I agree with a couple of others: The class with the lower grade you are going to completely abandon, and place all your time and effort in passing the class with the higher grade. Then you retake the other. During the two quarters/semesters yo...

Are you both working? Knuckle down for a year and a half, live only on your partner's salary, and dedicate yours entirely to your student loans (average RN salary in Seattle is about 60-65k). Just live like misers for a year in cheap, small, remote...

Failed the second quarter of our 6 quarter program. Mentally I was in a fog, couldn't concentrate, etc. Went to my doc, turned out I had sleep apnea with anxiety (I had gained a good 15-20 pounds since starting my pre-requs part time while working ...

Older thread, but the for cardiology purposes I've read really good things about the Welch Allyn Elite and DLX. In one comparison they rated as having about the same loudness as the Littmann cardiology and master cardiology, but with much less disto...

Along the same lines of the luminox, I went with the Seiko 5 sport Monster. They have the same level of brightness as the luminox, but at a much more affordable price (for me at least:). I like them because, as with the luminox, you get constant...

Is it ok to bring something like a box of doughnuts for the unit I'll be in, as a thank you? I know their day would be a lot easier if I weren't there poking my head in everything they do and grilling them with questions all day. If not doughnuts, ...

Cool. Excellent ideas all, thank you! I've picked up a couple containers of those costco mini brownie things, very dense, very chocolaty, but nice and clean! I'll be doing surgery center and a few others for just one day each, but I thoutht it woul...

Excellent. Doughnuts are good, but can be sticky......cookies are good, but are crumbly. As nurses, what are your preferred snacks?

Though I'm not yet in the nursing program, I too have had money issues. However, it was a great opportunity to pear down all the unecessary from my life and keep only the essential things I needed. At 32 I swallowed my pride and now "rent" for 200 ...

I heard a congressman (or senator) had come up with an idea that would allow people not to have to buy insurance, but would force them to agree, in exchange, to accept complete and full financial liability, regardless of how much it is, and said debt...

So what if they are trust fund babies? The fact they have money does not mean that you cannot make money yourself. Sounds like jealousy and envy to me. Apparently you didn't follow the youtube link where a member of the board of trustees of social ...

"This obligation is related to the fact most of us recieved public education and accepted , that with that education we would then pay to educate the next generation by paying the taxes necessary to educate them". Wrong. It sounds good, but its wr...

Public education is socialized education, i.e. everyone is obligated to pay for it, even if you don't have any kids or were educated in a privately funded school. And thats the lie of social security. People who are paying into it now are NOT creat...

I can't for the life of me understand why someone would want to be completely dependent on the government (i.e. other working people that pay taxes) for the essentials in life, why people delegate away their personal responsibilities. The very once ...

Oh, I know your not. But some of the reply posts did, mentioning wanting to recall the Gov. and such. It was posts in the thread i was referring to, not you directly. Sorry, sometimes what I type isn't what i was thinking and I'm not as clear as i...

Holy run-on sentence Batman.........:) Ya, sorry, I got a little (o.k., a lot) off topic there. But as often happens in a thread with over 60 replies, the topic throughout the thread tends to wander and change. So while it did not directly answer y...

Correction: That would be about 40% that pay no federal income taxes.

If you tax corporations they will either leave or simply raise the price of their products and pass on the increase to the consumers, even the poor consumers. If sales drop, they cut positions to compensate. It saddens me when I hear people get ang...

"It is not professional, NOR appropriate, to ever ask a patient for their personal contact information unless you are asking for the sole purpose of putting it in the chart." But what if she's cute? JUST KIDDING, lol. No, I know its not professiona...

Pre-nursing student here. Regardless of whether or not it is recomended or even appropriate, if you were to ask the patient if you could have their contact info and thoroughly explain to them that it is not for anything professional, but strictly fo...

wow.......I'm a pre-nursing student and just ran across this. Had to tell myself to take a deep breath and just take baby steps.....get that A&P done first.......lol:) Uber excited though, can't wait for stuff like this!!

Such a loss to one loved so much is always painful. Knowing how he was ill-treated only adds to that. What you are feeling is normal and is felt by every almost every member of the human family as they loose a parent they have had and loved their e...
