  1. School Pretty Much Canceled Clinical

    BSNbound21 replied to Futurenurse7321's topic in General Students

    Not sure why you're complaining about this. Did you want to go to the hospital and use valuable supplies and take up valuable time/space and most likely be exposed to Covid-19? B/c that's what...

  2. Do I have what it takes to succeed in Nursing?

    BSNbound21 replied to Hurricane's topic in General Nursing

    I am halfway through nursing school now and I am doing very well academically. I knew I would, though, b/c I've always been good at school. The reason I think I'll make a good nurse is b/c I was good...

  3. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    BSNbound21 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    She dipped out though. She couldn't handle the science. It is terrifying that there are nurses like her working in intensive care. Imagine the beliefs on standard precautions and whatnot. Yikes....

  4. Patient’s family threatening to report me to BNE

    BSNbound21 replied to GilligansPlace's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds to me like she was sitting around at home, her father called, and she immediately jumped to conclusions without getting any information, falsely assumed she was a better nurse than everyone...

  5. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    BSNbound21 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    I grew up with a girl who has been an ER nurse for a while. She went to a program that is very expensive and kind of known as the place where you can go if you don't get into the other programs....

  6. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    BSNbound21 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Just going to leave this here... it's an EAQ question I came upon while studying for an upcoming

  7. Gloves at all times?

    BSNbound21 replied to Tweety's topic in General Nursing

    Standard precautions do not dictate wearing gloves for passing meds unless one of those meds is an injection or the patient is on contact precaution. It's wasteful (both in time & resources) to...

  8. What to do about DNP and flu shot?

    BSNbound21 replied to Travelingon's topic in General Nursing

    Getting a flu shot isn't about YOU- it's about not giving patients with compromised immune systems the flu. Nursing also should not be about YOU- it's about the patients. If you don't care enough to...

  9. Help! The teacher's answers are different from mine?

    BSNbound21 replied to Beaue's topic in General Students

    This is a stupid easy problem made more complicated by extra info. Here is literally the easiest way to calculate these: 1) Always first calculate how many TOTAL gtts you will be infusing. Well,...

  10. CoWorker using a patient's medication

    BSNbound21 replied to BlondieRN19's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I see people break traffic violations all the time. Do I call the police to report them? No. Do I disagree with it? Yes. You are being very uppity about this. Why would you want to get your co-worker...

  11. Why is BSN required for CRNA?

    BSNbound21 replied to MM1989's topic in General Nursing

    Most CRNA programs worth their salt require at least a year's worth of critical care nursing experience just to apply. A BSN is not, um, easy to obtain. Have you not noticed how hard it is just to...

  12. My Parents are Nurses and Don’t Support My Withdrawal from Nursing School

    BSNbound21 replied to ACR's topic in General Students

    I have a degree in dietetics. If you aren't a science person, do not go down the RD road. The upper level coursework is basically all science, and in order to become an RD, you have to do a didactic...

  13. Nursing Student balance Preventing NCLEX-RN attempt

    BSNbound21 replied to Nursinglife090's topic in General Nursing

    So many questions. 1) How did you get "high honors" with "As and/or Bs"? 2) Like others, why did you remain at a school you when you had no idea how you were going to pay for it? 3) You do understand...

  14. Discussing salary with co workers

    BSNbound21 replied to Dawnkeibals's topic in General Nursing

    I am surprised by these "just don't" responses. Pay rates should not be a secret- this is how pay inequality persists. It is definitely your business what someone with equal tenure, title, and...

  15. Failed By One point

    BSNbound21 replied to amianurse's topic in General Students

    Does your school not allow one retake of a

  16. Problem etiology symptoms nursing diagnosis help

    BSNbound21 replied to brooklyn2448's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Would GBS+ not be an issue for a risk for infection diagnosis? Granted the risk for infection is w/the newborn not the mother. You could focus on the pain/discomfort of labor as an issue and what...

  17. NOW what?? Terrified...

    BSNbound21 replied to erocafeller's topic in Nurses Recovery

    The meds/recreational drugs you are taking/using are affecting your level of consciousness, and that is reason alone for termination regardless of whether or not you have a prescription. I would...

  18. Hepatitis B vaccination

    BSNbound21 replied to seericap's topic in General Nursing

    If you need to prove immunity for school or a job you will have to get a titer. I had the series as a child but am currently about the get the third shot in a second series b/c I am not immune. If...

  19. I HATE nursing school. Now what?

    BSNbound21 replied to namaB's topic in General Students

    I'm in my first semester and LOVE it. However, my instructors are fairly amazing and competent. Yours don't sound as much. Keep in mind that these people are professionally trained nurses not...

  20. Why did you choose that nursing program (current or past)?

    BSNbound21 replied to NurseBlaq's topic in General Nursing

    I applied to my program b/c it's a state university (i.e. inexpensive) that is 15 minutes from my house. I plan to continue my education b/c I eventually want to be a provider, and every job alert...

  21. Not being paid anything for overtime hours worked during orientation. Is this legal?

    BSNbound21 replied to GbabyNurse's topic in General Nursing

    Yaas, girl.

  22. Clinical Question - IUD in 71 year old woman

    BSNbound21 replied to FullGlass's topic in Nurse Practitioners, NP

    It's too bad nobody ever told her that insertion is generally more uncomfortable than removal, seeing as it only involves pulling the thing out by the

  23. Can I take Pre-Reqs for ABSN programs anywhere? at a community college?

    BSNbound21 replied to Jenn23's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Your science courses may have expired if it was over five years ago, so you'll need to check on that. You really need to check directly with the program that you are applying for in regards to what...

  24. Multivitamins and supplements? My vent.

    BSNbound21 replied to brownbook's topic in General Nursing

    I'll weigh in. I have a degree in dietetics. I agree that multivitamins are not necessary when a person has a healthy, balanced diet. The typical American diet is not this, and so for most, taking a...

  25. Student Loans and Debt

    BSNbound21 replied to jnniemeyer's topic in Student Nurse Practitioner

    Very interesting to read all of this. I learned something; thanks for
