   MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in Psychiatric

   Wonderful replies, thank you all so much for weighing in on this topic and my personal situation. I returned to work, and sharing the former patient's actions, we are all shocked by her choices. I really appreciate you all taking the time to share yo...

2. Recent patient drunkenly kills motorist

   MilieuRN posted a topic in Psychiatric

   Good morning, nurses. I started my career as a nurse in an up and coming psychiatric hospital. During nursing school, I developed a passion for mental health and for advocating for patient rights while fighting the stigma that surrounds the mentally ...

3. Nervous About Nursing

   MilieuRN replied to MSBREELEE's topic in General Students

   Also, that being said, I've talked with many LPNs during my clinicals who are quite happy with what they are doing now, and actively decided not to go the RN route. It might help you to do some research into the differences between the two, to figure...

4. Nervous About Nursing

   MilieuRN replied to MSBREELEE's topic in General Students

   You may thank yourself in the future is you simply pursue ADN or BSN from the start. Perhaps you could consider a community college (where you can earn ADN), and attend academic coaching or join a solid study group. The least stressed and highest per...

5. Cellulitis Care Plan Help

   MilieuRN replied to preshee92's topic in General Students

   I am a student at this point, but based on what I have learned thus far, pain does indeed have many physiologic implications. The stimulus of pain causes fluctuations of neurotransmitters, which in turn affects blood glucose, respiration (thus ABGs),...

6. Teacher accusation

   MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in General Students

   Firstly, sorry you found my posts difficult to follow. I did include a lot of information (I know I certainly vented a lot). That being said, I'm not sure you got the gist of the entire situation. I do realize that I am not going to jive with every i...

7. Teacher accusation

   MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in General Students

   I did ask her through the first few. She basically read the criteria off of the paper for each "outcome", then told me how she graded me. I did ask how she would have wanted these outcomes to be demonstrated. She simply said, (much in the same way sh...

8. Teacher accusation

   MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in General Students

   Thank you for the wish of good luck, and indeed I should not concern myself with the grades of others. I was glad for the other student's grades, but it is true that I compared mine to theirs. I (still) have to remind myself that nursing school uses ...

9. Teacher accusation

   MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in General Students

   I sincerely do not believe I know more than my instructor, and I'm not entirely sure what part of my post implies that I do? Regarding her judgement of the situation of being committed to the notion that I was rifling through her things and her unwil...

10. Failed Pharmacology

    MilieuRN replied to Molly12's topic in LPN/LVN Students

    Do you have access to ATI? It can be tedious to go through it all and put in the time, but I have found it to be very helpful. If your school offers coaching, I would recommend that as well.

11. Teacher accusation

    MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in General Students

    Update:: This clinical is now over. A few other things did happen that I feel shouldn't have, such as being passively being accused of smoking in the hospital elevator, as well the suggestion that I have ADD, and a statement indicating that she felt ...

12. I hate group projects

    MilieuRN replied to LPNtoRNin2016OH's topic in General Students

    Ugh earlier this semester, I had a presentation that was to make up about 3-5% of my grade. The topics were assigned, and unfortunately, all of the topics that were created for one student a piece were taken, so I had to take a topic I needed a partn...

13. Teacher accusation

    MilieuRN replied to MilieuRN's topic in General Students

    Thank you all for the feedback. I spoke to a school counselor, who is also a Doc with 25+ years of experience, so I would think his perspective will carry weight. He will be talking with the academic advisor regarding my course of action. I also spok...

14. advice on what to do or say to a friend from church

    MilieuRN replied to nurse~in~the~making's topic in Pre-Nursing

    She may not have meant any offense. Loans really are a huge concern, and Nursing School actually DOES take up your free time (and often cuts into your beauty sleep) These days, my weekends consist of studying. All. The. Time. I dream about electrolyt...

15. Teacher accusation

    MilieuRN posted a topic in General Students

    So I have a "situation" with my clinical instructor. This happened last week, and I have purposely waited until now to seek help because I was pretty upset by what had happened. I need some advice on how to handle this situation, as it is a very pecu...
