    Incident Report?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    My understanding is that this can be true. I have heard of cases where this happens but I've also heard of others where it doesn't because there's no proof the document exists and you can't always...

    Incident Report?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    I filed a report as a student 2 semesters ago. The nurses blew it off and said don't worry about it. My instructor and I filed it anyway. Again, it's not part of the record because that keeps it out...

    will my dx prevent me from entering NS?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to SUstudent's topic in General Nursing

    Contact your local state board of nursing if you have any question. They should have information as to what, if any, medical conditions are an issue for nursing school/nursing. I can tell you...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to 10ACGIRL's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    Question about Stethocopes

    IrishIzCPNP replied to lexie14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My Master Cardiology has more weight then my Classic. There's no doubt there. I can't say the weight is an issue for me. It's my neck and it's not 25 pounds so it's not a big deal. I think that is...

    Question about Stethocopes

    IrishIzCPNP replied to lexie14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Classic II. It's nice enough. I used it, it worked, I liked it. I then got a Master Cardiology and it's so freaking loud and I hear things other people can't. I don't have the Master...

    What are the best BLACK PENS

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dark10gable's topic in General Students

    You need to try the Zebra 301 or 302. Their super fine point is wonderful for charting, they are shorter then regular pens so they are great for the pocket. That's the Zebra to

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dark10gable's topic in General Students

    That was me. Amazing pens. I have skinny and lanky fingers so I need more of a grip . I just told my husband I needed to get to the store before school starts up so I can get a lot more. The ones...

    Dansko shoes

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Aimfred's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I tried one more time today...they are completely sold out of them. They said it looks like they are discontinued. So I'm wondering if Dansko isn't going to be selling them anymore. I'm going to...

    Dansko shoes

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Aimfred's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I asked him to special order them and he was all gruff and said they aren't in stock so I repeated myself and he put me on hold and told me again they don't have them. I'm going to call again and see...

    Steth tubing length

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    I had researched this before for an instructor who insisted that we needed to cut the tubing on our scopes. There was no way in the world I was going to cut it without doing research. I have a...

    Dansko shoes

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Aimfred's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    THAT'S CHEAP! Everywhere else they are $100 and up. I could get them at Amazon for about $60 if I opened a card with them. Thank

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Aimfred's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    That's them! Aren't they cute?!?!?! Well I eventually got a manager on the phone and was told they never ordered them and they are NOT available! I'm glad to hear you love them. I think I'm going...

    Do ADN nurses graduate with a robe or nurse uniform?

    IrishIzCPNP replied to lizzyberry's topic in General Students

    We wear the typical graduation gown and cap in royal blue boring I wish we wore a traditional nursing uniform and cap. I think it's a shame it's done done that way. Oh well. I don't know if we do...

    Stethoscope Cost

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Rivs's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I have a Littman Master Cardiology. The sound on it is amazing. I hear things that other students cannot. I paid around $150, had it laser engraved and I kid you now...had it 24 hours after ordering...

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Aimfred's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Thanks for the reminder... I ordered a pair of Dansko (Marcelle I believe was the specific style...I went between that and the PITA) from a HUGE overpriced department store. My husband says to me "I...

    Did you get the one that you click and the pen goes up? Seriously. There was apparently a pen that was folded in half and you hit a button and it unfolded and raised

    Stethoscpe Advice appreciated!!

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Crux1024's topic in General Students

    My first thought is that they may have been in backwards. I honestly think that they look like they go in wrong...so if you put them in how it looks right it's wrong. So I would look into that. I...

    Debinding books

    IrishIzCPNP replied to Jamie2887's topic in General Students

    I was going to do this but I'm glad I didn't. Out readings are very rarely by Chapter. We might have chapter 33 but then a bunch of pages out of a few other chapters. So it's hard to not have the...

    NS does not teach ADL's

    IrishIzCPNP replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

    We may assist a patient in performing a bath or dressing...though it is usually something the aids do. In the end it's usually PT and OT that teach the patient how to perform them based on their...
