  1. Im A Licensed Woman Thank You

    DaFreak71 replied to mismissy69's topic in General Nursing

    :w00t: You go girl!

  2. Why do I have trouble saying no????

    DaFreak71 replied to RN-TO-BE's topic in General Nursing

    A lot of women have a hard time saying no. We are socialized to be accommodating and agreeable, and when we don't really have an overtly obvious reason to say no (other than we'd just rather not do...

  3. Class Average in Nursing School

    DaFreak71 replied to hercsp's topic in General Students

    In our program, we have to have a 75 average to pass. I do not know what our class average is, but I think the highest personal average is 95. I suspect that there are several who might not be around...

  4. Husbands not happy about nursing school- potential jealousy?

    DaFreak71 replied to buddiage's topic in General Students

    Love is more than an emotion - it is action. Somebody holding you back from your destiny is not exhibiting 'loving' behavior. And whether the cause is jealousy, or WHATEVER, somebody that would hold...

  5. Share Your Saying

    DaFreak71 replied to angelique777's topic in Nursing Humor

    Let them that don't want any have memories of getting none. If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always got. Friends help you move. Real friends help you move...

  6. Gave my first heparin shot wrong, had a horrible clinicle day!!

    DaFreak71 replied to CrystalClear75's topic in General Students

    We just gave injections to each other in lab today. We had to demonstrate an IM and a SC injection. If your school doesn't allow for practice, get some supplies from a friend or wherever you can and...

  7. Cant find a job in almost 6 months. Thats ridiculous!

    DaFreak71 replied to Woman_in_love's topic in General Nursing

    Do you have a heavy israeli accent? I ask because I wonder if that might be construed as a potential issue in employment. Not that I think it's a justification for not hiring you, but considering...

  8. Absolutely an outrage... (RANT)

    DaFreak71 replied to LoriAlabamaRN's topic in General Nursing

    I know how you feel. It's such an obviously stupid thing to do to make sick people come to work just so they can infect others. I am in school and our official policy says that you can't go to...

  9. Gender Relations

    DaFreak71 replied to nurse_shane's topic in Men in Nursing

    Remember that we women expect you to read our minds and sense our emotions before we are even fully aware of them ourselves. All you have to do is nod and make sympathetic grunts (like ahhh, ohhh,...

  10. Is there any CRNA schools that did not fill seats

    DaFreak71 replied to sw21 RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Actually, a former co-worker of my husband just started his CRNA program at Wolford in Naples,Florida. They had several seats that did not get filled. Everyone who interviewed got accepted and they...

  11. new grad starting in critical care

    DaFreak71 replied to watsondr's topic in General Nursing

    Go for it. My husband went straight into the ICU, no problems at all. He had a few month preceptorship and doesn't regret it at all. I'm in nursing school now, and the school I attend has an NP...

  12. Pre-made Medication Cards?

    DaFreak71 replied to mainestudent's topic in General Students

    We use "Nurse's Med Deck" 9th edition. It looks like a big recipe box filled with big cards that contain the following information: Drug name, classification Indications Action Pharmacokinetics...

  13. microbiology for pregnant women

    DaFreak71 replied to maggijo's topic in General Students

    In our microbiology lab, they were all attenuated strains, which means that they are rendered less virulent. I would think this is common in undergrad labs, but I couldn't swear to it. Ask your...

  14. Salary question??

    DaFreak71 replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    I'm basing my figures on what my husband made his first year after graduating from the ADN program I am attending. He has worked some overtime, but not a whole lot.

  15. Online Associates Degree in Nursing??

    DaFreak71 replied to timsgirl's topic in General Nursing

    To my knowledge, there are no accredited nursing programs that allow you to earn an ADN entirely online. At least I hope not. I wish you luck with your personal family issues and I hope you'll be...

  16. Salary question??

    DaFreak71 replied to joe134's topic in General Nursing

    I have yet to see a program that requires nothing in the way of pre-requisites. For my program, I had to take: Biology A&P 1 and 2 Microbiology Speech English comp 1 and 2 Nutrition for...

  17. Puuting a care plan together

    DaFreak71 replied to milenko's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Yes, she was referring to a patient with redness over a bony prominence. She said that it was an intervention that used to be widely used until they (dunno who "they" are) discovered that it does...

    DaFreak71 replied to Thunderwolf's topic in Men in Nursing

    Thank you for sharing this. My husbands father was emotionally absent his entire life. His father had no expectations of him other than that he "get a job", husbands dad worked in a factory. I...

  19. Developing Advocacy Skills

    DaFreak71 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am a first semester nursing student. We are taught in our classes that if something is being done that isn't right, we have to advocate for our patients. I am overwhelmingly in support of this! I...

  20. Developing Advocacy Skills

    DaFreak71 replied to DaFreak71's topic in General Nursing

    LOL, bumping my own thread

  21. Most recent problem (VERY LONG) Also posted in first year

    DaFreak71 replied to JentheRN05's topic in General Nursing

    I hope you continue to enjoy your new job! I have had times in my life where even though I wanted to do something, the timing was off. I had issues going on in my life that prevented me from...

  22. Student nurse, What I saw very upset....

    DaFreak71 replied to crb613's topic in Medical-Surgical

    One possible explanation of why the patient did not complain or scream out in pain is that he was surrounded by healthcare professionals, both nurses and a doctor. He was led to believe that this was...

  23. night shift nurses-

    DaFreak71 replied to stn2003's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I am in nursing school and my husband, who is a nurse, works the 7p-7a shift. He is night owl by nature, but even he has trouble sometimes. The trouble mostly occurs on his days off. He wants to stay...

  24. Ny BOCES LPN Exam

    DaFreak71 replied to dreamofnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't think cheating has such a narrow definition. Under that rigid of a definition, writing down formulas on your hand would be perfectly acceptable since they didn't involve answers that didn't...

  25. Ny BOCES LPN Exam

    DaFreak71 replied to dreamofnurse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Not to be a fuddy duddy, but isn't that cheating?
