    Update: We had a conference with the 3. Probed things like: 1) Are you working nights or too many hours and are you approaching your school work like a full time job? 2) How exactly do you study?...

  4. why do teachers turn a blind eye to cheating??

    jmqphd replied to catz123's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't quitting 'cuz others cheat like saying you're going to poke your eyes out because you don't like what you see... or something. So, I teach Med-Surg. We found out our students have the test...

  6. S. 4040 - Importance of this Legislation

    jmqphd replied to sweetsugar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, and finally, S. 4040 is the "Create Incentive to Send Research Overseas Act". What makes you think Pharmaceutical Companies can only work out of the United

  7. S. 4040 - Importance of this Legislation

    jmqphd replied to sweetsugar's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Whoa there missy... You're simply wrong about how drugs are developed and what goes on in Universities. Science Departments (Cell-Molecular Biology, Pharmacology, Physiology, Molecular Genetics,...

  8. Single guy - What kind of life can I expect as a Navy Nurse?

    jmqphd replied to NewNavyRN's topic in Government, Military

    Wow. I got out of the Navy many, many years ago. Here is some very dated material. I'm sure active duty types could correct me. Back in the day there was very little if any "on base housing"...

  9. The history of your hospital

    jmqphd replied to iNurseUK's topic in General Nursing

    We are in NV and nothing is more than a hundred and a half year old. First settlements were in the 1850's. Our big modern hospital was begun in 1862 as a "pest house" after a small pox epidemic....

  10. Overweight Students

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Good advice. I'm glad your students succeeded because (though early in our semester) mine seem bright and

  11. question about flow rates

    jmqphd replied to Kimberly80's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What's the ml/hour? 1200 divided by 8 = 150 ml/hour. How many hours should it have taken to get 500 ml infused? 500 ml divided by 150 = 3.33 hours So, without the precision of a pump, you're just...

  12. Help on NP Route... Am I Getting This Right?

    jmqphd replied to Loque's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Do you already have a bachelor's degree? I have heard of generic to MSN programs. (You'd have to look around. I know University of San Francisco... the private Jesuit school, not the state run...

  14. How do you induce passing gas post-op?

    jmqphd replied to bjaeram's topic in General Nursing

    For the normal patient who is sort of distended: Have them lie on one side with their knee pulled up (as if you're going to give them an enema.) Have them lie there for plus or minus 10 minutes....

  15. What paraphernalias a nurse must always have?

    jmqphd replied to NurseMich.Elle's topic in General Nursing

    Varies by work setting. In most acute care, a good stethoscope is important. I have arthritis in my hands and for all those little things you have to grasp-pinch-twist-pull... I need hemostats in my...

  16. Discovering how harmfull most prescribed chemicles are how do you live with yourself?

    jmqphd replied to steveogurule's topic in General Nursing

    Honey, listen... you flamed just about every nurse on this board. We pretty much all give medications, and TAKE medications. Without my ARB, my BP goes up to (personal indoor record) 205/120. What...

  17. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer biases in Obstetric Nursing curricula

    jmqphd replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I don't see any conflict at all in an authentic, orthodox Christian giving the best possible nursing care to LGBT patients. If we shunned patients whose behavior was contrary to God's standards... we...

  18. is your neuro floor also a pysch floor?

    jmqphd replied to Lola77's topic in Neurological

    I think there is a real problem with neuro being the "dump" unit for all the patients that don't "fit" elsewhere. (i.e., patients no one else wants.) Face it, the Central Nervous System is something...

  19. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer biases in Obstetric Nursing curricula

    jmqphd replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I reread Janey's quote and am not interpreting it quite like you do. I would appreciate her clearing up my misunderstanding. Several responders have alluded to religion as an obstacle to...

  20. Connections to a NONTRADITIONAL nursing job?

    jmqphd replied to monique1688's topic in General Nursing

    A way to break in to this would be to get some solid Med-Surg experience under your belt and then start working for a Travelers outfit. You could then literally go anywhere in the US and enjoy the...

  21. Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer biases in Obstetric Nursing curricula

    jmqphd replied to chiandre's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I agree that this needs to be addressed and encourage you in your research. I have to say, though, that I don't agree that it is always a matter of education. A nurse's religion may make it impossible...

  22. Which Pathophysioloy book would you want

    jmqphd replied to P-medic2RN's topic in General Nursing

    Graduate or undergraduate? For NP or other MSN students, I absolutely believe the best is Pathophysiology-Biological and Behavioral Perspectives by Copstead and

  23. Delimma!

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

  24. A Short History of Anti-pathophysiologicalism

    jmqphd replied to jmqphd's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    The "bigs" are still talking about de-emphasizing pathophys in all course objectives. Even in weekly lecture objectives. The use of the word will be expunged and in its place they will substitute...

  25. Class "personality"

    jmqphd posted a topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty
