**Wow it's been a year since I logged in on this website. A lot has changed! This is a question about Tanner's Model of Clinical Judgement. For those who are unfamiliar with this model, it's basically an explanation of what clinical judgement means. ...
Yesterday, I was waiting for a bus and all of a sudden, I heard a big thud. I turned around and saw a man lying on the ground, bleeding from his head. Luckily, a RN was right next to the accident site, so she ran over to him and applied pressure to t...
Wow, such wise words from all of you! Thank you so much. You're right - nursing school is hard and the first we need to focus on is studies. I am lucky that I have one friend but sometimes I would feel lonely whenever I see someone in my nursing cla...
Oops, I forgot to mention one thing! Last year I had one speech language pathologist who assessed my speech and said to me, "I'm not concerned about your speech. There were some words I couldn't understand but overall your speech was very good." Perh...
Thank you for your comment. I like this comment. My speech is pretty understandable - I mean a lot of classmates could understand me (in fact some of them even told me that my speech was good but I find that hard to believe). One of my classes has a ...

But how long am I going to wait till I get a job to find real friends? Because I am almost done my first year, all nursing students will have a clinical placement once a week and I don't live in the same city as the placement. I commute to save money...
I'm a nursing student but again posted this topic in this section because you are all very experienced and intelligent. So here it goes: I attend a university for nursing, and I absolutely love the program. The faculty members are phenomenal and they...
In my school two days ago, I overhead a conversation between three nursing students and one of them was having symptoms for some medical condition that her doctors cannot identify for some unknown reason and her friend said, "well, that's because the...
Whatever, when I told my friends that I've decided to be a nurse, they were like, "ohhh....but in the end, you will be a doctor right?" Well, I have deep respect for nurses and I don't consider nursing as a "stepping stone" towards medicine. I agree ...
