i once tried to post my opinion on smoking and smokers. mods didnt let it go through. its very extreme which is unusual for me b/c my views are not extremes on either end. but smoking is a WHOLE different ball game
DY, one of my sem friends played MMM often while in sem. she and her roomie were obsessed with MMM and destiny. i think its funnier listening as a teen/adult.
Long version (and more personalized version)
The time has come for use to go
Our own ways, to the unknown
We leave our school to go away,
To a new life, to all new days.
Seminary is but a place to grow
To listen, to take in, and to know
Some may party, some may study
But all are going to have some buddies
We were like one for many years
Shuffles and mixes, moves near and far
We had our group, our circle of friends
But we never thought that this would end
A period of our lives is now at the close
When this happened, no one knows
It came so suddenly we all say
We wish it would not be this way
Please give us a little more time
To gather some gems we may find
Some pearls of Chachma, some diamonds of Binah
We missed out so much, Hashem Yishmor
You’ve helped me with everything, it shows you care
I could not have done this journey without you
How can I ever thank you?
here’s 2 versions of a poem i wrote at the end of HS. the shorter one was to all classmates and was the part of a packet i gave to all classmates that included the names of all the girls in our class grouped by which sem they went to and the address+phone number of each seminary. the second longer one was to my close friends and was included in a gift for that person.
short version:
Can you believe four years are gone?
Our years together are second to none
We did lots together and had much fun
We shared many memories, tons, and tons
A period of our lives is now at the close
When this happened, no one knows
It came so suddenly, we all say
We wish is would not be this way
The time has come for use to go
Our own ways, to the unknown
But all together, we can win,
Stay connected, be close as kin
Attached here is a simple list
Read it once, you’ll get the gist
Keep in touch, once in a while,
my favorite is the man from Vilna on J4. i even remember the first time i heard it-it touched a cord. the way music should i guess. j4 is my fav in terms of vocals and accompaniment but j1-3 is my fav in the way of content.
similar to journeys is a cd called legacy. has anyone else here heard of it?
very funny 2scents. my clinical instructors are scarier than the doctors to me. besides the new thing is “interdisciplinary communication” and n/o should be scared of the other. and fyi, i have spoken to the docs on the floor.
just out of curiosity, why would you think i’m scared of doctors?
if you feel that way, ok. disregard my comment to you. what i meant was, in your list of types of epilepsy, which at the time i thought you were posting about seizures in general, i saw there was no mention of febrile seizures. and thank you SO much for degrading my education. wow you really touched my heart. that was just so kind of you. and thats exactly it! i’m not a doctor. i’m a nursing student so yes. i will admit i have knowledge gaps and thats why i’m in school. to learn. and yes i know there are more than 2 types of seizures. and right now i am learning which posters to answer and which to ignore.
to the OP, health posted a wonderful article from webmd about epileptic seizures. i suggest you read it; its a great overview of epilepsy and different types of seizures as an aside, there is also a type of seizures known as febrile seizures which can be caused by high fevers.
the OP was asking about different types of seizures. yes you had a complete list of types of epilepsy, but s/he was asking about seizures in general. i was only trying to make a suggestion that you may have missed one. sheesh.
girls, just be yourself when you go on your interview. don’t be a faker.
sam, dont get started. the interview is VERY stressful. and i had easy ones compared to the israeli ones
hijacking this thread sorry.
mods, is there a way you can post rules about medical advice? suggestions: saying where the information is from, what capacity you work in the medical field, etc? for ex, on the liq med thread i said in clinicals we did x y z-i’m a student nurse.
health, you missed febrile seizures.
2scents, seizures can cause physical injury-seizure precautions as part of nursing interventions include padded side rails, bed in lowest position. some texts say to keep a mattress on the floor near the bed. plus o2 ready, iv access, suction.
but what your saying about neuro damage is what we learned as well.
addressing the OP:
you posted this at a interesting time. i had just posted about my sem and HS, both in a kinda bad light. but in reality, both are excellent places of education and i have only nice things to say about them. but my personal opinion is they are lacking in one certain area. but thats what it is-an opinion, and a minority one at that. stating an opinion is very different than saying yeshiva x is bad because…. am i correct in that reasoning? can an opinion be considered L”H-like if i say i prefer place A over place B but not give a reason why?
” In fact, contrary to your beliefs, you’ll find that many girls’ (as well as boys’) schools educate their students as to the aspects of both lifestyles. They don’t put down working (it says in the kesuba that it is a man’s responsibility to support his wife, and if it’s not possible for a man to learn full time due to financial or shalom bayis reasons, it is even recommended that he go out to work-I have this on word of a very well-known Rebbitzen)”
chelsealew,i know i’m butting in a little bit but your post brought back some memories. in 12 grade about 6 weeks before graduation, my principal came into the classroom and gave us a nice shmooze on the beauty of living a kollel life, what i “really means” (qoutes on purpose) to live a life for torah. oh and that was the first time we ever had such a shmooze. very sad the way they did that.
in seminary, 1 teacher used to start many topics “IY”H when you are living in Lakewood and your husband is sitting in learning and you don’t have a lot of extra money lying around…” and when i heard those words, i zoned out. i don’t think once the entire year this teacher, a choshuv Rebbetzin, say the words working and husband next to each other. what? you mean girls DON’T want to marry a working boy and they ONLY want learning boys?(SARCASM!!!!!!!) guess what rebbetzin’s, all your preaching didn’t work. i’m looking for a working MAN. not a boy. not a boy who wants to sit in kollel than figure out what to do when he realizes more than 1 salary is needed. in HS and sem there was no mention of both life styles. if you asked me, i might of said your kidding right. maybe where you come from yes they discuss both, but not where i am. i’m am very proud to say i am looking for a working man, who will support his wife. i am a traditionalist. the kasubah says the husband supports his wife.
some other techniques I’ve seen work
-2 or 3 month old baby screaming and needed Tylenol. this was in the ER so the nurse had a thin syringe and placed a small amount in the middle of the babies tongue and the baby automatically swallowed. (1/2 hr later the fever was down and the baby was sleeping)
-for bottle drinkers, place the med in the nipple of the bottle. but it should not be mixed with anything.
