  1. False accusations.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Thanks, guys. I know I did the right thing. I just wish the guy's complaint was that it took me a half hour to listen to his complaints, but he said it took me a half hour to visit the patient with...

  2. False accusations.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    What if the guy came to my place of work and stole my wallet would it be "unprofessional" of me to call the police and report the theft since I'm a nurse and I should be prepared to deal with worse...

  3. False accusations.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    How is my attitude unprofessional?The grumpy family member was standing next to the person on the other end of the radio and knew I was going to other room first. I don't have a right to be angry with...

  4. False accusations.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, but there's no record of when the call was made over the radio. So arguably I might have called 911 when I showed up thirty minutes

  5. False accusations.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I don't think

  6. How inactive must a patient be to develop a DVT?

    Capp posted a topic in General Students

    I've always wondered this. Anybody ever hear of an answer to this

  7. How inactive must a patient be to develop a DVT?

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the answers, guys. I've always wondered if SCDs were necessary on a patient that ambulates throughout the day, but your comments really make it seem like they

  8. Subcutaneous and IM injections.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I always pinch an inch so I'm sure there's not much chance of going into the muscle. It's just that I've never really worried about it before, and now I'm realizing it's a possibility. I guess...

  9. Encouraging social interation in elderly.

    Capp posted a topic in Geriatric, LTC

    Does anyone have any good tips for how to encourage an elderly person at risk for social isolation to go out and establish contacts and be more social? It seems that many residents could benefit from...

  10. Encouraging social interation in elderly.

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I'm talking about nursing home residents. I understand what you guys are saying about finding something they're interested in. Forcing them to go to something they won't enjoy will just make them less...

  11. Vocab for HESI A2

    Capp posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quick question for those of you who have taken the HESI A2. Does the vocab section only contain medical words? Or is it also general vocabulary knowledge? Is there some resource out there that I could...

  12. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    Romaniak, I feel for you, being right on the edge. Maybe four people will drop? It's

  13. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    Hurray for us! We got accepted into a community college! I'm pretty sure we're not #1 because Chelsea said the top score was 198 or something. So . . . somebody had a 4.0 and a 98%? Bloody

  14. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    Just got my email; I got in. I'm not gonna lie, I've been working on the computer all morning, and every five minutes I click on the tab that has my email open and click "refresh." My acceptance...

  15. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    Not yet. I guess we'll get them tomorrow. Why does it take so long to type "You got in!" and email it 32 times? That email better be in iambic pentameter when I get

  16. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    The whole thing is kind of a drag. I mean there's not really a difference between a 3.7 student and a 4.0 student, in my opinion. And the test? You only need to miss a couple questions on each section...

  17. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    Chelsea, they emailed you already? For the LPN program? I haven't gotten an email yet. Maybe they've emailed the people who didn't get in but not the people who did get in? To find the "total score"...

  18. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    The only other school I applied to was Tacoma Community College, which has 300 applicants and uses a lottery system. So I think I have about a 10% chance of having my name drawn there. Otherwise, I'm...

  19. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    Reading comprehension is usually easy for me, but there were several questions that were really ambiguous, that could be interpreted multiple ways. The Hesi was weird for me. I felt like all the...

  20. Has anyone heard back from North Seattle CC's Fall 2011 lpn admissions?

    Capp replied to margritamix's topic in Washington Nursing

    I was given the same information as Toucheturtle and what I did (because I was thinking about it way too much) is combine both the GPA and test score into one score out of 100 by multiplying the GPA...

  21. Quick question about Hesi A2

    Capp posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Quick question about the HESI A2. In the reading comprehension portion of the test, are you able to go back and read the passage after reading the questions? I heard that you weren't allowed to go...

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Cool, thanks. I just downloaded the study guide; it looks like it'll be really

  23. Quick question about Hesi A2

    Capp replied to Capp's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok. That's good to know.

  24. 94% oh HESI, but still nervous

    Capp replied to bahamilton's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm going to buy these two books. Was it the Hesi A2 that you

  25. Pre-nursing Statistics HELP!!!

    Capp replied to unionnurse12's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I never found a good source on the Internet. And I spent many hours searching because my statistics class was rubbish. Basically our homework and tests were not based on our textbook. I think my...
