  3. have you started becoming anal about things?

    dansamy replied to grapejuice01's topic in General Students

    My A&PI teacher has horrible pronunciation. "Thorakic" Half the time, I can't figure out what in h#$% she's trying to say. I write what it sounds like & make a note of what general vicinity...

  4. My son is almost 2, never breastfeed, but lactating?

    dansamy replied to RNStudentMary's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yes. You would probably need to rent a hopital-grade breast pump for a month or two, but it can indeed be done. (Hell, if there was a milk bank in my area, I'd still be lactating! They pay a pretty...

  5. Thoughts on working with a laboring patient with a deceased baby?

    dansamy replied to kar212's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I think providing emotional support for that family is far more important than 'giving them time to be alone'. BTW, my response isn't from any 'real world' experience. I'm a student-to-be. I just...

  6. What is your grading scale in nursing school?

    dansamy replied to BGSUstudent's topic in General Students

  8. Why do nursng students HAVE to have health insurance b/4 they strart cliniclas?

    dansamy replied to KibbsRNstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Butting in here.......That's not a trait of a man who is a marriage partner. That's selfish. ONLY if it benefits him too is he willing to be minimally supportive. I'd suggest a few counseling sessions...

  10. Sad for my neighbor, didn't know what to say!

    dansamy replied to lilbiskit78's topic in General Nursing

    Very good job in the advice department. Now, you know she's worried & stressed so she's not taking the time to eat right. It's time to get cooking! Take something over to her, preferably something...

  11. Federalize Nursing Licenses! Who's with me?

    dansamy replied to mobileLPN's topic in General Nursing

    My husband's FAA Airframe & Powerplant license is a federalized license. Why can't we have a Federal Board of Nursing? One test, one license, 50 states plus

  12. My son is almost 2, never breastfeed, but lactating?

    dansamy replied to RNStudentMary's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Also, lactation can be induced in almost any woman who has previously breastfed an infant. Should the need for a "wet nurse" arise, almost any woman who has previously breastfed will be able to...

  13. Shingles

    dansamy replied to oramar's topic in Infectious Disease

    I don't know, but I had them in October. They sucked! The Tyl#3 w/ codeine didn't do squat for the pain,

  14. My son is almost 2, never breastfeed, but lactating?

    dansamy replied to RNStudentMary's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Please see your doctor. I know hormonal imbalances can cause this, but so can tumors. It's just a good idea to get it checked

  16. Mother of Sorrows: Rachel's Story

    dansamy replied to VivaLasViejas's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I love to listen to Depression-era & WWII stories. The concentration camp stories always make me cry. I cry every time I watch Schindler's List. I also cry when I see pictures of Hiroshima &...

  17. Patient Care Technician.............

    Thanks for the input, guys. Let's see how it goes on Tuesday. I'm hoping for $8-10/hr. I really need this job so I can move out. It's time that the kids & I got our own place. I plan to pick up as...

    dansamy posted a topic in General Nursing

    Ok, I'm not real sure where to put this, so I'm just putting it here in the general area. I've applied for a position at a local hospital as a "Patient Care Technician" on night shift so that I can...

  22. Failed NCLEX multiple times

    dansamy replied to Brickman's topic in General Nursing

    I think this is a suitable idea. If you fail NCLEX x number of times, then you should be required to take a "remedial" semester before being allowed to try again. This may seem harsh but if a student...
