  2. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    colleen10 replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I actually enjoy giving bed baths because it's the one time during the day that I can actually have a full conversation with a patient. And you can't beat any other way to do a skin assessment....

    colleen10 replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    Hi Twintoo, I'm a first semester student nurse myself and I think you have learned a valuable lesson early on in the game. Keep your mouth shut, your ears open and don't make waves. I completely...

  6. Lotus births.

    colleen10 replied to dawngloves's topic in Ob/Gyn

    (Sarcastically) Because, PeggySue, her children were irrevocably harmed by being prematurely seperated from their "love-heart thing" and it "hurt their heart" to be seperated from it. Wouldn't you...

  12. Am I getting jipped???

    colleen10 replied to nicoleinphilly's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    That just stinks all around. I am not sure I would want to work for an employer that would do such a thing. A similar situation happened to my SIL who works in the Brokerage/Invetment field. Her...

    colleen10 replied to huggietoes's topic in General Nursing

    colleen10 replied to Altra's topic in General Students

    Hi Leigh, Excellent idea. Practice on as many people as you can find. I spent a lot of time going up to friends and family and asking if I could try to find their brachial pulse. It helped. I am in...

  20. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    colleen10 replied to KR's topic in General Students

  24. Subjective or Objective?

    colleen10 replied to bedpan's topic in General Students

    If you were in my class and answered it as objective it would have been marked right. I asked my instructor about this on Sat. and she said it is still objective. Her reasoning was that the mother...

    colleen10 replied to bedpan's topic in General Students

    I found an even more specific definition of Subjective / Objective than what I even learned in class last week. Subjective Data: Referred to as Symptoms or covert data, are apparent only to the...
