Hello nurses! I just want to reach out as a new member to ask about RNs who have considered studying medicine. I am in my last year of nursing school and am finding nursing school to be incredibly boring and not stimulating at all. All day long I am ...

Hello everyone! I wanted to post to gather some insight on thoughts about stress. I have not had any major difficulties in NS until now. My programs clinical instructor and professor is starting to make me feel very stressed out to say at least. When...

We have to do this too. Every clinical. I know it sounds silly, but I am a sing songy type of person and have to group things together with either word association or songs/rhymes. I group it in the order of HEAD, Shoulders, knees and toes- and when ...

What you NEED, is to worry about the context of YOUR OWN APA cited papers and NOT a blog, in this case that you CLICKED ON willingly- that I typed on a website that is hardly navigatable on my iPhone, while I attempted to post a post.. to have someon...

You do have a point there! I guess I didn't spend much time thinking that other students may have not been trained prior to nursing school . Good point!

I don't know if you saw any of my other posts, but my major was pre-med for my first two years and I achieved a 4.0 in all of my prerequisite classes. I now have a 3.8 due to taking 19 credit hours for a semester and having to prioritize, but I estab...

Surely I do need to take a look inside. I am not super young, but I feel I am definitely not as mature as I could be. Maybe a bit socially impaired as well. I can own up to that and work on it.. I don't have children, and everyone I go to school with...

This has been established. I agree with you that I am longing to be in a lab somewhere. I guess I just don't know what would interest me because I also enjoy the patient interactions I get. It is almost as if I would be happy in a nurse research sett...

Yes I have! Is the practitioners practice closer to nursing than anything else? I have not studied the curriculum of the practitioner program, o my the MD. I have my associates in general science because I was taking pre med and switched to nursing a...

I think that if I were you and only had advice and suggestions to offer such as "you need a reality check" I just wouldn't say anything at all. Unless I was grumpy and having a series of bad days, only then might I offer advice that isn't respectable...

I must be a crazy person because I didn't know that is how I came off. Lesson learned.

The reason that the answer is C is because of this in my opinion. they stated that the patient was African American- first thing that popped into my head is that she may have a religion that prohibits her from receiving blood transfusions or other em...

I don't agree. If someone in nursing school feels that wiping butts, and cleaning clients is below them, they should not question their career choice. If that were true, everyone I am in school with should. That is CNA work and it doesn't take much t...

Thank you!

I do not think it is right or acceptable for the other students to have a heads up about which CI will teach the classes ahead of time. However, why can't you just stay to yourself and forget about them? They won't bother you if you don't think about...

I agree with you on the fact that people are having trouble understanding me. This seems to happen a lot when I reference this topic. The professions are definitely related. Most of the nursing classes I had to take were also included in the first tw...

I found a cool tip on a RN website about the valves. When the blood Is coming in from the veins, it goes through the valves. First tricuspid, than bicuspid.. because you have to try it before you buy it... silly lol, but true. also remember the super...

I understand where you are coming from and believe that this is a genuine reply. I will take your suggestions into consideration. Thank you for replying.

I fully understand what my patients vital signs mean in connection to their diagnosis.. so much that I would like to be the one making the diagnosis. I feel that your judgement comes from a lack of knowledge of the whole situation. I suppose the imma...

Anyone know how I can delete this thread? The first responses to this thread were very disrespectful, incompetent, simple minded, and down right judgemental. I no longer want to receive notifications from rude judgemental people who presumed from my ...

I agree with you! A two year nursing degree should not take two years. The first semester in clinicals is super boring and made me question if I could even live that way forever. Other nurses on this board seem to think they are superior to those tha...

I meant that going into medical school directly following the completion of my bachelors would leave me stressed financially. Not nursing.

I am thinking about it now. I am aware of the prerequisite courses because l was originally pre-Med before switching to nursing. I switched to nursing because of financial concerns. I realized that going into nursing school after four years in colleg...

I have to laugh at this one. I could never claim to be the smartest person in any room! There are plenty of people who are smarter than myself! I would be foolish to say such a thing! I did not know a thing about nursing before I started, but I feel ...

Wow, I didn't mean to come off that way. I am sorry you interpreted my thoughts about school the way that you did.
