  5. Bad Clinical Experience Today

    amoLucia replied to j0622's topic in General Students

    You're right - I was a bit off-tracked, but I'm going to blame PP Hannahbanana's preceding post. Her first sentence was referencing Virginia Henderson's nsg theory (I humbly think so?). Am I right re...

  9. Training with Weighted Dummies

    amoLucia replied to FlameHeart's topic in Exercise and Healthy Living's Exercise

    OK - getting back to the mannequins. I don't see any useful purpose. What do you expect to happen after you reach your weight lifting training goal? No HC employee is expected to do a dead weight...

  12. service animal in a high school

    amoLucia replied to Kristen D's topic in School

    When providing notices, this would be the perfect opp'ty to lay down some educational ground rules. Service animals are NOT pets or for recreational amusement use. They need to be left alone so...

    amoLucia replied to MsNurse1997's topic in Home Health

    amoLucia replied to atlgirl19's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    amoLucia replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I just don't grasp how someone's mind can degenerate into such socially inappropriate behavior. I'd want to guess she was prob such a prim & proper gracious grandma-type in her well days. I...
