    OB nursing is not my thing

    Well, I think we should all be permitted a rotation that we just don't like or get into much without feeling like crud. For me, I suspect that will be peds or OB. Honestly, I'll probably go through...

    Carrying all that stuff to clinicals . . .

    I buy scrub pants with plenty of deep pockets. That's where I put my scissors, penlight, pen, alcohol wipes, and car keys. All I carry is my clipboard and drug book. I just set the drug book down...

    Study Groups Necessary???

    I've never been in a study group. So far, I have a 4.0 in nursing school. I learn best studying on my own. On two occasions, I have gotten together with classmates on the verge of failing out....

    How do they get people with contractures in a casket?

    the ashes in the urn are the remains of the whole person, bones and soft-tissue. after cremation in the retort (burning), much of the larger bones remain in tact. the bones that remain intact are...

    How do they get people with contractures in a casket?

    Speaking of the deceased and braking bones...do you all want me to talk about how cremated remains end up powdery and can fit into an urn? Hint, the remains come out of the retort (hot cremation...

    Which MCCCD ADN Waitlist

    I'll be applying in about two-three months. I live in Tucson. I'm just not familiar with the community colleges or even their locations. (Ok, so I know Scottsdale is north LOL). I know it's hard to...
  7. Recently, I had a patient in an isolation room on contact precautions due to MRSA. So I could not bring my clipboard and assessment forms into the patient's room. We don't have computer charting in...

    My mom just passed away....

    I am so sorry for your loss. You need to take care of yourself right now. I have to think if your instructors knew your mother just passed away - they would give you extensions on those assignments....

    Stool sample for Micro class?????

    OK, I'd have a problem with my classmates seeing the shape, color, and form of my product of defecation. That's private. It's different in the hospital setting when we see patients' poo because we...

    Stool sample for Micro class?????

    I don't know why, but I assumed that the students were to bring in an itsy bitsy tiny smear on some culture media. If the students had to bring in a bulk sample - ugh. Then I take back what I said...

    Stool sample for Micro class?????

    yikes. :chuckle that sounds similar to the code brown i had in clinical recently. i guess what i was trying to say is get over the related to

    Stool sample for Micro class?????

    I'm sure as a pre-nursing student, I would have been horrified by this. Now, as a nursing student, I've seen and cleaned up so much poop, etc, I don't really care about an itsy-bitsy sample for micro...

    What makes NS so hard?

    For me the hard part of nursing school is the clinicals. I know I'll do a good job clinically after I graduate. It's being watched and judged by the clinical instructors that *wigs* me out. It's...

    WHY do we need more nurses

    I agree. This has been my experience in clinicals as well. I was a bit uneasy about how I'd be treated by nurses going into my clinicals - just from reading the horror stories on this board. I'm...

    Do you have to carry all your books??

    I brought my textbooks to campus one day - the first day of nursing school. Never again. If I'm reading out of the textbooks, it's at home. Otherwise, I'm studying off of my notes and...

    What is your stress relief during nursing school?

    Yes. You know you are a nursing student when you use phrases like "as evidenced by" in conversation. Stress relief for me...aerobic exercise and weight lifting in the AM and yoga in the

    Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    steph, i know you don't think your type of scenario is a reason for universal healthcare, and i understand and respect that. i was just addressing your statement that if something happens, you'll...

    Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    Steph, I admire your adamant intent to pay for your own medical expenses. I know what you mean, about negotiating, and cash discounts, too. I do the same with my $5000 deductible health insurance...
  23. Wow, that sounds
  24. This will vary by area and job market, but you may be able to work as a public health nurse. I know the health dep't in my county welcomes new grads with BSNs. I still wonder, though, how well a...

    Do You Want Universal Healthcare?

    That's if you are fortunate enough to have insurance. If you do not have insurance coverage and cannot qualify for medicaid (government coverage for the very poor), then you have to pay for all of...
