    Spangle Brown replied to boragirl02's topic in Florida Nursing

    I got my Calculating Dosages Safely from walmart.com. I noticed it when I was searching at amazon. Amazon was cheaper then the bookstore, but walmart beat amazon by $10. Nice savings. But it's the...

  3. How to study for Medical Terminology

    Spangle Brown replied to princesama's topic in General Students

    You can teach yourself. Get the book and start from the front and go. Be thankful you don't have to show credit for it. But you still need to learn it. As Heathermaizey has stated, it's basicly...

  4. Why Wages Are Stagnant

    Spangle Brown replied to chuckster's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Another thing that is happening for most workers. Workers pay was cut and many layed off to save the company. Pay cuts and cost they seen cost of living increases go away. Now, a pay raise equals...

  5. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Spangle Brown replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    IT is because it is the only place to receive care, that you can not be turned away from. Even if you can not afford it. I think if they really get the affordable health care act, really affordable,...

  6. HUGS?!

    Spangle Brown replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    Easy. I didn't attend Massage therapy school and I would get fired for practicing out of my

  7. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Spangle Brown replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I actually totally get all that, except only respecting only the compliant ones. But read this whole thread, and take the attitude as a whole, then maybe you will get the problem as I see it. We...

  8. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Spangle Brown replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Not a pop shot, it was an response to your comment about them using it as an excuse. Which needs to be discussed if we want to help patients who deal with this. And it is directed at all who have...

  9. Valencia College Spring 2015

    Spangle Brown replied to boragirl02's topic in Florida Nursing

    Ah, if that is so, then it goes by SDD or some letters like that. And there will be signs for it. I always park by it, and go from there, since it's in the center, so I don't feel like I have parked...

  10. So I have a few questions about my GPA.

    Spangle Brown replied to Rocktheman's topic in General Students

    Be honest. I also had a controlling Mom and screwed up my education from this kind of talk. But that was years and years ago. But this is part of the cutting of the apron strings sort of thing. She...

  11. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Spangle Brown replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Actually, part of the problem is that you believe it's an excuse. If person with a gun shot said they needed pain pills, would it be considered an excuse? The issue is real, not an excuse. What a...

  12. "I need to eat, I'm a diabetic!"

    Spangle Brown replied to Emergent's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Sorry, When I read it, that is not the impression I got. It seemed to be making fun of Diabetics dealing with a sugar drop. If it was as you say, it would have mentioned more of the 'service'...

  13. Should I take my algebra classes over?

    Spangle Brown replied to tbird88's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    AT my school D isn't considered a passing grade. If it is a class that is needed, you would have to retake it. If it isn't a class you need, you can brush on your math using Alek, I used it to brush...

  14. "Please pray for me to pass"...?

    Spangle Brown replied to RNsRWe's topic in Spirituality, Religion

    This is an issue we kind of need to understand in the Health care field. There have been studies dealing with the idea of positive thought. Prayer is a form of this. A positive attitude will have a...

    Does it have to be West camp? I was hoping to get it done at

  16. Whats in your clinical bag???

    Spangle Brown replied to missycrowell's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Are some of those books digital? If they are, you can use a smart phone, etc, and lighten up the

  17. Valencia College Spring 2015

    Spangle Brown replied to boragirl02's topic in Florida Nursing

    I am confused about the new ID. Is it for new students, or does everyone need to get a new one? Are you picking up those books to study before school starts? I plan on getting the dosage book, you...

  18. Fix me NOW (but on my terms or I'll leave AMA)

    Spangle Brown replied to HikingEDRN's topic in Emergency

    When Glucose drops down past the patients 'norm', then yes, the body does respond. The body acts like it is going hypoglycemic and sends out all the warnings so the patient will eat and bring the...

  19. Could I still become an LVN?

    Spangle Brown replied to gs111's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As a person who has struggles with issues that you have, I can tell you that having a goal that you look forward to working on and doing in the end, will help with alot of your issues. Going to school...

  20. Valencia College Spring 2015

    Spangle Brown replied to boragirl02's topic in Florida Nursing

    I think the school sets it up. If it doesn't then that is first on the todo list. I heard one of the West Campus Professor sets up several study groups on how to study and that she is GREAT! I hope...

    Spangle Brown replied to boragirl02's topic in Florida Nursing

  22. In LPN Program - Denied Acceptance into ADN Program

    Spangle Brown replied to kimmyanne02's topic in General Students

    My school just changed their requirement to a 3.00 overall GPA and a 3.3 Science GPA that includes A & P 1 & 2, and Microbiology. It use to be a 2.5 GPA. They said their reasoning was that...

  23. Would you feel uncomfortable with your coworkers caring for you?

    Spangle Brown replied to richardgecko's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think it is very telling that this is even an issue. This tells me that privacy isn't respected in that location. That people gossips about what they see and hear at that location. What we judge...

  24. Valencia College Spring 2015

    Spangle Brown replied to boragirl02's topic in Florida Nursing

    Thanks for this topic. I needed it. I'm in my late 40's and I start Nursing school in January. I've been worried about keeping up with the younger ones. And wither I will be able to get all the...
