    An incredible amount of wisdom for 29 years old! I saw something on facebook this week. If you lick the frosting off of cupcakes it is essentially a muffin. Muffins are good for you, your welcome....

    Dear GCU, I see on my LoudCloud home page that I have 4 unread posts but no unread topics. I cannot locate the unread posts so that I can read them or clear them from my alert page. Are you making...

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    Did you use hypothetical situations or information out of the book. What I mean is did you say "little Joey states his stomach hurts and is eating less" or did you say "the child would complain of...

    rob4546 replied to tokmom's topic in Online Distance Learning

    yes you did. These are the assignments that would really kill me in nursing school. You can't follow APA rules by not writing an APA paper. If the information is pulled from the text book then why...

    So I had a question. In Health Assessment week two assignment, how did everyone cite the entries into the GCU formatted page? The directions state pull everything from the book so did you cite every...

    Thanks everyone for the pep talk. I think I was just having a bad week or two. Everything was piling up on me and with the holidays I just blew a gasket. I think I am back, well at least I am...

    IV Sizes?

    rob4546 replied to Jennx's topic in General Students

    This is a fun post. I would say that it depends on what the veins look like. I work outpatient surgery and regularly see patients 90+ and the CRNA's like the IV placed in the dorsal aspect of the...

    Glad I am part of this thread. I saw the Mask as a choice for the powerpoint and told myself "I can do a PP on Jim Carrey, I need a laugh. " It was the only movie I think I have seen out of the...

    Reapply to BSN program? Or take the ADN seat?

    rob4546 replied to KathyVandy's topic in General Students

    Assuming that the ADN program has decent NCLEX pass rates, I would so be in that program ASAP. Would you be guaranteed acceptance in the spring or summer at the BSN program? Probably not which means...

    rob4546 replied to Flames9_RN's topic in School, College Programs

    Was this the one where you had to create the questions? I just interviewed a family friend (wife and child). It wasn't bad because we are pretty good friends. I got some real intimate answers that...

    How far to insert a catheter??

    rob4546 replied to Class09's topic in General Students

    Yeah, you are over thinking this. You lubricate the catheter for safety, ease of insertion, or prevent pain, not due to urethra length. I generously glob lube a couple inches and it usually lubes...

    Oh Hell!!! This is sooo funny. That is when you go to another ER in town... Seriously, it happens. A month ago we had a ED nurse from a town 3 hours away show up in our ER with something firmly...

    Yeah, I lucked out. There isn't much politics where I work. I kind of wanted to work on a floor where I worked holidays and nights for extra pay. Here holiday pay is double time. But while going...

    Test Banks = Academic Dishonesty???

    rob4546 replied to Haleiwa's topic in General Students

    The problem here is in defining test bank. If it is an Publisher created instructor test bank, used to test students on concepts, then it is cheating 100%. You cannot argue this, it is fact and...

    The most annoying student

    rob4546 replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    We had a guy that was really similar and he didn't make it through to graduation. It was humbling for him to flunk the final class and have to take it over again. I am not one to wish bad on others...

    Who else has had great instructors?

    rob4546 replied to sjalv's topic in General Students

    I had nothing but good experiences as well. Not easy, sometimes frustrating, but always good. Others in my class mirror some of the negative experiences talked about on this forum. So why did I...
