    Would you give away a semester's worth of notes???

    UM Review RN replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Uhhh...the OP never said anything about homework assignments or graded essays with instructor comments or test reviews. She was talking strictly about class notes. If you were trying to insinuate that...

    UM Review RN replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Zoe, I used to rollerblade a lot, and you're making me miss being able to. Blue, that does look good. I'll have to copy that recipe for when DH decides to have some ham; he'll love it. Tweety, you're...

    GM and Happy Easter! I had a pretty good day yesterday, food-wise. Tweety, I thought about what you said about sodium and decided that we'd worry about that later. First we need to get the weight off...

    UM Review RN replied to CiCigirl's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe. It never hurts to be nice to people. You just don't want to be taken advantage of. You might share notes, for instance. Is she good at taking notes for some other class you might be weak in? I...

    GM, Tweety, I just found this fascinating article online that says that quite a lot of our dietary salt comes from..... (take a guess?) Bread! Surprised me too. Here's the link:...

    Blue, I went with him to the doc's yesterday and asked the doc about cardiac rehab for him. He's eligible, so I think that'll take a lot of the onus off me and let him decide which type of exercise to...

    Our ED faxes report and then follows up with a phone call to the Unit Sec to confirm receipt of the report. The US then is to call the nurse receiving the patient and inform her that report has...

    The most common form of SHOCK

    UM Review RN replied to MM2007's topic in General Nursing

    Personally, I'd guess "hypovolemic." Wikipedia supports it.

    I understand the thing about picking your battles, but seriously, what if you do draw this instructor for the next two semesters. You'll have papers due. They'll need to be done in APA format. What...

    Dating Your Doctor

    UM Review RN replied to lmonet82's topic in General Nursing

    UM Review RN replied to Furoffire's topic in General Nursing

    I've done that before. I don't see how that was wrong. So let me see if I've got this right: Mrs. X is demented and fights the BP cuff. Therefore, you were hitting the manual button to take her BP's....
