  1. OB Question, Am Confused!

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in General Students

    With regard to the position of the fetus: There's right or left (meaning the fetus is looking toward moms left pelvis or ??) Then there's occiput (head presentation), mentum (face presentation) and...

  2. Lincare Advice

    DaFreak71 replied to angeloublue22's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Even though this question was posed back in March, I figure it can't hurt to add my two cents in case anyone else would like to know what working at Lincare is like. I am a LPN and I have only been...

  3. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

    DaFreak71 replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

    When I post a new thread asking for suggestions, feel free to toss me a few. You paint a rather grim view of the folks you work with. If I said something off color in a joking manner and I was...

  4. ISFJ/ESFJ and specialties

    DaFreak71 replied to RPN_2012's topic in General Nursing

    hi there-- for those who are unfamiliar with the acronyms, they correspond to certain personality traits. for example, isfj would indicate (i) introvert (s) sensing (f) feeling (j) judging. esfj...

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    After spending the last five or so Sundays watching "Life" (the nature show narrated by Oprah) I'm beginning to believe that many animal species are infinitely more intelligent than man. And I'm...

  6. Really need help studying for excelsior exams

    DaFreak71 replied to medicdadof2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I'm in the process of applying to Excelsior, so I haven't taken any classes yet. The only ones I'll need are the 7 (maybe less) nursing exams and the info lit class (gonna take the sage advice of...

  7. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

    DaFreak71 replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh wow, that's sad that she has M.S. I guess it's good this came up when it did; I can see how this could have caused a lot of negative feelings due to a medical issue. I'm glad you have a sense of...

  8. My Plan for Excelsior

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in Online Distance Learning

    When I first began to learn about Excelsior, I couldn't help but think "wow...I can sail through this stuff quick!". But the other day something happened. I have a math tutor that comes to my home...

  10. Really need help studying for excelsior exams

    DaFreak71 replied to medicdadof2's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Sherry, What was different about the practice exams that you spent $30.00 for and the ones that Excelsior charges $65.00 for? How many practice questions are on each test with the website you...

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I misspoke. Some LPN programs do indeed teach nursing diagnoses. My bad! =

  12. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

    DaFreak71 replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Dear OP, I was thinking about your situation today and something occurred to me. Is it in any way possible that this person is (in their own strange way) attempting to befriend you? I know this...

  13. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

    DaFreak71 replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

    It is irksome when a poster relays an emotional experience just to have spelling/grammatical errors pointed out as a possible cause as to why they are being referred to as "Dummy". I don't doubt...

  14. Whew! Glad that's over!

    DaFreak71 replied to JulesRN10's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Hey Jules, thanks TONS for the info! That sounds really awesome, especially for those of us who have already taken very similar courses and know how to navigate the internet and gather information...

  16. Aye "Dummie". Excuse Me!

    DaFreak71 replied to determine2brn's topic in General Nursing

    Oh my gosh, I just wanna hug you for having gone through such a demeaning situation. The word that jumps to my mind is passive aggressive. Trying to pass off mean spirited behavior as "humor" or...

  17. Lost it at Work

    DaFreak71 replied to skittlebear's topic in General Nursing

    On your days off, chose a "silent" ring tone for your employer or whenever they call, just dump them to voice mail. When you check your messages, just hit delete when you know it's from work. No...

  18. Scaring me!

    DaFreak71 replied to Dragonsmack's topic in General Nursing

    No need to be afraid if you go into this with the right attitude. When someone is engaging in gossip, ignore it. If the conversation turns political/religious/whatever...excuse yourself and go do...

  19. ProCPR

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in General Nursing

    Have any of you used ProCPR to renew your health care provider CPR card? I had never heard of them before today. I actually saw an ad here on allnurses for them lol. They say you can watch a video,...

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm so glad that you're with a great company! It's nice to have that feeling of security in these troublesome times. Congrats to you for passing the CPNE! I know you must have been VERY relieved...

  21. Trying to understand difference between LPN and RN practice....

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I agree. If I had relied on my nursing program to provide me with ALL the education I needed to understand nursing, I would not be very smart. This is NOT because my program was academically faulty,...

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Hey thanks for the reply! I am SO NOT going anywhere near PSA. My husband is a RN at Legacy Salmon Creek (no LPN jobs, not even many RN jobs there) and he has warned me about PSA. He and his...

    DaFreak71 replied to lovesunsets's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I live in Washington (right across the border from Oregon). I was 2.5 months shy of graduating as a RN and my better half got an amazing job offer at a hospital here...so we left the South....
