routinely cause a problem. Our basic drug screen includes THC, cocaine,...

    lvn background check

    dandk1997RN replied to miia's topic in General Students

    I'm afraid to say that nobody here is going to be able to help. What I would do: Take a deep breath. Call the college first thing in the morning. They probably have everything you need, and they will...

    Learning Tips

    dandk1997RN replied to parrothead36's topic in General Students

    I record my notes onto my MP3 player and listen to them during my commute (1.5 hours a day.) If they are short, I listen to them again. Def. helps, because I have to understand my notes to record...

    How long is a BLS class supossed to last

    dandk1997RN replied to MzTayTay's topic in General Students

    My employer offers the AHA course for healthcare providers. I took it a few weeks ago after being lapsed for two years, so it was NOT a refresher course. There were 27 people in the class. It was...

    What date do you start Nursing school?

    dandk1997RN replied to healthstar's topic in General Students

    Starting August 30th. I bought a binder, filler paper, notebook, my text (obviously,) a student planner, a voice recorder to replace my old one, index cards, new pencils, etc.... I also searched all...

    hematomas? drawing blood on elderly clients

    dandk1997RN replied to pear8's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Just wanted to add that butterflies are designed to be let go without coming out. I'm not saying this will be the case 100% of the time- if it isn't all the way in or there is too much downward pull,...

    Good, cheap nursing shoes

    dandk1997RN replied to rcm0915's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Ditto the check with your school sentiment. Mine is very picky- no clogs (wahhhh...want my Danskos!) no sneakers, all white shoes are required. I'm still looking for a decent pair. I totally...

    HIV+ student concerned about drug testing while taking Marinol

    dandk1997RN replied to up'n'coming's topic in General Students

    FWIW, nobody can really answer your question about how long it would remain in your system, anyway. I'm a nursing student, but I am also in charge of the outpatient lab I work in in the evening....

    dandk1997RN replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My class still doesn't start for a few more days, but the teacher opened up the content online a couple days ago. As with other people, it looks to be a fairly intense course. I've gotten good...

    dandk1997RN replied to Anoetos's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the link- I've been looking for audio/video supplements for my online class. I've used videos from Annenberg in past classes and they were fairly engaging- can't wait to watch

    What color lab tube do I need for a test?

    dandk1997RN replied to txoldiebutgoodie's topic in General Students

    Oh, hahaha! I just realized this question is two years old. I'm pretty sure you probably already got this all figured

    What color lab tube do I need for a test?

    dandk1997RN replied to txoldiebutgoodie's topic in General Students

    I'm in charge of the outpatient lab where I work, and all I can tell you about this situation is that if you are doing this for an assignment and your school is affiliated with a specific facility,...

    What are you doing to get ready???

    dandk1997RN replied to MammaNurse2Be's topic in General Students

    Jennafezz, can you point me in the direction of the podcasts you found? I'm pretty good with terminology (been in the field 10 years) but would love to listen to the podcasts anyway. I spent all...
