  7. 'Dumbing Down of Healthcare'

    What do they call the guy who graduated last in his medical school class?
  8. Contacts

    Both reactions are normal. It took me a long time to adjust to my 1st pair of contacts. I went thru loads of rewet
  9. Please ,what is going on ?

    :chuckle :chuckle I needed that! After the day I've had, I needed to
  11. hello biloxi/gulfport!!

    I live in Mobile. Moving halfway between the 2 cities & each of you commuting is a very feasible plan. Lucedale, MS is a lovely small town. (I think they may even still have a small hospital, but...
  12. At what gestation would YOU want YOUR baby saved?

    28 weeks OR >1000g The risks below that are just too high for my tastes. I have a 30 wkr, a 33 wkr, and my baby was 34w2d. None of them were on the vent. The smallest baby (30wkr) only received the...
  13. Yep. I already know that I've got the book smarts. The people skills are pretty close at hand, too. They need a little work, but they're fair. It's the common sense I need help with. I have gotten...
  14. Ya'll can hate me after I confess: I'm a curve-blowing slacker. Yup. I'm the girl sitting in the back row who barely listens to lecture & doesn't take notes, but always pulls a high A on the exam....
  15. How common is PIH in subsequent pregnancies ?

    I had pre-eclampsia (PIH) with all 3 pregnancies fathered by the same man. I have no children with a different father, so I can't speak to that element. Each of my pregnancies were terminated by...
  16. Nope. You're born with it. At least I was, anyway. None of these stories have done anything more than make my stomach do a little flip. Other than that, no gagging, no spewing, no dry heaving. I even...
  17. Yet Another HPT Question

    False positives are pretty rare. I'd say take a 2nd test. If it is also +, it's a fair bet that you are
  18. How about a NCLEX only area on this BB??

    YAY! I think an area just for NCLEX is a great idea. I'm petrified of this d@#n test & I'm not even into my nursing semesters yet. I suppose my fear is from knowing that the NCLEX I will take will...
  19. Is it for me?

    Math is rather important for dosage
  20. Sorry about the confusing post! The clarity fairy fluttered by & escaped my grasp!
  21. Good Lord! You're giving me a heart attack! Actually, I prefer martial arts. Yes, I "beat people up" & "get my @$$ kicked" for fun! Sky diving! *shudder* Unless the plane's on fire & my...
  22. Charting Question

    If you didn't write it down, it didn't happen! They're already drilling that into our heads at my school, and I'm only in the Critical Thinking pre-req for nursing. I don't even start the actual...
  23. This is exactly why I feel that I'm too old to be doing it now. Others may feel differently. To each their own. Like I said, I felt one way when I was younger & didn't know any better. Now I feel...
  24. Top 10 reasons I became a nurse
