  1. That is a true statement.
  2. Absolutely! I would appreciate that very much.
  3. You have been very helpful. I have not quite landed on ideal brain sheets. I am definitely grateful to see what you are using. I'm not good at remembering the patient specifics without them - I'm stretched too thin for where I'm at in my developme...
  4. Hi, I am going into my second year of my ADN program and hope to get an RN position at my local hospital so I want to now get a position as a CNA there. It makes sense that I highlight that I am a nursing student who has done my clinical rotations at...
  5. Loving Hospice

    Thanks for posting that. I am in nursing school and as a former social worker, I am drawn to the hospice field where a nurse can establish relationships. However, I understand that the pay is significantly less than other areas of nursing, yes?
  6. I believe you have been honest as well as very respectful. Thank you for advocating for new nurses...it enhances patient care in the long run.
  7. Oh gosh do I feel your pain!

  13. Nursing School Patient Loads

    Again, your post was extremely helpful and I plan on using it as a template to plan my clinical day. I hope you are mentoring up and coming nursing students in your program - you seem to have a handle on how to tackle the sometimes not-so-reasonable...
  14. Nursing School Patient Loads

    Hi. This is like my clinical expectations. My ADN program has a good reputation; however we are in the same town as a magnet hospital and it IS difficult to get a job there unless you have a BSN. You sound like a bright and talented individual well ...
  15. Hopefully this thread is helpful for other instructors to read. It's certainly helpful for me to write about it. I'm grateful for the honest feedback I am getting. Yes, the night before, we have one patient that we do our prep work and thorough re...
