  6. Morgellon's Disease

    Hi Phil, There was a post about Morgellons on here a few months ago. I tried to find it for you, but couldn't locate it. I looked at a few websites on msn that was just dedicated to morgellons and it seems to be a real disease and not a joke. Accordi...

  8. Any one going to Rend Lake college or Kaskaskia

    Thanks for everyones reply. It's been pretty hard to find time to reply. I was in Lakeland Colleges program and missed passing a class by a 10th of a point and was told I could go back next year and do it all over again, but I'm ready to find a diffe...
  9. working as a CNA

    I'm not sure what state you are in, but in Illinois you can take a semester long class and then the state test and become a cna. Many people that complete the cna course, have passed the test, and work as a cna can get out of some of the nursing cour...
  10. Wearing Gloves for Injections

    Our instructors tell us to glove the non dominant hand when giving injections and keep a etoh pad in between the fingers just incase we get a bleeder. But as far as that goes, I always glove whenever theres a chance I will be in contact with blood or...
  11. Your employer's policy re: *snow and ice*?

    My mom lives about 30 mile from work and always seems to make it in through the snow and ice. We live in the country and there is no city roads for about 10 mile from us. We have no one to plow the roads. I found it funny last year we had a pretty bi...
  12. first catheter!!!

  13. Feeding and toileting

    I can't believe the administration would rather their resident’s sit in their own urine/feces and try to eat a meal, along with others around their table, and feel that it's ok to do that. Obviously they have never had an accident while out shopping ...
  14. Need some Ideas

    I am in the nursing club at my college and we have to do a community service project. Our project is to go into either preschools or kindergarten to first grades to teach about hand washing. My question is how you go about teaching young children tha...

  16. mortal sin of failing!

    Speaking from experience, I AM one of those people that have committed the sin of failing. The 049 class I am in now I am failing. Am I proud of it? No. But my failing has nothing to do with me not studying hard enough or applying myself. We come her...
  17. Need some Ideas

    Thanks for the ideas guys! They are going to be a really good help! I thought about the glitter thing, but I have to check with the schools before we go in and make a mess... I've tried to find pictures for them to color to make a coloring book but I...
  18. I saw something new and scary

    The other night I caught an old episode of CSI and the "case" on there was drinking her urine to save her youthful appearance, as suggested by some doctor on the show.- according to my instructor, alot of people do drink their own urine for some old ...
  19. sex education in school

    I think that sex Ed needs to be taught in school. There was a article in the local news paper the other night about children in 7th and 8th grade taking those "practice babies" home for 1 or 2 nights during the week to find out that being a parent is...
  20. Background Checks! Is school a total loss?

    I know how you feel on this one. I was arrested for domestic battery on my ex boyfriend (who by the way, beat the crap out of me ,I slapped him and he got to the phone to call the cops first) and my case was dropped out of court. I would have been ch...
