Very touching :hug:

Thank you everyone for your kind words as well as your advice. I have definitely taken it to heart. A little update on the situation- the patient's 02 sat continued to trend down, he suffered a fall,...

Thank you everyone! I have definitely learned my lesson. This is why I love this site- such a great resource!

Well, without writing a novel about my patient, he was a young guy in his 40's, & he had come back from abdominal surgery very early in the morning. About 2 hours after I had first checked him out,...

ginaw623- thank you for your encouragement! I don't think the nurse was an idiot, just maybe not as receptive to my questions as other nurses have been in the past. not.done.yet- no, it wasn't...

As a student, I am still learning my boundaries. I got yelled at (I mean REALLY yelled at, in front of about 5 other staff members no less) by the nurse I was working with yesterday at my hospital....

This thread makes me feel much less alone, and also a lot more grateful for how amazing most of my instructors have been thus far!:)

I'm not religious per say- nor should that matter, but if He gives you strength- then rock on!!! Congrats RN! (and forget the others who have bad things to say :) ):hug:

Congratulations Nurse!!:w00t:

As a fellow student, I am sorry you had this kind of situation happen to you. I've had it happen before too, and I was able to take a step back and think about how he may be feeling (NANDA time!)...

On the bright side... you will probably NEVER forget to sign out of a computer in the hospital ever again!

OP, you must have a lot of time on your hands. Shame on you for making a big deal out of nothing. Utilizing resources, including another persons access to databases one might not have them self, is...

Chances are your school is formatting their exam questions the way the NCLEX formats. Last semester was my first semester, and the questions really threw me for a loop. They were totally different...

You know what, I think you did the right thing. Forget that rude nurse- this is your CHILD, you can never be safe enough!! Best of luck :hug:

Monday is a holiday. GOOD LUCK!!! I will be thinking positive thoughts for you both :-)

I know in my nursing program, we HAVE to listen both anteriorly and posteriorly. I agree with what was said earlier... use a sweeping motion with the back of your hand and just avoid direct...

Enjoy the ride! You can breathe (and sleep) when it's over ;-)

Hello RN2b119! I am in nursing school too... and left class today completely DEFLATED! I can absolutely relate to how you're feeling. Some days I feel like my head is above water, other days I...

This is probably one of the most comedic threads on AN. I'm in tears.:D

Hi Mila3791! First off, congratulations on getting into the program! What exciting news! So far, the program has been absolutely wonderful. The first semester instructors for both lecture and...

Congratulations!! I'm proud of you! :hug:

hi wrst- I am not an RN yet (in school) but our hospital rotations are done at valley and kaiser, with a few others. Several instructors/past students who I have talked to, and who now work at...

It's unfortunate, but it sounds like if the school sets the standards and they weren't met, there is nothing that can be done. Have you talked to the Dean or whomever is in charge? 85 is pretty high...

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone know how long the MSN program is? The website is so hard to navigate. I'm ADN-MSN with a non-nursing bachelors degree, so I am aware I have to take 4...

I am so sorry you are going though this. I will keep you in my thoughts
