  1. How to explain homeostasis

    CuriousMe replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    Homeostasis is the dynamic equilibrium

  2. Hanging dopamine and preventing accidental bolus

    CuriousMe replied to neoicu2684's topic in General Nursing

    I know nothing about NICU, but I'm curious.....Are you using an IV pump, or is it a gravity bag (counting gtt/minute)? I'm confused because I see you mention a roller clamp and a start button.....our...

  3. frustrated

    CuriousMe replied to amymina's topic in General Students

    I couldn't care less who went to class when. This isn't about the value of lectures. The problem is getting someone to sign in for her on a regular basis....essentially lying by saying she was there...

  4. Seriously, why do they come to class?! shut up already!

    CuriousMe replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Have you tried speaking to them out of class or on a break? I'd likely try that before disturbing the whole class by asking them to be quiet

  5. Getting withdrawn because of a pre-req. Dispute?

    CuriousMe replied to m2736185's topic in General Students

    I think we're dancing around terminology, as each program is going to say things somewhat differently (ie we don't have "core courses" just pre-reqs and nursing courses). In my program, if you don't...

  6. Getting withdrawn because of a pre-req. Dispute?

    CuriousMe replied to m2736185's topic in General Students

    As per the OP this was a Pre-req class....so the only thing in the nursing handbook will likely be: Student's can't progress past X point without pre-reqs being completed. But as has been said before,...

  7. Getting withdrawn because of a pre-req. Dispute?

    CuriousMe replied to m2736185's topic in General Students

    There may be more to it than what you're saying....but nothing you've posted indicates a bias of any sort. I can't imagine why whether you passed or not would matter to him one way or another. From...

  8. Cruise SHip RN?

    CuriousMe replied to skinc1's topic in General Nursing

    Not just occupational health, but the medical team is primary care for the crew members....as they live there 6 to 8 months at a time as well....and even small ships have more like 3,000 crew members....

  9. We may need fewer nurses in the hospital...

    CuriousMe replied to Chin up's topic in General Nursing

    Evidently they are in Australia, which is where the poster is

  10. Getting withdrawn because of a pre-req. Dispute?

    CuriousMe replied to m2736185's topic in General Students

    The problem you face is that I don't see any grounds to dispute. If, at the time, you had tried to clarify the assignment with the Prof before it was due, and still felt it was to vague....then...

  11. upset about teacher's clinical evaluation for last semester

    CuriousMe replied to pptnurse's topic in General Students

    I don't think your instructor was concerned about you performing tasks though....if you didn't know how to do the task of using that thermometer and asked instead of giving a wrong temp....likely...

  12. Emetophobia!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    They are learning what they need in their preceptorship and in their new grad

  13. Emetophobia!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    Are you talking about working in the OR as a nurse (as in a scrub nurse or circulating nurse) or are you talking about being an RN First Assist? The new grads I know who were hired in to the OR are...

  14. Emetophobia!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    That's what I was saying about the preceptorship. I have friends who are being hired as new grads in to the OR, but I know that doesn't happen everywhere. So it's going to depend on how the...

  15. Emetophobia!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    Didn't mean to be condescending, sorry you took it that way.....and I have no idea how old you are. I said what I said, because I don't think there are "ways" to overcome this other than just doing it...

  16. upset about teacher's clinical evaluation for last semester

    CuriousMe replied to pptnurse's topic in General Students

    My point though, is that those are big clinical differences....not small mistakes. I'd spend time trying to figure out what I did and then figure out how I'd make sure it didn't happen again. Best of...

  17. upset about teacher's clinical evaluation for last semester

    CuriousMe replied to pptnurse's topic in General Students

    Documenting a wrong temperature and HR isn't a small mistake. If you couldn't hear the HR, how did you get a number at all? If you weren't sure how to use the thermometer, why didn't you

  18. Emetophobia!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    I'm not sure what there is to say other than, no one enjoys dealing with cleaning up feces or vomit....but the person you're caring for needs help...so you do what you need to do. A mask won't cover...

  19. Emetophobia!!!!!

    CuriousMe replied to Francesca_H's topic in Nursing Career

    Didn't you post another thread just like this a day or so ago in this forum and get a bunch of

  20. Seriously, why do they come to class?! shut up already!

    CuriousMe replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    Classroom management is part of teaching, true. But, learning to assert yourself is part of nursing school. Just as when you're working, a manager will expect you to speak with the co-worker in...

  21. Seriously, why do they come to class?! shut up already!

    CuriousMe replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I'd likely actually speak with these students out of class/on a break, before telling a prof you tried to resolve it

  22. Seriously, why do they come to class?! shut up already!

    CuriousMe replied to Certifiable's topic in General Students

    I agree, I'd just change my seat. If they don't want to pay attention, more power to them....I'm going to do what I need to do in order to pay

  23. How to explain homeostasis

    CuriousMe replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I don't know what you mean by

  24. How to explain homeostasis

    CuriousMe replied to Darkpk55's topic in General Students

    I consider patients showing off what they know to be a good thing. It gives them a sense of power in the midst of an event that can often make folks feel powerless, and gives me a good opportunity to...

  25. Grades don't matter! Are you sure??????

    CuriousMe replied to dinah77's topic in General Students

    They don't just take more classes, they get a degree that includes more classes. Even two years of pre-reqs aren't close to equivalent to a bachelors degree that includes the pre-med classes. I'm not...
