  8. Older students biased against younger students?

    I am one of the "older" ones, at age 46, and my current lab partner is in her early 20's. I have been a nurse longer than she, but I value her insight and her thoughts. She's a smart gal, and I...
  9. Fax doc ONLY labs?

    OK, here's my delimma. We are ONLY to fax our facility doc labs, and he will call the facility between the hours of 5p-5:15p for any other information. Now, personally, I am not ok with this. I work...
  10. Somebody answer: Hep B Series

    I declined mine for nursing school. I have had the series before, but didn't have documentation. I didn't have any records either, but had titers drawn, and that was sufficient for nursing school....
  11. Forgetting to chart PRN narcotics or other PRN meds

  22. Anything but a Nurse!

    [quote=L&DWannabe;3502454}...I'm not going to give up something I want to do just because some people don't like it. What to do? You've just answered your own question.
  23. Injections practice?

    There are manniquens at schools to use.... But I had to giggle because my husband let me use him to practice "almost" everything on while I was in school.... he was such a good sport! LOL! I didn't do...
