  1. 17 teens make pregnancy pact

    Actually, there was no pregnancy pact. The principal lied. http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=5227335&page=1
  2. How is MO???

    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 telling anyone to not move here because this is a ...
  3. Is there power in the color white?

    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 look and it makes them more comfortable to have you ...
  4. Plan B

    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 there could be a very, very, very small minority of e...
  5. Plan B

    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 choice even if it's a choice they wouldn't make for t...
  6. Male Nurses/female Patients

    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 doctor or nurse. And lets not forget that 1 in 4 women ...
  7. Andrea Yates R.N.

    http://www.courttv.com/trials/yates/docs/psychiatric1.html I think this is interesting to read, if anyone cares.
  8. Help!! I need free nursing journal articles

    I don't know if you're in school or of you work for a hospital, but most hospitals have small libraries in them for the doctors and nurses. If you're still in school, try your school library. If you're not affiliated with any libraries (school or hos...
  9. Male RN-assist with pelvic exams?

    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 of touch could make things worse for her emotiona...
  10. Deaconess start in Jan

    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 changes they made, but they did want us to know there...
  11. Deaconess start in Jan

    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, but they won't really find out until after the he...
  12. Deaconess start in Jan

    I'm starting this January. I have to ask you this, have you had any registration problems?
  13. 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 so insulted and yet I'm supposed to take it as a ...
  14. Money Hungry Patients

    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. McDonalds had a policy to heat their coffee to a scalding...
  15. Blood in Urine

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

    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 exercising and didn't change my eating habits. The we...
  17. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    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 my doctor because the lab ranges he uses list 4.6...
  18. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    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 this month because I'm finally starting to lose the...
  19. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    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 of .1 -3). If the gravitational pull (TSH secreti...
  20. pls explain..hypothyroid how can you have..

    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 clear? Think of it this way..... When the thyroid s...
  21. moving to KC, MO

    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 eat.
  22. ethics of holy water and Islam

    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 thought I'd clarify that. Annie
  23. My Journey Into Forensics Continues....

    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 remember.
  24. What did you do before starting Nursing School?

    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 the medical school library and they hired me. I'v...
  25. Who else is starting Nursing School in January?

    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 placement test today, took my CPR classes last Wedne...
