    Sexual Orientation Question

    I have been thinking about this lately...and I am being serious when I ask this; but, with all the advancements in knowing about risk factors for various diseases (especially STIs), what does sexual...

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Nurses Recovery

    So, I am a little behind on my picture/countdown updating; but, I thought I would post, anyway. I have been in HPMP for 8 months. I have a year

    wish_me_luck replied to Momma79's topic in Nurses Recovery

    OP, I agree with the people who say do not make decisions right now. Personally, after 8 days of having my license, I thought about sending it back because I thought of 5 years without being able to...

    Want opinions from the nurses who have a mental health condition

    wish_me_luck posted a topic in General Nursing

    I thought I would share (and get opinions on) another thought that was on my mind. This is something that I think about on and off. But, from a personal perspective, nurses with a mental health...

    Want opinions from the nurses who have a mental health condition

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks, Tait. I am probably a strange duck and the only one who thinks about that stuff. But, I guess having a mental illness, even though I am a nurse and have been taught this in my psych classes to...

    What's the lowest teas score anyone's gotten accepted into Miami Dade Medical Campus?

    wish_me_luck replied to Pao8200's topic in School, College Programs

    I am not a fan of standardized tests. I do not think they tell anything. I ended up with a 3.4 GPA at the end of my college career (after my nursing classes that I rocked). Before nursing, I had like...

    True. I appreciate you jumping in on this. It would probably be obvious if they abstained from answering unless they were questioning or unsure themselves. Other opinions, please. I want a...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Yeah, you have to have consent to do that, logan. I am mainly just wondering peoples' thoughts on whether asking the question about "do you sleep with men, women, or both?" is relevant still, given...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    As far as condoms, I was always taught that it was not only to prevent pregnancy, but also STIs. BC pills have other uses, not only to prevent pregnancy. They can get a period on a predictable...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Hidden, I am asking what everyone's (who reads this) opinion is on the whole question of "do you sleep with men, women, or both?". Is it even relevant? If so, why do you think that? My opinion is that...

    Sexual Orientation Question

    wish_me_luck replied to wish_me_luck's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Grn, I mean mainly as it relates to your sex (biological), not gender--you wouldn't be discussing prostate issues with women, or cervical cancer or pregnancy with men. Birth issues are different. I...

    Nursing School Patient Loads

    wish_me_luck replied to Tait's topic in General Nursing

    When I was in nursing school (less than a year ago), we had one patient. The reason we didn't have more is because we needed a nurse (usually supposed to be the instructor) with us--There were five of...
