J9, it's hard to believe that it's almost here. I've seen your countdown signature for what seems like forever, and it's finally at the point were you're counting down in days, not weeks, or even months.
Congrats, you're going to be an excellent RN.

Thank you all for the countdown. I had it down to hours Thursday night, LOL, but gave up on that... too much math.
The day I started here at AMHD I was not even accepted into nursing school yet. I was still busy doing my prerequisites. Then I celebrated my acceptance letter with you all, now I am almost the real deal. Hard to believe it's been over 2 years!
Again, thank you all for your support and kindness, it's been more appreciated than you all will ever know.

I agree that you will make an excellent nurse. You have a very sharp eye and a caring heart. In my opinion 2 very good things to have when becoming a great nurse. I believe that you will be a important bridge between the patient and the doctor. All doctors and more importantly patients need a nurse with those qualities. I know that you will help save many lives and bring much comfort to people that need you. Your patients will benefit from all of your talents as wife, mother, student and member of AMHD, your skills have been perfected. Good luck j9, you have my best wishes.

APPLIED TECHNIQUES FOR THE ADMINISTRATION OF ENEMAS
Enemas have been used for centuries, but enema technique has evolved through trial and error rather than systematic research. Enema administration is a basic nursing skill; it is the nurse who usually recognizes when an enema is needed and requests a doctor`s order , then gives or delegates giving the enema, and finally evaluates the enema`s effectiveness and how well patient tolerated it. Hence, nurses need to know the best way to give enemas.
After fourteen years in an Endoscopy unit, some practical experience grants me right to give some information about optimal enema techniques, safety and invalid comparisons of enemas with other methods of colon cleansing.
J_9
Mar 31, 2008, 06:50 PM
Ah, nurses give very few enemas these days. Especially in Labor & Delivery where I'll be working for the next 2 years till I start pushing the REAL drugs.

Does anyone know how to add more hours to the day? More days to the week? Weeks to the month? Can I sleep through this next month and someone wake me the morning of the Pinning Ceremony?
Too much drama at school about the ceremony. Too many cackling hens in the class who can't agree to anything.
Oh, but hey, we booked the church where the ceremony is to take place, booked it about 2 months ago. Gave them our head count and everything...
Find out today they only seat 325 people... WE HAVE 450 COMING!!
Decorations? What are decorations? Oh, yeah, one gal said we can use table cloths on 5 tables, leave one unclothed, cloth 5 more, leave another unclothed. Where in the hell am I graduating from, Podunk University??

Ughh, I'm frustrated. I'm trying to make my own invitations so I can send to my online friends, but can't find any I can do for free. My clip art sucks to say the least.
I just can't seem to find the right border.

Nah, I tried that. I got it in Word, but can't changing the wording on the invite.
J not sure if this will work for you or not. In Microsoft word, if you open a document, hit "file"... then click on " new" over to your right should pop up the ability to click on templates. One is for "invitations" Did you try that?
Sooooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of you and love you just as much.

I got a 90% Woo Hoo. Sorry, would have posted it sooner, but had a TON of phone calls coming in. LOL
I only need a 74.2% on the final. Easy Breezy!!
The party is May 3 at my house. That gives me one day off before the REAL graduation (which I don't really want to go to anyway)... So, going hungover would be no big deal. LOL

You did good CBW, but Kimmie is a little darker skinned. LOL Alty, I love the kitty, if I had a cat I'd make sure it smiles just like that.
Now, took the exam today that gives us our chances of passing the state board of licensure exam (NCLEX) the first time we take it... yes you can take the boards over and over...
Well, I wish I could do this on every freaking test... I got a 95% chance of passing the boards the first time I take them. Damm, if all tests were computer tests I'd ACE school.. I HATE the paper tests.

Got to clean the house, pick mom up at the airport, and study study study. Not enough time in the day.
Finals are tomorrow. I have to make a 74.6% to keep an 80% average to pass. It's been a very tough semester.
Keep me in your thoughts and prayers these next two days. I will find out tomorrow around 5:00pm if I passed or not.
