  5. Why So Many Unhealthy Nurses?

    Are you unhealthy? I am still a student and today our instructor was telling us about nurses being one of the most unhealthy groups overall with weight issues, etc. She said "The docs get it and try...
  6. Anyone going to AORN Congress?

    I found out as a student that I can attend for free, just pay travel and hotel, etc. A deal I can't pass up by any means! Anyone else headed there? Any advice from people who have attended

  8. Um I think you are missing the point. I am not apologizing, she should have been written up! She should not have even taken the BP on that arm per doc orders that were posted in room rather...
  9. Yes, it was noted on her chart AND on the whiteboard in large letters above her bed. So yes, that was thought of by all. I understand everyone has their own ways of doing things but when it is...
  10. Thanks. I think you are right on the attitude a bit, she was young. How is explaining to someone how to do something correct overreacting? I was very careful how I worded things and did not say "Hey...
  11. Accepted!

  12. No Longer a Student :(

    It can be done. I think firstly I would see if counseling were available to help you learn why you can't keep calm and your emotions in check during class/clincial. It can only help if you ask me. In...

    First year was a little hard. I was sleep deprived but just pushed myself to continue and ALL of my class made it through the first year!! Class & Clinical for first year is 4 days a week first...

  16. Retire by 30, thanks nursing!

    Dave Ramseys is one way and there are others. I just finshed his book and hadn't read it before reading of the other ways (I actually bought it after doing a web search for debt snowball). I think...
  17. HELP!! Rivier College Admissions!!

    I think either option you choose you would have your ADN and RN licensure in three years. I know to do year 4 of the BSN you actually graduate the year prior with ADN and sit for boards.... So you...

  20. LPN test for Mass RN Student and jobs

    Pretty confusing eh? I went thru the same stuff when I wanted to work in MA. Their rules (MA) state you have to have graduated from a program and where the LPN is only halfway, you haven't...
  21. What's Your Best Nursing Ghost Story?

  22. Just got tragic news. A nurse friend- she just graduated last year with honors, well her boyfriend hung himself last night while she was on the phone talking to him. It happened at his work and I am...
  23. What is the LNA training like?

    Nah, A&P is hard but just a lot of memorization really and no reason you can't start that now. I remember doing the planes of the body, the muscle movements (knowing what is flexion, extension,...
