  1. Violent Sex Offender on our unit (long)...

    talk to the NM or security, or someone. tell them the situation, just let somebody know what is going on. dont keep quiet. wouldn't that be horrible if something were to happen and you look back and did't say anything. and remeber your first instinct...
  2. Summer Daze

    For all of you students not going to school this summer, what are you doing with your precious time. I am going to give some much needed attention to my house (organizing, spring cleaning), and laze around with my son. i also got a reading list for n...
  3. my nursing theory/foundations class was not very fun either, in fact boring at times. but looking back i appriciate that information. it was the building blocks for my future classes. i wanted to jump in and get to the meat of nursing, but it is help...
  4. Hep B waiver? Sounds fishy

    i had to sign the waiver because i had not completed the last shot before clinicals, but i just completed the series so now next semester i can sign the form for completed series.
  5. Weekly Nursing student chats?

    how would it work; what do you have in mind?
  6. i think that you should go for it if you really want to, but it sounds like you may be having second thoughts about going into nursing. maybe you are thinking that you wouldn't like it and are just focusing on every potential problem that may arise f...
  7. i want to work in the ER at some point. i spent 2 days there in clinicals; the first day i got to be in the trauma bay. that was crazy, exciting; 4 MVA victims. i really enjoyed that, but the 2nd day i was in the other part of the ER (individual room...
  8. What do you look for in a nursing school?

    the community college ADN program that i go to has one of the best records for putting out competent clinical RN's. but with that comes a 3 semester wait list (that should give you time to finish every single one of your pre-reqs). however, the thing...
  9. What was your HARDEST class?

    my pharm. class really sucked. i would do all of the scheduled readings but when it came time to test his answers contradicted the book. when i talked to other students they said they never opened the book, they just studied from the teacher's power ...

  11. Night Work

    i am concerned about night work too. when i get out of school i think i may have to work nights to keep with my son's school schedule. i worked nights for 6 months at another job and hated it. i felt like a zombie; having to sleep when it is still li...
  12. Clinicals in the ER

    Last semester my clinical group got spend the day in the ER. We should have been on the Med-Surge floor, but our instructor was in labor at the same hopital so we got to go to the ER for that day. Our group got to do so many things that we wouldn't h...
  13. i can't stand study groups either. the only way i will go to one is if i feel like being social, because that is all they do is talk about everything other than what we are studying. just say that you dont study best under those circumstances, you kn...

  16. What are the age ranges in your RN class?

  19. Do drs really look down on nurses?

    nurses focus on the nursing scope of practice, and dr's on their own scope. they work togther, but each add their own element to patient care. i am not a nurse yet (will be in 07') but if i do my job to the best of my ability then i could care less i...
  20. That ain't my resident! I am dumbfounded...

    i got a job as a cna as soon as i turned 18, it was about the only job around that paid more than minimum wage and i needed to pay for my new apt. i did not go into it because i truely cared about the people, really i just wanted to pay the bills. an...
  21. Ok maybe a dumb question but.....

    i kinda agree with that last post. it did seem to me in my first semester of clinicals that the PCT's had a hard time not acting like a PCT's and getting to the nursing stuff. i walked past my PCT friend and the nurse she was shadowing and the nurse ...
