   sl0352 posted a topic in General Nursing

   Good evening! I am a recent graduate (March 2020) and have a relatively short tenure on my current position. I received a job offer for a position on a Geriatric Rehabilitation unit. Currently, I work on an acute medicine unit which also functi...

2. Sent home from clinical

   sl0352 replied to sl0352's topic in General Students

   I agree, but regardless, I still have to make the say up... My group informed me that this matter was discussed at post-conference (which I found weird), and my instructor felt bad for that happening. I wrote them their journal, will make up the day,...

3. Sent home from clinical

   sl0352 replied to sl0352's topic in General Students

   I agree, but that is what the course leader is driving unfortunately. I did offer to take my coffee break early to go and research it, but they did not bite. So they said to write a journal and make up later, I am just unsure if I will have a futur...

4. Sent home from clinical

   sl0352 posted a topic in General Students

   Good morning, I was sent home from clinical this morning due to not being fully versed about a surgery that my patient had completed. I understand the rationale of being aware. I was required to revisit the hospital yesterday as my initial patient ...

5. I don't enjoy going to clinical

6. lateral violence in nursing school

   sl0352 replied to SugarPlumIce87's topic in General Students

   I don't think that is normal for nursing schools. I do think that nursing schools are made for beginners, those of us who have no medical backgrounds. That kind of behaviour should be reported, and quite frankly, the ladies and gentlemen who are bull...

7. How old is too old to begin nursing?

   sl0352 replied to hramach's topic in School Programs

   Congratulations on this choice! It is better to be a nurse at 61 than wishing you were a nurse at 61. If you have the opportunity to do it, as well as the drive to work at it, go for it! S

8. I don't enjoy going to clinical

   sl0352 replied to sl0352's topic in General Students

   I think that is true... You hear a lot of people being so excited for clinical, and I worry because I am just not excited. In fact, there are a few people in my clinical group who dislike going as much as I do... But you are right about it being a le...

9. I don't enjoy going to clinical

   sl0352 posted a topic in General Students

   Hey! I am in my first year of actual nursing school, and mostly through my first clinical experience. We began in a care home, which I did not enjoy. We are in the hospital now, but I just don't feel excited going. I really enjoyed the patient I had ...
