  1. Religion, culture and nursing

    CJMR replied to raebabelvn's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    I have been atheist my whole life. I have a hard time understanding religious beliefs and practices because they all sounds a bit wacky to me. However, I try my hardest and, of course, respect and...

  2. What do you think about my pay cut?

    CJMR replied to dekagirlsRN's topic in General Nursing

    Your manager is being a jerk by taking advantage of someone with a kind heart. Don't let the fact that the company is a nonprofit make you feel guilty. They certainly aren't acting charitable when...

  3. Rode up on first accident outside of hospital....

    CJMR replied to shoegalRN's topic in General Nursing

    I would absolutely stop. I don't even think I could force myself to drive by knowing someone might need help. Liability be damned, I just couldn't leave. I know whatever I do is because I think it...

  4. Pregnancy: best during nursing school or as a new hire?

    CJMR replied to science in flowers's topic in General Nursing

    I do not speak from experience. What seems to be the most common at my school is for women to plan it so that they give birth a couple weeks after completion of their senior year. That way they can...

  5. Dosage calculation help?

    CJMR replied to purplehaze89's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I do it all as one long problem just so I can look at it and know if I'm leaving anything out: Rx = 3 mcg/kg/min S = 50 mg/250 mL C = mL/hour W = 87.4 kg 250 mL 50 mg x 1 mg 1000 mcg x 3 mcg 1kg/min x...

  6. Athletes heart rate

    CJMR replied to healthstar's topic in General Nursing

    I heard that as well. I don't know if it was the same place, but I read it in Saladin's Anatomy & Physiology

  7. How much of a yearly increase in pay do you see?

    CJMR replied to missie988's topic in General Nursing

    It is very unfortunate that a lot of employers don't get it with the whole raise thing. I mean, why let a good employee leave when it would probably be cheaper to give the raise? And then they won't...

  8. Pain Scale

    CJMR replied to makes needs known's topic in General Nursing

    It's so weird how different people have different pain tolerances. I've been told by multiple healthcare workers that my pain tolerance is unusually high. A few nurses have asked me if I've ever...

  9. Micro and A&P 2 together?

    CJMR replied to shesham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'll second the vote for YouTube help. I had a DVD that came with the book for A&P but I found quite a few videos online when I was in Micro that helped. Even just finding pictures of various...

  10. What to do about work versus pre-req's?

    CJMR replied to SomedayIWillBe's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took a big risk when I did it. I had to take 2 semesters of pre-requisites before I could even apply to the program I wanted to get into. So I worked lots of overtime (60-70 hours per week for 2+...

  11. Micro and A&P 2 together?

    CJMR replied to shesham's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I did it and it worked out just fine for me. I took A&P 2, Microbiology (both with labs, of course), and a Sociology class and got an A, B, and A. I probably would have been able to get straight...

  12. Patient 'found' my number on the internet...

    CJMR replied to Da_Milk_of_Amnesia's topic in General Nursing

    Creepy! Why would he possibly think it is okay to call you when you clearly did not give him your number and ask him to call? I wish you the best of luck with this situation. I had a stalker once...

  13. RN on your facebook name?

    CJMR replied to laynaER's topic in General Nursing

    No, not on Facebook. I understand it on this website or even on Linked In but not on an entertainment site. I agree, it's a bit

  14. Flashcard suggestions for A&P class

    CJMR replied to MacMaster's topic in General Students

    Great idea CoffeemateCNA! I am definitely going to use those tricks this semester. Thanks for

  15. Flashcard suggestions for A&P class

    CJMR replied to MacMaster's topic in General Students

    These really helped me with lab. My lab book wasn't very good so these filled in the gaps. Amazon.com: Anatomy Flashcards (9781427796943): Stephanie Mccann, Joanne Tillotson: Books They didn't do...

  16. 1st day of nursing classes start this week... HELP!

    CJMR replied to piinkk's topic in General Students

    You are not the only one. I am freaking out because I'm a slow reader. I feel like I'm going to get behind and classes haven't even started

  17. student loans...

    CJMR replied to sellers87's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I go to a state school and my student loans do not fully cover my tuition & books. They don't really give you much. I ended up working tons of overtime at my last job and saving for a couple...

  18. Purdue Accelerated 2nd Bach degree program 2011

    CJMR replied to benbojb's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I wanted to get into that program. The pre-requisites ended up being a full year longer than IU's 2nd degree program so I ended up choosing IU. Purdue required a semester of biology before A&P...

  19. Second-Career Students: How did you decide to change careers?

    CJMR replied to aab86's topic in General Students

    When I started college at 19 I had no clue what I wanted to do. I started out studying healthcare but at the time I had to work full time to support myself. The local colleges & universities...

  20. Ivy Tech, Purdue or IUN?

    CJMR replied to Jgarrison's topic in Indiana Nursing

    I've heard the same from many students. I had a few people in my A&P class who were re-taking it because their credits won't transfer. Another student couldn't apply to the program she wanted to...

  21. How do you wear your hair for work?

    CJMR replied to ChasingRain's topic in General Nursing

    I am starting clinicals next week and heard my school is really strict about hair. I had a cute (but high maintenance) bob but I've been growing it out for the last year specifically for school. I...
