FutureSuperNurse

I didn't mean that I work more than anyone else, and of course I won't know more that those with more experience, and I'm not putting anyone down, I just mean that my title will be important to me bacause I know what effort has gone into it. Of cour...

I know that we should treat each other with respect, and yada yada yada, and I know that CNA's, LPN's, etc. are INVALUABLE, but on the other hand, the title that I will possess when I graduate (RN w/ BSN) is one that I will have EARNED. And while CNA...

I have a friend who just had an ultra sound. She is five months preg and they told her that her baby has slight nephritis. They acted like it was nothing to be concerned about. I am in nursing school and she asked me about this, but I am just am not ...

Thanks for your replys! I feel the same way........I will probably post in another couple of weeks if anything fishy comes up during her next check up. Chances are, if the doc acts the same, she'll ask me- like I know......

Thanks! I asked her about the name and she that you are correct and I told her it was not uncommon, so I think she feels better. The way the doc delivered the news was not the best way, for a first time mommy. She used a lot of big words and didn't r...

are the drug guides, etc programs that you load on to the PDA or what? where do you buy them? Thanks!

I wish some of you nurses were at the hospital I had clinicals at! I am a student and I have since changed school. But, the nurses there on the floor didn't even look at you! They assumed that b/c you were there that you were to do all beds, bath, m...

I am in the same boat. My hubby and I would have kids right now but i know niether one of us counld handle it with me still being in school. I plan to wait at least a year after graduating to have kids, though i really don't want to, it's best for ...

I know a litle about Adkins, I know a little about what ketosis is, but why is it hard on your kidneys?.............I personally don't have the will power for it, My grandma tried it and had several spell of dizziness with in the first couple of days...

My vote will be based on more than just Over Time issues.....there is more to life and our government than just OT and yourself.

As far as the book goes, I haven't looked into it but I've never seen one that offers what you've described.. My regular drug book tells the contraindications for patients with certain diagnose, as do most drug books......the PE hand book I like is t...

I'm a student, so..............what is HCA exactly?

Makes me think about my nursing instructor who is extremly compassonate, she had the same kind of incident and all the nurses were hiding b/c they didn;t want the assignment.....she marched right in there and bathed him and gave him a massage...........

yup, they told her to wait six months.........and she can't see the Endo doc b/ he is booked til January.........i will tell her to get another opinion, but she is so frustrated with her current doctors office and the staff there, that i think she ha...

My grandma was having some urinary problems a couple of months ago, when they found she had glucose in her urine. They suspected diabetes, So they told her to check her sugar 3x daily and come back in six months, they also gave her a menu to go from...

so, I have no idea about circs........why the controversy? I thought it was a good thing? is it strictly cosmetic? do people not like it b/c it os painful? thanks for explaining!

I am a student as well and I agree that you should definately not let how others feel scare you. I am married and work almost forty hours a week and go to school, etc, I have fine relationships with my hubby, other family, work, etc, I mean, it is h...

I have been saying the same thing......also look at the Update:Fight for RN's Right to OT thread..........I'm just gonna stop reading these political threads, they just make me frustrated......

There are other factors than just salary, such as having two or more people under your supervision, making a certain amount per year, the requirements are at the DOL website

I just went to dol.gov, then to the Fair Overtime Pay Rules...........Firstly, the people I know in management/executive positions they are paid salary & do not get over time, hence their LARGE salary to compensate for no OT.......with this law i...

Baptist College of Health Sciences****Memphis, TN

I don't understand some of these comments...........I am still a student, but if that's what the patient needs, then you just gotta do, it's part of caring for your patient, you don't need the patient's health going down hill just b/c you think its g...

me too, i don't see why taking one before the other would matter..............

i didn't find one more difficult than the other, just a whole lot of memorization, of course i had an excellent teacher! i think it was easier for me because i absolutley loved the course. plus the teacher had all her notes for sale in our bookstore,...

hey, do not worry about the math! i am almost retarded when i comes to math, but i do just fine and my dosages and calculations and such, with a lot of studying! it is difficult, but i can be done! i find that talking to others about the difficulti...
