  1. No She/he Did Not!!!

    No they didn't... make fun of the patient for how he got his injury while they thought he was asleep! Um, he wasn't...and he told us all about
  2. Don't feel ready!

    First of all, take a deep breath...and then realize that at one point or another, we have all been in the same boat! Skills lab is nothing at all like working on a real patient. And the good thing...
  3. You know you're a nursing student when...

    ...you are the only one in your family that finds it amusing that on clinical days, you use Secret Clinical Strength antiperspirant/deodorant. ...you find yourself putting meaning to the letters in...
  4. Knees hurt after a day of clinical!

    Amen to that! Good shoes and comfy socks are the way to go. Also, if you can't afford to get a really good pair of shoes, at least get yourself some good shoe insoles (can't think of the right word,...
  5. My fiance doesn't understand!!

    Even the most understanding of spouses (of which I have one; I'm a lucky girl) will not fully understand what you are going though in NS (unless, of course, they have done it themselves). I agree with...
  6. Can you guys please help? So sick of this...

    That's just what I feel in my heart. I wanted to respond to you the way I would have responded to myself. There have been sooooo many struggles along the way. I'm still going through a ton....
  7. Can you guys please help? So sick of this...

    yuyu75, I'm glad you decided to post here because you sound a lot like me! I am 32, nearing the end of my first year of NS, and before I started back to school I was a stay-at-home (my boys are now 6...
  8. Pathophysiology??

    Daytonite is always a great resource when it comes to care plans. She's helped me more than once, even when it hasn't been one of my
  9. Pathophysiology??

  10. Pathophysiology??

  11. Can you help me with a test question?...

    I can see where you're confused, but this is the way I'm looking at it. You could speak in a calm tone to avoid anxiety, but what exactly would you be talking about? "Mr. Jones, what kind of cheese...
  12. No She/he Did Not!!!

    No she did not... ask me if I was pregnant, too, while we were assisting in a vag delivery today! No, I'm not pregnant. Haven't been for over four years. :no::no: This was a brand new LVN who asked...
  13. Help with Care Plans

    Daytonite - I wanted to let you know I received full points for my care plan that you helped me with (I needed a nursing dx for a healthy newborn). Thank you again for all of your
  14. Infuriating Responses To Questions

    I totally agree. My current clinical instructor is great; she won't lead you to the answer, but instead she'll get you there via your critical thinking. I really appreciate that. What I don't like,...
  15. What's the best gift from a patient?

    I'm in my L&D clinical rotation in school, and yesterday I was helping with a G1, P0 mom. She was in a lot of pain (they couldn't get an epidural in her, although they tried and tried), young,...
  16. Do you know the right answer?

    I don't know...maybe find that pt's nurse and tell them to check on their pt? I'm going to be wracking my brain all day on this

    I bet you're glad he's an ex!!!
  18. Need some prayers....

    My sympathies to your friend and her
  19. Online nursing education

    Sorry, I can't help you much on that, either. The only advice I can give you is to consider how far you want to go in your degree. If you choose to go on past Univ. of Phx or Kaplan (I don't know...

    Daytonite, you're awesome! Thanks for the
  21. Help with Care Plans

    So far I haven't had much trouble w/ care plans and I've always done relatively well on them. This one, though, I'm having a bit of trouble coming up w/ a dx for a pt. We have just started our OB...
  22. Pre-Nursing student.Unsure

    I agree with doeRAYmee. NS is tough, and at times you may not feel like you can make it. But as long as you take it one day at a time, you should be okay. To me, it's also been a big difference in...
  23. drug compuatation specially in i.v

    Find out how many mls you need to administer, and then also how many hours you have to administer that total amount. For example: You have 1000 ml of Kool-Aid, to administer over 10 hours. The drip...
  24. Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do
