  8. Millionaires on nursing salaries

  9. Name that part. Words patients use for their own anatomy.

    jenn_rn_nj replied to JEHORAPHA's topic in General Nursing

    I work in a peds ED and the parents have to fill out a slip with the complaint - the most common anatomical mis-reference I've seen is: Virginia = lady parts, eg. "pain in virginia". We get a ton...

    Hey Tweety - you are in the home stretch with school, then - congrats! I hope you have a good workday. I was a bum yesterday - it was raining out and instead of doing the ellipse, I chose to be an...

  21. How about a thread for baby names you liked?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I work in a pediatric ED and one name that I see very often and have come to like is Imani. I don't know why, I just like it - not a name I'd choose, though if I ever had a child. I like more...

  22. Healthier Living Support - Part III

    jenn_rn_nj replied to Tweety's topic in Health, Stress Management

    I went for a run today and whew, was I beat! It's amazing - the older I get the less I can just get back in there and go run after spending all semester on the ellipse. I find I really have to work...

  23. Which is harder A&PI or A&PII?

    jenn_rn_nj replied to taniasjijo's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think it depends on what type of learner you are. I found A&P I to be more memorization and very little physiology. A&P II was much more physiology which, to me, is easier to learn since...
