1. I'm so devastated...

   jarhea replied to jarhea's topic in General Students

   Thanks everyone for the kind words. I really appreciate it. You guys are right, this will be one of the things that I will never forget. I am never ever giving meds without double, triple or quadruple checking...and I will always listen to my gut....

2. I'm so devastated...

   jarhea replied to jarhea's topic in General Students

   I know, even I was surprised by the amount of tears I had and how they just seemed to keep coming. It just scared the h*** out of me enough to make me cry. And I am not a crier!

3. I'm so devastated...

   jarhea posted a topic in General Students

   I almost made my first med error today. I am a level 2 student(out of 5 semesters) and this is my third clincial in med/surg. I wasn't doing anything, so my clinical instructor said one of nurses had something for me to do. And it was to give meds...

4. Anyone else doing the midnight creep???

   jarhea replied to jarhea's topic in General Nursing

   I'm so glad that other people understand the midnight creep! My boyfriend kept telling me, "Just go to sleep." :uhoh21: Like if it was that easy to turn on and off, don't you think I would have been asleep all ready?

5. Anyone else doing the midnight creep???

   jarhea posted a topic in General Nursing

   You know, the one where your significant other is sleeping and you're too wired to go to bed....so you end up creeping around the house?? I should be in bed, but I just can't sleep. Too many thoughts are running through my head. Just had our first cl...

6. "HOW can you do that?!?"

   jarhea replied to jb2u's topic in CNA/MA

   When people first find out that I am in nursing school, I usually get the same question. My response is that we don't hesitate to wipe a baby's bottom, but for some reason it's not the same as wiping an elderly person's bottom. For me, they are one...

7. Tall scrubs

   jarhea replied to Kiren's topic in General Nursing

   I second the Dickies. They are the only tall scrubs that I found that are actually long enough and I'm just over 5'11". The worst feeling in the world for a tall girl is to walk around feeling paranoid about her ankles showing! I go through http:/...

8. To roomate or not to roomate????

   jarhea replied to Nony's topic in General Students

   If you can afford it, I would say no to roommates. I lived with my two best friends for about a year and a half and it did not end good. Needless to say I still have not spoken to one of them. I think in the right situation a roommate would be okay...

9. anyone else going to be a super senior by the time they graduate

   jarhea replied to shock-me-sane's topic in General Students

   I am also in that same position. When I graduate, it will have been six straight years of college! That's undergrad only. I had troubles deciding what I wanted to do with my life, so I ended up being an art major for a number of years, before de...

10. hyphenated last names?

    jarhea replied to jarhea's topic in General Nursing

    Oops, forgot this. Yes, all of my teachers do have their master's degree.

11. hyphenated last names?

    jarhea replied to jarhea's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you for the replies! It makes a lot more sense to me now...:)

12. hyphenated last names?

    jarhea posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi, I have a question. This may seem silly, but here goes. I've noticed at my nursing school, we seem to have an abundance of instructors with hyphenated last names. Four out of the five instructors listed on one of my papers had hyphenated last n...

13. You know you've been in nursing school too long when...

    jarhea replied to Lurksalot's topic in General Students

    ...when I sit down next to an elderly gentleman, and immediately start to assess him out of the corner of my eye. Oh, and I also start reviewing my cpr skills just in case...

14. Help! What to do about tuition!

    jarhea replied to TiredStudentNurse07's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry, how stressful for you. If I were you, I would just suck it up and go for the loans. Trust me, I'm surviving off loans this semester and loving it. I've never been able to fully concentrate on school, without having to work to pay the...

15. active student nursing organisations

    jarhea replied to love-d-OR's topic in General Students

    We have the same problem, low attendance. Usually if we can get a speaker to come in, that helps. Quite a few people showed up for the CRNA speaker, a little less for the flight nurses. If you can get some a few specialty nurses to come in, it's w...
