   First clinical nightmare

   broughden replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in General Students

   Yeah I didnt see their post about not knowing the rights of med administration until after I had already posted. While not knowing a full assessment makes sense (at least compared to my own program) not knowing the 6 rights of med administration by ...

   First clinical nightmare

   broughden replied to Flylik3abr1's topic in General Students

   Our school is set up similarly. We learn our assessment system by system, we arent cleared for a full assessment until the end of the first semester. As for your clinical instructor, I would discuss what happened with your lecture professor. Clinic...

   Blew a vein during clinical

   broughden replied to KitKat2019's topic in General Students

   This is going to happen. A lot! Dont sweat it. My gosh when I was still in the army and we were learning to give IVs we practiced on each other. By the end of the week, we looked like a support group for hemophiliac intravenous drug users. Frankly t...

   about to fail nursing clinical

   broughden replied to nursinggirligirl's topic in General Students

   We dont have a lot of info to go on. Are you in a ADN or BSN program? Are you in a public or for profit program? At our school clinicals are attached to a specific lecture course. While we have clinical instructors, they are generally not actual me...

   Any RNs considering medical school?

   broughden replied to Jstimmm's topic in General Students

   For someone who keeps touting their intelligence I find it remarkable that you neither know how to use the quote button, nor type in grammatically correct paragraphs.

   Friend is sending FB requests to all ICU/ER nurses

   broughden replied to NurseSince2014's topic in General Nursing

   That they need to seek professional counseling, as this is a spectacularly bad idea and as you said they seem to be obsessed with it which can be unhealthy to this degree.

   talking to the cops about my patient

   broughden replied to LibraNurse27's topic in General Nursing

   As a former cop whose been in lots of hospitals I can state, your facility should have a written policy for this.

   Credentials question

   broughden replied to pmabraham's topic in General Nursing

   I dont know what the nursing "culture" is but I agree with this. Nursing is a second career for me. However, the practice of listing your degree behind your name is generally tied to a career where you are licensed and the degree is part of that lic...

    Enablement Overload

    broughden replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Normally I'd agree with you but the amount of whining in this thread by professionals who are supposed to care for and protect the some of the most vulnerable of our population, calling children who are 5, 6 or 7 years old "entitled" or "snowflakes."...

    Enablement Overload

    broughden replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Oh I sincerely apologize that I wasnt here checking everyday for your reply in order to answer. I am a BSN student and abuse survivor. Oh yes thank you so much for correcting me on mistakenly advocating for abused children, so that you can rant a...

    I would really love....

    broughden replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    If you parent your child based on information from Facebook posts, you should be stripped of your parental rights and be denied the ability to bear more offspring. We need to stop the stupid people from breeding and raising more just like themselves...

    Allegation of Neglect

    broughden replied to jaortiz20's topic in LPN/LVN

    So because they told you they had a camera, you admitted to something you know you didnt do? With 12 years of experience on the job? Either you arent being honest or you have a spectacularly bad decision.

    Allegation of Neglect

    broughden replied to jaortiz20's topic in LPN/LVN

    Im not buying that. That is the single most boneheaded excuse Ive ever heard.

    Enablement Overload

    broughden replied to Jedrnurse's topic in School

    Ever consider its an abused or beaten or bullied child using the easiest excuse they can think of to come to what they perceive as a safe place with someone who wont judge them and is supposed to care? These arent small adults who throw tantrums over...
