    Glad to hear it!

  2. New Grads Finding Jobs?

    diamondmeadows replied to bethann27's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I graduated with a BSN in May. I have been actively searching for employment since graduation, and I have not even had one interview. I'm sorry to hear about you losing your hours. I'm starting to...

    diamondmeadows replied to meladori's topic in Alabama Nursing

    I am graduating from UAH this spring, and I want to say first that in my opinion what you are experiencing is out of the ordinary. Of course there are a few exceptions, but I think the vast majority...

  4. have you used chemical restraint?

    diamondmeadows replied to diamondmeadows's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all so much for responding to me. I truly appreciate your thoughts and experiences. Maybe I didn't make my intentions clear enough in my original post. This project is a scholarly...

  5. have you used chemical restraint?

    diamondmeadows replied to diamondmeadows's topic in General Nursing

    I understand what you are saying. However, nurses in research have reported doing this, and nurses in real life that my group members and I have spoken to have also reported doing this, so I felt the...

  6. skills check off tomorrow--blood pressure..help!

    diamondmeadows replied to premedturnednursing's topic in General Students

    I second this. I have to use soft eartips; I can't hear anything through those hard plastic ones. I've noticed that a lot of steths come with a set of both. You might give it a try. Good luck, and try...

  8. Liquids to thin mucus

    diamondmeadows replied to michael79's topic in General Nursing

    Ignatavicius and Workman's Medical-Surgical Nursing (5th ed., 2006) states: "Adequate hydration may help to thin secretions and make them easier to remove" (p. 637). So this seems to back up what the...

  9. Having hard time hearing...what stethoscope?

    diamondmeadows replied to snewsarah's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Hi Sarah, I have found that I can't really use stethoscopes that have hard plastic earpieces. My stethoscope has soft PVC earpieces, and the sounds are very loud and clear, but with hard plastic ones...

    diamondmeadows replied to HopefulMichelle's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hi Michelle! I took a couple of semesters of prereqs at Calhoun (Huntsville campus), and even though I have since transferred, I can tell you about the Compass test. First of all, don't freak out...

  12. Remedial Math

    diamondmeadows replied to curlysue82's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I just want to say that you shouldn't feel badly about taking remedial math. It was a really good and helpful experience for me. Throughout my entire life I thought I was just naturally bad at math...

  13. CNA Course/Certificate

    diamondmeadows replied to pywacit's topic in Alabama Nursing

    Hello! I am not a CNA, so I have not completed any of these programs, and I don't know much about them. I just know that they are out there and thought I would link you to them in case you didn't know...

  14. Post here if you are done with finals!

    diamondmeadows replied to AmericanChai's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i finished my finals yesterday: a&p 2, finite math, history 1, sociology, and general biology (yeah i know it's weird that i took it after a&p; it's because i transferred.) next semester will...

  15. Question about Whipple Procedure

    diamondmeadows replied to bethin's topic in General Nursing

  18. What do you call the teachers??

    diamondmeadows replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    that's an interesting thought. i have never lived anywhere but the south, so i couldn't say. i wonder if this is in fact something that differs

  19. What do you call the teachers??

    diamondmeadows replied to Iwannabeababynurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    i'm still doing prereqs, so i can't speak for nursing instructors. i've honestly never thought about this before. it just hasn't entered my mind. hopefully my instructors don't feel that i'm being...

  20. Isn't there anyone out there.....?

    diamondmeadows replied to bladensburg,OHrn's topic in General Nursing

    what an excellent idea! i wish something like this had been available at my high school. i didn't discover until years after graduation that i wanted to be a nurse, and i think the reason is largely...

  22. Chaperone or not during exam

    diamondmeadows replied to masstudent's topic in Ob/Gyn

  23. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

    diamondmeadows replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    this is great advice for a lot of reasons. i agree with the part about doing something that "minimizes the number of times you have to touch a resource." i only read my chapter once. i sometimes go...

  24. Anatomy Summer 2006 Club

    diamondmeadows replied to KMDominguez87's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    your studying system is similar to mine, and i have an A in the class so far (even though we have a gigantic test next week, and i am very overwhelmed, so that A might disappear) so this is probably...
