3. Possible ethical question about Clinical experience...

   Studying24.7 replied to Studying24.7's topic in General Students

   As a follow up, I did tell my CI and she said she felt it was unacceptable behavior on the part of the nurse. She did say the nurse quite possibly had some personal issues she was dealing with but should have dealt with it in a different manner. M...

4. Possible ethical question about Clinical experience...

   Studying24.7 replied to Studying24.7's topic in General Students

   I don't see it exactly as "going behind her back" and I would definitely not want her to be terminated. In naive-student-world, I expected a high caliber of patient care in the MICU. I was thinking more about the patient than about the nurse; But I...

5. Possible ethical question about Clinical experience...

   I was doing a clinical on the Medical ICU unit and the RN that I was working with was CONSTANTLY text messaging instead of caring for her pt. She didn't start doing anything for him until about 10:30 and she came on at 7:00. What (if anything) shoul...

6. Should I quit nursing school

   Studying24.7 replied to MilwaukeeRNstu's topic in General Students

   Nursing school is definitely not fun- and it's not meant to be. Before you consider quitting, I would give it another semester. You said you worked so hard for to get through your pre-reqs so don't throw all that away just because it's tough right ...

10. Houston Community College ADN program 2010

    Studying24.7 replied to marycherry's topic in Texas

    I'm in the HCC ADN program now and my best is advice for anyone asking about HCCS is to go directly to the campus and talk to someone in person. They aren't the most organized and tend to forget to respond to emails....

11. associates or bsn?

    Studying24.7 replied to mandile's topic in Texas

    I don't know that the pay difference is all that much, but it seems like it is easier for a BSN to find a job vs an ADN...at least that is what I am being told by nurses in the field.

12. Having a hard time finding a job

    Studying24.7 replied to Bella RN's topic in Texas

    This is so discouraging... I've started applying for jobs (I am scheduled to graduate in May 2010) and everyone has told me that nursing positions are "very tight'. A fellow nursing student told me that there were 800 applicants for only a few posit...
