   Phelbotomy is different. They do that. Here in my school we dont (ADN) stick each other. Although all my instructors did when they were in school. And as far as fighting it, again I wouldnt rock the boat. JMHO

   newgrad2004 replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

   LoL if you wish. But in my class we had to pick same sex partners. But it isnt a huge deal since no one gets nude. So I can see how some schools wouldnt care either way. Its a good experience and it isnt so bad. Also you dont usually do it on th...

   I have seen this too and agree with the boot camp thingy. We had many "rebel" students try to change exam questions, stating they were too hard, well DUH do you not think they are hard for a reason? Do you think the NCLEX is a cake walk? I swear p...

   How long ago? Most schools I have heard do not for the same reasons. Your school, while its good you got to practice on real people before going to the hospital, but the practice itself is scarey for the schools safety.

   LoL if you act inappropriatley then you would get the big ol boot. Privacy is maintained and no one does peri care so it really isnt a biggy if you have shorts and a tank, or a bathing suit. Of course no one can force you to do anything but fighting...

   Thankfully they wont let you practice or make pin cushions out of each other. HIV/hep A-Z stopped that.

7. Kaplan review class

   newgrad2004 replied to rachelaleanRN2B's topic in New Nurse

   I heard about the review classes and that they are long and comprehensive. I heard its like taking the RN program but cramming all the info you learned in 2 years into 4 days. Some you will recall, some you wont remember very well, but know you did...

8. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

   newgrad2004 replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

   Hahah I recall being as frightened about this as you but most just wore shorts and some daring ones wore a bathing suit. We had the curtains drawn and most of us knew someone from our prereqs that we felt comfortable enough with. Also it was stated...

9. How do you really feel about 5-star rooms?

   newgrad2004 replied to maddiecat's topic in General Nursing

   They all (the rooms) look the same with the lights off at night. But I hate those pts who will ask to be waited on hand and foot,( like the woman who got up to come to the nurses station for EVERYTHING yet asked for a diaper, wth for? During the day...

10. I'm not rich! How do they expect some of us to get this done!?

    newgrad2004 replied to Truly_Blessed's topic in General Students

    try the school too, or talk to exiting students. Most would nearly pay you to take their used uniforms and or books from them. Also in CA where I live we have the BOGG grant which pays for tuition. The Pell we get first week of school. And most s...

    newgrad2004 replied to Athlein1's topic in CRNA

    How about "someones sugar daddy" hehe Personally I loved my anestesiologist, And everytime I had surgery was before school and I didnt ask credentials being out side of field. I just knew they gave me some good S$%# and I love them for it

13. Hippa info. please

    newgrad2004 replied to plumrn's topic in General Nursing

    You cant prove anyone is a relative. Besides what if the one relative calls whom they dont want to know. The nurses at our hospital just pass the call to the room and let the pt answer their questions politely telling them they cant give out that i...
