   To clarify! I have addressed this in a vague matter yet we are covering the entire umbrella of STI and their prevention. This will include promotion of abstinence, safe practices, along with barriers to pregnancy (which some, but not all, also are ba...

   Murse91 replied to Murse91's topic in Student Assist

   Exactly! Prevention methods! Condoms, female condoms, birth control, IUD, etc. they told us anything is fair game as long as pictures go. Yet we are trying to figure out how to engage the class so that they aren't so much uncomfortable but have fun a...

5. You will make mistakes

   Murse91 replied to cd365c's topic in Technicians

   Well I'm relieved that I'm not the only one! 1 and a half hours seems to be average and it always seemed like too long for me. And then you get the nurses staring you down asking why vitals aren't in as you're running from room to room. I began to em...

7. So how does it feel like to be a male nurse

   Murse91 replied to panjeremy's topic in Male Students

   With the massive surge of men in nursing I get treated no different than the other classmates. They are actually really welcoming of men in the field! So don't worry about it! Your nursing classmates are much more understanding and accepting than the...

    Murse91 replied to crNAtion's topic in General Students

    A sibling held a position at this hospital prior so they let me know. But it wasn't until I had clinical at the site that I found out they were actively hiring! I suggest to look into it and stop into HR at the desired hospital. That's what I feel h...

11. Unhealthy Habits of Nurses

    Murse91 replied to lynns75's topic in Stress 101

    Have you ever heard that first impressions can significantly impact a relationship? Well in this case, since you focused on appealing to the patient and forming a trust, if the patient has a negative and judgmental view of you then forget it. No mat...

12. General Nursing Student

    I currently work as a student nurse assistant at a local hospital! It's a great learning experience while in school and I only have a minimum shift requirement. But they are flexible and understanding that school comes first!

13. Unhealthy Habits of Nurses

    Murse91 replied to lynns75's topic in Stress 101

    My response wasn't meant to assert that the nurse has no merit. I'm simply stating what this scenario would look like from an outside perspective. The nurse may have the adequate information or even be an expert on the topic yet the patient won't lis...

14. Unhealthy Habits of Nurses

    Murse91 replied to lynns75's topic in Stress 101

    Richard I understand your point of view but you also must take a look at how this looks from a patient perspective. It's equivalent of a homeless man lecturing you on how to save your money...there's no credibility there.

15. Unhealthy Habits of Nurses

    Murse91 replied to lynns75's topic in Stress 101

    This is something I had a heated debate about in my ethics class. How we got on the subject I don't know...anyways...I believe that as nurses we must be professional figures and role models for the community that we serve. I mean no disrespect by say...
