  1. 17 teens make pregnancy pact

    runningfool replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Actually, there was no pregnancy pact. The principal lied.

  2. How is MO???

    runningfool replied to mamamia's topic in General Nursing

    I know what I'm about to post isn't going to be popular and it's not a personal comment to you or anyone else, but geez I don't like when people say this! I don't care if people move here and I'm not...

  3. Is there power in the color white?

    runningfool replied to bbfw2's topic in General Nursing

    As casualjim said, I'm not yet qualified to talk about power and problems in nursing, but in my humble opinion I wouldn't say it's power. You're just conforming to how people think you should be or...

  4. Plan B

    runningfool replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    I'm baffled by people who think this would be abused considering plan b makes you cramp and have a period. I don't know any little girls or women who want to be flowing and cramping 24/7! I'm sure...

  5. Plan B

    runningfool replied to pat8585's topic in General Nursing

    A few things here: 1) It seems to me that alot of women who are pro-choice don't have an opinion on what other women should do or not do with their bodies because they want other women to have a...

  6. Male Nurses/female Patients

    runningfool replied to ern91's topic in Men in Nursing

    Many women - not just older women - don't want any man except the one they love and trust (their husband) to see them. As mentioned earlier, many women have religious beliefs about having a male...

  7. Andrea Yates R.N.

    runningfool replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

    http://www.courttv.com/trials/yates/docs/psychiatric1.html I think this is interesting to read, if anyone

  8. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    runningfool replied to walnuttree91's topic in Emergency

    Is it really that weird or confusing that someone who was just violated and brutalized by a man doesn't want to be touched - in the same area- by another one immediately afterwards? And the wrong kind...

  9. Deaconess start in Jan

    runningfool replied to over30nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm repeating what the staff told us today at orientation. It's not a rumor. Like I said, I'll scan the letter for anyone who wants to read it. I'm sure the program will survive too because of the...

  10. Deaconess start in Jan

    runningfool replied to over30nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, I just got back from orientation and there is a chance the online program is going to eliminated due to poor pass rates. They're hopeful that it won't be because of the changes they've made,...

  11. Deaconess start in Jan

    runningfool replied to over30nursestudent's topic in General Nursing

    I'm starting this January. I have to ask you this, have you had any registration

  12. Younger Nurses: Do you find people dont take you seriously? (semi-rant)

    runningfool replied to TexasPediRN's topic in General Nursing

    I say the same thing you do. I, too, feel insulted when someone tells me I look much younger than I am. How would they feel if I asked "Well, how old are you? Really?! You look MUCH older!" They'd be...

  13. Money Hungry Patients

    runningfool replied to OliveVinesRN's topic in General Nursing

    Actually, The McDonalds case isn't as frivolous as the media and general public make it out to be. I said the same thing you did before we discussed this case in my trial and litagation class....

  14. Blood in Urine

    runningfool replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

    Urinary tract infection? I had one a few weeks ago. I didn't see any blood, but my doctor said there was blood in my

  15. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    runningfool replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the advice. I appreciate it. I am really frustrated with him. I gained 20 in the blink of an eye and he didn't seem to think anything was wrong despite the fact that I hadn't stopped...

  16. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    runningfool replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    Oh! That's fantastic! Where did you find this information? I just found an article in the British Journal of Medicine from two years ago stating the new official range was .1 - 3 that I wanted to show...

  17. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    runningfool replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you, Diana! I feel sorry for your child! That must be hard especially at such a young age. I hope he or she is doing well. I'm fine with it right now. I'm feeling a little better and happier...

  18. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    runningfool replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    This won't let me edit my reply. I thought of a better analogy for you. Think of TSH as gravity. The perfect amount of gravity allows you to stand up straight with your feet on the ground (TSH range...

  19. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    runningfool replied to Tiny1Nisolet's topic in General Nursing

    I have Hashimoto's. From what I know .1 - 3 is the range of "normal" levels of TSH. The lower the number the more TSH you're producing. The higher the number the less TSH you're producing. Is that...

  20. moving to KC, MO

    runningfool replied to Auri's topic in General Nursing

    I lived in KC for 4 years. I'm not a nurse yet so I can't tell you the best places to work, but I can tell you all the best places to

  21. ethics of holy water and Islam

    runningfool replied to Carlos Casteneda's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Hi! It's called a Scapular. I don't know if I spelled that correctly. If you die wearing it you're supposed to go straight to heaven. But you don't need it to get into heaven if you die. I just...

  22. My Journey Into Forensics Continues....

    runningfool replied to Haunted's topic in Forensic

    Where is the course being held? SLU or UMSL? SLU's course is very popular and I've heard many people say the coordinator is excellent. She may do both UMSL and SLU, but I don't

  23. What did you do before starting Nursing School?

    runningfool replied to Nathalie's topic in General Nursing

    I graduated from college expecting to go to law school and applied for a job at a local university's law library in order to get free tuition, but the job was filled. Human resources sent my resume to...

  24. Who else is starting Nursing School in January?

    runningfool replied to Nathalie's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting in January. I believe January 6th is the first day of classes. I got my acceptance letter in October and I'm almost finished with all the post-acceptance things I have to do. I took my...
