    How to Deal With a Bad Clinical

    Luchador replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    I'm not bragging. It's a simple fact that clinical this semester is changing diapers and giving showers. You know, CNA work. Hopefully things will get more

    "Hallway admissions" at overcrowded ED, and professional risks of RNs talking to press

    Luchador replied to klone's topic in General Nursing

    Whistle blower laws would clearly protect her. Just being quiet, drinking the management Kool-Aid and taking **** when your administration runs a facility in a way that makes it dangerous is not a...

    How to Deal With a Bad Clinical

    Luchador replied to missnursingstudent19's topic in General Students

    That sounds horrible. What semester are you in? I am in my first semester and it is boring as hell. B O R I N G. I'm an EMT and a CNA and this is just a huge time sink with nothing useful. I...

    OB class makes me depressed...

    Luchador replied to erikathered's topic in General Students

    Ug. My wife and I never wanted kids. Breast feeding? Did they have a part in that lecture how the women now have stress incontinence for the rest of their lives? That's downright magical. Every couple...

    Back To School Night

    Luchador replied to stephrooth's topic in School

    When I was a teacher the first thing I would say is-- "If you don't believe everything your kid says about me, I won't believe everything they say about you." Always got laughs and broke the

    Medical Response?

    Luchador replied to firedupnursing70's topic in General Nursing

    As an EMT-B I damn near worked this scenario minus the age. 67 year old playing basketball in a gym. Collapses. AED in the gym. People grab it and put it on him. We showed up right after the first...

    Rant. Questions are killing me!

    Luchador replied to broughden's topic in General Students

    Ya. I'm in my first semester and these "critical thinking" questions are simply poorly written and vague. I know because I was a teacher for quite a few years. We had a question in the last test that...

    Luchador replied to hopefulRN31's topic in General Students

    Congrats!! I just started this semester. I wouldn't buy anything until after orientation. I bought two sets of new scrubs and ordered the required patch and had them sewed on before I went. At...

    How to Ace Nursing Fundamentals courses?

    Luchador replied to FutureNurseInfo's topic in General Students

    That's all I do. You will find the hard part is not the knowledge exactly, although that does come in. The questions are supposed to be "critical thinking" but what that actually means is they are...

    Nursing school at 38?

    Luchador replied to Elle7745's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Of course it's not too late. But it's a long road. I would try for an associate's RN program. It will take you a year or two to get through pre-reqs and then two years of school after that. And...

    Are all agencies this messed up?

    Luchador posted a topic in General Nursing

    A little background- I'm a former high school teacher and EMT-B with lots of ambulance experience that recently started RN school at a community college. I applied to two places. One of them required...

    New nurse and I had a breakdown at work

    Luchador replied to KB4848's topic in General Nursing

    I would get some documentation that you need help or something to cover your ass. There are quite a few threads on this forum about new nurses being fired during preceptorship. I'm not sure what...

    Are all agencies this messed up?

    Luchador replied to Luchador's topic in General Nursing

    And consider this-- even if they weren't trying to bully me into going to work intoxicated, they were asking me to work a 36 hour shift because I would have had to work my scheduled shift right after...

    I don't have any real advice, other than to say, **** that job and those people. Good on you for taking your vacation and sticking up for yourself. In my experience, people don't quit jobs, exactly,...

    A&P/Microbiology.. Help!!!!!

    Luchador replied to Missfuturenurse19's topic in General Students

    There is no planet in the galaxy where micro should be easier than A/P. A/P is just a **** ton of rote memorization. It's all about putting in time with flash cards. Micro is chem and biochem and a...

    My school plan and my anxiety

    Luchador replied to Meow278's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    We are lucky around here because there are community colleges that offer "non-traditional" programs where all the classes are at night and the clinicals are on the weekends. The for-profit ones cost...

    My school plan and my anxiety

    I would skip the for profit schools and look into a community college. It will take a little longer but it will be far cheaper and you will most likely start out as a better
