    NOC nurses need sleep too!!!

    Irish_Mist replied to NurseQT's topic in General Nursing

    Good for you! Hopefully that will get the point across to your either inconsiderate or oblivious family and friends. Hopefully, its the latter. Glad you got the rest you needed!

    False Facebook Health Messages

    Irish_Mist replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    That's part of the claim. I find it very unbelievable and disgusting

    False Facebook Health Messages

    Irish_Mist replied to blondy2061h's topic in General Nursing

    I saw something circulating facebook a few months ago called "oil pulling". The claim is that if you swish coconut oil around your mouth for 20 minutes every day, ailments such as migraines, diabetes...

    Which is harder: A&P 1 or A&P 2?

    Irish_Mist replied to giraffe4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It really depends on who you ask. I took A&P1 and 2 with the same instructor. What made part 2 easier in a sense was knowing what to expect regarding grades, labs, instructor's teaching style,...

    Question about A&P and nursing school future

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I've completed A&P1 and A&P2. I got the grades I wanted and I worked my tail off for them. My question: If you had to work extremely hard to get a good grade in A&P 1 & 2, does that...

    College Algebra and Statistics

    Irish_Mist replied to futureRN_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am not wonderful at math either but statistics was a total breeze for me. Check out ratemyprofessor.com to ensure you get a good professor and you should be just

    Question about A&P and nursing school future

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks for the feedback, lakmom12. I just got to thinking.... If I had to work THIS hard for my grades in A&P, maybe nursing school would prove to be too much. I appreciate the encouragment and...

    Question about A&P and nursing school future

    Irish_Mist replied to Irish_Mist's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, of course. I gathered that. My question is: Does one having to work hard to earn a good grade in A&P mean that they're going to have a difficult time in nursing

    CNA 'tudes

    Irish_Mist replied to NoScrubs's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have that same question too. It sounds to me like you have two women that don't like where they are in life and are bitter about it. Therefore, they act "superior" as if they are protecting their...

    How do we educate the public on ways to afford medications?

    Irish_Mist replied to Mrs Helleck's topic in Patient Medications

    Costco has some really good prices on medications especially on generics. My levothyroxine costs me $7 there as opposed to $30 at Walgreens. It is important to shop around to ensure you get the best...

    AIDS during the 80s

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    We are studying lymphatics and immunity in my anatomy and physiology 2. For extra credit, we watched a movie called "And the Band Played On". It was about the AIDS epidemic and the doctors from the...

    AIDS during the 80s

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

    I'm honestly a bit shocked that an educated medical professional such as your colleague was worried about caring for her patient with HIV. A nurse should definitely know better than that! I'm glad...

    AIDS during the 80s

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

    I nearly passed out when I read this. After I re-read it, I regained my senses. If this were to happen today, this potential legislation would be challenged in federal court. People have the right to...

    Patient Entitlement

    Irish_Mist replied to Joe V's topic in Nursing Humor

    It absolutely disgusts me how selfish people can be. I hope that woman was ashamed of herself after that nurse said something to

    AIDS during the 80s

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

    You're right. Even though I was born in 1988, I can totally get the not knowing part. We know a lot more about AIDS than what was known then so it can be easy to forget. But some of these posters are...

    AIDS during the 80s

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

    (((Hugs))) I think it is an important part of history culturally and medically speaking which is why I brought it up. You really should watch the movie "And The Band Played On". If you enjoyed this...

    AIDS during the 80s

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

    Elkpark, I am truly thankful you were working at that hospital so that you could give that man the care he needed and deserved. For him to be so gracious despite the fact that he was dying and had...

    AIDS during the 80s

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

    This just breaks my heart. It pains me to even read about how these people were treated. This wasn't about fear of AIDS. This was just staight up hate. I am so sorry your cousin was treated like this....

    Nursing school and a newborn?

    Irish_Mist replied to NicoleLynch's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are having a baby due August 30th (right around your due date). I have two prerequisites left before I can go to nursing school (micro and chem). I have decided to wait a bit before I apply. This...

    I want to adopt a dog from a shelter

    Irish_Mist replied to alexhecht's topic in General Students

    Adopting a dog from the shelter is one of the most rewarding things you can do. Adopting the dog in the age range you specified is even better because so many of them are overlooked due to many...

    What was your favorite topic to study in A&P?

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking Anatomy and Physiology 2 this semester. I must say, I like it a lot better than part 1. It is much more in depth and I already know what to expect. My favorite topic in part 1 was the...

    Racial Refusals In Nursing

    Irish_Mist replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is a disgrace that there are patients presumptuous enough to make such a request. Don't even get me started on the ones who have medicare and medicaid. I seriously wish people would get...

    "Some people have a job. We have a calling."

    Irish_Mist posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I was driving to work early this morning and happened to notice a billboard advertising a quite large hospital system in my area. "Some people have a job. We have a calling." It got me thinking about...
