  2. Alpha13, this comment won't earn you any brownie points, either (unless you actually bake us brownies). Better stop while you're ahead!
  3. Whoa, Alpha13. I hope you write back soon to explain this joke. Rnsoon, I agree with all the encouragement you've received here. It's tough when we don't make as good a grade as we think we should,...
  4. would you laugh at me ?

    Hey, I'm sorry for you. Nursing school is hard enough w/o health-related interferences. Are they sure it's not an ear infection? Very similiar sx. Good luck. Hope this gets resolved soon. Let us know...
  5. I will be graduating in May (God willing) and have been doing med-surg clinicals at our 300-bed hospital. This hospital uses team nursing and on the med-surg floors, the ratio is 1 RN/1 LPN/1 CNA to...

  7. Doc as partner

    As a student nurse, I had the pleasant experience today of being treated with respect by an MD, which brings this question to mind: Are there nursing fields where docs more readily treat nurses as...
  8. Need some moral/ethical (?) input

    I am not an RN yet but come from many years of corporate experience in another field (PR). What you're describing is very unprofessional. It appears "corporate" needs to provide some basic HR...
  9. Microbiology, Help!!!!

    Yes, it's a hard course, but I found it interesting, too. I had a nice instructor who couldn't teach. He read out of the book for lecture. I basically had to teach it to myself -- and managed to make...
  10. A little frustrated

    I'm convinced I continue to make A's in my nursing courses because I do as many practice NCLEX questions as I can find. I do all the questions on CDs that accompany my texts, and the Saunders guide is...
  11. Please tell: Is the Master Cardiology noticeably better than a standard Littman, like the Classic II SE I have? I do alright with it, but I'd get something else if I knew I'd hear better. Thanks for...

  16. Taber's or Stedman's??

    I love my Stedman's for Health Professions and Nursing. Has photos, illustrations, excellent anatomy section, etc. I've never used Taber's. Can't remember what we used at the hospital during...
  17. Am I crazy?

    Yes, that would be me also. Fortunately, I get to start micro in two weeks. I've been keeping myself busy doing things I couldn't do with my kids at school during fall and spring semesters. And...
  18. *Microbiology-Summer 2006*

    I'm in. Text: Intro to Micro, Nester. It's the only class I'm taking this summer so I can spend time w/my kids during their break. It should be a breeze after med-surg, psych nursing and 'Do It...
  19. I PMed you earlier today about sending some worksheets that show how to do
  20. Breastfeeding at 2 1/2 years???

    Four years here, and I had to wean my kids. If I hadn't, they'd probably still be nursing! :chuckle They're both well-adjusted, good kids. One is robust, the other seems to be the first to catch...
  21. The great thing about nursing is there are so many different ways to practice the art. Is moving to another discipline, like say working in a doctor's office or home health, an option for
  22. Is hospice for me?

    I'm a new (older) nursing student and haven't been on allnurses for a few days because I'm been swamped with school! (But love every bit of it.) I finished my first clinical rotation in med-surg and...
