  1. Maslow's First Level, sex?

    semester1kid replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    The reason I stand by my statement that sex as a basic need pertains to procreation is because procreation is truly the only reason a functionally healthy sexual pattern is necessary. If not for that,...

  2. Maslow's First Level, sex?

    semester1kid replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    If you folks just look at the pyramid, you'll see that basic needs includes 'sex' (for the reasons I stated several posts above) and the 'love' level includes 'sexual

  3. Maslow's First Level, sex?

    semester1kid replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    Undoubtedly sex is part of the first level of basic needs...and it's also part of level three (love)...The basic need is for the survival of the species, i.e. to reproduce. The 'love' is for the...

  4. Yelled at for posting on AN

    semester1kid replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    I haven't looked at your past posting history as it's really not my business - however, judging by some of the replies in this thread, it seems you may have actually cited your specific school in...

  5. Is it worth it for me to become a CNA before nursing school?

    semester1kid replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    delete - repeated same thing as previously

  6. How to handle clients who get upset when performing VS

    semester1kid replied to Becca Thomas, SN's topic in General Students

    I had an elderly female pt who was intolerent to the hospital's automatic BP cuff. Because of a prior mastectomy, we could only use one arm. For whatever reason, no one thought of this before me, but...

  7. Is it worth it for me to become a CNA before nursing school?

    semester1kid replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Actually you don't have to pay for anything but the test - provided you already have a semester's worth of clinical hours...and it gives some added insurance in case something happens that have to...

  8. Yelled at for posting on AN

    semester1kid replied to Bormio's topic in General Students

    Our chair person told us as much during orientation - they can and will act if they find out you've been posting inappropriate stuff. However, on that same note, I don't see what business they have...

  9. Is it worth it for me to become a CNA before nursing school?

    semester1kid replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Just as an FYI (if this is an option that works for you), if you wait until you've complete your first semester and have accumulated a given number of clinical hours, you'll only have to pay $93 for...

  10. Is it worth it for me to become a CNA before nursing school?

    semester1kid replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    LOL - you must be one of my fellow students; you just described me to a 'T' But seriously, all the textbook knowledge in the world will not help you in a clinical situation. So while the actual...

  11. The Support is Waning Quickly...

    semester1kid replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Since I'm the husband who's also the nursing student, I can tell you that it wives of nursing students can also find the adjustment hard - as it is, I think my wife finds this to be some kind of hobby...

  12. Is it worth it for me to become a CNA before nursing school?

    semester1kid replied to Copperismydog's topic in General Students

    Prior poster nailed it on the head I think. I'm in a similar position. I've never worked in healthcare and in fact, work in a finance dept at the home office of a large retail chain. And I'm now in my...

  14. Nursing outcomes and interventions for Self Care Deficit

    semester1kid replied to Mommy23kiddos's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm in a similar situation - except my pt is on full care status due to impaired mobility secondary to MS. If I want to explain why he can't bath himself, why would I have to go into anything more...

  15. Need help with UTI care plan

    semester1kid replied to StudentRNjgonzalez's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Kind of rekindling an old thread - my question is this: when developing a nursing dx for someone with a uti, would you use a 'risk for infection' dx when the infection already exists? The reason I ask...

  16. Fellow Nursing Students; Have you ever learned...

    semester1kid posted a topic in General Students

    ..something in particular during lecture and said 'jeesh = I need to start using this info in my own personal life'? Well,currently we're studying another round of Fluids and Electrolytes and one of...

  17. Stuck between a rock and a hard place

    semester1kid replied to SnowbirdinFL's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Staying on top of the situation and trying to resolve it to the best that your position would allow was absolutely the best thing. You did nothing wrong. As a student nurse, I had a similar experience...

    Thanks a lot for that info - I probably should've figured

  20. Don't think Nursing is for me

    semester1kid replied to justchill's topic in General Students

    There are so many fields within nursing, I wouldn't close the door just yet my friend. I can tell you that I personally wouldn't be satisfied being a floor nurse (for example)...but the opportunities...

  21. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    semester1kid replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    Actually there will some key word or phrase that will make one answe right and all the others wrong - also, something that confuses some students in my class are questions about what you would do...

    Thanks a lot - I'm in Framingham, which is pretty much metro west 'central':-). I'll call the Red Cross on Monday to see if they would allow me to observe. There is an open lab available at my...

  23. Why is Nursing School So Flawed?

    semester1kid replied to TCASII's topic in General Students

    The deal is that you're entering a field which is not an exact science:-) The client's differ just as customers in restaurant and retail industries do. One glaring example is pain. Pain is subject and...

  24. What jobs are there for a BS nursing degree but no license?

    semester1kid replied to jcutler's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Here in MA, you can work as a CNA (actually labelled 'Student Nurse' I believe) even before you graduate provided you have a letter from the chair person stated you've worked 'x' number of clinical...

  25. Broke Foot=withdraw from nursing school

    semester1kid replied to tattooedlilfreak's topic in General Students

    I already know my school would insist you withdraw, but would then 'pencil' you in as an automatic selection the following semester. For me, while I would never want that to happen, I would find a...
