  1. Entrance Exam (hesi) TX

    Can anyone give me insight on this ? I got the study guide .. Supposedly we only have to take the reading and math.
  2. accelerated bsn programs in texas ??

    anyone know of any ?? thanks !!
  3. What can be done??

    I have a question that maybe can be answered here. My gma had to be put in a ltc facility about a year ago. She has always had mental issues (severe panic attacks, agorophobia, "imaginary" symptoms, etc.) and once her husband died she basically laid ...
  4. HUGE A&P Dilemma, object to dissecting cats, any options?

    Our professor said the first day "If you are a PETA person, this class isn't for you" . I'm certainly NOT a "peta person" but I do love cats and very disturbed that these cats are possibly bred for dissection. That is horrible !
  5. My dental hyginenist was surprised that I was an RN.

    jeeeeeeeeez my best friend is hispanic and is the most intelligent, honest, and reasonable person I've ever known. I agree, just ignore it, but please don't go back to her again.
  6. What can be done??

    there is a new dr. who seems to be much more likeable, caring, and positive !
  7. HUGE A&P Dilemma, object to dissecting cats, any options?

    Oh good, I hope that is true ! I heard they were bred in Mexico , and it was very disturbing to me.
  8. HUGE A&P Dilemma, object to dissecting cats, any options?

    I sure hope so. :)
  9. HUGE A&P Dilemma, object to dissecting cats, any options?

    I have 9 cats :) (all former strays/ferals) that I love with all my heart. (one is actually getting surgery done tomorrow on his ear!) We start the cat dissection on 10/16 I believe , and no I am not happy about it at all. Not the actual dissectio...
  10. What can be done??

    No he isn't moving, nothign like that. He said he can continue to treat her on an emergency basis. He just basically said there is not much he can do for her anymore. My mother actually said she is glad, as she overheard him saying some not so nic...
  11. What can be done??

    update : A nurse from the facility called and said her Dr. is terminating the relationship. A letter has supposedly been written (by him) explaining his reasons, etc. Now the hunt is on for a new Dr. for her. I am very curious and interested to...
  12. That Johnson & Johnson commercial!!!!!!!!!!!

    I like the commericial but I am smart enough to realize it is unrealistic.
  13. Stressed out and Getting Out

    I considered doing the dog grooming thing. It looks fun and relaxing !
  14. LPN/RN the big picture???

    are the lvn bridge to adn programs as competitive as the straight adn programs ?
  15. Not exactly the Motel 6, but....

    My husband had a kidney stone once while we were on vacation and I was sooo uncomfortable in those hard chairs ! The whole thing lasted hours and hours on into the morning. A very nice nurse let me go sleep in an empty room. I was forever grateful ...
  16. What can be done??

    Thanks for the insight.
  17. What can be done??

    It's like if we try and encourage her to get up , invite her places, etc. there's a boundary issue, but if we ignore the problem we are neglectful. Bottom line she is mentally ill and should have gotten help decades ago.
  18. What can be done??

    I guess I don't understand what you mean by boundary issues. I am simply concerned about her and was wondering if anyone had seen anything similar and if there were any solutions. No one likes to see their loved ones "give up" on life, and refuse t...
  19. Where is the nursing proffesion going?

    I am not sure it is a calling to me (I am not even sure what that means! haha) but I do love helping people, making people's lives easier, and I love the fast pace.
  20. Is there anyway you can get a job in another field .. or maybe on your holidays off, like christmas, get a seasonal job at a retail store ?? or substitute teaching ? You do sound stressed out and very tired. Good luck !
  21. Rad Tech ??

    My best friend is a radiology tech and absolutely loves her job. She tells me I will hate nursing, all nurses she knows are unhappy, etc. etc. and that I should go into radiology. it seems like there are so many more opportunities for nursing and n...
  22. Coitus Interruptus?

    yes when I was in high school I walked in on a friend and her boyfriend. Not a good visual !!!!
  23. You will find an excess of complaining and dissatisfaction on any career board. Good luck !
  24. "A monkey can be trained to do what you nurses do"

    That is a very mean thing to say
  25. What can be done??

    great advice, thank you. as far as what she enjoys she seems to enjoy going to the dr !
