  6. Anxiety during clinicals, Plz help???

    LCinTraining replied to Minas's topic in General Students

    LCinTraining replied to Dezy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  12. Family's responsiblity of taking care of older parents?

    LCinTraining replied to micstn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I am probably just too close to my father in laws death to think rationally, but I, personally, just feel it would be selfish of me to expect my children to take care of me when I'm aged and dying....

  13. Family's responsiblity of taking care of older parents?

    LCinTraining replied to micstn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  14. Family's responsiblity of taking care of older parents?

    LCinTraining replied to micstn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    this is not your place to say though. And it is a generalization to say extreme bad parents are few. You, as the care provider do not know the family dynamic. That little old lady who cries about how...

  19. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    LCinTraining replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    I would still think the response is not an appropriate response for an ER health care provider. If you want ridiculous, I will only have tales of my days on the truck since my only ER experience is...

  20. What was the MOST ridiculous thing a patient came to the ER for?

    LCinTraining replied to JUSTYSMOM's topic in Emergency

    Painful intercourse is a real problem and telling a woman to simply not have sex is seriously problematic. Is it ED worthy? No, but sexual dysfunction is nothing to laugh at. After 8 years of seering...
