4. Clinicals Start this week!

   PowerPuffGirl posted a topic in General Students

   We've spent the past 6 weeks working on basic nursing skills (vitals, wheelchair-bed-chair transfers, ambulation, dangling, bed baths, peri care, enemas, bedpans, I&O's, etc). I finished the theory part of class with a 95. And now it's time to...

5. The dreaded panty line.......

   PowerPuffGirl replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

   I've had luck with wearing 'skintoned' underwear (a pale, pale pink, in my case), and getting my pants a size too large, so they're not too fitted. I have a friend who used weak tea to dye her white undies to a skintone color - haven't tried it, bu...

11. When will you remove your fake nails?

    PowerPuffGirl replied to nursebucky's topic in General Students

    I had mine removed about 3 months before classes began, so that my nails had time to grow out any damage. And let me tell you, I miss 'em!

12. Whose Doc Gives Student Physical for Admission?

    PowerPuffGirl replied to RN2007's topic in General Nursing

    I'm surprised to hear that you don't need a physical for nursing school in Australia. At my school, they have to be kept current every year, yearly PPD or chest x-ray for PPD. Plus proof of immunizations/titres, documentation of any meds we're ta...

13. What questions where you asked?

    PowerPuffGirl replied to rebel_red's topic in General Nursing

    I was asked why I wanted to be a nurse, what my future career plans were, and how I felt my background had prepared me to be successful in the program. As far as answering why you want to be a nurse- be careful you don't sound like you're channeli...

    PowerPuffGirl replied to kids's topic in General Nursing
