  1. Yikes! Congrats for surviving and being exposed to prime example of how NOT to treat students when you are in a teaching position yourself one day.
  2. Pinning Ceremony Music Suggestions

    I'm putting together our slide show and chose "Dream Big"....the song is perfect.
  3. Mental Health Nursing starting in 2wks!

    I loved my Mental Health rotation so much that I am precepting on the MH floor this quarter before graduation and am absolutley loving every minute of it. Enjoy your rotation and remember MH is a different ballgame than Med-Surg. In MH you can't do ...
  4. Wow! That's a heavy load! We turned in our final research paper prior to the start of preceptorships. During preceptorship time we turn in weekly goals with a self evaluation. That's it. We focus on our preceptorship and only our preceptorship.
  5. Made Incredibly Easy books....

    I've found the Made Incredibly Easy series are really helpful adjunct resources for clarification of concepts you are having a hard time grasping from your regular textbooks. I used the Made Incredibly Easy IV and Electrolyte books and they helpded ...
  6. Doesn't anyone raise their hand anymore?

    I agree. Speak up! We are adults. As long as you are polite and don't interrupt your instructor or another student mid-sentence I don't see a problem with it.
  7. What's the correct answer? Why?

    #2. The baby's safety is the first concern. Calling security does not address the safety isssue at THAT moment. By the time one waits for a security guard to arrive the situation could escalate. That would be like waiting for others to arrive bef...
  8. All Done!

    Congratulations to you! A very exciting time and a big accomplishment. I'll be graduating in 4 weeks and, I too, can not beleive 4 years has passed and I made it. My family deserves it as much as I do with all their support and understanding over ...
  9. What to do when... Patient stinks...

    I'd be very careful with the perfume too. As someone who gets very ill (headache/vomiting) from perfume, cheap or expensive, I'd be really upset that it was sprayed on me or even any where near my room. Just as I also think it's highly inappropriat...
  10. What to do when... Patient stinks...

    Oh boy...I can't even BEGIN to tell you how much bad smells bother me. My 2nd quarter of school I was emptying a commode of liquid poop into the toilet and I tryed very hard to hold my breath through the whole thing but it was such a mess it took ex...
  11. May/June grads - preceptorship

    130 hours in my ADN program starting in May. I'll be on the Psych unit.
  12. call it senioritis?

    Well I'm glad I'm not the only one. We have graduation and pinning the beginning of June and I'm all ready in the "I'm finished" mode. After spring break I'm really going to need some motivation.
  13. Friends failing class :(

    We graduate in June too and we just lost a few that were only a few points away. I feel horrible for them...especially with being so close to being finished.
  14. Jeesh....Talk about the clinical instructor making a mountain out of a mole hill! Seriously! Did you endanger a patient? No. Did you endanger your co-workers? No. Why couldn't your clinical instructor just talk to you about it? Would a school fail...
  15. bad day at clincal...

    Sorry to hear you had a rotten day. Boy I can relate... Today was my last day of medsurg clinical ever, before my preceptorship next quarter and graduation in May. I've never made an error in all 2 years until today....of all days!:imbar It was me...
