    CuriousMe replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Well then I guess the rest of us will be actually working to care for folks till they figure out what they want to

  2. NY Nurses to Rally Against Mandatory H1N1 Vaccinations

    CuriousMe replied to amy0123's topic in Disaster Preparation

    At a guess, most would get the vaccine and go on about the business of being a health care

  3. Abusive and Cruel Clinical Instructors: Why??

    CuriousMe replied to sallber's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry you've had such a terrible experience! I guess I just want you to know it's not like that everywhere....my instructors (both theory and clinical) couldn't be more supportive...really,...

  4. Are nurses going to be force to take the N1H1

    CuriousMe replied to Holly.G's topic in General Students

    For you now, it depends on what your school/clinical placement requires....once you work for a hospital or clinic, it will depend on the policy of the hospital or clinic. There's not a set rule...

  5. Most useful Pre-reqs

    CuriousMe replied to acubed's topic in General Students

    Hmmm...now that I think about it, I'm guessing you don't have an A&P 3 because you're on semesters? My school (both where I did my pre-reqs and the university where I attend nursing school) are...

  6. guilty mom

    CuriousMe replied to kristak's topic in General Students

    So, all I have is a textbook answer....what you're feeling is called role conflict. You feel like you're not fulfilling either role....it's a nasty trap. I think the only way around it is to...

  7. Most useful Pre-reqs

    CuriousMe replied to acubed's topic in General Students

    You could force yourself? :-) I have a friend who's minoring in Spanish.

  8. Most useful Pre-reqs

    CuriousMe replied to acubed's topic in General Students

    My school required all three A&P's, micro was a co-requisite. The only chem required was a pre-req for A&P, not a required course for the program. Is A&P 3 not required at all, or is it...

  9. Nursing Orders

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    And we're saying we haven't heard that term I know about nursing diagnosis's and nursing interventions.....I haven't been ever heard or have been asked about a "nursing order." Maybe you could give...

  10. Nursing Orders

    CuriousMe replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    Do you mean a nursing diagnosis and then nursing interventions to address the

  11. Washington Redskins Cheerleader Suffers Dystonia From Flu Shot

    CuriousMe replied to musiklover's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Of course that doesn't diminish the feelings of grief if a loved one is injured because of a vaccine. But I think that Student_4_life was saying that without vaccines far more would have...

  12. Washington Redskins Cheerleader Suffers Dystonia From Flu Shot

    CuriousMe replied to musiklover's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Anecdotes are always fun to hear and why wouldn't they be "allowed?" They're not evidence of course, but they're fun. I'd love some link to studies if you have them.

  13. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

    CuriousMe replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

    I agree about the engraving! I went with maroon for my Littman :-) I wanted orange actually.....but the model I wanted didn't come in

  14. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    CuriousMe replied to Blessedx3's topic in Disaster Preparation

    A good question. However, in my case I would get vaccinated, but not because of work....if I was going to be working clinically over the next few months and not be vaccinated, I wouldn't work. I...

  15. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

    CuriousMe replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

    I avoided recommending the pink only because, it seems most of my L&D friends have pink steths....thought it would be harder to track a pink steth in L&D. I still say seafoam for...

  16. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    CuriousMe replied to Blessedx3's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Two points: No, the dialysis patients, are the patients, they don't have to get vaccinated to protect the health care professionals, they have no responsibility to protect you, that's completely...

  17. Son wants to be a CRNA, but wants his ears guaged

    CuriousMe replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    In spite of now living in a pretty laid back part of the country, my nursing school requires all tats and piercings to be covered or otherwise not visible. I've seen the flesh colored...

  18. Son wants to be a CRNA, but wants his ears guaged

    CuriousMe replied to topher-67's topic in General Nursing

    I've worked at places with dress codes where we couldn't have locs or braids (they were mentioned specifically). It happens... just depends on what area of the country you're in. There are different...

  19. Stethoscope colors...HELP!

    CuriousMe replied to oguesswhat's topic in General Nursing

    I think seafoam green, it will be a nice contrast to your scrubs without being to

    Geez, I see plenty of fear mongering right in this thread. No need to look back to

  21. Things you need to know about Drexel

    CuriousMe replied to curlyhair's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's uncommon. Not only does my school do this.....but all the ones in the area do. There's a very long, drawn out thread about this....it was this week, it shouldn't be hard to

  22. Mandatory Flu Shots

    CuriousMe replied to Ghostmedic's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I don't have numbers, and wasn't there in previous years....but the RN's I was speaking with said they've never seen so many folks(many, admitted because they were very ill...high temps, resp...

  23. First Semester Clinicals--anyone else need to vent?

    CuriousMe replied to ZenStudent's topic in General Students

    I'm in my second year of clinicals, and it gets better! Which unfortunately doesn't mean you necessarily stop feeling like an idiot....cause as they increase your responsibilities at...

  24. Fighting mandate regarding flu vaccines

    CuriousMe replied to Blessedx3's topic in Disaster Preparation

    CuriousMe replied to Ghostmedic's topic in Disaster Preparation

    The high school in my town is considering closing for a couple days....they currently have about 250 kids out with the flu in a school of roughly 600 kids. The hospital where I'm in clinicals, is...
