  1. RN's rarely scrub??

    Deliasgone replied to beachbum3's topic in Operating Room

    If they are eliminating RN scrub, how will you be able to become a first assist? I thought you had to have multiple years of both circulating and scrub experience to become a RN first assist. Will...

  2. "Nurses are not professionals"

    Deliasgone replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Nursing

    I have been thinking the same thing. And have you also noticed that when someone's life gets saved on other random shows, it's always a Dr. doing the saving. Never a nurse or EMT. I say we need to...

    Deliasgone replied to LydiaNN's topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I just wanted to introduce myself. I am a proud mother of a 4 yo boy with autism. I can totally relate to all the stares from the neighbors, fellow shoppers, even family. Fortunately, they...

  5. 18 Year Old Had Breast Removed due to Piercing

    Deliasgone replied to BSNtobe2009's topic in General Nursing

    The henna scarring was likely due to black henna, which is not supposed to be used and the people who do use it should know better. It will cause permanent scarring among other things. Black henna...

  6. Does your school curve your test score

    Deliasgone replied to SA2BDOCTOR's topic in General Students

    No curves. Passing is a 78% and if you have a 77.9% it is still a 77.9%. The instructors said that it was a mandate that was beyond the school. I don't know if that is true or not but it certainly...

  7. Soooo, you're observing in the Operating Room (O.R.)...

    Deliasgone replied to Marie_LPN, RN's topic in General Students

    I had my OR observation this past Friday and your tips helped out loads! Thank you! I will also say that I absolutely fell in love with OR. I really felt at home there and it gave me the drive to...

  8. Oops, sorry! Son got wrong vaccination

    Deliasgone replied to hotshot05's topic in General Nursing

    After the fingerstick I probably would have asked for someone else to administer the vaccinations. I agree with everybody else, go as far up as you can and be as loud as you can be. Nobody should be...

  9. Question on GRAINS and dosage calc

    Deliasgone replied to HeartsOpenWide's topic in General Students

    Normally 1 grain = 60 mg, except in the case of aspirin, then 1 grain = 65

  10. Accellerated ADN or RN

    Deliasgone replied to nursenj20's topic in Nursing Career

    Not that I am aware of. If you include the time I spent getting pre-reqs out of the way (while waiting for my turn on the waiting list) and add that to the 5 semesters of nursing classes I will have...

  11. Suck at Clinicals...Should I just Quit Now?

    Deliasgone replied to Melcia060's topic in General Students

    Hang in there! I had a real hard time getting started, too. I think that pretty much every one of my classmates (who aren't NAs or LPNs) had a hard time. As far as your clinical instructor goes you...

  12. "Honey"

    Deliasgone replied to lovingtheunloved's topic in General Nursing

    It may depend on where you are. I know that down here in the south it is pretty normal to be addressed as "honey" or "sugar". While it irks me , especially when it is coming from somebody younger...

  13. Hearing BP's

    Deliasgone replied to FNPhopeful's topic in General Students

    Just keep practicing. It took me forever to be able to get BPs. I had to just sit and keep taking a BP on my fellow students in our practice lab over and over again until I managed to figure out...

  14. Friends are frustrating me..Anyone in same situation?

    Deliasgone replied to wannabesedated's topic in General Students

    Only nursing students will be able to understand what you're going through. That being said, you should take a couple of dosage calculations problems and a few of the critical thinking problems from...

  15. You know you're a nursing student when...

    Deliasgone replied to Megsd's topic in General Students

    When you are dragging your 30 lb. bookbag anywhere and everywhere you go "just in case" you have a minute to study. Also, when you are in a doctor's office with said bookbag and the nurses who work...

  16. IV Push calculations....

    Deliasgone replied to SoulShine75's topic in General Students

    Can you give an example of your calculation problems? I have not yet started clinicals this semester but I did just take my math test so I may be able to

  17. Interested in Australia

    Deliasgone replied to Cali83's topic in Australia, New Zealand

    I am also looking into coming to Australia after I graduate (about a year or so after graduation). I would be bringing my family. I was curious about Australia's school systems and more imprtantly...
