1. If you could make everyone a nurse, would you?

   CH080605 replied to pumpkin1984's topic in General Nursing

   NO! Some people just aren't Nurse material! My husband, for example.. God love him.. He just doesn't have the patience and compassion for people that it takes to be a good Nurse. Others are just lazy, incompetent or just plain (for lack of a better...

2. December Class of 2008, check in!

   CH080605 replied to Dublin37's topic in General Students

   I'm in an ADN program at a local community college. I was supposed to graduate in May, but had to repeat Med/Surg semester. I'm in Peds/OB right now, then Psych/Med Surg 2 in fall. Scheduled to graduate in December! :) I'm nervous but excited! ...

3. Have any of you..

   Thanks so much for the encouragement, you guys! :) The ironic thing is, I'll be in my OB/Peds rotation this sem.!

4. Have any of you..

   CH080605 posted a topic in General Nursing

   ...gone through nursing school pregnant? I found out at the end of last semester I'm pregnant, and have decided not to sit out this semester. I'm due in July, so I don't have to worry about taking time off to have the baby next semester, either. :...

5. Transition from Fundamentals to Med-Surg clinical setting

   CH080605 replied to pinkiepie_RN's topic in General Students

   I just got through Med/Surg, and at first I was overwhelmed, too. But if your class is anything like mine, the instructors are extremely helpful and will be there for you when you need them. They won't allow you to do anything you're not qualified ...

6. All White Uniform Dress Code?!!

   CH080605 replied to keludtke's topic in General Nursing

   I'm still in school, and our uniforms are all white. While I do come home with dirt, etc on them, I would imagine it would be there no matter what color uniform I wear. It looks more professional, and the patients tend to look at us differently tha...

10. What would you do first?

    CH080605 replied to eden's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Having just finished taking a test on this, I'd say O2!! We're taught Oxygen first, then Fluids and everything else. Always check your ABC's! :)

    I wish someone would have sat me down and taught me how to study for the tests! You HAVE to study by applying the information. You CAN'T just MEMORIZE! I also found that you can't just sit down and study the night before the test and plan to make ...

    Also, if your uniforms or lab coats do not come with patches on them, be sure to get them right away! It has been a pain to try to get them.

    Shoes are to be completely white. (I bought some Reeboks at Shoe Carnival for $30 - they're really comfortable!) The nursing kit that you buy in the bookstore comes with things you'll need for labs: a foley catheter kit, gloves, tape, a nasogastric...

    I started in August. It's been a wild ride so far, but great at the same time. Good luck to you guys! Hopefully you'll get your letters soon!

15. Medication Check Off!

    CH080605 replied to 3KittiesRN's topic in General Students

    First of all, CONGRATS!! Feels good, doesn't it? We did Meds check off last week. We had to show the different sites for each type of injection, the size needle to use and gauge, and explain how to give them. Then we had to actually administer on...
