   Nightbloom replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

   I did go back to clinicals the next day. The pt taped a note written in big writing stating that the pt would not be taking any more nursing students. My classmates didn't understand why she made me go home either, but they were glad to see me. ...

2. My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

   Nightbloom replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

   The original pt I was assigned to wasn't in his room so the instructor assigned me another pt late in the morning. This put me behind and threw me off. I guess I felt overwhelmed by the fact that as soon as I changed the pt he would have liquid diar...

   Nightbloom posted a topic in General Students

   I was taking care of a patient who had liquid diarrhea. I was not able to get to my med pass because of this. The patient's family was complaining about everything. I was getting no feedback from my instructor until she decided to make me go home....

   Welcome Crazyframes! I have found that I am losing weight faster now because I feel I am accountable moreso than doing it without everyone here. Lost 1 pound this week. Down 15 pounds total so far. I will probably gain it back this weekend since ...

9. Any current/former nursing students have unsupportive families?

   Nightbloom replied to crazyco's topic in General Nursing

   My parents couldn't afford to send me to school. Look at it from their perspective, maybe your parents can't afford it or they never went to college so they don't see the value in it. I got loans to get through school the first time around, but be...

10. with bully/harrassement

    Nightbloom replied to houstonlvn's topic in General Nursing

    I have worked with people like this also, just in a different field. Personally I would be doing a lot of documentation to CYA. However, I would also be looking for another job. This person has been there longer. The administrators have probably ...

11. Trying to research if this baby death actually happened...

    Nightbloom replied to justme1972's topic in General Nursing

    I would have gotten fired because I couldn't have sat there. I probably would have screamed out and grabbed the doctor... all of which may get me a jail sentence for battery. I do wish I hadn't read this threat though.

    Fuucan, That's a loaded question for me today. My husband and I got in this horrible fight yesterday (mother's day of all days)... it happens every year because he hates his mother so he takes it out on me. I'm getting very tired of it. On the up...

    Hang in there Tracylvn! It can be very frustrating with all the stress, work, kids (if you have them), husband (if you have 1)... life in general. Just remember its like school is 1 class at a time and you get there. Well, 1 lb at a time and you ...

    Congrats to all who got in!!! Yay!!! I'm so happy for you. I just got on the scale and lost 5 pounds this week! Looks like I wasn't following the points like I should have been before. I kept on gaining and losing the same 2 pounds, which was ver...
