  1. medication error

    blueyesue replied to py2010's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    IMHO if you wait hours to report it then it is no longer "just" a med error but something more serious. ALWAYS report immediately when you notice an error. Your patient's health is worth saving more...

  4. Failing Nursing School(Life Story)

    blueyesue replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    I second talking to the teachers. You can also talk to your advisor, and you can visit your campus academic help center. DON'T let yourself get too far in a rut. Get help before nothing will help....

  6. WHY IS THIS SO HARD??? (I kid, I kid)

    blueyesue replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    We are all students and we are all learning. Don't give up. I have cried quite a few times already. Go ahead and let the tears flow, but make sure you pick yourself back up and continue this

  7. WHY IS THIS SO HARD??? (I kid, I kid)

    blueyesue replied to Texasstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    Each school runs things a bit differently. If you are worried you can look at their NCLEX passing rate for some assurance. I bet it will all smooth out soon. In the beginning there were a few things...

  8. Terrible clinical site!

    blueyesue replied to KianaM's topic in General Students

    Your pursuit of nursing was not based upon the nurses in your clinical. Therefore, your decision to continue or not shouldn't be based on them either. Best of luck to

    blueyesue replied to nursegc's topic in General Students

    Think of nursing school as an actual part of your life that you can't change or fix. It is something you just have to walk through and do your best to come out on the other end. It is not a separate...

  12. Student Nurse Question

    blueyesue replied to Annor12's topic in General Students

    Also, the nurse doesn't know how bright the lights are in the patient's home. If they have 60 watt bulbs and switch to 100 watt it could pose a fire hazard. Maybe I'm over thinking this.

  13. Student Nurse Question

    blueyesue replied to Annor12's topic in General Students

    I would go with A because it states "sensory losses" and bright lights is only dealing with one sensory loss. Both answers (A and C) assume some kind of sensory loss that is not experienced by all...

  20. Volunteer vs. Shadowing

    blueyesue replied to NursingDreamsS's topic in General Nursing

    Contact your local hospital and sign up for shadowing. I did it and it only reinforced my interest in nursing. You can always volunteer after shadowing if you want. I too waited to get into nursing. I...
