  1. Washing those scrubs?

    2BRN123 replied to johnny depp23's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    2BRN123 replied to callie104's topic in General Students

    Has this friend of yours been on a big party weekend to like LA or vegas recently? In Vegas there's a thing called the "Hangover Heaven Truck" that will hook you up to a saline IV to kill your...

    2BRN123 replied to horrorxgirl's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  5. The "one thing"

    2BRN123 replied to DisneyNurseGal's topic in General Students

    Oof, good topic. C-SECTION. Seriously freaks me out. The epidural... The blood (which typically doesn't bother me) combined with the sight of muscle and fat tissue, the gouging...coterizing......

  6. Anatomy Flashcards: YES OR NO?

    2BRN123 replied to peachshan's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Netter makes excellent flash cards. However useful, they weren't as useful for me in A&P as they were for my friends in PT or Chiropractic school. The ones I used turned out to have ENTIRELY TOO...

    2BRN123 replied to chensonrn's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Welcome to the area! How much time have you spent in Pittsburgh? Canonsburg is about 35 minutes outside of the city so theres "less" to do that in the city, but its still not too far away, all...

    2BRN123 replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    2BRN123 replied to tsdixon427's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    holy crap you have to have an ipod touch ????? Sounds stupid, I hope we don't need one for Shadyside. I'd go scour "The Exchange" My boyfriend just got one there for like 70 bucks. **edit** also I...

  14. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    2BRN123 replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And what about all the people that dump thousands and thousands of dollars into health insurance whose payment STILL isn't guaranteed. Not to say I disagree here because I do, but its not hard to see...

  15. Is it me? What happened to nursing?

    2BRN123 replied to Burlshoe114's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ok first things first, I'm not in any way going to say I disagree with anything that anyone above me has said. Because I do 100%, but.... With the soaring, intentionally inflated costs of...

    2BRN123 replied to pixiestudent2's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

  18. What are your thoughts on patients who request no male nurses taking care of them?

    2BRN123 replied to Mike A. Fungin RN's topic in Men in Nursing

    Well, this is to be expected I guess. With all of our long held, awkward, puritanical beliefs about our bodies. I know many a woman that wont talk about reproductive or genital issues with their...

  20. LPN Programs near Pittsburgh

    2BRN123 replied to jlippold's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    St Margarets has a spring program too, Although I think theirs starts in march or something. Much better to go for an RN for only 4 more months of school. One semester of work, dramatic difference...

  21. LPN Programs near Pittsburgh

    2BRN123 replied to jlippold's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    At this point why not just try to go for RN. The RN market is already becoming difficult for Diploma RN's and ADN's so why go for an even lower credential in an area so heavily saturated in...

  24. Do I take the class over again?

    2BRN123 replied to Brookelin's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm retaking A&P even though I got an A. Simply because I want to know more (and am highly interested in PT and Ortho). Perhaps AUDITING the course is a better option. Audit typically wont...

  25. Against our Policy to give Professional Reference??

    2BRN123 replied to jodyangel's topic in General Nursing

    If they don't give references unilaterally for whatever reason, they should have no problem putting that statement in writing on some letterhead for you. I know you're in a tough situation with this...
