  1. Is attending a patient's funeral overstepping "the" boundary?

    boushie87 replied to BostonTerrierLover's topic in General Nursing

    It's sad but I look for my patient I had in LTC (I am a student) in the paper at times so I can attend the wake at least. I think it's a sign of respect and support and I would imagine during my...

  2. Just curious, What do they teach in Nursing School these days?

    boushie87 replied to AMN74's topic in General Nursing

    Just a thought as well. Our "generation" is taught in this way (to only learn to pass tests) not because of our attitudes and want it all now behavior but because of the older generations in...

  3. Nervous About Paying for School

    boushie87 replied to wishfulnurse01's topic in General Nursing

    I took out all my private school loans from citibank and yes, they depend on your credit. You are more likely to get a loan, and one with a lower interest, when you use a co-signer. Good luck

  4. Freaking out. FFP = "fresh frozen platelets" or "fresh frozen plasma"

    boushie87 replied to dlcj's topic in General Nursing

    If you read my post I am clearly stating that how people have expressed their opinions was the laughing matter, not anything to do with the OP and her actions. And as one person stated these posts are...

  5. Am I wrong for calling off? Please help!

    boushie87 replied to np2b4me's topic in General Nursing

    I am curious to see if they were able to get in one or two, or more, nurses to replace you and the charge nurse? I mean if they weren't really able to get anyone in before what would they do without...

    boushie87 replied to dlcj's topic in General Nursing

    What's your question Vespertinas?

  7. Freaking out. FFP = "fresh frozen platelets" or "fresh frozen plasma"

    boushie87 replied to dlcj's topic in General Nursing

    I guess I am confused. You did everything correctly and were basically wondering what the initals stood for? And the patient never even rcvd said med? Why are ppl yelling at you? haha This forum is so...

  8. What is that weird smell?

    boushie87 replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    Nursel56, it was on mystery diagnosis.. They described it as an extremely fishy smell. Love me some mystery diagnosis

    boushie87 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in General Nursing

    For a 4 year degree at a public institution the average person spent: $32,900 haha unfortuntely that is what one yr in tutition costs

  10. The dumbest thing I ever said to a patient.

    boushie87 replied to KalipsoRed21's topic in Nursing Humor

    hahaha This still has me giggling. Too cute. Hope the parents had a sense of humor or understood what you meant! haha

  11. Graduating in May & Getting married in September

    boushie87 replied to butt0167's topic in General Nursing

  13. Does ANYBODY enter a traditional BSN program anymore?

    boushie87 replied to RN In FL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wish I could be in an accelerated program but they do not offer one in my area. I already have a BS degree in Biotechnology and went to grad school for a yr for Genetic Counseling. I would love to...

  14. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    boushie87 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    That being said I now am married and own a house. And my loans won't be in deferrment forever. I could not work t my current job at $14.5 an hour forever. But, that's the reason I went to school as...

  15. Why do people go into nursing? Is it just the money?

    boushie87 replied to zoo*moon's topic in General Nursing

    I did not go into nursing for the money, or really for particularly wanting to be a nurse. I have always wanted to be a genetic counselor and so everything I did from 16 yrs old through undergrad...

  16. wearing makeup to work?

    boushie87 replied to meghan91's topic in General Nursing

    This is kind of a sad post to me. 90% or more of you say you wear make up because you feel you look a mess with out it. Is this really what society has taught all of you? That unnatural colored lips,...

  17. Can I do nursing?

    boushie87 replied to KaitlynLeighx3's topic in Nursing Career

    Yikes. I am surprised by many, if not all but one, of the responses saying that it would not be possible. ANYTHING is possible. I would say contact that nursing program at the school you've selected...

  18. Failed Med/Surg by 3/10 point

    boushie87 replied to Ciale's topic in General Students

    I am surprised to hear that people's med math tests are only an 80% pass rate! Ours was 90% the first semester of nursing classes and from now on (just finishing 2nd semester and 3 more to go) it's...

  19. Washing patient's hair!!!

    boushie87 replied to Blueberries's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah what was the point of this reply? Just to prove you're nasty? Would you treat people in person like this? I find it funny how people on message boards think they can say whatever they want...

  20. colostomy

    boushie87 replied to mrnewman's topic in General Nursing

    In school we have learned about bowel training. It's similar to when a person with dementia is bowl trained. You sit them on the toilet at specific times and so their body kind gets used to the...

  21. Dont wanna be a floor nurse..

    boushie87 replied to Meese.C's topic in General Nursing

    I'm pretty sure any psych nurse would probably be a little offended at that statement. But ok... As for the OP you just started! Why go into nursing if you immediately want to not do "real" nursing,...

  24. How UTIs affect older patients

    boushie87 replied to seashells2011's topic in General Nursing

    They are particularly sensitive to changes that young folks can normally handle. They are really sensitive to changes in O2 which could be the reason for change in mental status we see in most...

  25. Do you think there would be less RN students if the economy was better?

    boushie87 replied to kalevra's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps but I know that isn't the case for me. I went to school for Biotechnology and then started a graduate program for genetic counseling and after a year the program had changed, it was more...
