Good point - i too do suffer from chronic depression. I was able to be off medications for 4 months, but unfortunately through no help from my clinical instructor, i am back on Prozac. But i dont recall any question of that nature being on my applica...

Really? You were instructed not to use the VG site? We were encouraged to use that site, and in fact, our book and our instructor told us that is the preferred im site - (the dorsogluteal however, is a different story because of the possibility of st...
Correction to my post - by "dumb" i didnt by any means imply that these safety rules are dumb, they are the basics that should be ingrained in us so we do them without even having to think about it - those are what i am afraid im going to blow becaus...

You all are wonderful - thank you for your replies and support. I will just have to buck up and work harder next semester- i am just indulging in a little pity pary right now and cant see the forest for the trees. I wish you all the best and feel fre...

Ok im am very upset with myself to the point of feeling i should drop out of nursing school. Although my grades are great, i have had a difficult time with my clinical instructor (i wrote about him previously). In short, this man teaches through humi...
