  1. Things you would LOVE to say to your nursing instructors...

    To my present clinical instructor, Vicious, mean, and completely unprofessional is how you treat me - and my eval will reflect these flaws in you. Oh, and BTW? I will become an awesome nurse despite how you are. You're only an adjunct CI. They don't ...
  2. Do Nurses Eat Their Young?

    To Rudy Vee, In regard to some, I keep trying to look for the best, but the worst keeps getting in the way. The only one I have control over is me, and the choices I chose to make determine my own destiny. If someone trys to take over directing my sh...
  3. Hi. My advice is to condense your notes into one 1 1/2" notebook per test. We have 4 tests this semester, so I bought 4 notebooks when I purchased my kids school supplies at the beginning of the semester. We get our notes posted on Blackboard in Powe...
  4. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    It's ironic how some members are so critical of others "spelling / speaking it correctly" while their posts contain several typo's for the rest of us to navigate through. Careful . . . While you're busy pointing out someone's errors, perhaps pause to...
  5. Learn To Say It Correctly!!

    I'm not sure of the ages of the persons making these types of errors, but I've found that as I have advanced in age, these occurences happen to me more often than what I'd like. Perhaps, being on the greater-than side of 35, one's metabolic processes...
  6. Wow

    Besides everything that has been already mentioned, we also had to purchase a lab kit for Nursing Lab = $96 dollars due on the first day of class.
  7. I disagree with with closing the forum just because the situation has been resolved. I've found AllNurses.com to be a place where I can learn from other peoples' experiences, and hopefully avoid also falling prey to that, or a similiar experience. I ...
  8. Food for future clinicals: I always find a fellow NS to cover for my patient while at dinner, check the timing out with my instructor, inform my patient's nurse, and then inform my patient - informing them of the plan and asking if they need anything...
  9. Help with instructor out for my blood! Long

    Horrible, but unfortunetly true. I too, was once the "target" in a clinical rotation. Best wishes on taking your NCLEX. We're all pulling for you. Let us know when you pass so we all can share in your celebration @: )
  10. Do you study over the summer?

    Our NS only uses skills DVD's. Personally, for me, I need a book of N skills in front of me to review, refer back to, highlight, etc., - so I purchased on my own, Elkin / Perry / Potter "Nursing Interventions & Clinical Skills" 4th ed. Mosby/Else...
  11. EKSTATIS posted: "Two words: Tooth Brush!" EEEEEEWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!! I, also, was the recipient of someone who chose to delete this necessary hygiene practice from their morning routine. Their excuse? "I was late to class". My suggestion for next time?...
  12. Failed Basic Math!!!

    NiesyLuv0o I had a very rough 2nd semester also. Half way through I felt like a runner does when they "hit the wall". Wondered if I was going to make it out of it intact, or get bumped out. I also had a 3.97 GPA with a degree I had just earned last y...
  13. The Fixer: School Taught Me Everything I Know

    You did "fix it" for Lucy. She didn't die alone, feeling uncared for. You were her voice, when she was unable to speak. You were her heart, when she was unable to express herself to those she cared for most - connecting them again in her final hours....
  14. Tips For Human Beings Entering Nursing

    Point well taken. There is one girl in my N class who many have dubbed, "annoying", and avoid/make fun of her behind her back. After reading this I've vowed to myself to especially be more pleasant to her. Thanks for a such a fitting reminder.
  15. Candid Conversations With Families

    I'm divided on this issue. You mention that the only times you were a patient was to give birth. As humiliating as that is, as I have had the joy of birthing four - along with the memory of a group of 10-14 pre-med students coming into my room while ...
