   MiaNursingStudent replied to MiaNursingStudent's topic in Criminal

   I think that aggravated assault is viewed differently as a misdemeanor when it comes to the state board of nursing. I got into my nursing school bc I applied and it they only did a state background check to get it, but as soon as I was accepted (befo...

2. Saw a nurse yelling at a patient in ICU

   MiaNursingStudent replied to inspiredbynavy's topic in Safety

   I work on medical telemetry-- also know as the psych hospital overflow, ICU/ER dump, geriatric unit overflow-- you name it, we got it. Most my patients are HOH and don't/refuse to wear their hearing aids. Now imagine that with a dementia patient who ...

3. New nurses feel like quitting?

   MiaNursingStudent replied to Patti_RN's topic in New Nurse

   I officially started my job 8/19/13. A new grad nurse for a medical/telemetry floor during day shift. I was so excited. Then I realized we were the "dump" floor..... ICU/ER dumps... Holding unit for the psych hospital if they didn't have beds.... We ...

   Oops! My apologies. The whole random seizure thing just had me freaked out. It won't happen again.

5. I had my first seizure at nursing orientation :(

   MiaNursingStudent posted a topic in Stress 101

   So I recently (may 2013) graduated from nursing school. I'm working on an AMAZING medical/telemetry unit (we also take hospice and psych overflow)... But anyway, during the 3rd day of orientation (like how to use the computer, etc) I had a seizure in...

   MiaNursingStudent replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Relations

   Bahahhajjajaj!!! This totally made me lol. Before I graduated from nursing school I was all about neuro trauma ICU or cvicu then one day my bf woke up at 5 am and said his heart felt weird (I brushed it off as him having a nightmare or the weird surg...

7. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

   MiaNursingStudent replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Relations

   This! This nurse nailed it. ICU nurses are very very very organized when it comes to lines. I a million times prefer patients intubated, sedated, and restrained (but that might be bc I came from a medical examiner's office), but the admits/discharge/...

8. Why are ICU nurses so rude?

   MiaNursingStudent replied to wanderlustRN24's topic in Relations

   As a med-tele nurse (a brand new one at that) I won't lie that as a nursing student I loved ICU. I was obsessed with neuro trauma ICU and interned on that unit for 9 months!!! If you would've told me that when I graduated I would work med-tele..... I...

   So. There is some crazy news..... Remember how excited I was to be in orientation?!? I had a seizure in the bathroom stall!!! What. The.heck. So of course I thought maybe I strained too much and caused a vagal response--- nope. During the post ictal ...
