  1. sextuplets

    The news is reporting that the Morrison's have lost another of their babies--a daughter named Lucia Rae. They still have one child, a boy named Silas, in the NICU. This has really turned into a terrible tragedy for them. I hope they have a good s...
  2. sextuplets

    Well, you just never know. In a world where people can bring a lawsuit for $54 million because the dry cleaner didn't return their pants on the day they needed them, the founders of a charity probably have some sort of paperwork drawn up about what ...
  3. sextuplets

    As far as the money donated to the Morrisons, I'm sure they'll find a legitimate use for it. Even if only one of the babies survives, I'm sure it will generate lots of bills (surgeries, nursing care, medicines, maybe special tutoring or different t...
  4. sextuplets

    The latest article I read about the Morrison sextuplets said that the hospital won't be releasing anymore information about them. I wonder if this was at the parents request. The parents actually have a website (you can use google to look for it)...
  5. Curious to hear NICU nurses perspective--23-wkr, NEC m

    I read on their website this evening that their baby passed away. I'm sure they are devastated. It is so sad--yet it sounded like their child couldn't recover--she was just barely surviving, so they kept hoping...
  6. Constipation nursing diagnosis

    How about digital stimulation? Don't know if the patient would comply though.
  7. Help me let go of my need for an A....

    Klone, try not to beat yourself up too badly over your grade. Try to see the big picture. If your dream is to go on to get a master's degree or whatever, one B (or a few of them) shouldn't hurt your chances too much. Also, remember that you have ...
  8. well, today i failed my 3rd pharmacology test. we get 4 chances (the date and time for each test is determined by the school, not by the students.) if we don't pass by at least the fourth test, we are dropped from all our classes. i'm so upset i d...
  9. No She/he Did Not!!!

    No she didn't.... Look for a 20,000 unit syringe.
  10. Grading Scale

    Our scale... 89.5-100% A 82.5-89.49% B 77.5-82.49% C Our clinicals are graded, and skills class, same scale.
  11. Counting the week that starts Monday, and excluding Spring Break, how many weeks do you have left for your semester? How many weeks long is your semester. Ours are 16 weeks, and that feels like a very long time. I have 9 weeks. May 10th can't co...
  12. Opinion needed ASAP

    I think you can do it. I remember one busy summer I had: a 3-week American history class, a 5-week Spanish one class, a 5-week Physics class, and then Spanish 2 the last 5 weeks of summer. I made 2 A's and 2 B's. Just remember, you don't have to ...
  13. Anyone applying for El Centro in 2005

    hi fun2care, if i'm remembering right, the "co-requisite" gpa was lower for the northlake campus than the el centro campus. it think it was 3.54. this was for the class to start august 2004. also, there are several (about 5) of my classmates who i...
  14. Full Time Job AND Nursing School?!?!?!?

    I'm working full time in nursing school and it's pretty awful. My job (I work in quality assurance, as a laboratory technician), lets me use my vacation (3 weeks per year) as well as personal time (48 hours per year) in tiny increments, if necessary...
  15. Anyone applying for El Centro in 2005

    northlake is in irving tx. to describe where it is...hmmm...you will drive by it if you are on walnut hill, not long after you pass the intersection with story road. it can also be reached from other streets also, like macarthur. physical address ...
  16. When life gives you tampons....

    I actually find that pretty funny. Maybe I've been studying too long. :uhoh21: Chad, you just can't appreciate it because you're a boy. :rotfl:
  17. Fellow student made a nasty comment what should I do?

    Keep in mind that the guy you are talking about probably has fewer friends than an alarm clock. His behavior isn't invisible--even though its currently directed at you, other people hear & notice comments he makes, and it DOESN'T make him look a...
  18. The flu in South Texas

    When does flu season end? I remember being diagnosed with it spring break (mid-March) of 1995. So by April, is everyone pretty much safe?
  19. psychological test

    Interesting! Is this real?
  20. Blind Nursing Student?

    Me neither. Medicine packages don't come in braille. How can she do assessments? Safely transfer patients? Give shots? What exactly would she be doing? Phone triage, maybe?
  21. Sad, I'm sorry that you've had this painful experience. I don't know if this will comfort you any, but I've had my own experiences with finding out things just wouldn't work out with some plan I had. For one thing, I found it very hard to learn to d...
  22. Theme song, anyone?

    How about Queen's "I Want To Break Free" ?
  23. Product Wording

    :rotfl: Too funny!
  24. doasge calculations

    I guess I would start by figuring out how many mEq/ml. It would be 2.0 mEq/ml. So if you need 5mEq, then you would need 2.5 mL. Add 2.5ml of KCl solution to the 1,000ml bag. That's my answer. But you should wait for other replies. Math was neve...
  25. Those understated British...

    The first one was my favorite. :rotfl: Thanks for posting! :)
