   InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Students

   Sorry this is a late reply, its been crazy in school! But I passed!! Who would have thought a bed/bath would fail so many students (only like 1/10th passed first try). Our clinical instructor is the D.O.N. of a nursing home so she was a stickler on ...

2. Job while in nursing school?

   InsideWindow replied to haleymcole's topic in General Students

   I just finished my pre-reqs and am only in the first semester of fundamentals, so my advice can only be applied to such. Working during pre reqs and school is possible - I have many classmates who juggle both. However, it may take a hit on your grade...

4. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

   InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

   While medical attention is pretty good for him on some bases, its not always the case. I have no knowledge of Canadian regulations, but in the states, diabetes doesn't help anyones cause. He joined back in 08 and he just barely made the cut because o...

6. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

   InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

   I won't go on student doc or those websites anymore. I've came across too many pages of members bashing nurses, laughing about "stupid things stupid nurses say", bad teachers this, bad teachers that, "Nurse Ratchet was working today", "Nurses unite l...

7. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

   InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

   So I slept on it last night and woke up feeling much more clear-headed. And I apologize to Nola - it is very hard for me to see my husband go through this as running is his life. I made it a bit personal, the nurses advances, through unclear thinking...

8. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

   InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

   @alisonisayoshi - Thanks for the insight. I appreciate the constructive criticism and non-attacks. It's near *impossible* to get your message across without rubbing someone the wrong way due to lack of body language and tone on online forms, so I app...

9. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

   InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

   Its no problem - he had an X-ray on his foot after his first appointment with her and she noticed something "off" about his achilles tendon. She wanted to order the MRI so she could get a better picture of what was going on. And yeah, he pretty much ...

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    Please clarify what you mean by "you people". You sound just like the kinda nurse I would want as my health provider You obviously didn't read anything I wrote. Take your negativity elsewhere, you obviously cant handle a discussion without letting y...

11. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    Oh no, he wouldn't claim mental anguish for refusing medication. He's on healthcare's side, not against it or one of those patients where "Doctor doesn't know best". Like I said, I'm not one for reporting anyone for not getting my/their/anothers way....

12. Nurse Neglect/Abuse?

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in General Nursing

    I never said I didn't like her. Said she was probably having a bad day. And she told us she set it up 3 months away because she deemed it as a non-priority, regardless of his pain, which she was very blunt about - something the actual Physician said ...

    InsideWindow posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey nurses, I hope this is in the right thread. Sorry if its not! Anyway, I'm still a nursing student in my first year, so I don't know much about Neglect or Abuse, but I'm pretty sure I just witnessed it at my husbands doctor appointment yesterday?...

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in Student Assist

    Thats what I ended up putting for my diagnosis. Even though, one teacher said "Education" and our other said "Nutrition", I went with priorities. Just waiting on my grade to find out if I was right now! Thanks! :)

    InsideWindow replied to InsideWindow's topic in Student Assist

    Thank you guys. I understand the ADPIE and diagnosis based on evidence by the characteristics from the patient, and the nursing vs medical diagnosis. I also read a lot of other posts too and read those comments. I appreciate them though, as some may ...
