  1. Ok, silly/strange uniform question...

    fleur-de-lis replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    fleur-de-lis replied to LovesGreyhounds's topic in General Nursing

  3. hospice care

    fleur-de-lis replied to yatyu's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Does the nurse usually bring up the topic of hospice? It was my understanding that the Dr usually did, unless that family asks, but I guess it differs depending on the situation. Some families are...

  5. Non-English speaking patients

    fleur-de-lis replied to 1Tulip's topic in General Nursing

    I honestly felt the same way until my mom moved to south texas a few miles from the border, and i had the pleasure to meet many of the folks there. Many of these people do not have the resources to...

  6. How do you learn to give injections?

    fleur-de-lis replied to tigress_8207's topic in General Students

    Rubber butts, I love that! We had the injection pads, which once they have been stuck a million times are not like skin at all. I wish we had got to practice on each other, our school won't allow...

  12. Need advice - bail on my accelerated BSN for an ADN?(long)

    fleur-de-lis replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    I think the 2 C rule is ridiculous also. In our summer session we would giggle and write C = RN on the chalk board before every dosage test, until someone clued us in about this rule! Sure, you could...

    fleur-de-lis replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    fleur-de-lis replied to fleur-de-lis's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks all for the advice. The more I think and talk thru this, the more I think ADN is the way to go. I already have a BS in business and prior supervisory experience. And I think maybe at some point...

  18. Net Test Study Guide?

    fleur-de-lis replied to Krither's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'd say get it, especially if you haven't taken math in a while. I am TERRIBLE in math and the study guide helped me get a 100% on the math part of the test. Helpful for the reading also. Think of it...

  24. Allnurses Community, I have just realized that Nursing isn't for me.....

    fleur-de-lis replied to RNsoon!'s topic in General Nursing

    I'd encourage you to take some time to think about it - don't make any quick decisions. You are obviously conflicted, so don't do anything yet that you can't undo. Shadowing or volunteering would be a...