I once heard the path for smell and taste are connected. So when a person has a cold’ food doesn’t taste as good. In the hospital during my peds rotation, I would tell children we were doing an experiment. I would have them pinch their nose and drink the medicine and then try would tell me if the medicine tasted the same or they tasted it less. Thy usually said they tasted the medicine less.
i’ll do it. first pt is stable and not acutely having a problem. i would explain that she is not the only pt under my care, other pts need care right now but i will be back as soon as i can
pt 2 is not stable. first step is to maintain a patent Airway (abc’s). suction, ambu-bag, o2, call for help etc.
and what would you do now that i gave my answer?
ya i totally misunderstood. thanx for explaining. i learned it as the initial assessment, including v/s, head to toe, etc. and based on the initial assessment plan a focus/focused assessment(s).
and your right that you can see if a pt is sick or not in that first glance. personally it was easier for me w/ the peds pt’s than it is w/ adults.
cholent guy, Yalili?
six seconds? in a pt w/ RR of 20 and HR of 80 thats 2 breaths and 4 heart beats. how much can you see to say the pt is sick? in 6 sec all i would have done is said Hi to my pt my name is how are you feeling! (and seen all the eqp/lines running) i guess the first assessment as emt/medic is very dif than the first assessment of the nurse. scratch that. i KNOW its very dif (met a few emt’s in school).
thanx 2scents. i need it. esp in that first sweeping assessment. never heard of it as the ‘door know assessment’ though. that a ems term?
hi 2scents. thanx for your answer. i’m learning complex resp diseases this week and i’ll keep those s/s in mind.
i second moishy’s nomination. (and was mevina his reference too 🙂 )
its fun to be different. i was actually one of a few girls in sem who lost weight. i did nothing though. didnt change my diet. only thing i did was walk 10 min each way to sem on sheets of packed ice 🙂 any clevelanders here?
easiest diet? going to seminary for a year
most efficient? did south beach for a bit before nursing school when i still had time to prepare every meal from scratch
most stressful diet? nursing school-no time to eat and stress makes me nauseous so i can’t eat. lost 25 lb and have kept it off.
serious note, dif diets work for dif ppl. some need points to keep track, others can count carbs and others can plan full meals 3x a day to fulfill diet requirements. as long as you burn more calories than you are taking in-in correct percentages and amounts, then weight should be lost. exercising helps too to spend more calories. if a diet requires starvation, dont do it. the body will save every calorie that comes in and you wont lose weight. dieting is personal and what works for x wont work for y. sometimes it takes a few tries for success
onomatopoeia
Home page comes up perfectly but when I try to log in I get the message to switch browsers to ie or FF. Its ok. It could be worse. Like only working in ie on every second wednesday at 11:30 pm. Thank gosh for FF
Oh gosh don’t talk to me about nasal flaring (or grunting). Thats all I heard about for like 25% of my semester. Thanx for the answer though. That’s really interesting. We learned accessory muscles to be the supra and subcostals, and intercostal retractions for respiratory distress. Do adults have nasal flaring too or just neonates/NB’s?
(sorry if I ask too many q’s. I s//t’a do that)
Hhhhmmm. Thought silverlight was the issue cuz the site doesn’t work unless it’s the newest version of silverlight in FF. so what do saphari and chrome have in common that the site doesnt work? The site is atitesting.com and the biggest pain around. I can get the home screen in saphari and chrome but logging in it tells me to go to ie or FF.
My Dell is not a Mac.
Chrome beats e/t hands down over IE, FF, and saphari. I have all 4 on my laptop and use chrome 99% of the time. The only downside to chrome is it does not have Microsoft silverlight. So I use FF instead for that site.
CAD, just out of curiosity, what is the significance of the A/P dilator naris? what do they do? Wikipedia doesn’t say
first of all, DISCLAIMER. I AM NOT A DOCTOR.
second of all, i would say go to a doctor/dermatologist so he can look at it and tell you if it’s really infected, or if it just irritation from the metal. it could just be a nickel allergy. if you do feel the need to wear earrings, wear gold earrings. but i suggest very strongly to have a doctor look at it.
i saw that. sad he disappeared again 🙁
in NJ snow chains are legal nov 15-april 1. never saw a single person w/ them…..
i do the same thing as yoya. fake earrings irritate my ears if i wear them longer than i guess 15-18 hours. solution? i put them in in the morning and take them out at night. next morning they are fine and i wear fake again. only when my lobes itch more than usual do i put gold in.
according to my book, the pancreatic duct and the bile duct meet at the major duodenal papilla. to quote the text “the bile duct… and the pancreatic duct… unite at the wall of the duodenum via the volcano shaped major duodenal papilla.” the diagram shows them as 2 dif pipes that meet at one place
smallest muscle of ventilation, ie of the resp system, i’m thinking either the trachealis muscle or the intercostals?. e/t in the larynx (all small stuff) is cartilage so those are disqualified
isn’t one of the theories that the appendix holds stores of normal intestinal flora/microbiota so it can be replenished if the normal flora of the intestines is wiped out? (ie after abx?)
sesemoid bones. the patella in the knee and the hyoid bone in the throat
purjinke fibers, not cells
i hear but you didn’t answer my other q
what are the 2 of you studying in that you know all this?
(and even i knew glycolosis and glyconeogenesis are 2 dif things)
