  1. Are there any gay nurses here?

    jaycam replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    It is a rather spiffy haircut. I went for the "Fluff and

  2. Are there any gay nurses here?

    jaycam replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I live in a city where the pride parade is the third gayest parade in the city. So no one seems more than a little surprised if I wear pride jewelry to work. Occasionally run into some conservatives....

  3. How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    jaycam replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm T2DM. I eat about 60% carbs. Almost no fat, except for whole avocados or nuts. I think the combo of the macros and which ones and how much matter quite a bit. It doesn't seem like it should work,...

  4. How You Can Lose 50 Pounds In 90 Days

    jaycam replied to Surg-OncRN's topic in General Nursing

    I'm a vegetarian who does no refined sugar, no dairy, no eggs. I eat loads of carbs in either whole fruit or whole grain forms. My carb intake is about 60 percent of my daily calorie intake and I'm...

  5. Need help

    jaycam replied to daatadeen17's topic in Nursing Career

    A couple of the students at my school are doing long distance engagements and marriages while they finish school. You could do an ADN program and do that. I would say that you don't know yet where he...

  6. first-degree burn

    jaycam replied to Ibrahim.Gosadi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Doesn't say in the question that the child is in pain, it says discomfort. OP also states the answer according to where he got the question is

  7. first-degree burn

    jaycam replied to Ibrahim.Gosadi's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    First degree burns are superficial burns off the epidermis. While they are uncomfortable, they are not partial or full thickness burns which require different interventions. Pain control is a must for...

  8. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's actually a pretty normal fear reaction. If they admit others didn't deserve it, they admit it can happen to them. Blaming the victim allows a false safety of "I wouldn't be do something...

  9. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    That's not even close to the situation though, it assumes that rape is inevitable. A better example is that you have damn. At this damn, no one cares about the people living down river, and...

  10. Has anyone taken statistics online?

    jaycam replied to Jessica1019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Khan Academy had great resources for the basic stuff like z scores and

  11. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    The way to prevent rape is to teach people not to rape. This isn't even do much about men vs women. Men can be raped. Women can be rapists. When we leave the burden on the victims to be less of a...

  12. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Look, I'm not going to pretend I'm as big as a man, or as strong as man. I'm on the tall end of short. I'll certainly try to run or fight if I can, but a male of similar stature (that saying he's...

  13. A&P

    jaycam replied to annette46's topic in General Students

    That seems pretty fast for me, but I suppose it varies by school. I personally memorized bones and body regions before my first A&P course. I also got clear plastic sleeves to keep blank handouts...

  14. Has anyone taken statistics online?

    jaycam replied to Jessica1019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yes, I took it online. I was not a huge fan of online and feel that if I had taken it in campus I would of had a better grade. I did well enough I currently tutor it, but I'm still a bit annoyed with...

  15. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    But Conqueror+.... Why do we need a one sized fits all solution. I want respected for my intelligence and treated as equal. I also think it's respectful to hold doors. Whoever gets to the door first...

  16. Feeling stuck

    jaycam replied to crazy4psych's topic in General Nursing

    I love behavioral health nursing and want to go into it myself. I'm 35 and just about to finish my degree. There's a lot you can do as a psych nurse, acute inpatient, clinic, nurse delegation,...

  17. Can I be a nurse with a colostomy?

    jaycam replied to BellaBlackwell's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Some of us find inspiration in our own health issues. We've seen the good, the bad, and the ugly. We know enough to have empathy. If you have it managed, I don't see why it would be anymore of an...

  18. Are there any gay nurses here?

    jaycam replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Panromantic here. I used to go to the local scene back home when I was younger because it was the one place I felt safe from attacks on my sexuality. It gave me a place to stand while I was growing...

  19. Help with a third nursing diagnosis.

    jaycam replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You got it.

  20. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    Rape is a scary thing. Even people who aren't survivors know that it's a scary thing. I mentioned previously that it was especially female friends who would blame me for what happened. There was very...

  21. Help with a third nursing diagnosis.

    jaycam replied to krissyycupcake's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Urinary retention sounds good, it can even feed into the risk for infection. Think for a moment though, what risk does a post partum mother have if their bladder gets distended? Mind you, not a...

  22. Transferring to another school after failure

    jaycam replied to Someday23's topic in General Students

    I would also expect to have to pay the first quarter/semester out of pocket. If you're on probation and you change schools, you may not be able to get any financial aid, even loans, until you show the...

  23. What was your GPA when you got accepted into nursing?

    jaycam replied to disnurse91's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it really depends on the school. There's an osteopathic school near where I live that has accepted lower GPAs than that. They weight other things higher that GPA, like volunteer work, coming...

  24. Transferring to another school after failure

    jaycam replied to Someday23's topic in General Students

    To follow up on what Beachy said, mostly true. There is an exception though. Programs that only look at your prerequisite GPA. That does mean you're likely looking at ADN programs and community...

  25. Stanford Rape

    jaycam replied to brandy1017's topic in General Nursing

    The one thing I dislike the most about rape culture. The huge push for us to make ourselves less of a target than the person next to us. When we are told that drinking is like playing in the streets,...
