  1. Male student nurse interviewing for Postpartum..

    KarenMS replied to kingvonnBSN2017's topic in Ob/Gyn

    He sounds like a

  2. What ACTUALLY works in nursing school

    KarenMS replied to Valcorie34's topic in Study Tips for Students's Share Tips

    Going to try this style of notes tomorrow :)

  3. Diffuse pain

    KarenMS replied to KarenMS's topic in General Students

    That makes sense, in the context of the word "diffuse." Like the pain just spreads.

  4. Diffuse pain

    KarenMS posted a topic in General Students

    Can anyone explain what "diffuse pain" is? I understand that it means that it shifts in location and intensity (so changing in quality?) but I'm having difficulty picturing it. Maybe someone here has...

  5. Solutions for Drinks at Nursing Station?

    KarenMS replied to ImNicoEh's topic in General Nursing

    The associate argument is confusing to me. I have lawyer friends who refer to their professional peers as "this is my associate, so and so..." While I've heard cashiers called associates too; I...

  6. Trying to be therapeutic!

    KarenMS replied to KarenMS's topic in General Students

    Thanks so much for the responses. What you've all said makes a lot of sense; I think I was focusing too much on the actual words rather than the attitude and tone behind the words. I'm hoping that...

  7. Habits you picked up from work...

    KarenMS replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    This was my sister, not me, but when she started working night shift in a pediatric facility with mostly trached kids, the sound of her puggle's snorty breathing would wake her out of a sound sleep,...

  8. Have you met your husband at nursing? Is nursing a good career to meet men?

    KarenMS replied to Upward_Bound's topic in General Nursing

    Was I the only one who assumed she's been divorced and now dating someone

  9. Embarrassed and depressed

    KarenMS replied to beezwax404's topic in General Students

    Living at home while doing something productive is not even a little bit shameful. There is nothing embarrassing about families living together because it makes financial sense, especially these days....

  10. do you think this is rude?

    KarenMS replied to ssquared123's topic in General Students

    Just for my education: where should I be putting dirty linens as I change the bed, but before I leave the room? I'm only a few clinical weekends in, so I wasn't aware this was a no-no. On the unit,...

  11. Frustrated by cheaters?

    KarenMS replied to Student2017555's topic in General Students

    I doubt the upperclassmen remember what was on the test word for word, they probably only remember general topics, which wouldn't really give them that much of an advantage. I'm just not sure how this...

  12. Husband just got into ASN program -- should he pursue it?

    KarenMS replied to Mindylane's topic in General Students

    It's not "just" school. It's a major financial investment. It's valid for a spouse to have input on this, to have an opinion on whether or not it's worth it to the

  13. Applying to nursing school this year... is a baby a terrible idea?

    KarenMS replied to Chrisley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm not a regular poster, but I thought I'd chime in here. I have an almost 3 year old and a 6 month old, and I am 2 months into an evening/weekend program. I work about 6 shifts a month as a PCA (I...

  14. Abington Dixon School of Nursing Fall 2015 entry applicants?

    KarenMS replied to Kristent2818's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    My name is Karen Smith; you are welcome to find me on Facebook if you'd like! It's a common name, so I'm trying to add my profile picture here to match my FB

  15. Abington Dixon School of Nursing Fall 2015 entry applicants?

    KarenMS replied to Kristent2818's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi! I received my (provisional) acceptance letter today! (Finishing up Microbiology now.) Such a relief; I was so nervous after sending in my application materials right at the wire! I'll be joining...

  16. Abington Dixon School of Nursing Fall 2015 entry applicants?

    KarenMS replied to Kristent2818's topic in Pennsylvania Nursing

    Hi, anyone like me not get all their application materials in until the deadline?? Until reading here, I didn't realize how early most people would apply! I'm very nervous
