  1. Community Health Question

    All_Smiles_RN replied to zenman's topic in General Nursing

    I know it's easier to just hand them a dollar, but how about pulling into the Burger King drive-thru and handing them a burger instead? Then no worries about them buying alcohol/cigarettes....

  2. Ethical question...what would you do?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to ksrnstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe the nurse and the patient have a friendly relationship? Maybe the patient has told her before to help herself? You never know.

  3. Male nurse & women's healthcare

    All_Smiles_RN replied to MichaelSSSS's topic in General Nursing

    If that is where your interest lays, go for it! Just remember, try not to take it personal if a woman requests a female nurse. Good luck.

  4. Obesity in the hospital

    All_Smiles_RN replied to dietersmanifesto's topic in General Nursing

    This argument doesn't cut it for me. Someone in renal failure is going to require more care than someone with a broken leg. Patients should get the care they need based on the severity of their...

  5. Please, Fran Needs Our Prayers

    All_Smiles_RN replied to leslie :-D's topic in General Nursing

    I will pray for Fran too. May God bless you.

  6. Has Anyone Read the Echo Heron Books?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to BabyRN2Be's topic in General Nursing

    Just last week I finished reading her book Tending Lives: Nurses on the Medical Front. It was a great book, as many other posters have said. I was not sure about the other two books because they are...

  7. What degree/certification do you hold?

    All_Smiles_RN posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm curious as to what percent of the board's users are LPNs, RNs, etc. As for me, an ADN student.

  8. Professionalism and Nurses

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Dixiedi's topic in General Nursing

    So she came into the room happily and addressed your father by his first name? That doesn't sound unprofessional. It sounds like she was just trying to make him feel comfortable in his environment....

  9. Purchasing Textbooks? Best ways/cheapest?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to cherokeesummer's topic in General Students

    I had no clue. Thanks, going to check it out right now.

  10. How do you pick your clinical assignment?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to HyperRNRachel's topic in General Students

    Ouch, I already drive an hour north to get to school. I hope clinicals aren't another hour north... that would be one heck of a drive home! I'm not sure how it works, hopefully I'll find out at...

  11. No Privacy With BON?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to NurseDiva04's topic in General Nursing

    I definitely don't like the fact that they publish your address for anyone to see. That's just asking for trouble.

  12. Is there/should there be a gay/lesbian nurses association?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to inquiringnurse's topic in General Nursing

    My take on the situation: 1. This is this person's first post on the board. I wouldn't make my 1st post so controversial, so I'd hazard a guess and say this person is a troll. Sorry if I'm wrong, but...

  13. cell phone usage at work

    All_Smiles_RN replied to night owl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't understand this one. Everyone is always saying how they have too much of a patient load and not enough time to give the best quality care. Using your cell phone at work is not only rude and...

  14. What degree/certification do you hold?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to All_Smiles_RN's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, we're neighbors. :) I live in Deltona. Lived in Debary for 5 years before. Nice to hear from a local face. :)

  15. Text Books

    All_Smiles_RN replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in General Students

    I avoid the mean cashiers by telling them I'm just writing down the prices of each book that I'll be purchasing so that I can save up some money. Meanwhile, I'm writing the ISBN's down. The college...

  16. Text Books

    All_Smiles_RN replied to LouisianaNurse2006's topic in General Students

    I don't think anyone mentioned www.amazon.com I use Amazon and half.com almost exlusively. I'm angry about the ebay/half merger myself. I don't want to bid and wait a week to see if I won the book, I...

  17. Study techniques, tips and tricks

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Nurse Jeni's topic in General Nursing

    lol, that's what I was trying to describe in my post, just couldn't think of the word. :)

  18. Study techniques, tips and tricks

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Nurse Jeni's topic in General Nursing

    After you write your lecture notes in class, write and rewrite your notes. The more you hand write them, the more familiar you will become with the material. ALso, if you can make a chart out of...

  19. What can I do with my BSN that Assoc. RN's can't?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to doodlebug914's topic in General Nursing

    Why do we have to be on par with other professions? Nursing is its own profession. I don't see the need to be part of the stereotypical ideal of what a professional "is". All nurses are professionals....

  20. Phi Theta Kappa... is it worth the $55 bucks?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    As far as I know, you don't have to put any time into it, but they do various activites throughout the semester that you are welcome to join. Here's the link to the national website to find out more...

  21. I passed the NCLEX!!!!!!

    All_Smiles_RN replied to Nursekatydid's topic in General Nursing

    Congratulations! That's awesome news. :balloons:

  22. Phi Theta Kappa... is it worth the $55 bucks?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    I got the invite too, but didn't have $70 to spare. At my school, as long as you were invited and still hold a GPA that's good enough, you can join at any time. I tell myself maybe one day, lol....

  23. Also Ran Careers... what did you decide against before choosing nursing

    All_Smiles_RN replied to JennInColumbus's topic in General Nursing

    When I first started college, I was a business major. Didn't know what I wanted to do with it, but it sounded like a good choice. A few semesters later, I changed my mind. Many of my friends were...

  24. A little dissappointed in allheart.com

    All_Smiles_RN replied to studentnurse74's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Alright, I did a little detective work. Here is their contact info for anyone that needs it:AllHeart.com 431 Calle San Pablo Camarillo, CA 93012 FAX: 1-805-445-8816 McGrew & Associates 431...

  25. Blood donation? Donor underweight? Is there a height/weight ratio? Or just 110lbs?

    All_Smiles_RN replied to MargRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not sure, good question. Whenever I donate, they just verify that I'm at least 17 years old, 110 lbs+, BP above 90/50, no temp, no low iron. I'm curious as to the answer of your question....
