  1. Sexy nurse image in Hooters ad

    Jonathank posted a topic in General Nursing

    Here we go again: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GrsUmdNS2tg Let these buffoons know how you feel. Express your displeasure here as I've already done (copy and paste this address into your e-mail...

  2. Blending Chiropractic and NP

    Jonathank replied to Loque's topic in General Nursing

    Your approach sounds balanced. So far in my ADN training, nutrition and exercise seem to be getting glossed over in favor of meds. Alternative therapies and wholistic approaches get mentioned in...

  3. Lethal injection nurse???

    Jonathank replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

    Stuff happens. The world won't end. Besides: once the first person bumps it, it kind of becomes new

  4. Lethal injection nurse???

    Jonathank replied to Zhakrin's topic in General Nursing

    No way, no how. Not on a train, not in the rain. Not in a box, not with a fox. Not on a boat, not with a

  5. Nursing Pets

    Jonathank replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    When I see this thread title, I keep getting images of a cat being breast fed or a dog with a stethoscope and penlight. Count me as one more who values the companionship and stress relief that my dog...

  6. Doing real CPR as a student.

    Jonathank replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    Right now, I'd prefer to watch- unless I'm in a situation where I was the only person there who could save someone. At least one of my instructors has said to use the method you're trained in, and I...

  7. Infant Circumcision in Nursing school

    Jonathank replied to AmberLB's topic in General Students

    I can see both sides of this one. It's cultural and traditional, but you're cutting nerve endings in a place where the kid will want them later in

  8. For those of you who are certified in CPR?

    Jonathank replied to prime11214's topic in General Students

    I didn't see any put downs. The advice to relax was relevant to the tone of your OP. And it also apparently still is, given the tone of the above words. You'll probably watch a video and be given a...

  9. Are Nursing Dx "Malleable"?

    Jonathank replied to soon_2Bnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You don't have an NDX book? There are several "risk for" NDX's- including at least 2 specifically nutrition-related ones. Your program is probably just discouraging you from using "risk for" NDX's...

  10. Entering nursing school in Sept. Any suggestion??

    Jonathank replied to sltenbroeck's topic in General Students

    Those lectures got me through A&P I, when I had a professor whose lectures were unlistenable. I had a great professor for A&P II, so the Cal lectures were just gravy then... Dr. Diamond is...

  11. Med Surg.

    Jonathank replied to BMT_survivor's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    As someone already suggested, sign up for more books on evolve. Also, you can often find questions by searching "(name of topic) nclex questions" or "(name of topic) practice

  12. Nursing Theory Mystification Model

    Jonathank replied to rngreenhorn's topic in General Students

    I feel you. I abhor our ADN program's fundamentals/med-surg/catch-all/kitchen sink "concept-based" textbook. The fluffy, undescriptive, pompous passive voice writing is just too hard to take...

  13. English as Second Language Nurses!

    Jonathank replied to 0907's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're already working on what you want to work on. Don't be so hard on yourself. English as a SL is hard because of the strange mixture of Latin, Germanic and Norse influences, and...

  14. 0.45% Sodium Chloride + 2.5% dextrose

    Jonathank replied to lkw56's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Volume is volume. Unless you're leaving out info, the only volume I see is 500

  15. Grade Appeals

    Jonathank replied to frustrated SN's topic in General Students

    It's group dynamics. Each response gets influenced by the ones before it. One starts it, a couple of others conform, and then the others start piling on. The attitude of the professor is indeed the...

  16. Advise on failing out of Med-Surg ASN program

    Jonathank replied to SuSanQR46's topic in General Students

    I guess the general advice is keep your chin up. Your determination comes thru in your post. You've already worked on your test taking skills. See if you can appeal to get another chance at your...

  17. Placebo's & Trust

    Jonathank replied to DJ-Adia's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know about the legality (it may vary by state). But giving a placebo without consent is at least unethical. It's a violation of trust to say you're giving something that you don't actually...

  18. Can A Nurse Lose Their Nursing License If They Tested Positive For HIV?

    Jonathank replied to MMA-N-Nursing's topic in General Nursing

    "writing a letter to Penthouse forum" This made me

  19. New Job 35 miles away

    Jonathank replied to jesuslovesme's topic in General Nursing

    New car or not, the laws of supply and demand still apply. The guzzler will not be in demand, and the smaller car you want will be. You're not the only person who's noticed the price of gas is up....

  20. Can A Nurse Lose Their Nursing License If They Tested Positive For HIV?

    Jonathank replied to MMA-N-Nursing's topic in General Nursing

    Whoever does that firing better have some really solid documentation about reasons other than HIV staus, and be sure that the party being fired doesn't have any documentation of discriminatory...

  21. concierge ? Really?

    Jonathank replied to ktwlpn's topic in General Nursing

    The pampering of the family and decent nurse/patient ratios aren't mutually exclusive. As somebody said, the extra services will be paid for. And as somebody else said, poor people won't get the...

  22. New Job 35 miles away

    Jonathank replied to jesuslovesme's topic in General Nursing

    I saw an article about this recently. If you'd be getting a new car anyway, by all means get a fuel efficient one. But if you're trying to get a decent resale value on your old car, realize that the...

  23. If we are supposed to be promoting gender equality in nursing

    Jonathank replied to LPNweezy's topic in General Nursing

    I'll co-sign both of the responses you've gotten. The male nurse forums are kind of irrelevant to me (I've never seen a thread there that held my interest.) But they do get some traffic, so...

  24. I'm becoming discouraged about becoming a nurse :/ How will I get a job?

    Jonathank replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in General Nursing

    Lots of openings in rural parts of middle America as well. Didn't somebody post recently about a $20K bonus still available in KY ? I kind of chuckle when I read posts about the lack of jobs for new...

  25. Impersonating a nurse

    Jonathank replied to Elleveein's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Well, now we know that most of the assumptions most of us were making are indeed the law in CA. Both of those are pretty clear
