    Didnt attemp CPR to a rigor mortis patient

    BusyBee91 replied to Nar09's topic in General Nursing

    If he was in arrest, and had signed a DNR, then she did the right thing by respecting his wishes and not attempting to resuscitate him, regardless of how long he was dead/unconscious/whatever. No...

    Human Growth and Development CLEP

    BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dt, usually you don't get any grade when you transfer in CLEP credit. You get the credit, but no grade is recorded. It doesn't affect your GPA at all, at least in my experience. As long as you get...

    Human Growth and Development CLEP

    BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Interesting that you say that, because everywhere I've gone, CLEP transfers for 3 credits. No grade to boost your GPA, but I've always gotten the actual

    ADVICE for a pre-nursing student?

    BusyBee91 replied to aca731's topic in Maryland Nursing

    I got accepted to TUs program with a 3.31 cumulative GPA. My prereq was higher, my teas was a 90. I don't think there is anything stopping you, but don't underestimate the importance of the TEAS....

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    BusyBee91 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    1. Saying that obesity is not a behavior is true, but it seems a bit like an oversimplification. Certainly, there are exceptions, but I think generally speaking, the type of obesity we see as an...

    Epidural vs. Dilaudid?

    BusyBee91 replied to MssNurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    Eeek...not giving you any advice, but I insisted on general anesthesia just to get my wisdom teeth out. I have zero interest in being aware of any surgery happening to me. If I were going under the...

    What do you say if you don't pray?

    BusyBee91 replied to BusyBee91's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    Thanks all :) to clarify I wasn't saying I am offended by others offering to pray for me, I certainly take it as a gesture of goodwill. Neither am I uncomfortable simply 'being there' when someone...

    Nursing not for me?

    BusyBee91 replied to mermaidmotel's topic in General Students

    Hi mermaid, I'm no expert but I am so sorry you are feeling down about your career path. Is there something specific that you don't like about clinicals? As a non-expert I just wanna remind you...

    Did anybody buy a nursing mannikin to practice skills at home?

    BusyBee91 replied to strawberryluv's topic in General Students

    Ouch! I would never, ever, ever spend that kind of money to buy a manikin. Just my personal opinion, but seems like a wasteful extravagance. What am I paying tuition and fees for if I have to buy...

    BusyBee91 replied to djb1284's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    For my EMT vitals, we were taught the *trick* about taking a radial pulse while holding the pts wrist over their chest. take pulse for 30sec, and then you should be able to feel the chest rise for...

    BusyBee91 replied to Chiro2Nursing's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    1. You might try this in the general or prenursing forums- not that I doubt you are qualified to post in the 'male' forum, but you might get more readership in the others. 2. I just skimmed your...

    I have a sensitive nose too! Bad smells actually make me start gagging. I mean real, trying so hard not to puke gagging. It's not just me being like, ew,, gross, don't wanna touch that. It's like...

    How important is your 'look' as a nurse

    BusyBee91 replied to Nola009's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    To piggy back on the fat/health thing, I just want to point out that a) it's true that you can't tell someone's overall health from looking at them, and b) of course skinnier isn't always...

    BusyBee91 replied to stagha's topic in General Students

    For me, that load would be a snap. However, in the interest of making your life simpler, here's what I'd actually recommend. If psychology across the lifespan is what I think it is, (aka human growth...

    Uniform Inspection

    BusyBee91 replied to saraCOS's topic in General Students

    Ugh why on earth would anyone pick white pants as the mandatory uniform?? That's just cruel, and antiquated. Also, who the hell's business is it if you wear a thong!? As long as your underwear are...

    What kind of Stethoscope?

    BusyBee91 replied to rls927's topic in General Students

    How cheap? Cause if you can find a classic II for around $50, that's a pretty good investment imo. It will serve you well in nursing school, and, reportedly, will also be sufficient when you start...
