    A wetting epidemic!

    fetch posted a topic in School

    Just had two fifth graders in here with wet pants. Gosh, I thought to myself, how strange! Neither of these two have ever had any problem with accidents before now, and they are old enough to not be...

    Student Growth Objectives

    fetch replied to Stitchy's mom's topic in School

    Sounds a lot like what nurses in my district have to do, but we get pretty creative with our goals. Some nurses do education based goals - give a pre-test on a certain subject to a chosen grade, then...

    A wetting epidemic!

    Of course, it's a little less funny today, when I've had 5 sick kiddos already because they were playing outside in the wet and cold

    The sight of blood makes me pass out.

    fetch replied to Joe V's topic in Nurses Rock

    So far (knock on wood) any bodily fluids haven't bothered me unduly. I mean, gross, yeah, but not pass out or puke gross. However. Watching any kind of nerve block will make me light-headed. Nearly...

    Is ECPI's RN program looked down upon? Looking for input.

    fetch replied to hamdog's topic in Virginia Nursing

    I already have a BA, so I am not going to go on and get my BSN. I will be looking into an RN to MSN bridge in a few years. The student loans I had to take out were very high, so I will definitely be...

    fetch posted a topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    A little background: I have a BA unrelated to healthcare from 2009, then I graduated with ADN (RN) in June 2012, and passed NCLEX in late July 2012. I spent almost a year at a plasma donation center,...

    The reality of my situation

    fetch replied to pacjeffery's topic in Virginia Nursing

    $1400/month for 900 sq feet is waaaaay higher rent than Chesapeake will have. Mid-range townhouses (rentals), 2 bed/2 bath, 1200 sq feet, run about $1000/month around here. NoVa is much more expensive...

    fetch replied to fetch's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Thanks for the info and link! My B-i-L went to Vanderbilt (not for nursing), he speaks very highly of the school in general. And it's reassuring to hear that there are ways to compensate for that...

    Is a drug rehab position good for new lpns?

    Also remember, word of mouth (such as online reviews) ALWAYS attract more negative feedback than good feedback. It could be there are some exceptional nurses there, or things have changed recently,...

    I agree, the Dankso's take some breaking in. Allegria is one that is popular around here, they don't seem to have the same break-in

    It almost sounds like you're thinking of a specific situation and want to know whether you're acting appropriately or not. Of course every situation is slightly different, what most commenters have...

    fetch replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    Just throwing it out there, that while many women are fertile until early 40s there are also some who can't conceive even in their 20s. Life might throw you a curveball in either direction, so, try to...

    Seizure or fainting?? Assessment question

    It sounds like everything you assessed could go either way. The best thing for the student is to see a doctor about it, monitor for any future episodes, and make sure she knows to eat before working...
