   litenbug posted a topic in Uniform/Gear

   I think I am going to go broke buying Stehoscopes. On my last clinical rotation, I had to care for someone who was on a contact precaution. It was mandatory to don PPE before I stepped into the room and my instructor guided me on the protocol ie: t...

   Use the hospital toothbrush and soap.

3. No cellphone policy at work? What about PDAs?

   litenbug replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

   It was mandatory that the students in my program get a PDA. Mostly everyone got the Itouch. It is very useful. I think the hospitals wants you just to be professional in reference to the cell phones. They dont want to see you talking on the phone ...

4. Nursing student giving me the creeps.

   litenbug replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in Relations

   TreehuggerRN: You and these men. What is going on? He may be a nice guy and he may be roughneck, but I would have overlooked all of that and checked him on his professionalism. Don't shy away of what you are working with, everybody has a purpose, m...

6. Caught in the web of a workplace romance.

   litenbug replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

   TreehuggerRN: You need a side activity to: 1) get your mind off of this silver fox in the work place and 2) learn to deal with ur marriage. There is alot that is built on 15 years of marriage. That is a long hard battle and alot of time used puttin...

7. Caught in the web of a workplace romance.

   litenbug replied to TreehuggerRN's topic in General Nursing

   You have to decide what is it that you really want. I don't think its wise to get a divorce unless your marriage is just that terrible. I say work on your marriage but I also think you do need a friend (that is outside of your work place) to serve a...

   Zele, I just want the BEST for you and anyone (myself included) that works hard to be on their "A Game" in Nursing School so that the experience can be transformed into producing better Nurses. You will do well, stay focus, and don't give up, YOU'VE...

9. Hi everyone, new nursing student here..just a few questions

   litenbug replied to hudsonsmommy's topic in General Students

   Its good to get everything over with but don't overload yourself because if you mess up in your Nursing classes everything else is out the window. If I were you I would take a PE class only because I wouldn't want to get off course with my Nursing ...

11. instructor problem

    litenbug replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Students

    I have communicated effectively and would never intentionally insult anyone. I wish everyone the best, but the fact of the matter is if we as students dont take the Instructors interactions and turn it into the betterment for ourselves, we would no...

12. instructor problem

    litenbug replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Students

    I am one of those "A" students who have learned to put a "H" on my chest and Handle It. I have had terrible and cruel instructors but I know that in this profession you are going to encounter so many different people (GOOD AND bAD) and its imperativ...

13. instructor problem

    litenbug replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Students

    Zele, I am not angry nor did I insult you. The point that I am attempting to get across to you is to learn to use a setback as a stepping stone for advancement. LEARN to take an unfortunate situation and turn it into a positive attribute for YOURSELF...

    litenbug replied to MaleNurse25's topic in Student Assist

    I didnt read your entire post cause it made me dizzy, however just looking at the first question is telling me your problem. You have to think by applying and not by memory. I dont know what theory you are following in your program but the first thi...

    litenbug replied to hudsonsmommy's topic in General Students

    Wow, What school accepted you?, I had to take A/P II before I could apply to my program. Stats is not hard, but considering what you are taking, I would take a PE class as well. You are going to need it :specs:to release the stressors of those clas...
