2. RN student seeking opinion from pros about stethoscopes

   Dont replied to tutored's topic in General Nursing

   Follow up question. I agree this was a nice gift, but if a student starts out with something this sensitive can it create problems later on when a situation forces you to use a cheapie?

3. Stethoscope help

   Dont replied to babybee3184's topic in General Nursing

   I purchased a MAXISCOPE from ultrascope. It was about $35 and much better (in my opinion) than the cheapies we were using in school. It has the added benefit of being bright orange so I don't get it mixed up with other student or the school's scop...

4. Nurse Shortage??

   > This is what I don't understand? For our skin assessment lab the teacher asked that the female students wear a sports bra and shorts and the guys wear shorts. About half of the class reacted as if they had just been asked to pose nude for an "...

9. What "JOB" did you work to put yourself though School?

   Dont replied to NurseMatt's topic in General Students

   Most of my fellow students work PCA or STNA jobs. Good way to get some (if not all) of your school paid for by someone else!

10. Frustration in lab

    Dont replied to Dont's topic in General Students

    I'm not talking about a foley. I'm talking about things like heart sounds, breathing sounds, bowel sounds, palpation of abdomen, etc. Seems like anything that involves touching or removal of any clothing is out of bounds for students of different gen...

12. Frustration in lab

    Dont posted a topic in General Students

    Looking for feedback. I'm a male nursing student and I'm very frustrated with our lab sessions. Why do the majority of my fellow students (male and female) start acting like they're 15 years old when it comes to "hands on" lab work? In this profes...

    i think the middle class has to take at least some of the blame for the current sitution. i'm not saying it's their fault, but they certainly aren't doing anything to help the matter. > the average size of a middle class home has gone from 1700 to...
