    How are you going to Vote - US

    Shouldn't the poll be locked now, for Allnurses posterity's sake? I've noticed that Obama's numbers here have gone up slightly after the real polls closed. Perhaps some members who voted for Obama...

    Many nurses on depression or anxiety meds?

    I have an unpopular opinion. I've seen so many of my classmates say they've had to go on antidepressants/anxiety meds due to the stress of nursing school. I look at them and think, why is it that...

    Just Opened Acceptance Letter! I'm In!

    Ok, I do have a bit of advice now that I'm almost a year into nursing school. Nursing school is entirely different than your pre-reqs. You are 100% under the nursing program's control. The exams...

    How far do you drive to nursing school?

    It takes me 45 minutes to drive to my nursing school. As far as driving distance, it can be so hard to get into a nursing program, I'd just be grateful while I'm driving that long drive. I have a...

    fear of violence

    Everything is OK at my nursing school. I didn't skip any classes, either. I think I have a heightened perception of threat since I was caught in another shooting lock-down a few years ago. Thank...

    fear of violence

    Hi Nursing Instructors, I'm a nursing student. I'm afraid we could have a violent situation at my nursing school. Conditions seem ripe. Eighty-five percent of our class failed our exam this week....

    Why still IV gtt rates on exams?

    Very recently, I saw an ER with patients boarded in the halls because they were out of rooms. They were out of IV pumps for the patients in the hallways, and the nurses were calculating drip

    Nursing Student annoyed me

    Well, I don't know what the answer is. I just know if the patient was my mother, my loved-one, I'd raise holy hell and tell the staff to figure something out because my loved one isn't going sans...

    Nursing Student annoyed me

    I think there is a significant disconnect and dissonance between what we students have drilled into us in lecture v. what we see in clinicals. And we don't know how to reconcile it yet, as students....

    fear of violence

    Thank you both. I'm calming down about this now. I think I was reacting more to the environment than any specific concern. I may skip lecture this week as the adjusted grades will be posted and...
