   ZinnianWolf replied to girlfromtx's topic in General Students

   We have one patient for clinical. After A.M. care I try to get a hold of the patients chart to gather some more info on PMHx/PSHx to see how or if any of the pre-exixting problems contribute to the problems that the patient was admitted with. I al...

2. Another Nurse Bites the Dust...

   ZinnianWolf replied to CseMgr1's topic in General Nursing

   I was watching one of the CNN news channels and they did a piece on new nurses and how they don't stay in the profession too long. The reason for most leaving was burnout. They also were saying how not enough people are interested in the profession...

3. Confused about how to become a nurse

   ZinnianWolf replied to val&corey's topic in General Nursing

   I am in the LPN program and will be finished in june (yippee!), but I think anything nursing higher than LPN you need to take prerequisites for. I am not sure of what all of the classes are that are required, but I think english, math, biology, micr...

   ZinnianWolf replied to Rob7177's topic in General Nursing

   I am in CT and I think (not really sure) that the only thing that would keep someone from taking the state boards is drug ralated convictions and maybe some serious felonies, but other than that I don't think there is anything else. I know that on t...

8. Where Do I Draw The Line Between Right And Wrong?

   ZinnianWolf replied to ZinnianWolf's topic in General Nursing

   Hello again friends. I am sad to report that I am now the blacksheep, the bad guy, and anything else that would go under "bad" to my Aunt and the others. I am happy but sad at the same time. I just hope that my Aunt will get over it soon, and the ...

   ZinnianWolf replied to hotcoffee1's topic in General Nursing

   I don't agree with and am tired of hearing that if there is a conflict between an instructor and a student that it is the student's fault. Some people are hard to work with and go on this power trip and refuse to validate that on occasion the studen...

    I don't like the fake nails, but that is just me. My experience with them weren't so good. When I was a CNA, I was making a bed and while mittering a corner, I hit my nail on the bed frame and the nail became inflamed. I would get holes in my glove...

    ZinnianWolf replied to Paramedicated's topic in General Nursing

    I am not sure about what I am about to say, but I think some of the questions that they ask are questions that are not counted. They want to see the percentage of people who get it right before they make it an official test question. I guess what I...

13. Story on Oprah: Cradle Rape

    ZinnianWolf replied to NannaNurse's topic in General Nursing

    I heard this story from one of my classmates. I think it is sickening and sad. I think that there is still a lot of work to be done with educating people about HIV/AIDS. It is too bad that the funding needed for mass education and other things that...
