I don't believe we should we rewarding and encouraging such behavior. By giving in, it only teaches him that if he escalates his behavior, he gets what he wants. Either he wants treatment, or he does not. Every PT we see like that, have learned th...

I think many of us are not aware of why we have it in the first place. A friend of mine told me of a trip she took to a third world country. While there, her group got sick enough that they HAD to go to the hospital. In the waiting room was a pers...

Since they are being trained that way, when they say an officer is going to be investigated, he will be found to have followed protocol. Which is why cops get off, when they are clearly in the wrong. They are just following their training and protoc...

Very true. That is the way most normal people would react. The resisting arrest is something they can use that such a innocent person would STILL be guilty of in such a situation. Another words, we are to accept what every they do, without resistan...

At her age, I would not even look at the private schools. They are to costly. However, some community colleges have BSN programs. The CC programs are the cheapest way to go. Most BSN programs are on line. Many different options out there. Google is...

I would look into the community colleges for their ADN programs if you already have the pre's done. Most of them have a direct connect to UCF for the BSN bridge. If you keep your gpa above 3, then you can apply to UCF for your your BSN after you gra...

They refused? Maybe because no evidence has been submitted to be considered by the courts. She hasn't even been assessed by Court approved persons. I recall they started a case, but I don't recall them actually doing anything with it.

Growing up I was told I was allergic to shrimp. The first time I ate it, I turned green over night. Lost everything to the potty. Over the years I questioned wither it was the shrimp, since I had also been told that it might have been mental. So...

Sorry guys, getting ready for finals. Yes the reading is from Fundamental of nursing book. Tues and Thursdays are your Lab days. Do NOT be late to lab. If you are a minute late, you will have to make up a whole hour. You really do clock in on a...

I"m a middle aged student in nursing school. Yes, we use them. For tests we can bring a very simple calculator. The kind you spend $2 on. And since they are so cheep, we can bring a second one incase the first one breaks. The math is dimension...

So, today was the big day. Welcome. I would not get the dosage book. I never used mine. It is very, very basic math in that book. In nursing !, they will have a Dosage Boot camp where they will teach you what you need to know. So save your money....

True, you don't have time in acute care. But you are assuming that they do not want to deal with them. At some point we need to address WHY a person is non-complient. What have they tried. What was working, what wasn't, etc. It is a process with ...

Oh, was you missed! Glad your back, searching the ole threads isn't the same. Continued prayers for your healing!

As in all things, buyer beware. I see this no different then the TV hawkers taking money from the elderly and spending it on private planes, etc. No harm in asking. There are always going to be such people. But, I have no problem donating to a fa...

I have a form that our professors had use fill out. It has places for 3 assessments. I keep it in my pocket and use it to write down information for charting. As I write info down, I am quickly reviewing the form for things I might be forgetting. T...

In bio class several years ago, I gave my lab assignment to one of my lab partners to copy OUR lab results from. He was was suppose to answer questions, etc use those values. He ended up copying my whole paper and turned it in. We both got an emai...

For those of us who are wait listed in programs that have pre's that include A&P 1 & 2, Micro, etc. But want to keep our information fresh, anyone want to group up to encourage and support each other to continue to study during this wait tim...

Trick to finding the present book list. Go to the Valencia online bookstore. Right now all the classes are at West, so just check there. No matter the teacher, the books will all be the same. The only difference, each term there is a chance that t...

I would have picked C for the same reasons.

Welcome guys. I started in the spring. Now in Nursing 2. You can start reading in the fundamentals book. and get a copy of "Fudamentals of Success" book. It shows you how to study and lots of practice questions. Test are a whole lot different th...

I don't think just having an ADN will get you in for a BSN. The college I am looking at after I finish my ADN still has a list of requirements in order to graduate. Most of them I took as those prereqs you was talking about. Only 2 classes that was...

AS a STUDENT who had something similar on a test, I can state that the correct answer is to follow the orders and not give it. That covers the rules and the legal portion. IF at any point something happens to the client and their file goes for a rev...

I can relate and it's exactly how I feel about it. I had nightmares about the Terry Schiavo situation. In the 80's we did not know exactly how HIV and Aids was being spread. The blood supply wasn't being tested like it is today. When I went in to ...

Stop apologizing. It was a good thread and a subject that needed to be discussed. You think your the only one who learned, I'm sure you not the only one who wondered. Discussion is a good thing. It is how we all learn, even if people are doing so si...
