  1. Taking chem, a&p1 & then some

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to gabbyj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    It depends on how smart you

  2. NP, CRNA, or DNP

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to gabbyj's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    DNPs are generally NPs. Currently you can either be an MSN or DNP prepared

  3. Sexism in the Workplace

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    And Windsurfer, as far as your evidence is concerned, how do you suggest I get that information or how can I ensure it is reliable. Just documenting what I see is not going to be enough because...

  4. Sexism in the Workplace

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Avalanche, of course I have shown that I can do these things because they are a part of everyones' job description. Comparing lifting ability to IV sticking is comparing apples and oranges, because...

  5. What is a research paper

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to soon2bnurse5's topic in General Students

    Google?

  6. Grievance With College & Tactfulness...

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to PrnAdnST's topic in General Students

    How else did you want them to say it? There are a limited amount of spaces and a lot of students failed. Why is that so rude to state the

  7. LPN or PCT Which one is better?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to MSBREELEE's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Honestly, if you're a CNA with some experience, you can get on the job training to become a PCT. That's what I did. Being a CNA is something with some recognition by state boards of nursing, PCT alone...

  8. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    Not giving pain meds results in the consequence of someone being in temporary psychological discomfort. Not debriding can cause death or loss of limb because of infection. Both of these are composed...

  9. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    You clearly are not understanding what I am saying. There is a difference between something being composed of physiological processes and something negatively impacting important physiological...

  10. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    And of course there are exceptions to every rule where it is possible for pain to be a higher priority for some patients, but as a general rule, pain is psychological and physiological needs come...

  11. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    Pain is a physiological process, but almost all the bad things (negative consequences) that result from pain are psychological consequences, not physiological consequences. Compared to the ABCs and...

  12. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    Rose_Queen, what you are saying goes directly against Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Yes, pain can have physiological consequences like increasing cortisol levels and other hormonal reactions, but that...

  13. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

    I would have to disagree. Any physiological need comes before a psychological one, so the tissue/skin integrity should come before addressing pain in terms of

  14. Should I stay in MS?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to ehinofaith's topic in General Students

    A lot of people say that med surg experience is good (some even say necessary) to practice your skills before moving on to a specialty unit. I'm not a nurse, but when I become one, I plan on getting...

  15. Grades are in! How did you do?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to UCFAshley's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Got an A in A&P 1. Taking A&P 2 and Micro this coming

  16. What helped you do well in Chemistry?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Also, it's all about valence electrons. Chemistry is a science of surfaces. It's why valence electrons determine chemical

  17. What helped you do well in Chemistry?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My chemistry teacher used to say "Chem Is Try" I'm more of a conceptual learner, so things like chem come easy to me, but memorizing things? I SUCK at that. I have a feeling learning medications is...

  18. New Grad RN in Neuro Progressive Care Unit

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to AZRNallday's topic in General Nursing

    I've heard rumors that neuro floors are commonly dumping grounds for patients that no other floor wants. That's definitely how it is at my hospital, anyway. Our neuro unit has a reputation among our...

  19. Does Laketech accept private student loans?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to saltyslippers's topic in School, College Programs

    Pretty much any school should accept private loans. You are borrowing from a bank or other private entity. You don't use the FAFSA or a government loan handler. Pretty much it's between you and the...

  20. Nursing program- should I stick with mine or look elsewhere?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to TravelRhythm's topic in School, College Programs

    They are pretty much the same, except the "solutes" are actually dissolved in one and in the other they're not. But the concepts of tonicity apply to

  21. Do old college transcripts haunt you when applying to nursing schools?

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to nervousnursingstudnt's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    For my program, they only consider prereq classes as a part of the GPA they consider. So, it really depends on your

  22. Pre-nursing reqs

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Baylee87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I wasn't making fun of people who have trouble with math. It was just funny to think that algebra doesn't have real world

  23. Sexism in the Workplace

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Zyprexa_Ho's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I don't mind helping people. I just mind always being the first one to be asked in these situations. It's not fair to my body to be doing so much more strenuous activity when I'm getting paid the same...

  24. PCT III salary at All Childrens or Baycare St Petersburg-Largo

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to Fraiser's topic in Patient Care Technician, Assistants

    Nurses can work as PCTs. The nursing scope of practice is greater than PCTs/CNAs, but it also includes those "lesser" skills. Much like how a doctor can start an IV as it is included in their scope of...

  25. Passed nursing 3!!!

    Zyprexa_Ho replied to KStudentNurse70's topic in General Students

    Some programs (like the one I'm trying to get into) don't have fundamentals, peds, psych, ob, etc. They have Nursing 1, 2, 3, and 4 Congrats
