  1. What would you have done?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Headhurt's topic in General Nursing

    I hate it that lawyers and suit-happy idiots hold us all

  2. Dealing with a student who submit another's work

    hypnotic_nurse replied to edrantunn's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I find that surprising, that one's own work would be considered plagiarism. Maybe submitting the exact same paper is what they mean? I know several people in Master's programs who have concentrated on...

  3. Question for all nurses

    hypnotic_nurse replied to srhdaw's topic in General Nursing

    I think better when I write. So I used paper and pencil. A number of my classmates used cassette recorders, though -- which is also a good idea. Although I type well and fast, I wouldn't have used...

  4. please help on background check in BNE!!!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Rob7177's topic in General Nursing

    Like the logging of old growth forests or killing the last dodo sort of thing? (sorry, just had this visual of someone mugging Mother Nature)

  5. Is anyone working as a research nurse?? I am seeing

    hypnotic_nurse replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    It differs depending on the specialty area and the study (now, that helps, doesn't it?!). It tends to be a somewhat flexible job. Depending on study requirements, you will probably not have to work...

  6. scared about passing out!!

    hypnotic_nurse replied to futurenrskatie's topic in General Nursing

    If you are really afraid you will pass out here are some things you can try: Sit to watch the procedure. If you must stand, lean against the wall and make sure your knees are not locked -- bend them...

  7. Nursing neglect... Tornados

    hypnotic_nurse replied to almccormick's topic in General Nursing

    I not only grew up in Oklahoma, but I still live here. Some Oklahomans, on hearing the sirens, will actually go out into their front yards to see if they can see the tornado

  8. In term of better living environment, Phoenix better or Kansas City better?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to niceone's topic in Arizona Nursing

    :chuckle You got that right! I wasn't thinking of anything but Oklahoma when I wrote that! A good friend of mine is from Minnesnowta (as he likes to call it) and says that when he retires he's going...

  9. In term of better living environment, Phoenix better or Kansas City better?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to niceone's topic in Arizona Nursing

    Kansas is windy. Smog tends to blow away there. I know there were plenty of nursing jobs in 2001 when I left (I doubt that's changed). Since my only job in the field there was at KUMC, I couldn't...

  10. In term of better living environment, Phoenix better or Kansas City better?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to niceone's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I lived in Olathe (suburb) and went to school at JCCC (probably when you were teaching, Touch!). While I would never buy another home in Olathe, the town of badly built new homes, it was a TREMENDOUS...

  13. A curious question about naming babies! :)

    hypnotic_nurse replied to flashpoint's topic in Ob/Gyn

    My mom worked home health for a long time. One of her patients who had deliverd at home filled out the birth certificate and asked my mom to look at it. She had misspelled "Brian" as "Brain". When my...

  14. What do you love about our job, what do you not love about your job?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Nursing

    I love my job -- research. I love being on "the cutting edge". I enjoy my patients. I like it that some are long term and some are short term. I like the mix of paper and patients. It's wonderful that...

  15. Where do I take CLEP exams?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to J Lynn's topic in Online Distance Learning

    You can take it at any university or community college that offers cleps, without being enrolled there. If you are going to take the English clep, make sure the school uses a professor to grade it and...

  16. social anxiety disorder

    hypnotic_nurse replied to sophieness's topic in Nursing Career

    I agree with lady jezebel -- the more good experiences you have, and the more you attempt new things, the easier it will be (kind of a self-directed behavior modification). If that doesn't work for...

  17. How long have you been an Rn, LPN, etc...?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Nursing

  18. New interesting abortion poll

    hypnotic_nurse replied to danu3's topic in General Nursing

    So if it were illegal to abort zygotes then would that make the IUD

  19. Supplements for memory and fatigue?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to SpudID's topic in General Students

    I've been taking ginkgo biloba since my short term memory disappeared between my divorce and nursing school and turning 40 (I'm 47 now). Don't know if improvement is due to being out of nursing...

  20. Has anyone ever????

    hypnotic_nurse replied to msteka's topic in California Nursing

  21. Is English required to be an RN?

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Jailhouse RN's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    But Bori, the rules are "no name calling". And besides, being a foreigner does not mean the person is of a different race. Different country,

  22. unprofessional behavior in RN community

    hypnotic_nurse replied to miphillli's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    I several older nurses who swear like sailors and sometimes it slips out in front of the patient. However, these women are also some of the BEST nurses ever. Back stabbing is rampant -- all it takes...

  23. Am I overeacting???

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Deb123j's topic in General Nursing

    You did not over-react. Your mom can always rent him a videogame another time. How is he supposed to learn if there are no

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a special ring, made from my melted down wedding ring. Prior to going to nursing school, I divorced. He hadn't wanted me to go to nursing school...and I figured I'd need the extra income being...

  25. Electric Shock Therapy

    hypnotic_nurse replied to Mazzi's topic in Psychiatric

    Some of the recent studies have shown that ECT works particularly well for suicidal ideation. Although I haven't watched it, several of my former patients had it -- and the outcomes were very good. I...
