2. Stop being so miserable

   chasemelony replied to mkhoaja's topic in Safety

   Love the humor after everyone is getting so serious about what a nursing student posted. It's not that serious people! One of the many ways a nurse is able to be a nurse is if she shadows a nurse while in nursing school. So all the nurses that hat...

   Congrats on being accepted :anpom: I love their program. It's challenging but if you put the time and effort into studying, you will be fine. The Professors are very nice and understanding. They are always available to help if you have any problems.

   chasemelony replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

   I was the same way before I started my nursing career. I became a CNA at the age of 17, so before I started nursing school, which im currently in now, I got use to all of that. At first it is nasty and unbearable but in the back of my mind I knew tha...

   Hello to all, I am currently in nursing school. I don't know which department will interest me just yet, but I would like to hear the experiences that some of you nurses have had in departments that you like and/or dislike and why. Or stories you've ...

9. What are the pre-nursing classes like?

   chasemelony replied to TCLA's topic in General Nursing

   Out of the pre-reqs, chemistry & micro-bio. So far the actual nursing program isn't too bad, just a lot of reading and material that you have to know. The test are much different in the nursing program, so thats another thing that gets people.

10. Addicts!!! NURSES How do you seperate addicts from pts. who really are in pain?!

    chasemelony replied to chasemelony's topic in General Nursing

12. Addicts!!! NURSES How do you seperate addicts from pts. who really are in pain?!

    chasemelony replied to chasemelony's topic in General Nursing

    And I truly respect that. I've heard that a pt. died from a sickle cell attack because the nurses and docs just thought she was lying so they left her there. Nurses and Docs need to assess pts. the right way so that pts. won't end up dead because the...
