    Suggested new NANDA diagnosis

    CountryMomma replied to JoseQuinones's topic in General Students

    I'd be an expert at this one. Wouldn't even need the book for it. The AEB would be just looking into a

    Conflict with a coworker

    CountryMomma replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    By taking a very deep breath and shaking your head at the sheer balls it took to say that aloud in public. And the ignorance one would have to possess to be proud of a statement like

    Conflict with a coworker

    CountryMomma replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    "Go to THEIR country and tell me if they expect YOU to speak THEIR language!! There is not a single country in the world that does not expect you to speak their language but yet Americans get bashed...

    Conflict with a coworker

    CountryMomma replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    So, do you speak Lakota, Cherokee, Shawnee, or whichever Native American region you happen to live in now? I'm curious, as this is 1) Not just your country and 2) Honestly, everyone except for the...

    Conflict with a coworker

    CountryMomma replied to phlebo2rn's topic in General Students

    Why do you assume they are saying bad things about you? Perhaps they were saying very nice things about your hair or clothes, but didn't want to embarrass you or were ashamed that it made them look...

    What is your grading scale?

    CountryMomma replied to smoup's topic in General Students

    For lecture, it is the following: 92.0 - 100.00 = A 84.0 - 91.99 = B 76.0 - 83.99 = C 68.0 - 75.99 = D Below 68 = F And for clinical: 94.0 - 100.00 = A 88.0 - 93.99 =...

    Nursing school effect on life?

    CountryMomma replied to Moonspellpecado's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I find it amusing that everyone assumes we all are enrolled or were enrolled in the same style program. Sure, it might be a bit easier to still be a social butterfly if you are taking a 2yr RN vs a...

    Feeling Alone in Class

    CountryMomma posted a topic in General Students

    I apologize in advance if this sounds like I am bragging about my grades. I definitely don't plan on it. I'm in a small class doing the 1-yr ADN through a State College. We primarily have lecture...

    Feeling Alone in Class

    CountryMomma replied to CountryMomma's topic in General Students

    Thanks to all who gave me encouragement and assured me I wasn't the only one setting my sights a little higher than the tired C's make degrees stuff. Its nice to hear I'm not alone after all! I've...

    Stethoscope/BPcuff?

    CountryMomma replied to FrogRN15's topic in General Students

    I second the Littman Classic II SE - paid 80$ for mine on sale. I used a friend's Lightweight and just couldn't get with it. It felt cheap and sounded muffled. The stethys they sold at my campus...

    tucking scrub pants in shoes

    CountryMomma replied to dudemursebrah2b's topic in General Students

    You read the things they deleted? Like the picture that insinuated that the OP would rather worry about his fashion than save his client? And that wasn't worth moderating? The OP has clearly show...

    tucking scrub pants in shoes

    CountryMomma replied to dudemursebrah2b's topic in General Students

    I'd like to point out that the way a person talks here on the forums may be their relaxed self, with less emphasis on "proper" grammar and appearance. This isn't a job interview, and you have no...

    pls help me solve this... thank you!

    CountryMomma replied to exsassy's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Actually we had a couple of questions like this in my Medical-Surgical class quizzes and exams. It wasn't laziness on my instructors' parts (at least I don't think so...) as the answer they were...

    Hi Esme, The last two links don't seem to lead anywhere...it just brings me to the latest articles page. I really appreciate this though, I love the report sheet (5

    Sexual Orientation Question

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

    You ask, because they may need a safe place to explore their fears, their questions, and their feelings. We are the safe, neutral place they can go to. Teens know about confidentiality and protection....

    Sexual Orientation Question

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

    As a bisexual student, I am going to add both what they just taught me in class, with my experience on the other end of the desk. Yes, it still matters, and still needs to be asked. First and foremost...

    Critical Thinking

    Ah, I always forget that the goal is to teach to the test first, then alter the info to real world

    Critical Thinking

    CountryMomma replied to Manofstone's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I don't think anyone is disagreeing that Client A is the priority. Any basic nursing student would apply Maslows. I think the focus was on delegation and priority setting. I don't understand why...

    Critical Thinking

    CountryMomma replied to Manofstone's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I would have chose your same answer, except, depending on the acuity of client D, I might have Nurse B obtain those, *then* focus on the other two clients, as I attend and assess Client A. Also, the...

    Working and nursing school?

    CountryMomma replied to niikkayx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd like to point out that just because a person doesn't work during nursing school doesn't mean they have loads of free time, or no worries, or are sitting in the lap of luxury. I have a family,...

    Working and nursing school?

    CountryMomma replied to niikkayx's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I believe I am the only person in our program that doesn't work while attending school. (That's on my husband's orders, btw. He feels it is the best investment of his money.) Of the nine of us that...

    Do you take your work wherever you go?

    CountryMomma replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    I'm not. Wasn't as a CNA either. Wash hands, wash the produce, wash clothes, but hey, dirt happens. My family generally isn't ill often. And for those people wearing their scrubs out in public...well,...

    How has "nursing" helped you at home?

    CountryMomma replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    My husband will say he suffers the most under my "nursing", because I will brook no whining when he comes down with a cold, will frog-march him into the Dr when he's doing something obviously...

    Speaking About Nurses Who Moonlight As Dancers

    CountryMomma replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    There is a HUGE difference: Those who "ho" in private, are just that, private. As in, the employer will not know. It will not necessarily reflect upon the employer. A very public...

    Speaking About Nurses Who Moonlight As Dancers

    CountryMomma replied to DoGoodThenGo's topic in Nursing News

    Wow. Step back and breathe, yeah? I didn't see anyone judging her. I saw many people, myself included, who had doubts as to this woman's ability to achieve her grand goals with her current employment...
