1. RN's rarely scrub??

   Deliasgone replied to beachbum3's topic in Operating Room

   If they are eliminating RN scrub, how will you be able to become a first assist? I thought you had to have multiple years of both circulating and scrub experience to become a RN first assist. Will that be a thing of the past, too?

2. She want to be #1 again...

   Deliasgone replied to fathernurse2b's topic in General Students

   I can relate to you. During semester our marriage pretty much gets put on hold because I am in school in the mornings and he works 2-11 as a chef. What my husband and I do to keep it together is work out together three mornings a week....no excepti...

3. Questions for Nursing Students

   Deliasgone replied to scribblerpnp's topic in General Students

   1. What have your clinical instructors done to enhance your learning during clinicals? Especially clinicals that didn't offer much in the way of practicing skills ( such as low chance for IV's, dressings, etc). I can say that I've had pretty boring c...

4. I failed :(

   Deliasgone replied to Deliasgone's topic in General Students

   I was having anxiety issues all semester and I kept putting therapy off b/c of a previous bad experience w/a therapist. I guess it all kept building up and I finally snapped at the end. The last week of lecture I blacked out in class b/c it got so ...

5. I failed :(

   Deliasgone replied to Deliasgone's topic in General Students

   Everybody, Thanks so much for your hugs and encouragement. I went and spoke to my dept. head this morning and she is pretty sure that I can get back in next semester (as long as they can find the faculty ) I was feeling pretty down yesterday but I...

6. I failed :(

   Deliasgone posted a topic in General Students

   I am so upset right now. I made a "D" in Med/Surg I. I got my final grade early this morning and I was unable to go to the school to talk to my advisor to see what to do now. The thing that really gets me was that I thought I was going to be okay....

7. Curious what your school would do?

   Deliasgone replied to colleennurse's topic in General Students

   If it still matters... The student would have been told to leave the floor immediately and booted out of the college. Not so much for the med error...that would have been a nasty lecture, conferences, additional lessons, a write-up, the possibility ...

8. Selfish family?Student Mothers please read!

   Deliasgone replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

   In response to the "mom has to be there 100% of the time" posts: Who on earth does that? Even the super SAHM get a break of some kind. Nobody and I mean nobody can be there for their children 100% of the time. No breaks. It's just plain unhealthy...

9. Selfish family?Student Mothers please read!

   Deliasgone replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

   How exactly is going to school equating with not wanting to be a mother? And where exactly is the job description of a mother? Does it mean that you are with your children 24/7 to cater to their every whim while negleting yourself (because that's j...

10. Selfish family?Student Mothers please read!

    Deliasgone replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    I've been concerned about the same thing. I mean, come on here, last I heard parenting was a two way responsibility. How come he isn't being blasted for shirking his parenting duties by getting out of the house and doing something for himself (work...

11. Selfish family?Student Mothers please read!

    Deliasgone replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    Give her whatever emotional support she needs since she isn't going to get it from her family for now. The resistance from her family may just be related to the change and hopefully they will get used to it, but in the meantime, support her. What s...

12. "Nurses are not professionals"

    Deliasgone replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Nursing

    I have been thinking the same thing. And have you also noticed that when someone's life gets saved on other random shows, it's always a Dr. doing the saving. Never a nurse or EMT. I say we need to come up with a good primetime quality TV show idea...

13. How do you learn to give injections?

    Deliasgone replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Students

    "At my school we praticed on eachother in lab." -What did you inject each other with? At my school we practiced on oranges.

14. Bio 122 and 221 in same semester

    Deliasgone replied to Bhmars's topic in General Students

    It has been done but it is VERY difficult. You will have to look at other factors such as your courseload and your own abilities. How many hours are you taking other than the two science courses? What else do you have going on in your life? Do yo...

    Deliasgone replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a proud mother of a 4 yo boy with autism. I can totally relate to all the stares from the neighbors, fellow shoppers, even family. Fortunately, they have tried to learn more (some are more zealous than ...
