   dolphinbeauty09 replied to jadedgreeneyes's topic in Virginia

   Some of you need to do your research. I am a student at SRMC and in my second of five semesters. We have 36 students in our class. We had two students drop last semester due to personal issues and they started back up this semester. Students who ...

2. Is anyone attended or considered attending............ SRMC?

   dolphinbeauty09 replied to linda215's topic in Virginia

   I attend SRMC in their traditional program. They have not reopened the online program yet and are not sure when (if) they are going to. In my opinion, nursing school is not something that should be done online if you can help it. I've taken many c...

3. Question about a student reporting RN mistakes

   dolphinbeauty09 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

   The patient was 1 day post-op, not 45 minutes. And as I said, it wasn't that I was trying to "report' anyone, it was that I felt it was important for me to tell someone. Through the advice given, I understand I should talk to the assigned nurse fir...

4. Question about a student reporting RN mistakes

   dolphinbeauty09 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

   I appreciate all the advice. My objective was certainly NOT to tattle, I had only been in the hospital for a day and really still don't know much. I will definitely be sure to go straight to the assigned nurse from now on before anyone else if I ha...

5. Question about a student reporting RN mistakes

   dolphinbeauty09 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

   The patient was technically not my "assignment". We were paired up with two students per patient and all we were doing was PA and VS. We haven't learned anything about doing armbands and we aren't allowed to do anything without an instructor presen...

6. Question about a student reporting RN mistakes

   dolphinbeauty09 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

   I should also mention that when I approached the nurse manager, it was more that I told him "I can't find my instructor and I noticed this pt needs an armband and to have output measured." And he told me he would handle it. I never mentioned anythin...

7. Question about a student reporting RN mistakes

   dolphinbeauty09 replied to dolphinbeauty09's topic in General Nursing

   Yeah, I can understand that I probably should have. However, the one time I did try to talk to her, she brushed me off and told me she had it handled. We are also under direction of the instructor to NOT approach the nurses in regards to the care u...

12. Lost job over HIPAA violation, what is employment potential?

    dolphinbeauty09 replied to RockyMountainHigh's topic in HIPAA

    I have to agree with some of the ladies here.. In no way was this harmless. You do not know that it wasn't harmful to the patient because you haven't questioned the patient. I am not yet a nurse (I start nursing school in August), but I have worked...

    dolphinbeauty09 replied to babyNP.'s topic in NICU

    I saw a previous post about how you need 2 years of NICU experience with at least one year at a Level III. I contacted ECU about their NNP program and was told by the head of the program that you have to have 2 years of Level III NICU experience. I...
