  2. Hello my name is.......and I am OBESE

    SweetOldWorld replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    I know it is possible to lose weight and keep it off, because I have done it. I lost 80 pounds over the course of a year, and I have kept it off for 6 years now. I joined Weight Watchers, and was...

  6. Should RN's home address be posted on the BRN website?

    SweetOldWorld replied to AnnemRN's topic in California Nursing

    Do you have more information? I tried searching the CA legislature site at http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/index.html and found SB11 (Negrete McCloud) but that bill is inactive and says nothing about...

    SweetOldWorld replied to kcochrane's topic in General Nursing

    It has something to do with ethics. And peer review. Things like that. "Correct" is kind of important when it comes to

  9. Air in IV lines/syringes

    SweetOldWorld replied to kcochrane's topic in General Nursing

    I see. Do you have links to the published studies for those? And the names of all those humans killed in the name of

  10. Air in IV lines/syringes

    SweetOldWorld replied to kcochrane's topic in General Nursing

    Think for a moment about what you have posted here. I am horrified that a professional nurse could casually post secondhand comments about Nazi "research" as if it had any legitimate meaning in...

  11. Why do I get yelled at for doing the correct thing??

    SweetOldWorld replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Was she really yelling at you? Yes, you should be thorough. Yes, you should look things up when you are uncertain. But the reality is, you also need to get faster. Those two things are not mutually...

    SweetOldWorld replied to sassyrn333's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's something like going around in circles chasing your tail. Or your coworker's tail. While telling

  16. Make license inactive?

    SweetOldWorld replied to jlford1121's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you would have to retake the NCLEX if you maintain an active license elsewhere. I was originally licensed in another state, and didn't have to take the NCLEX when I moved to CA. I just...

  17. Promised a raise and then it was revoked...

    SweetOldWorld replied to TheCommuter's topic in General Students

    Congrats! May the next 8 weeks fly by for you! What will you do next? I just finished an RN to BSN program, and am still waiting for my diploma in the mail. I feel a little at loose ends. Not sure...

    SweetOldWorld replied to thanrye8710's topic in General Nursing

    Find something at the gym you enjoy doing and that you can realistically keep doing for the rest of your life. Start out slowly. Keep at it and don't get discouraged when you hit a plateau, because if...

  23. My multiple answer question rant.

    SweetOldWorld replied to Fermin Hernandez's topic in General Students

    You have a very interesting point. A lot of research has gone into computer adaptive tests, but I don't know how that translates into paper tests. The two are very

  24. We Can't Use Tap Water for G-tube Meds? Only Sterile Water?

    SweetOldWorld replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with you, Sue. But some of the replies were dismissive. Sometimes when I'm at work, it's as if I really don't have time to think. There are too many tasks and too little time. But if the...

  25. We Can't Use Tap Water for G-tube Meds? Only Sterile Water?

    SweetOldWorld replied to Plagueis's topic in General Nursing

    Having recently taken chemistry, I can understand the rationale for not using tap water to mix meds in, and not crushing different meds together. Remember precipitation reactions that occur when...
