  2. that is too funny...does anyone understand what this person is talking about? seriously, the logic with which he/she operates is...unique. [i know i said this was my last post but I kept getting email...
  3. study guides on N.E.T./exams

    in my opinion, whether you need this book depends on what kind of test taker you are and how much is at stake. personally, i test very well but our school alomost exclusively bases its admission...
  4. that's not what i said...i said: many schools to require some form of lab dissection (cat, rat, shark, fetal pig, or whatever). whether that's a silly requirement is for a student to address with...
  5. do i really have to give two weeks notice??

    i think the question comes down to whether or not you want to work there again. technically you are probably an "at will" employee meaning that neither you nor the hospital/facility is bound to give...
  6. yep...i posted that link in the OP. just don't want to fork over the $3 to view a potentially useless article (call me frugal). thanks though,
  7. Hi, Does anyone have access to this article? "Choosing the best stethoscope" by C. Estelle Beaumont, MS, PhD Nursing2005 w/ Supplement: ED Insider August, 2005,Volume 35, Number 8, Pages 27 - 28...
  8. being old and having "experienced" life will not make you any more tolerant or sensitive, nor will it make you any more intelligent. let's discuss two false statements made by you,...
  9. thank you also our school has a similar subscription but the special insert was not provided (just the normal articles).
  10. OK, I'll bite...how should I have responded to the
  11. Good for you! I'm genuinely happy for you and envious, as I agree with many of the principles usually associated with vegetarianism. I was referring to the OP's "...I just woke up..." comment. I did...
  12. ...and some day you'll wake up and be a meat eater again. When that happens you'll be upset that you couldn't get through nursing school because of a stupid dead cat. I'm a guy, I went through my...
  13. OK...back to the OP's question... Regardless of what Daytonite was saying, I've found that working as a PCA while in nursing school has its advantages. I work my tail off on the floor and the nurses,...
  14. Which nursing school did you attend? Our administration is more worried about pass rates than student well being. Every policy decision or change I've witnessed has been to the detriment of students...
  15. What happen to taking Vital Signs???

    Off topic...everyone's spelling it "Dynamap," isn't it Dinamap? On topic...until our unit hires a third PCA to do manual vitals, I'll never have time to carefully take a manual BP. If we were required...

    Achoo!, I Personal Messaged regarding that Micro class.
  17. CNA Question

    No flame interpreted, i just thought it was an interesting topic so i checked the statutes (quite frankly, i didn't think there would be any mention of titles and their uses). txspadequeen921 may have...

  20. What a loaded question! Depends on what "it" is...:kiss...and who you ask (I'm married so my answer is a qualified
  21. CNA Question

    I'd bet the issue of who's a nurse is a little fuzzier than just LPN or RN. What about nurse interns, nurse externs, and graduate nurses? What about a previouly licensed RN who's license has expired...
  22. Do you ever get called, 'Doctor'?

    First post... I'm working as a Patient Care Assistant (PCA) as I attend nursing school. What I notice is that, while I'm not usually referred to as "Doctor," patients will often talk and make eye...
