I say you're cheating and should be expelled from school. They are testing your knowledge, not that of those who read this board. How would you feel if you did use one of the answers given to you by cheating and it was wrong . . . then you would be a...

There are so many variables to consider in why you feel that you were not given the care you, or your sister, expected. If, as you say, a pt came in that had to be intubated, and it had been determined that your sister was not an adb bleed, then all ...

Rather partial to Ian Shaw myself, but I also am in my infancy of jazz exploration.

Don't get too excited about the program at Vanderbilt. First of all it is an extremely demanding program. Secondly I believe it'll cost ya about $30,000/year.

We started with 6 men out of around 70 students. Now down to just me out of 18.

I love when these threads are relative to the experiences I am going through now. Gave my first SQ injection today. Poor old guy screamed like . . . But he also screamed when I took some tape off his arm also. O'well . . . sure I'll get at least one...

73 began 1st semester, 31 began this, 2nd semester.

This from a future nurse . . . yes, smile and be happy that management recognizes your efforts and the value you add to the floor. But in my previous career, I cherished the praise I received more from my customers than I ever did from management, un...

Not a "Nursing Book" but a book that I found very inspirational was Tuesdays with Morry (don't know about the spelling of Morry). I could not put this book down, finished it in one 3-4 hour sitting. You will not regret experiencing the outlook that t...

The reporter was probably trying to confirm that you were actually a nurse employed by that hospital and not just some random employee who might not be entirely satisfied with the hospital for whatever reason.

For those who abstain from enjoying a little reefer due to the damaging effects it MIGHT have on the lungs . . . enjoy a "brownie" with your glass of milk ;-)

To anyone who does not appreciate a cynical view of this thread . . . please stop reading . . . now. Susi, I can hear the frustration in your voice/words . . . but I believe you should be far less concerned about how others percieve you or your accom...

Well I heard what Susy said about what P_RN did when Night Owl mentioned what Houlihan told Stargazer concerning Kaknurse that blah ba bah blah blah . . . sorry just bored :-)

For some prereques not buying the "required" text will work. You can quickly find this out after the first day or so of class. When I got into the actual nursing classes, I found out it would be impossible to NOT have the text. During lecture you are...

Legally I have no idea, but as long as you didn't tell the pt that you had given him a pain med, sounds good to me. My question is, how would you handle it if say, the nurse on the next shift has a similar experience with the pt and the pt says "Just...

I really don't see how being required to have a certain number of CEUs/year to renew your nursing license as being beneficial at all. I am still a student, but attend many dinners/events where CEUs can be earned. For the most part these are social fu...

The math required for the RN program I am in was VERY basic, not to say that your's will be the same. If you had to take an chemistry course and comprehended that math, you should have no problem.

I'm a 1st year RN student. We have an assignment pertaining to the benefits of participating in a professional nursing organization for a nurse individually, as well as the nursing profession in general. I am just trying to see if I have overlooked ...

RN student, class of August 2003, TN

I spoke to three nurses, an NP; a physician's nurse and a manager, at the clinic where I work about this subject. The one thing that all three mentioned was networking; but not networking, for their benefit, as I have always considered. They spoke ...

You shouldn't assume . . . yes HE is a student. I work for an oncology clinic, not as a nurse, yet. I see the roles our nurses play in the lives of our patients and have the utmost respect and admiration for them, enough that I plan on following in t...

I've never read as many sad tales before reading this thread. If life as a nurse is sooooo bad . . . quit. You can't be doing anything but putting everybody around you in a bad mood with all the negative attitudes you have. Get a job doing somethi...

Sorry to hear you're feeling so down. I went through a short period of depression and it caused me to think about life and put it in perspective. First of all, as all the other poster's have said, talk to somebody, it is not being weak or negative ...

Sorry to hear you may have suffered undo pain and possible medical expenses. But, your attitude toward possibly suing over this incident is part of the problem with our current medical, as well as legal systems. If you have a grievance then file it...

I am in a RN diploma program and ours is: A 93 - 100 B 85 - 92 C 75 - 84 Anything below that is irrelavent, because a C is the minimum passing grade allowed. Also, you can only repeat one class one time, even if it is a different class, after that y...
