About leslieanne

Hi, my name is Leslie, I'm 29 yrs old and a nursing student. I'm on my 2nd semester in a 3.5 yr bachelors program. I am american, but live in Denmark and am studying here in Dk. I'm very curious about nursing in the US. I have tons of questions.

  1. Your opinion on nurses being role models of good health

    Hi, We've talked about this in class as well. How can I as a nurse, advise a patient to stop smoking when I've just come back from break and smell of cigarette smoke? How can I as an overweight nurse advise a newly diagnosed and overweight diabetes p...
  2. ER RNs vs. Paramedics

    Cotjockey, I've edited out the PMs in my post, I believe that I saw the abbreviation used in another thread, and assumed that it was ok. Besides, I was feeling lazy about typing that big long word!! :uhoh21: I'm afraid that I worded my p...
  3. Looking for a few answers.

    Hi Milenko, I'm a student nurse as well, and probably would not be able to answer your questions anyway, but I really can't figure out what you are asking about in the first part of your post. You've got a bunch of statements there and no quest...
  4. ER RNs vs. Paramedics

    Hey ya'll I need your help/input. My obnoxious little brother is going to school to be a paramedic and was telling me that paramedics can do more than RNs and that they might as well staff ERs with Paramedics!!! :angryfire :angryfire Now I am sure t...
  5. How u feel when u start training with ppl covered with blood

    Nursing Eyes, You saw these things on your first day? I can't imagine. You are still a student? Most western nurses do not have to see these things, emergency room nurses and paramedics would be the closest to it. My brother is a paramedic and I kno...
  6. What's the weirdest baby name?

    I knew of a girl with an interesting name back in highschool. The story went that after a traumatic pregnancy/delivery a baby girl was born. Her mother was inspired to name her daughter Miracle. Nice hunh? It so happens that the last name was Finger...

  8. my brain is about to explode!

    I didn't know that they did oral exams in the states. we have them regularly in Dk. I prefer them because they give you a chance to let them see how much you know, but of course, they open alot of doors to other topics, so you have to be careful not ...
  9. Nervous about doing "dirty" work

    I can handle sputum from a trach, just remember to stay out of firing range when cleaning the cannula. Vomit, urine, personal hygiejne, halitosis can get to me a bit. What I really dreaded were MANUAL DISIMPACTIONS !!!!! yuck! I avoided them for the...

  11. Did anyone try to talk you out of being a nurse?

    Although I think the tone of doggiedaddy's posts are unnecessarily harsh, I have to agree with his view on the choice of LPN rather than RN. I am a lowly nursing student myself, so don't get me wrong. I just think that considering the investment of t...

    I have read somewhere that 40-50% of women with PCOS are not overweight.
  13. considering clomid in the future

    I too would be interested in hearing about this. I am also dx with PCOS. I'm wondering if ayone knows anything about dealing with symptoms of PCOS. I'll only to it admit here as we are anonymous, I've been experiences abnormal hair growth (whiskers u...
  14. I need advice with life-please help

    I agree with the others. Take advantage of the counseling and even if he stops, keep going with your kids. Your 17 year old is at a point in his life where he is going to have to be responsible for his actions. Lots of us come from difficult backgrou...
  15. Questions to all the nursing students out there

    Ca. 25hrs Read everything once or twice and take LOTS of notes of both texts and lectures. I switch subjects, take breaks, fx. I'll say to myself, clean the kitchen for the next 30 min and then study on. This works cause I HATE housework. Primarily v...
