  1. What offends you (nursing related)?

    twss2323 replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    This may be US based but there are still PLENTY of Candians and people from other countries here. How hard was it for you to find allnurses? Probably pretty stinking easy. It's that easy for everyone...

  2. What offends you (nursing related)?

    twss2323 replied to milesims's topic in General Nursing

    All my better judgement says to look the other way, but I'm going to say something.. You convey yourself in a very cocky and immature way. The "you do you" and little comments like that have me...

  3. Nurses smoking weed?

    twss2323 replied to bunnynurse's topic in General Nursing

    This just feels like a giant can of worms waiting to explode. Personally, I agree with the others. It's not worth risking my job or license. However, I don't have a problem with it, I don't see it as...

  4. T-shirt Sayings

    twss2323 replied to kidzcare's topic in School

  5. NAU Nursing Fall 2016

    twss2323 replied to sarah.bellum's topic in School, College Programs

    I work in a hospital, the majority of my class ended up with hospital

  6. NAU Nursing Fall 2016

    twss2323 replied to sarah.bellum's topic in School, College Programs

    I can only speak for the Tucson program, but I loved it. It's pretty small so it's a nice little community, which is my favorite part of it. The instructors are great and supportive and I feel like...

  7. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    twss2323 replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Interesting. I just graduated, they aren't teaching that anymore

  8. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    twss2323 replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    Never heard the pillow case thing... What's the rationale behind

  9. NAU Nursing Fall 2016

    twss2323 replied to sarah.bellum's topic in School, College Programs

    Just for those asking about number accepted. I graduated from the Tucson program in December. Flagstaff accepts 30, Tucson takes 20, and Yuma takes 10. I believe the AIP program is also 10 but not...

  10. Patty Duke's death bringing sepsis into the news

    twss2323 replied to smf0903's topic in General Nursing

    This is really interesting and I think diligence in order to catch sepsis early before it progresses in to septic shock is of utmost importance. However, I have really mixed feelings about an article...

  11. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    twss2323 replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    This thread has gotten pretty off topic, but I'm gonna throw my contribution in here. 45 page care plans. Nuff

  12. What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

    twss2323 replied to TheMiss's topic in General Nursing

    I can't 😳. I was taught... Then never used the skill. So here I am.

  13. PaO2 of 286... is that even possible?

    twss2323 replied to KDalmostRN's topic in General Students

    Yes it is possible. There's a formula and I wish I could explain it better without looking it up... But long story short, PaO2 should be about 5× more than Fi02 in a healthy person. Room air is...

  14. Nitrous Oxide

    twss2323 replied to OBwonKnewbie's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Have you done any research? When I was in school I listened to an EBP presentation about it, it's really

  15. The Cool Kids

    twss2323 posted a topic in School

    I've been on AN for a while, I signed up before I got in to nursing school. I read several times a week, but I'm more of a lurker, I rarely post. I lurk on the School Nurse forum all the time,...

  16. The Puberty Talk

    twss2323 replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    I agree. It's sad how resistant our culture is to sex ed. I watched a documentary once, I believe it was called "Sex in the USA" where they compared sex ed in the US to Switzerland (I believe). I also...

  17. The Puberty Talk

    twss2323 replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    Well if they're using top shelf that really is a waste, it's not like you're tasting it 😳 But so many things wrong with it. I first heard about tampons and vodka (didn't know it had a formal...

  18. The Puberty Talk

    twss2323 replied to schoolnurse2015's topic in School

    I would assume "good" vodka isn't being used. I'm envisioning "still taste the charcoal, smells like rubbing alcohol, $7 a handle, frat party" vodka.

  19. The Cool Kids

    twss2323 replied to twss2323's topic in School

    I was at work all day and couldn't get on here, but this thread just exemplifies my point, it only took like 3 posts before a wedgie pic and hilarious tangent came about haha. And my hospital doesn't...

  20. Do you NEED a study group to get through nursing school?

    twss2323 replied to Student2017555's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I found it helpful to meet with a study buddy once or twice coming up to an exam and study the rest on my own. Groups tended to be less productive--more chances to go off topic and mess around, just...

  21. VetPro for a new grad??

    twss2323 replied to hilbub's topic in Government, Military

    I think every VA might be different depending on the Vetpro rep. At my VA, it was done via email. Have you tried asking the Vetpro rep these questions? The one I worked with was very helpful-- she...

  22. Elitism in nursing

    twss2323 replied to yakimandu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well that was a little bit of culture....

    twss2323 replied to yakimandu's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Don't feed the trolls people.

  25. Passed NCLEX 2/11, Kaplan and Uworld

    twss2323 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Hey all, I passed my NCLEX on the first try with 75 questions! I rarely post on AN but I've been a big time lurker all through since before nursing school. AN has helped me so much and is a big...
