1. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

   student_girl replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

   Vegetarians would take it, as it does not come from a live breathing animals. Vegans, on the other hand would refuse it because we object to human use of animals, and all meds have been tested on animals. And die-hard vegans would rather lose their l...

2. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

   student_girl replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

   I would tell them. They have the right to know. Heck, even I would refuse it, along with gelatine caps. I don't eat that stuff either. I'm not jewish or muslim, but I'm vegan. And if I ever come across a vegan pt, and that I'm aware of it, I'll tell ...

3. did your school require a drug test?

   student_girl replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Students

   Neither does my school, thankfully. Otherwise, we'd be about 25 people in the entire program...

4. You know you've been in nursing school too long when...

   student_girl replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Students

   Oh yeah! I do that all the time! Or when it's summer and you're working nights, you wonder what you're going to bring to read, because you don't have any more schoolwork! I wonder what my free time-filled life will be like after school!

5. Bad Clinical Rotation

   student_girl replied to fotografe's topic in General Students

   I feel your pain dear! My CI (OB/GYN) is the devil personated! She makes me awfully nervous, which makes me forget things, and she doesn't stop being on my case. For exemple, there was something that no sudent knew (we're a group of 5). Yet, I'm the ...

6. Nursing School

   student_girl replied to nurseelite's topic in General Students

   In my school, hep b isn't a factor, but you have to tell the program supervisor. The only thing that can keep you out is a drug/alcohol problem or a mental health problem.

7. Worst week ever...(vent)

   student_girl replied to student_girl's topic in General Students

   Unfortunatly, that's the best time we could get by "shopping around". Thanks to everyone for your replies, it helps a lot.

8. Worst week ever...(vent)

   student_girl posted a topic in General Students

   I just had the worst week of my life. I found out I was too selective and would not be able to do my externship this summer, which sucks, 'cause I'll be stuck working as an aid while seeing my friends play nursey...:angryfire But the worst blow came...

9. My New Nurse Wake-Up Call; Shocking Behaviors

   student_girl replied to SkateBetty's topic in General Nursing

   It's a good idea, but couldn't be called like that in my province. A code pink is a pediatric cardiac arrest.

10. Excited and just need to tell someone!

    student_girl replied to Bumashes's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, absolutely! The first semester is sooo much easier if you know pt care first. Good luck!

    Hi! You'd probably have more success here: https://allnurses.com/forums/f205/ in the student assistance forum. Good luck!

12. So . . . What are you doing during the strike? (more of a rant)

    student_girl replied to kristen38's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain. It happened to us (in Quebec) last year. But for us, it was a student strike. You could try to read to get ahead, work more hours (if possible) and TAKE SOME TIME FOR YOU!!!! I know it sucks big time, but it's happening and you got...

13. Spending the Benjamins

    student_girl replied to narcissistic's topic in Pre-Nursing

    My :angryfire !%&$?%$:angryfire student loan, as well as my gf's (in nursing school too-scheduled to graduate at the same time.) Have a bit more than 5000 together...:angryfire

14. Thoughts on nurse's uniforms

    student_girl replied to mxs84's topic in General Students

    At my school, we can pretty much wear what we want, as long as it's not too "freaky", ie: weird colors like black, of patterns. The only mandatory thing is our student badge issued by the school.

15. how many (nursing students) are sick?

    student_girl replied to Maisie's topic in General Students

    Aside from my stress level that has never been that high, my anemia and being sleep deprived, I had cellulitis (not the orange-skin thingy) last week. I was in the ER a couple of days, but managed to get my DM to let me go to school! (I'm crazy, huh?...
