we were taught to wear it up, but some students don't and i've never seen them be told to put it up. personally, i do for comfort when working and hygenic reasons, wouldn't want a stray hair to fall in an open wound while doing dressing changes or so...
one of my instructors is an RNAO chapter member and suggests that the students join. I did receive a best practice guidelines cd with my membership, which I have used for numerous assignments. They also have local chapter dinners in my area which are...
thanks for all of your input. i meant i would stop to see if what i saw was actually an accident (it was nighttime!) and call 911 and reassure people that help was on the way (i wouldn't feel competent doing much else yet!). thank you for opening my ...
Thanks so much. I needed to tell someone, but not anyone in my nursing class! Love this site! but hate all the what ifs in nursing! next time I'm stopping!

good points. yes, my parents have been helping me financially, and I have another family member that gives me money for school each year, but I've been doing as much as I can to help. I worked and saved all through highschool and stayed an extra year...
I'm currently looking into switching programs because the last two years of my BScN are at a far away school, so I'd rather finish closer to home. Since all nursing programs are not the same, some of my credits won't match up and I might be put back ...
don't feel bad. last semester I thought my patient was having a stroke infront of me (she got scared and couldn't tell me what was wrong and that she couldn't work her tongue) i grabbed the first nurse I saw, got out of the patient's room and started...
