1. Patient fx hip after family refused alarm

   Carlos1 replied to Emilyinsc's topic in Safety

   I dont see how you can be blamed, after I read the latest. I would have insisted and documented the refusal also. I'm not a nurse (yet). The NH should have rules to protect their employees. I think the NH failed both the patient and their employe...

2. Are these sneakers acceptable for nursing school?

   Carlos1 replied to 369XYZ's topic in General Students

   I bought Nike that are all leather and all white with a smaller black swoosh on the one side. I did see a pair of white leather nike's with a white swoosh on the side after than. I wore them for the first and second semesters so far without issue.

4. Grateful for male nurses!!

   Carlos1 replied to studentnurse96's topic in Male Students

   I'm glad to see that male nurses are well accepted. My clinical experience so far has me throughly convinced that I am on the right path, even at 48. I probabaly have 20 years or so to give. I have 3 semesters left before my ADN and then only the ...

5. Internal Fetal Monitoring

   Carlos1 posted a topic in Ob/Gyn

   I'm in my summer OB class, and reading the book about fetal monitoring. In the book, it has an image showing the attachment of a spiral electrode to the scalp, but it stops short of saying just how the spiral electrode remains attached. It leads me...

6. Fifty-four and I start school on Monday

   Carlos1 replied to cindyjo's topic in LPN/LVN Students

   I started prereq's at 46 - almost 3 years ago, I have three semesters left for my ADN, and whatever it takes for my BSN. I am one of the older students (not the oldest) and being a male, I am really the minority. I realized that I need to keep lear...

7. Some guidance and advice needed please

   Carlos1 replied to Rivv91's topic in Pre-Nursing

   I got my first associates degree from a larger public college, the second one at a community college and I'm in the nursing program there now. (3 semesters to go!) Being an older student myself, I would agree to take your pre-req's right where you a...

8. Not sure this is for me....

   Carlos1 replied to CinDRnyc's topic in General Students

   I did enjoy working at the LTC facility, but I knew I was not going to be there long term. It is not what I was meant to do. I am in my second semester and still going. There are so many avenues that you could take. If you're like me, you did not...

9. For pre nursing students

   Carlos1 replied to dsf43's topic in Pre-Nursing

   Good luck to you. Glad you are sticking with it. I waited a 'few' years to figure out what I wanted to do with my life (I'm 48). Started classes for pre-req's in 2009 and just finished my first semester as a student nurse. Now I have this summer ...
