  1. Prejudice Against Overweight Patients: An Issue To Ponder

    Their (and our) hands are already tied, unfortunately. Another poster previously said that a Dr. shouldn't constantly harp on someone about their weight. I think they should BUT they need to be able to refer them to someone or something or some way ...
  2. Prejudice Against Overweight Patients: An Issue To Ponder

    There is "prejudice" and "bias" though. Not necessarily on a patient care level but on a level of access to general services. It is ridiculous that as health care providers that we can sit here and call overweight people "non-compliant" when many o...
  3. Prejudice Against Overweight Patients: An Issue To Ponder

    Exercising 5 days a week and changing your diet are not enough. The patient needs to be educated. If nutrition and human exercise physiology were such simple concepts to understand and execute, then obesity wouldn't be the problem that it is. If t...
  4. LPN Programs near Pittsburgh

    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 in opportunity.
  5. LPN Programs near Pittsburgh

    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 healthcare employees. I think they're getting rid of the p...
  6. UPMC Shadyside 3 East

    it appears to be family medicine
  7. Needing a place to stay in Pittsburgh

    Where will you be working / going to school. What's your max for rent?
  8. Do I take the class over again?

    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 effect your gpa, and is generally cheaper.
  9. 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 hospital at the moment but it's worth an ask. We d...
  10. How to deal with unsupportive people.

    Have you sat down and had an objective talk with the woman? Everyone is saying suck it up to its over, but you should really have a heart to heart. Ignoring her behavior is not going to make her more supportive of you. I'd try to have as much as an ...
  11. New grad looking to switch to nursing

    Are you still doing patient transport? Perhaps ask the HOSPITAL, what they would suggest.
  12. Anyone get a C in A&P?

    I did, with those grades ^ Also it doesn't just come down to GPA. Seeing more and more that CC's that give ADN/ASN come down to GPA. BSN and Hospital programs are looking for more than just whether or not you got an A in the class. They're looking...
  13. Vickie Milazzo ads and truth

    Especially since so many lawyers work on contingent basis. It's silly to expect to be paid $125-$150 an hour if the attorney doesn't even have the guarantee of pay yet. That whole website just looks like a scam.
  14. International version of Seeley's A&P 9th edition

    They don't know what your course requirements are. If you simply ask them what the difference between the texts is, they should be able to objectively provide you with an answer. If you aren't buying the book directly from them anyway, there is no i...
  15. Should I Go To Galen (Not Accredited)

    Credits not transferring and accreditation by the CCNE or NLN are two totally different things. Many RN to BSN bridge programs only require that you be an RN, not that you have an ASN/ADN. In your case however I'd seek to go to school elsewhere, as...
  16. International version of Seeley's A&P 9th edition

    don't email the seller, in my experience they typicall don't know anything. contact the publisher: [h=3]general customer service[/h][color=#564637]for general customer service information, please send requests to: general customer service the mcgraw-...
  17. The government forgives it (if its a federally subsidized loan, otherwise no) but I'm pretty sure you have to make regular on-time payments for 10 YEARS. There are a lot of other criteria as well. I'd just figure out what the loan is and try to reha...
  18. 4-week course? Can I do it? Nope...

    ***** Sidebar***** ccac, I took my condensed classes at CCAC. I have a REALLY good study book I used for the PSB, you can HAVE it.
  19. You are in good company: cephalopods ​beware.
  20. Yikes, all this 2 days into the week. As the late great George Carlin once said: I'll leave you with this: lways good for an "lol"
  21. 4-week course? Can I do it? Nope...

    Some classes you just can't learn in 4 weeks. I took nutrition in 4 weeks. 6 hours on Friday nights and 10 hours on Saturdays. We learned SO MUCH. Probably because my professor was awesome and nutrition is something you can learn that quick. You...
  22. How to deal with unsupportive people.

    Yeah you might also get struck by lightning, or hit by a car. Having a kid is hard too, maybe you should just give that up. When she starts throwing stupid hypotheticals at you give some back to her.
  23. If it is a federal student loan, you can go through the "Federal Student Loan Rehabilitation Program", to get yourself out of default and stop wage garnishing. If that's the case, look into it. This crap is happening to me right now. I co-signed a ...
  24. This is so stupid to me that you have to even have to prepare for a hassle. As if being diagnosed with bipolar disorder somehow now affects your ability to practice, especially since its likely you had bipolar disorder already ....An undiagnosed ind...
  25. Need help picking good nursing shoes!

    I second danskos. They're especially nice because you can put them in the sink and spray them off.
