2. Why am I trying to make career changes already?

   jerryh55 replied to Aneroo's topic in General Nursing

   Seems to me that many years ago this type of treatment was addressed, and something called the family medical leave act was signed into law. This was what it was dsigned to prevent. Employers dumping employees who have some sort of medical probloem t...

3. Quick Question

   jerryh55 replied to Nursing Student 2005's topic in General Students

   This might be a teeny bit of topic, but is relevant in a way. We have 4 care plands each semester to do, but if you do good on the first three you may be exempt from the 4th one. Well, semester one was a learning experience for me and had to do all 4...

4. Ethics, or Ethics for Nurses?

   jerryh55 replied to TrojanPrincess's topic in General Students

   ethics was a required course during our first semster in nursing school, but it was ethics for nursing. Ethics in the nursing field seem to me to be much more complicated than the regular world. So I would think ethics for nursing to be more in-line ...

5. Got to give my first injection today!!!

   jerryh55 replied to RNin2007's topic in General Students

   SIRI, I an just see your instructor now. We have one that would have been rolling her eyes as she was falling down from uncontrollable laughter. I think it's those littlre things like that that keep us all sane in nursing school. And trust me, i need...

6. It's too late to drop classes, but don't know if I can continue.

   jerryh55 replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

   You have gotten some really good advice here, but the point of the whole thing is being able to get through clinicals. I am going to throw something out here and I hope you can understand it and relate to it. To me clinicals is a very personal thing,...

8. On Line Classes- Need Guidance-PLEASE

   jerryh55 replied to NOLANURSERN's topic in General Students

   I took my A&P 2 online and the tests were open book, but were times just as if you were in the class taking them, and as long as you had very good notes it wasnt to bad. The only negative I have heard is that some people think you can look up all...

9. *cry* another preceptor problem...

   jerryh55 replied to purplecotton's topic in General Nursing

   I have 2 questions about what happened. First, is the watcher like a sitter who just sits with them and what do they actually do, and are they employed by the hospital. I am one who really doesnt appreciate someone peeing on my head and telling me it...

10. What are the actual nursing classes like?

    jerryh55 replied to RNWannaBe724's topic in General Students

    I am in a 2 year ADN program and I cant imagine having to do all those classes while doing the nursing program courses. We have to have all the pre-reqs done before we apply. I guess thats why we only go to class one day a week and clinicaL one day a...

11. Where do you study?

    jerryh55 replied to JGLPN2BE's topic in General Students

    I have to agree with Marie on the bed thing, but at my age sleeping seems to be the biggest past time in there. I am fortunate not to have kids under the age of 27 at home, so I dont have to deal with that. But I do study on the kitchen table as long...

12. tritrated O2 levels

    jerryh55 replied to lindakay99's topic in Student Assist

    Giving to high of a concetration of O2 fools the system into thinking there is more than there is and will shut the breathing process down. Most of the levels we have seen for such patients is around 2L, but have been told might see 3 but no more. Ho...

    jerryh55 replied to Mudnuri's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Hey Brandy, is this a group your gonna be stuck with all through class, or is it just a one time pairing?? If its gonna last all the way through your class, I would talk with the instructor and in the very least, he could do would be to obseve these ...
