  1. Scared Of Poop!!!!!!!!! Help!!!!!!!

    Ok, maybe someone here can help me with my poop problem. I am almost always totally fine with cleaning poop of off people, changing diapers, beds, whatnot. Just doesn't bother me that much. But when I have to take a bedpan/commode into the bathroom ...
  2. Mrs Butter fingers@Your Service.

    I have a serious, chronic case of the Butterfingers. That, and I spill stuff allll the time (especially orange juice). It's not a problem at work. I just tend to take extras of stuff into rooms so I don't have to go back to the supply room when I dro...
  3. Volunteer in the ED

    would that stuff be acceptable in the US? not a chance!! guess that's one benefit to being over there. :uhoh21:
  4. Hate nursing school, please help

    I feel for ya, too. I just finished my first semester of a direct-entry masters (FNP track, but I want to change to ACNP), and I'm also frustrated with the amount of "fluff", busy work, etc. I'm getting an MSN - the "S" stands for SCIENCE, doesn't it...
  5. PCA jobs for students

    Hmm, i really do wonder what I am doing wrong - I haven't even been able to get anyone from HR to even return a call, so I can see that they recieved/forwarded my application! Which makes it very difficult to know what is really going on. SOOOOO frus...
  6. PCA jobs for students

    Hi I'm just finished with my first semester of a direct-entry MSN program (3 semesters of which is getting your RN) and I want a job for next semester as a PCA or student extern/co-op. There are *tons* of these positions listed on the hospitals' webs...
  7. oral liquid potassium is bitter

    Maybe the patient prefers it that way, or is fluid-restricted, or there is some other reason not to have mixed it. Lots of possibilities.
  8. JHU interview

    Howdy I was an applicant this time last year - applied to a bunch of direct entry-MSN and BSN-MSN programs, including Hopkins. I had my interview on the phone; they offered one to me in person but I don't live in the area and couldn't get down there....
  9. Do you have Nurse Aides?

    The medical floor i just finished clinicals on does primary nursing - no aides, no LPNs. Each RN gets (usually) 4 patients all to themselves... well, there are usually some of us nursing students around! The RNs I've talked to really like the format....
  10. Kindred Hospital

    no experience with Kindred from a nursing perspective, but my grandmother was a patient there for a while in FL. not a good situation at all - dirty, bad ventilation system (place just reeked of mildew), waaaaay understaffed, o2 was broken, bedside ...
  11. The Largest Student Loan Actually PAID OFF!

    well, i guess i'm one of those taking on "large" debt... and i thought i was doing pretty well. here's my story: $5k in subsidized stafford loans from undergrad (i have a BS and an MS in other fields) - not currently accruing interest right now, i'...
  12. Grrr.... more mis-info about DE MSNs not getting enough clinical hours. I live in a city with 4 DE masters' programs, and at least 6 ADN or BSN programs. And guess what - the pre-RN clinical hours for all 10 are the same!! My school also has an RN t...
  13. Where are all the Direct Entry students???

    Hi from another DE student. I'm just finishing up my first semester of a 6-semester program.
  14. Nurse w/ICD

    I would not disclose this to co-workers - there is just no need to. However, if you don't wear one already, I would get a medic-alert bracelet or necklace. That way if something should happen / you need help, folks could tell what was going on. Just ...
  15. MGH accepted students...

    Does anyone know if it's possible to visit MGH before the deposits are due? I know I can go and wander around on my own, but it would be awfully nice if there was an open-house type thing BEFORE i send them $300!
