  1. As a nursing student...

    1Tulip replied to MMARN's topic in General Students

    Ladies! Ladies! Don't forget that (alas) slightly less than 50% of new med students and doctors are males. So the odds of nabbing a doc for a husband or whatever are about half of what they were....

  2. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    I shoud think you have to decide your genre first. Collected essays, maybe? And your audience... the general reading public or the nursing community? (If you want to make money and have the big...

  3. Need help on stethoscopes!

    1Tulip replied to mcknis's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with Larry: 1. Find the one that works best for you. 2. Get your initials engraved on it. (I just scratched mine on... nothing fancy) 3. Never, ever let it leave you body or pocket. Never...

  4. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    An excellent observation, Spaniel. I have a sister-in-law who is a brand new nurse and I was perusing Amazon for books about nursing... anything readable and informative, fun or provocative. The...

  5. Any Nursing Students with Learning Disabilities?

    1Tulip replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in General Students

    I doubt your problems are organic. But you may need to assess your study habits and methods. No one reads and retains for the whole semester! You need to be able to assemble notes and study-aids...

  6. Any Nursing Students with Learning Disabilities?

    1Tulip replied to NurseDaddy2006's topic in General Students

    I think it's a swell idea. My daughter has a learning disability, flunked out of college. After getting married, having a baby and while working full time as an EMT, went to Excelsior, graduated...

  7. Help I want to quit

    1Tulip replied to okimosh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I've seen it work. If the exams come mostly from the readings, then outline all the readings in your own words (or your own diagrams/charts). Works the

  8. Support Groups-Seeking Good Advise

    1Tulip replied to naskippy's topic in Nevada Nursing

    I live in Reno. We are more of a community than is LV. More diversified economically. And, trust me, we don't have those Baghdad-hot summers. We also have a couple of things that can help you....

  9. Anyone working at Washoe Medical Center?

    1Tulip replied to SanFranSRNA's topic in Nevada Nursing

    CeciRN, St. Mary's launched an agressive building program a couple of years ago and may have over-extended themselves. I find it hard to believe that it would tank completely and dry up and blow...

  10. Help I want to quit

    1Tulip replied to okimosh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Oops... just saw Daytonite's advice and I think it's really solid. So you have a couple of really good approaches that have some areas of overlap. This is doable. Lots of people have done it and...

  11. Help I want to quit

    1Tulip replied to okimosh's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I was basically going to say what KatieBell did. Depressed people make really stupid snap decisions. (Trust me.) I taught pathophysiology (and pharmacology) for three years. Very few of my students...

  12. Washoe

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in Nevada Nursing

    No word yet. I've been calling and e-mailing. If they would just tell me "no" it wouldn't be such a bad thing. I'd just look elsewhere for a position. But to tell me NOTHING is rather bad manners...

  13. Washoe

    1Tulip posted a topic in Nevada Nursing

    For 3 or more weeks, I've been told that I had the job I applied for. Met with the unit staff, the nurse manager, the whole deal. The job 's mine. Definately. But since that time, no word. Nothing...

  14. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Hi Gen, the section of the post you clipped was mine and maybe GrannyNurse would not agree that I'm making sense. I think I'm probably confusing people when I cut and paste parts of other posts into...

  17. Should I give $$ to the ANA?

    1Tulip posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, here's the deal: I am a member of my state nursing organization, and therefore an ANA member. Personally, I think our State Org does a very good job representing our profession before our state...

  18. What is your opinion and the BON ruling in your state?

    1Tulip replied to button2cute's topic in General Nursing

    I'm assuming you have "narcotic quality" chronic pain. It sounds like you are taking regular hydrocodone or equivalent with a 2-4 hour half life. (Maybe I'm wrong, if not... ignore what follows.)...

  19. Should I give $$ to the ANA?

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks VPJ. Good work. Now if I could be sure that's what ANA would spend my money for, maybe I'd sign the pledge card! At the very least, I'll contact my congressional

  20. Should I give $$ to the ANA?

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah, I have a lot of ambivalence about ANA. If it weren't for the objectively positive work that is being done by our state organization, I don't think I'd be a member of the national group. I...

  21. Should I give $$ to the ANA?

    1Tulip replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    Are there any State Nurses Assn's that apostasize from the dogma of BSN-only? Ours is a small population state. Very intimate in many ways. In my view we have got to hang together or hang...

  22. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    You know... I might be wrong, but I think we're sort of reaching some conclusions here. Bookwormom's post on how her thoughts about the human condition influenced her view of nursing and nursing...

  23. Did terribly on GRE

    1Tulip replied to FloridaCCRN's topic in Post Graduate Students

    At our university there are two "authorities" on admission to the Graduate School. The first is... the Office of Graduate Studies for the University as a whole. They will publish generic standards...

  24. i need help on Nursing theories!

    1Tulip replied to rain05's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Hello Rain05. Yes, Jean Watson has her own web page. You can google it. Or, you can try going to (I'm copying this off of a down-load I made) http://www2.uchsc.edu/son/carinng/content On her page...

  25. I *do* recognize the need for nursing theory

    1Tulip replied to carachel2's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Oh, by the way... I thought the comments about the ANA were interesting. This is another area about which I am very conflicted. I'm going to introduce a thread on it in the General Nursing...
