  1. What Can a Nurse do without...?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to JBirdAngel's topic in General Nursing

    I've been a part of a couple of oversea's medical volunteer trips, and what I've mostly found from my own experience, and from others is that education makes the difference. Manpower isn't so much...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for your input TazziRN! I was hoping you'd reply, especially since it was your thread that started me thinking about this. So social services, eh? I guess that would make plenty of sense....

  3. No Child Carseat = Child Endangerment = Call to Police?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in General Nursing

    I understand that calling the police may be a little over the top, but could you explain why you would not want to contact the police? My thinking on why it *might* be a good idea, is that you would...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to wackyj2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  7. How to Calculate GPA/Letter Grades?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    My school strictly uses a percentage grade for all courses, but I always hear students (especially Americans) referring to their marks as 4.0, 3.75, B-, C, etc. Is there a standardized system for...

  9. How to Calculate GPA/Letter Grades?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the website Moondance. I was actually there earlier today trying to answer my own question. It does help, but I'm curious....is this the standard way it is done across the USA? Is there...

  10. How to Calculate GPA/Letter Grades?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to S.T.A.C.E.Y's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    lol thanks, but I ask the question b/c I'm not from the states, I live in Ontario Canada and I've never heard any other students in my area ever talk about a GPA or letter

  11. having a baby due during nursing school..

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to nd deb's topic in General Students

    Well, I suppose if you were to plan the pregnancy so that you were to deliver during your summer break you wouldn't have to worry about missing any days for your delivery..... But the issue still...

  12. Vitals

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to x-tremestudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Radial Pulse: Are you palpating for the radial pulse on the inside of the wrist towards the thumb side? Are you pressing too hard? Try varying your position, and how hard you palpate for it....

  13. we're pregnant

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to medsurgnurse's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Urgh! I agree with you 100% on that one! The Girl Guides (Canada's version of Girl Scouts) actually adopted that as their new catchphrase.....made me very

  14. Leaving written report at shift change?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to uptoRNin04's topic in General Nursing

    I understand how leaving the patient without a nurse is abandonment, but I have another question. The OP said the charge nurse asked her to do this, so my question is, could she have given report to...

  15. medical examiner nurse?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to graceland's topic in General Nursing

    Maybe try the Forensic Nurse Forum, there might be some threads there about this

  16. Nursing Education - Generalist vs Specialist ?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm doing a project for one of my nursing classes on nursing education, and whether it would be more beneficial to remain a generalist education system or to specialize from the beginning. I have...

  17. Saying Hello & Needing Much appreciated Help

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Canadian13's topic in International Nursing

    Try checking out the NCLEX Forum here. Lots of threads there about what books were most helpful, and to talk with other people who have passed/failed. Good luck on your next

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to ibedebe's topic in General Nursing

    Check out the Travel Nurse Forum. I think theres a bunch of threads there talking about

  19. School uniforms.. ugh..

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    I know! I'm SO excited. I actually went to the uniform shop a couple of weeks ago and bought a bunch of new scrubs to wear. Probably spent too much, but I was just so happy not ever having to wear...

  20. School uniforms.. ugh..

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    We had to wear white uniforms too, but we could choose our own. Whatever all white scrubs we want, with white shoes. Everyone had different styles. It was nice b/c many brands just would not have...

  21. CONFUSED and in need of some advice, please.

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to wackyj2000's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'd say take a CNA course if you can, and get some time working as one to just get your feet wet. If your local hospital will allow you, see about shadowing in an area that you think interests you....

  22. I'm the only guy in my nursing class now...

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Scrubz's topic in General Students

    Thats exciting, the first guy to graduate from the nursing program at your school. My year started with two guys (of about 70ppl), but after first semester we lost one. In our final year, we're now...

  23. Night Shift and Phone Calls from Family - Vent

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to incublissRN's topic in General Nursing

    Agreed! While in college, my weekends are my days to sleep in and relax...not to get up early. Some Fridays and Saturdays I wouldn't go to bed until 3 4 or 5 am. My father used to call me at 6am...

  24. Instructor trouble

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Boltthrower's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Questioning an order you are unsure about is one thing, but to start Doctor bashing wouldn't be a good idea (of course). Honestly, my feeling on the subject is that I agree the prof isn't projecting...

  25. How bad would it be to get pregnant while in nursing school?

    S.T.A.C.E.Y replied to Soup Turtle's topic in General Nursing

    I sure wouldn't have wanted the extra pressure of a pregnancy on top of school--and thankfully that was never an issue. Some people manage to have uneventful pregnancies and have no problems going to...
