   Are you hearing yourselves right now? You are going to stick up for an alcoholic just because she is an established RN. She could make a few med errors, drop a couple patients. Oh it's okay, she's a recovering alcoholic. WHAT?? Let's bust out the At...

   rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

   I also think that is very immature and foul. Would you want an alcoholic teaching you? Or working for your college? Or working with you?? And actually I found out from a reputable source. Like I said, I am probably not going to do anything about thi...

   rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

   If anyone believe that nursing care only applies to patients, I wouldn't like to know how they treat everyone else. That is the flaw in this field. We get so burnt out from caring for people all the time that we forget to treat everyone else with re...

   I say PA because it is within the health care field, but it is not involved with direct patient care (e.g., wiping @$$ while raising beds). And I do have more than a half a brain somewhere. But now that I am being kicked while I'm down, maybe I'll co...

   rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

   Thank you for being so frank. I am upset that I was let go after all the hard work and determination and care I've put into this. And I would love to blame it on everything else so that it doesn't hurt as much. But in the end ultimately I made these ...

   My aunt is a military nurse, and I went to her for advice on what I should do. She had a similar experience in Nsg school with an Instructor who would embarrass her, blow off everything she said, everything she did was wrong, and said that she would ...

   rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

   I simply did not think before leaving the room. I simply did not think before answering the patients friend when he asked how he was doing because I figured that I wasn't giving medical information and the patient stated they knew the friend for 20+ ...

   rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

   I take full responsibility for everything that has happened. I'm an awful student nurse for putting my patients lives in jeopardy. And I understand that the consequences were to leave nursing school. It is very serious and real and they happened and ...

   rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

   I felt horrible about ever mistake I made and NEVER made them again. It was often a busy day and it is very easy to get caught up in the moment and "forget gloves" or forget to put the bed down. It was a compounding of issues but I think besides thos...

    I totally agree with you bruce. Anything could happen in a given day. You could die at any second especially in the hospital. As a student I tried my best to be aware of everything. And since I couldn't, that is why I will not be a nurse. Thanks fo...

    My choices were administrative failure, or withdrawal failure. I chose the latter and spoke with the head of nursing. I may or may not return to the profession, but I have a pretty bitter taste in my mouth right now. I believe it is a violation of nu...

    rocketsurgeon87 replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    It has been something I have been interested in and passionate for for a while. I work as an LNA on a medsurg floor and I see these things being done all the time. I even found a used needle left in a patients bed one time! And nobody gets fired for ...

    I'm at a loss for words. Yesterday I left a patients bed up to go grab some wipes. My instructor walked in and saw that the bed was in the high position while I was gone. This was what got me kicked out of nursing school. I always thought that school...

14. I MADE IT!!

    rocketsurgeon87 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm officially a senior nursing student! I just finished my maternity, pediatric and geriatric rotations. My geriatric instructor was what everyone warns about with nursing instructors, we had to know a lot about the meds (labs, use, interactions) wh...

15. Anyone here ever failed out of nursing school?

    rocketsurgeon87 replied to blessed2bfree's topic in General Students

    I have... and I was devastated. It was my first semester. Never failing anything, I took it hard. I had a 3.4 GPA taking honors courses. But I am now in my second semester and getting B's on all the exams. Even being regarded as a "role-model" by my ...
