1. Nina Pham and/or Amber Vinson

   Clear Morning replied to logank622's topic in COVID

   My heart goes out to them both. BUT, yes she had a temp of 99.6 when she got on the plane. Not a fever, but this is an elevated temperature. What was her temperature when she got off the plane? Temps can spike in minutes. With an elevated temperature...

2. Still Uncomfortable

   Clear Morning replied to Clear Morning's topic in Critical

   Well, it's been a while, but I stuck it out. I have to say I have learned so much and continue to do so. I guess it just took a while to start feeling confident, but I can honestly say I have come a long way since this post. Actually, I barely rememb...

3. Does anybody know anybody that has been pregnant in nursing program?

   Clear Morning replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

   I forgot to add that my sister already had a 10 month old, so it was almost like having twins.

4. Does anybody know anybody that has been pregnant in nursing program?

   Clear Morning replied to Mchs4735's topic in General Students

   It can be done. I have frequently seen women having babies throughout nursing school. My sister had a baby the first week of her 3rd semester (had baby on Friday, back in class on Tuesday). Not ideal, but can be done. Of course the more support peop...

5. Still Uncomfortable

   Clear Morning posted a topic in Critical

   Hi everyone. I have been an ICU nurse for a year and a half now. Prior to that I have 2 years med/surg experience. I am questioning whether I should stay in ICU or hang up my hat and find another area of nursing. I had a patient code last week. The ...

6. I think cutsey scrub tops look ridiculous on adult units

   Clear Morning replied to AZO49008's topic in Uniform/Gear

   I prefer simple looking scrubs in solid colors. Personally, I could give two sh***s what kind of prints or colors others choose to wear.

7. For all of you Nurses out there...

   Clear Morning replied to aaaa's topic in General Nursing

   That last semester of nursing school is tough but it will be over before you know it. As far as your confidence level goes, once you start working you'll start feeling it about 6 months in to your first job. Nursing school can be horrible but is in n...

8. On the call light like a Jeopardy buzzer

   Clear Morning replied to Manatee111's topic in General Nursing

   I had the same problem with a patient not long ago. Not only was she on the call light but she yelled and hollered out all night, disturbing all the patients in the hall, even after two doses of Ativan. The next day we asked a family member to stay t...

9. Nashville State CC- UGH!

   Clear Morning replied to f1ourish's topic in Tennessee

   I am so sorry to hear of all the trouble you've had! I did all my pre-reqs at Vol State and am currently a second year nursing student through their TSU program. I haven't had any trouble here at all. Maybe you could come to VSCC for your second se...

10. Have you ever worn scrubs off the job?

    Clear Morning replied to Wanna_BA_Nurse's topic in Uniform/Gear

    I have noticed a lot of the teachers at my son's daycare (mostly infant classrooms) have begun to wear scrubs. I imagine they get a lot of baby fluids on their clothes.

    May 2009 baby!!!!

12. The little things no one tells you!

    Clear Morning replied to somnambulant's topic in General Students

    Not sure if you have kids or other family living with you, but my advice would be to study at the library before or after class versus studying at home. It is so easy to get distracted with things at home that need your attention and before you know ...

13. So it begins.....

    Clear Morning replied to okchug's topic in General Students

    I am starting my second year this fall and was about to say that a rolling back pack is a must; but I may have to give the de-binding thing a try. Great idea!

14. VA Nursing

    Clear Morning replied to ijuanabhappy's topic in General Nursing

    I had clinicals at the VA in Nashville for the my first two semesters and they regularly hire new grads. Also many of the nurses working there have been there for many years and say it is a great place to work. I guess things may be different from ...

15. For mothers in NS!!!

    Clear Morning replied to NICUplease's topic in General Students

    I am fortunate to have family nearby and also my husband is self employed which helps if one of my kids are sick. However, our instructers are understanding if you or your child are sick. Of course you want to avoid missing class if you can help it,...
