  1. arterial blood gas

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pulmonary

    Ok, so this is from me, the preop patient, not me, the nursing student. :) I have to get arterial blood gasses drawn next week and I hear they hurt like hell. Do I have to ask for a local first or is...

  2. Is this a ripoff?

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Improve NET scores I am desperate enough to sling $39.95 to this guy if it will help any but something tells me it's a ripoff and that just studying the NET study guide will be enough. Has anyone...

  3. Is this a ripoff?

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    phew! Saved $39.95! Yeehaw!

  4. Epidural-induced Hypotension

    moonbeamsmom replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    That's one thing I didn't like - not being told what was going on! I was so out of it, I thought everyone was coming in to watch me push! :chuckle

  5. Where is everyone working during school?

    moonbeamsmom replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm another one who works in transcription but I am a quality assurance editor. I was a transcriptionist for 10 years and just started doing the editing this year. I like editing, just not...

  6. Epidural-induced Hypotension

    moonbeamsmom replied to RaeT,RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    More of a mommy question than a nurse question but if someone (me) has had a severe hypotensive episode after an epidural, including loss of fetal heart tones, would it be likely to happen again if I...

  7. Dissect a cat?!

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ok, I know I'm a wuss but if any of you have had to do this for an A&P class, how did you survive? I almost think I could chuck my whole career decision to avoid having to do this. Almost. Any...

  8. Failed NET - disappointed :(

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm so angry at myself right now. I can't believe I actually passed the math part with flying colors, which was the part I studied hard for and was concerned about, but failed the READING part by 4...

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    great advice and so

  10. Dissect a cat?!

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm all for watching. I could do that easily. I don't have a total aversion to it being done by others in my group or an instructor but me personally I'm just kind of blech about it. But, if it came...

  12. Failed NET - disappointed :(

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For the record, I did have the very hideously-priced study guide and still do. I'm studying it because I went yesterday and scheduled my 2nd time around! :balloons: :balloons: :rotfl:...

  13. Online Science Courses

    moonbeamsmom replied to mona b RN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    So are you telling me that I can take A&P at home from Philadelphia, with an at home lab, no cat dissecting, and do it before nursing school actually starts? And not have to set foot on a campus?...

  14. Who all is applying this semester for Fall 2006?

    moonbeamsmom replied to marilynmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Applying. Officially petition after I retake the NET. In Minneapolis, my hometown, the community college is full until 2008!!!!

  15. Failed NET - disappointed :(

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Ha! I didn't think about that. I still have the opportunity to retest twice more, so I guess that is having the door opened for me. Thanks for opening my

  16. Dissect a cat?!

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Wow, that was a very intense thread. Glad I missed it! But I guess I will just have to suck it up or take A&P elsewhere. I'll just have to slap on the Vicks Vaporub, think really negative...

  17. Failed NET - disappointed :(

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That's exactly how I felt. When I read the questions on the test, they seemed a little different than the ones in the book. I can't remember what specifically it was but they asked for something that...

  18. Failed NET - disappointed :(

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My problem I think is that I overstudied the math part, worrying myself to death about that, and then didn't take any time to study the reading at all. I was overconfident about it. I did take the...

  19. Three weeks until NET results!

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just read the information from my college again and it said that you get the results mailed to your home within 3 weeks of your testing date because they have to send out your testing sheets!...

  20. Algebra problem help needed ASAP!

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking the NET test tomorrow and I am going through the study guide. I keep missing the same two problems and I SWEAR I am doing them right... at least the only way I have ever been taught. Can...

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Those have been hard for me too Janelle! :uhoh21: Good luck! I leave in about a half hour! Here's hoping I come back with good vibes (and a really good score would be nice

  22. Algebra problem help needed ASAP!

    moonbeamsmom replied to moonbeamsmom's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    ohmigosh! Thanks ladies! Yes, it is from the NET study guide. The problem is that I WAS trying to work from left to right. It makes total sense now!!! Sheesh! It seemed so logical at the time when I...

  23. How to raise kids...

    moonbeamsmom replied to FNPhopeful's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Thanks! I know you are right. She knows what to do to get attention and that is what she wants now at this age. My husband and I don't spank either. Coincidentally, I have a friend whose husband is a...

  24. Is anyone else SCARED, after reading some posts from 1st years?

    moonbeamsmom replied to Paula7's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Shoot, you are cute enough! I'll just have to mooch off of you!

  25. NET - when do you get results?

    moonbeamsmom posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am taking the NET on the 19th. Do you get the results right there or do you have to wait? Thanks! :)
