  7. The Patient I Failed

    Sadly, it happens every day. It is so very hard for some to just let go. Most of the time, these people don't understand the physiology of the body and dying. A well written article. Thank you for...

  10. My school uses the same thing. I have read so many bad reviews on ERI and we have to pass the same test to graduate in two weeks. They gave us a reveiw book to use and we have to watch the videos...
  11. Paramedic before finishing nursing school?

    I am a former Paramedic and I agree with all the above posts. I got burned out, had a back injury and nowhere to go and nothing to do. Nobody would hire me even with my background, not because of...

  14. RN and EMT

    My experience is since I have been away from the ambulance setting for so long now, I know what I can and can't do and the adrenaline doesn't take over so much. I'm much calmer in the hospital setting...
  15. ERI Exit exam

    Jasper, I'm right there with you. It's nothing but a way to give the instructors a break and putting the blame on somebody else. If the pass/fail ratio's are bad, look at the instructors or the...
  16. Piedmont Tech Greenwood SC

    I like York Tech okay but there are a few things that could be better. One is that you have to have an 80 to pass. We just lost about 9 students who were only a few points away. Some of these...

  20. Hello, I am a nursing student. I do not think that what you told this student was anyway inappropriate. If there was some type of emergency or need to keep using his cell phone while you are...

  22. Best Care Plan Books

    Hi, I am looking for the same thing. If you go to the "Student's" section on Allnurses, you will find many threads about nursing care plan books. I found many links on there. You can also search...
  23. I can sympathize with all of you on this one. What gets me is when I go in to ask the patient if he/she would like a snack, drink, ect and the whole family (all fourteen of them) tell me that they...
  24. Sent home from clinicals :(

    Earle58, I am proud of you for standing up for yourself and refusing to go home. Sometimes, you just have to stand your ground. Do they send home every nurse that misses something every single time?...
