    Clinical rotations but never worked in a hospital

    clemmm78 replied to OURN83's topic in General Students

    Not only had I never had any experience in any hospital setting, I had a tendency to faint at the sight of blood. :-) Twenty three years later, I still have my RN and I do fine. In fact, I don't...

    Working through a Temp Agency

    clemmm78 replied to spoiledbrat0627's topic in General Nursing

    I worked as an RN in a temp agency. I think it's a good idea if you are an experienced nurse or you need to work here and there, or you aren't sure of what you want to dp, but if you want steady full...

    Put On Probation for Clinical

    clemmm78 replied to luv2shopp85's topic in General Students

    Well, this is an important issue so I would hope that the instructor does do this. Putting a med in an incompatable solution could cause serious injury. As for the other issues from the OP, is there...

    Why does it seem like nurses are one way or the other?

    clemmm78 replied to NurseyTonyaLPN's topic in General Nursing

    Is there any RN who never made a mistake?

    clemmm78 replied to ICUMish's topic in MICU, SICU

    Well, I'm quite experienced and I have made a very serious error. Thankfully, all turned out ok but I never forgot it. I take full responsibility for the error, I know how and why it happened. But I...

    RN's who cannot insert IV's being Fired???

    clemmm78 replied to maidy's topic in General Nursing

    I learned IVs on the job when nurses here were only starting to get the right to start them on the floors (early 1980s). I had incredible sympathy for nurses who just couldn't do it. Starting an IV is...

    Please be nice to medical students

    clemmm78 replied to cantor2537's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately, there are people like that in every profession. When I worked in the hospital, I saw it sometimes and it drove me nuts. There is also the reverse though. I've had med students and...

    Nervous Wreck- Help!!!!

    clemmm78 replied to windchaser's topic in General Nursing

    I have a tremor that, oddly enough, rarely shows up at work. It could be that the stress of doing these things in the lab are aggravating it. I know my tremor greatly increases when I'm in a situation...
