  1. medical error injection

    This is scary! I know we are all human and make mistakes but as a 4th semester student I double, triple check what I am giving. If I made a mistake I would say so immediately!! Isn't that what we are here for? To take care of people.
  2. Why type of IV solution to use?

    I love you!!!! I am in 4th semester and still don't feel I have a great understanding of this. Thank you! I will refer back to this. Wish you were my professor.
  3. I flunked out of clinical today..

    I guess what I meant to say is that if she was on the job she could have asked a coworker to borrow a watch etc.. Being a student she was afraid of getting in trouble. Her mistake was just not fessing up to not having a watch but if she has a instruc...
  4. I flunked out of clinical today..

    I can't believe they would throw you out for this. This is why I think nursing school is not reality. If you were on the job you would find a reliable way to take the pulse. Being that your grade is on the line you have to "make do" if you've forgott...
  5. How do you study?

    I just finished my first semester. Not sure if the tests are the same in all schools. I found that no matter how much I studied the results were the same. You are tested on "what you will do as a nurse" so understand the body systems and disease proc...

  8. I am in ns1 and was scared to death by what I was told... It has been overwhelming so far but I like to hear comments like this! I think it is all doable with good time management.
  9. the "mean girls" of nursing school

    I think when you first start school you definitely want a good relationship with the people that are going through it with you. Have you tried to be really friendly and get in a study group with them if they are doing well? If they refused forget it ...
  10. Oh my girl...First of all you are still sooo young! Second of all it is NEVER to late to do what you love! I am 31 and am starting school in Jan. I have 3 kids that I am raising which makes it harder but I still feel like people look at me like "you ...
  11. Have you ever been paralyzed by fear?

    I start in January and am terrified. It really didnt hit me until recently but last night I could barely sleep with all the what ifs. I think the same things...not smart enough...memory...confidence etc. We just got to get in there and do our best :)
