1. Need help deciding to go from social work to nursing

   Kaileeia replied to socialworkertonurse's topic in General Nursing

   No matter what anyone says, age is just a number. If you feel up to it, then do what your heart wants. You're never too old to make yourself happy. Hey, the good thing is, if it doesn't work out, you DO have something great already to fall back on.

2. Finding Balance

   Kaileeia replied to Nursey103's topic in General Nursing

   I had a family member get after me about dishes being piled up and my bedroom being a mess. So I simply stated, "if you do not like what you see, turn back around and walk out the door you just came through!" IMHO, nursing school is almost like a ful...

3. Do you agree that Nurses are on the Worst Driver List?

   Kaileeia replied to rn4ever?'s topic in General Nursing

   That is pretty cool. The government worker one, I can see that for sure. I have plenty of military friends who lack in the driving department lol!

4. Those experienced in taking blood pressure, I'M DESPERATE!!

   Kaileeia replied to leavingthisblank's topic in General Nursing

   The lady that had taught me how to do BP, said that sometimes people can hear something all the way to the end, but the lower number is when you actually hear a change in the way it sounds. I agree with hburatti85 though, ask your teacher how they ar...

5. The National Health Service - how do other countries provide care???

   Kaileeia replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

   My Mom is American and had no health insurance, lol. Her stupidity though! Oh and she was living in Pictou, Nova Scotica at the time.

6. The National Health Service - how do other countries provide care???

   Kaileeia replied to snoopy29's topic in General Nursing

   I am American, so it's sort of funny... When I was 17, I went to Canada for a month. I remember my Mom who had been living there for years, got sick and needed to pay $500 out of pocket to be seen at the emergency room. Then when I went to England, I...

7. Frustratingly Obnoxious People.....*vent*

   Kaileeia replied to OhioCCRN's topic in General Nursing

   Kinda in the same boat. Where are a few girls in one of my classes that never shut up. I have never heard that much bad language in one sitting even. I had gotten late to class on the first day (they sent me to the wrong building, whilst I was early)...

8. Take the IV out... yourself.

   Kaileeia replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

   lol, it's okay. :] I signed the papers after the nice one helped me. :] I never saw "BlankieRN" again. :] I had the IV for being really dehydrated. No, fun, but such is life, hey? I am just glad I rarely get sick! My son on the other hand... it seem...

9. Take the IV out... yourself.

   Kaileeia replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

   Also, I would like to add... I am glad I am not the only one who has been in this situation. The nurse that helped me take it out, was absolutely sweet. She felt bad that the other nurse had done that. Lesson learned for me however; If you're in the ...

10. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Kaileeia replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

    Yeah they did. So I signed it after the other nurse had taken the IV out.

11. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Kaileeia replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

    I never said anything to her. I was just waiting and watching. Only thing I can think of was when I sighed from being tired. And no need to apologize. :] Everyone reads into things differently. Yes, I did file a complaint.

12. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Kaileeia replied to Kaileeia's topic in General Nursing

    Never! I wouldn't want someone to do damage to themselves from something that could of easily been taken care of quickly.

13. Take the IV out... yourself.

    Kaileeia posted a topic in General Nursing

    So, I spent some time in the emergency room. Turns out I strep throat, so that's why my fever was being cruddy and throat getting worse. I never honestly get sick and the one time I do... it's not so pretty. Funny thing is, I am also a nursing studen...

14. Do Nurses Get Vacations Every Year

    Kaileeia replied to CanCan's topic in General Nursing

    We're in the same boat, I read this too, haha! I think I am tired though. Too much studying from school... zzzz...

15. Tidewater Community College

    Kaileeia replied to NursingStudent08's topic in Virginia

    Really?! They didn't give me any problems at all. Just a big run around on stupid paperwork! lol. Maybe I have one up on being a single Mom and that's why they haven't given me too many problems.
