  1. addicted patients

    hospitalstaph replied to nurscee's topic in General Nursing

    Isn't abdominal pain a s/e of withdrawl?? I think that it is important to note that many (if not all) of these patients are in a dependancy situation by no fault of their own.

  2. What to see what your Professor will be like?

    hospitalstaph replied to illidan01's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That site is great! I checked for my Micro instructor and what do ya know, someone else thought he was a scatterbrain too!!?

  3. A&p 1 Only?

    hospitalstaph replied to letthejourneybegin41's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Not every program divides A&P into two separate classes. The school I originally applied to has just one A&P class. The school I transfered to has A&P 1 and 2 but my one A&P from the...

  4. ER - should I go for my paramedic or BSN

    hospitalstaph replied to SeriphumRN2b's topic in Emergency

    Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought that a medic that was also an RN is what they are looking for for flight nurses? This person would have pre-hospital and in-hospital skills. Sounds perfect to me:)

  5. just need help

    hospitalstaph replied to lmh47's topic in General Nursing

    I don't study well with a group either. However, I do study very well by trying to teach some of what I have learned to a non-medical person (my favorites were my husband and 8 year old). I have...

  6. ? about class times

    hospitalstaph replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    I think that this varies from school to school, so check with the schools that you are interested in. Mine is one day a week of lecture from 8am-5:30pm and then 2 clinical days from 6:30am-2:45pm. I...

  7. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

    hospitalstaph replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I don't think that I said that a C student would not make a good nurse. I hope that I was clear that I think GPA should be considered. I too did not find prereqs to be too difficult, but they...

  8. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

    hospitalstaph replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Oh please don't misunderstand what I am saying. One of the CC in our area does not consider GPA (as long as it is 2.5 or above), does not consider your NET test score(only that you passed), and...

  9. Why do I keep hearing stuff about waiting lists?

    hospitalstaph replied to justagirl992's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am sure that my opinion will not be a popular one, but I don't agree with waiting lists! :chair: I think that you should get in because you are the most qualified, not because you were the most...

  10. Blue Tooth Stethscopes

    hospitalstaph replied to Emergency RN's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I am a student, but I do have Bluetooth on my PDA and like it. I am wondering how that would work though with a steth? Since bluetooth is not a new technology it may not even be very...

  11. Wearing scrubs home??

    hospitalstaph replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    Seriously, you should try it:) My DH knows it has been a bad day when he comes home and I am in full uniform on the couch. I think that I may be the only nursing student that has not even started...

  12. Putting RN on license plate???

    hospitalstaph replied to Kalico's topic in General Nursing

    perhaps a socipath with a liking for rn's might target you, but i drive a minivan (which are most often driven by women) so i guess i make a nice target too. i don't see myself putting rn on my...

  13. What are your program requirements?

    hospitalstaph replied to LadyEJ BSN, RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    How do they determine a 2.75 GPA without prereqs? Is this LPN or RN? I don't think that the LPN programs near me have any prereqs, but the RN programs do. Good luck to you:)

  14. Wearing scrubs home??

    hospitalstaph replied to Rn2bKatie's topic in General Nursing

    Well, I guess my fun days of putting on my scrubs, lab coat, steth, and Rockers and watching TV are almost over:( I start clinicals in one week. I gotta tell ya, I feel so important watching Grey's...

  15. claiming to be what she isn't

    hospitalstaph replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I talked to a nurse today about scrubs. I mentioned that I don't like fun scrubs on an adult floor (sorry just my own preference). She said that she had read a study that showed that when nurses...

  16. claiming to be what she isn't

    hospitalstaph replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    Yikes! Could we atleast have blue with a patch saying RN? Ya know, more of a slimming

  17. Applied to nursing school with a W or F grade.

    hospitalstaph replied to gwami's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it also depends on when this happend. I have WAY too many W's on my transcript and 3 F's, but they are all from 10 years ago. SInce coming back to school (2 years ago) I have been an A-B...

  18. Please be nice to medical students

    hospitalstaph replied to cantor2537's topic in General Nursing

    Reminds me of Micro students that are convinced that they have been infected by a helmith everytime they get a stomach ache:lol2:

  19. GI terms?

    hospitalstaph posted a topic in Gastroenterology

    Hi, Quick question. A scope through the ileum (ileostomy actually) is a ileoscopy? And a rectal scope (no sigmoid) is a protoscopy? Are my terms correct? Thanks

  20. GI terms?

    hospitalstaph replied to hospitalstaph's topic in Gastroenterology

    Thanks for responding:) DH is having his ileostomy scoped next month to check for Crohn's inflammation and I just like to make sure I have the correct terms. Thanks again!

  21. Online A&P I

    hospitalstaph replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I took Nutrition and Am Hist online and both were open book. I also took Human Lifespan but the test questions were more of an essay format so the book was not much use. My school and none of the...

  22. Online A&P I

    hospitalstaph replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Maybe your school does have a problem with instructors that "dumb things down". I don't understand the idea that because something is online, it is more challenging? I have taken quite a few online...

  23. Online A&P I

    hospitalstaph replied to PreNurseKirk's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I would just be sure that the online will transfer to the programs in your area. (not just the school that you are interested in, things change) One of the ADN programs in our area accepts cell bio...

  24. claiming to be what she isn't

    hospitalstaph replied to traumamomtx's topic in General Nursing

    I met a girl the other day at my school (she is not in the nursing program). She starts telling me about how she was 3 weeks from graduating with her BSN and then her mom died so she didn't finish....

  25. Are breastpumps available for use for nurses?

    hospitalstaph replied to ladybugsea's topic in Ob/Gyn

    The FDA does not regulate the resale of these pumps, but they do consider them a single user medical device. Below is an article by Nancy Mohrbacher about this: Nancy Mohrbacher, IBCLC...
