   tbbtpeach posted a topic in Psychiatric

   Does anyone have any good books or literature that they would recommend concerning dealing with psych patients on the medical floor? I try to rely on my therapeutic communication skills when I have a psych patient, but I feel so woefully incompetent ...

2. Sometimes, it just Stinks

   tbbtpeach replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

   Just came off a three day stretch where I had a patient who just downright stunk! When the night shift nurse and I did a safety check my first day, I was greeted with a wall of odor as soon as I opened the door. I thought that he must've just had a b...

3. Weird email after second interview

   tbbtpeach replied to Kay_Ray's topic in Job Hunt

   Your snide comment may make you feel better about yourself, but I'm not sure how helpful it is to this forum. This is the crap that made me stop utilizing AN for a while. Fortunately, the majority of nurses on here are actually helpful and don't stri...

5. Tips for New Nursing Students

   tbbtpeach posted a topic in General Students

   Hey, ya'll! I just finished up my first year of nursing school today! Last year at this time, I was looking on this site for guidance and encouragement about the nursing program (about which I knew nothing!). Believe me, I can't believe how much I've...

7. Cultural Diversity and Tattoos

   tbbtpeach replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

   I believe this is a tricky situation. On one hand, I can totally see how you feel about having to cover up your tattoos. You're not going to spread anything by them; they're a part of you and how you identify yourself. However, I understand the hospi...

8. 3/4 of the way done with First Semester

   tbbtpeach replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

   Thanks for the update, Heather! What type of program are you in? We had some issues with next semester scheduling. I'm apparently taking psychiatric nursing in the summer since there wasn't enough slots to go around :/..but I'm living with that. I ha...

9. 3/4 of the way done with First Semester

   tbbtpeach posted a topic in General Students

   Wow. Okay! So, I'm basically 3/4 of the way through my first semester of nursing school. It's crazy to look back just about 11 weeks ago at the beginning. I really have learned so much...but, I also realized how much I need to know and master. So far...

10. Clinical Socks/Stockings Question!

    tbbtpeach replied to tbbtpeach's topic in General Students

    Wow, @elkpark, thanks so much for your info! (I can't imagine wearing thigh-highs O_o haha). So, I'll be purchasing some high, white "socks" then! haha Thanks again!

11. Clinical Socks/Stockings Question!

    tbbtpeach posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, all! Okay, my student handbook states that I need: "Stockings:White for men and women. No textured hose, footies, or tennis socks." I'm not very familiar with "stockings". Are those the ones that go half-way up your calf? And, by no tennis socks...

12. Help!

    tbbtpeach replied to Tiffaniebush's topic in Pre-Nursing

    Even though I did not take my Micro class online, I almost wished that I had! (I don't think my school offers it anyway, though). 1. The lecture portion should not be that bad online. Our professor actually uploaded each of her lectures to some websi...

13. Lazy coworkers

    tbbtpeach replied to SU2013's topic in Professionalism

    Cmon, everyone. Let's keep a positive environment on here. No need for the right-fighting and bickering. If you don't want to answer a question or thread, just don't. It helps with the atmosphere. :)

14. Lazy coworkers

    tbbtpeach replied to SU2013's topic in Professionalism

    I would say that when dealing with lazy coworkers (nursing field or not) it's important to make sure all of your jobs are done to the best of your ability. Then, you could pick up the loose ends and show management what you're really made of :) But i...

    Sorry, random question passing through. Is the HESI like the TEAS?
