  1. I too tend to study better on my own. If you preferred it in pre-reqs, you'll probably still prefer it in NS. I would just watch your grades...if they slip at all, give a study group a try and see if they improve. But otherwise...folks like you and m...
  2. Are you looking at me?

    Who gives a ...... when/where it came from. It is an awesome poem OP thanks for sharing. I have read it before but I think we need to be reminded of this all the time. :)
  3. Nursing students...I can't believe...

    OP, careful what you post on the general forum as a student and anything re: students. Usually gets negative reception rather quickly. Nothing wrong with your classmates way of thinking. Nothing wrong with yours either. I am a student too and I wo...
  4. Arrested while Occupying Wall Street - Will I Be Hireable?

    Am I the only one who sees the irony in this thread?
  5. Not hired...because of post intervie thank you note..yes, really

    This. Agree completely. I bet my right pinkie this guy has some reason to need to "hide" this job from his resume/employer. I'm sorry it went this way for you. And I agree it is really weird.
  6. Just wondering if this is the norm..

    Thanks to all, I really appreciate the responses. Like I said, we were really limited in what we had access to in the charts. (matter of fact,we were not allowed to request the charts at all. Could only ask for info from the chart. :\) I have a lo...
  7. Just wondering if this is the norm..

    Yea not really enough info I know. I have a lot to learn about wounds. Still a baby student. We go back to this facility next week. Anxious to see this pt again and ask more questions.
  8. Just wondering if this is the norm..

    We were not allowed to. Advised the instructor she said nothing we could do.
  9. Just wondering if this is the norm..

    I'm a student and had my first clinical day yesterday at a nearby LTC facility. (Wonderful day. Could not have asked for kinder or more accommadating patients. :) ) There was one lol who had a wound on each of her heels (not sure of the nature of th...
  10. IM injections, to aspirate or not?

    We are taught to aspirate. Not necessary for deltoid IM though. We were taught the 10 sec rule for z track as well. Ditto to the response that the cause is for assurance of med absorption, especially if the med is caustic to the skin and/or subq.
  11. Please stop passing judgement on everyone in this program. Tall and blonde does not equal stupid. Over 40 does not equal over the hill and too slow to learn. Second career does not equal "I'm just in this for the money and job security." It may just ...
  12. Can NPs prescribe medication?

    They can in GA but under physician. Example, when you get script filled it will have MDs name not NPs. And yep to narcs.
  13. I showed emotion in front my clinical instructor - is that bad?

    Bump all this "dont show emotions" junk. You're human. You're stressed. Your in nursing school. That alone is enough reason for one good cry a week. Now don't get me wrong. I know we can't walk around ALL the time a crying bumbling mess because of ou...
  14. Clinical simulation fears

    To me it's the hardest and most awkward practicing on each other! Lol " Hi Mr./Mrs. So-and-so, whom I've come to know really well now I have to act like you're a complete stranger, I'll be your student nurse today." We start 'real' clinicals next wee...
  15. Obvious violation of hippa

    What kind of person thinks that HIV is something to laugh about? She needs a wake up call re: privacy and morals.
