  1. Smoking cessation

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    Just a real quick question on this as far as a patient goes. My book seems a bit vague, and this seems like a question that could be asked. If you are trying to educate a patient to stop smoking, how...

  2. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Zooey72 replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, but if we are going to be treating 26 year olds as children I also think they should not be allowed to drink, vote, or be drafted. If the claim is (and I think it is a silly one) that these...

  3. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Zooey72 replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    Politics aside, what you are saying is going to happen as far as a monopoly goes can't happen because of anti-trust laws. Your example of the grocery store is true, but Kroger will not be allowed to...

  4. So what's going to happen to health care now?

    Zooey72 replied to Rocknurse's topic in General Nursing

    What people don't understand about the whole heathcare debate is that insurance is not healthcare. The reason it is expensive is because there is a limit of qualified people and resources. If you...

  5. Do grades mean much?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I am a first year nursing student and I am starting to come to the conclusion that as long as you pass, grades really are not that important. Don't get me wrong, I know they are important as far as...

  6. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    At least you are trying to defend your argument with a primary source like the Constitution; which is better than saying "the court said it was this way so I win". Whether it be Roe vs. Wade or...

  7. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    That was a pretty off the wall post. Would you like to go back through SCOTUS and it's history of defending Jim Crow laws? There is another phrase they throw around with that, and that is...

  8. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    I will get back to this later (busy), but you are dancing around my point. Cooking, fashion, whatever. What evidence do you have, that especially in those fields that are reliant on customer...

  9. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    I really do not know what to make of your post. If you are saying "protected class" and mean it as an insult, by all means I agree with you. If you are honestly posting about how it couldn't...

  10. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    In the context of our posts, I think you know very well what "people like you are". My skin pigmentation became less of a factor when I met some kind of insane criteria 'people like you' believe in...

  11. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    And you are correct about that. I was given points getting into nursing school because of my member and my age, and that is clearly wrong. I am an "A" student, and did not need (and I resent) any...

  12. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    I love the fact you suppose things about me. I never mentioned my race, but you assumed I was white. Maybe I am, maybe I am not; but what I will tell you is that my sister is black. (not that it...

  13. Agism in nursing?

    Zooey72 replied to td222's topic in General Students

    I have grown tired of the 'isms' in society. It seems like everyone wants to scream 'victim', and whoever screams it loud enough wins. I am an older male who just started nursing school. Nobody has...

  14. Smoking Nurses

    Zooey72 replied to broobrum58's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    You are exactly right, it is not anyone's business but the person doing it. The only exception to that is I don't agree with the "Smoke Break". I don't care what anyone does on a break, smoke or...

  15. Failing

    Zooey72 replied to tthaker's topic in General Students

    Sounds like a bad instructor to me. If YOU, or a FEW people are failing you can chalk that up to something other than the instructor. If 1/2 the class fails despite the fact that to make up for her...

  16. Do grades mean much?

    Zooey72 replied to Zooey72's topic in General Students

    I am going to do the best I can as far as grades go, but it seems like the weight of what the grades mean is not as heavy as it was getting into nursing school. I am kind of up in the air as far as...

  17. Flipping houses while travel nursing?

    Zooey72 posted a topic in Travel

    I am a first year student, so I still have 3 more semesters before I take the NCLEX... and am guessing a year or 2 experience before I could travel nurse. So I am looking at a 3-4 year time frame on...

  18. A question on charting.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I am trying to prepare for the documentation part of my next test and I have a general question as far as how I should approach studying for it. Would you think the questions would be phrased...

  19. Having hard time passing tests

    Zooey72 replied to Loveleen Sahni's topic in General Students

    I had close to a 4.0 going into nursing school, took my first test and failed it. I talked to my prof. and she gave me some good advice, but after seeing what the test was I pretty much knew where I...

  20. Help!!! Study Tips Needed

    Zooey72 replied to 2018 RN's topic in General Students

    I am older too, kicked but on my pre-reqs (straight A's with 1 B+). Got into nursing school and bombed my first test. That was quite disheartening, but I learned from it and just took my last test...

  21. A good Critical Thinking source

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    I want to do my best to "Think Like a Nurse", however this being my 4th week of nursing school my medical knowledge is limited. However, my next test will be covering "Critical thinking", and I would...

  22. How did you study for A&P?

    Zooey72 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    And learn the citric acid cycle from day one in A&P1; it will make all your pre-reqs easier. For some reason it has been decreed that it is so important it needs to be taught in A&P 1&2...

  23. NCLEX/TEST type question.

    Zooey72 posted a topic in General Students

    Ok, I was told that the nature of the questions the answer will never be "get someone else to do it". And that is fine, the questions should not be about passing the buck. But if a question is asked...

  24. BP

    Zooey72 replied to neogirl's topic in General Students

    I am having a problem with this as well. I blew 250 bucks on my stethoscope, so I don't think that is it. I can hear it, but it just seems like it should be louder than what it is (I have no hearing...

  25. How did you study for A&P?

    Zooey72 replied to Neywel120's topic in General Students

    Oh, and one other thing with lab. Use your phone to take pictures of the 'props' that the prof is going to use. Go home, print those pictures out and label them. Drill yourself on the labeled...
