  1. Quit my first nursing home after 1 day!

    I felt this way about my current job. Organizational issues make me want to drive off a cliff and I am very thorough like you are. I'm going to take a moment to vent like you. I love my job but it honestly drives me to drink some days/weeks. Some of...
  2. First time a patient didn't like me

    I haven't had that yet, other than the helpful bit about it being unhelpful to reorient alzheimers patients, I thought that you did a good job and was in awe of your composure in a difficult case. I totally understand that you would take it personall...
  3. First Day of Clinicals....Disaster

    I am sorry you had a rotten experience. Things will get better. You learned some valuable lessons today and you will not make those mistakes again :). I think your instructor was a bit harsh. She sounds like the "lay down the law type". Unfortunately...
  4. Unsettling experience

    I really have no idea why they would be doing this to you. Just play it safe for your last 3 weeks. You can consider bringing it to HR, but things can get a little messy. Make sure you DOCUMENT EVERYTHING. Best of luck and I'm sorry about this happe...
  5. SIDS Pediatric Code

    You did a good job, and you were a kind and caring soul during the most difficult time in a families life. Your story and your compassion brought me to tears, and I thank you for sharing it. You are and will be an excellent nurse.
  6. Failed not sure what to do next

    Good for you two. You are not the only ones either, there are multiple readmits in my program. You will make it- just keep your head up. In regards to helping you learn Toiya, I have an iPhone and sometimes it helped me to tape the lectures. I am au...
  7. 1. Stop being a !@#$% for no reason. 2. How dare you give a student 100 % on participation when he showed up for 3 classes and myself 65% when I only missed 3 classes. Thanks for giving these same students 93 percent for spending 1 hour on their assi...
  8. 1) I am with the noisy kids in the back. (embarassed) But I have to say, do not give us dirty looks and 'shhh' when we whisper. Then turn around and chat your friends up and giggle as loudly as possible. At least we sit in the back of the class and t...
  9. Nursing classmate with add

    I can't really comment on if that is related to her ADD but I wouldn't pay much mind to it and treat it like a personal quirk.
  10. Failed not sure what to do next

    Hello, I am also a practical nursing student in my first semester. I wanted to say that I am sorry and I have nearly been in your shoes before. I cried and cried for days and it was an awful experience. There is a girl in my program who has also been...
  11. Hello Phil. Our situations vary a bit but I just wanted to say that I too had some challenges that prevented me from succeeding in school. However after having a similar revelation I turned my life around. I have never completed highschool, but I di...
  12. Interesting how you answered about the OR. I spoke to a nursing student last year and she told me that also was her favourite rotation when she got to scrub in on an open heart surgery. It was so fascinating when she told me, she was so clearly enamo...
  13. Pre health science/prenursing

    I am almost certain that fanshawe/western bscn collaborative program only accepts prehealth from fanshawe. It does make sense that i can hold on to my course outlines and will now certainly do thanks to your advice :). Just keep in mind that there is...
  14. If you don't want to it's entirely to your discretion. To clarify for others I am not asking for ID numbers (not that I know what that is, and would not ask even in person!) I am in the middle of establishing contact with another nurse, and will prob...
  15. Pre health science/prenursing

    Hey, I am a pre health sciences student at fanshawe college. I know you have some answers already but I just wanted to contribute that I have spoken to nursing students who say that the sciences greatly helped them in first year nursing.. Pre healt...
