  1. HOPKINS: 20 minutes into the show

    Kiringat replied to HopeItWorksDNP's topic in General Nursing

    I gave up after about 20 minutes as well. Its just depressing not seeing nurses. Especially in a top hospital like Hopkins. They have such an opportunity to shine a light on what nurses actually...

  2. Most RN's first borns?

    Kiringat replied to lvs2nrs3535's topic in General Nursing

    I'm firstborn! Plus my mom's an alcoholic and my dad, well, he's just an abusive ass.... Very interesting

  3. What do nurses really think of CNAs?

    Kiringat replied to ccyrrus's topic in General Nursing

    I have nothing but respect for the majority of the CNAs I worked with in school and during my internship. It's a job that would drive me nuts within a week or two, and I'm in awe of their dedication...

  4. Pet Peeve

    Kiringat replied to BookwormRN's topic in General Nursing

    I HATE this too!!! My pre-reqs (some of which were really out there, i.e. Anthropology) took a solid 4 semesters. Plus 4 semesters of actual nursing classes = 8 semesters = 4 years! Should have...

  5. The worst part of nursing?

    Kiringat replied to SeattleKid09's topic in General Nursing

    I second that! But as a student/GN- being treated badly by nurses, for whatever reason. Some of them I completly understand. It just really sucks when someone you want to look up to and learn from...

  6. As an LPN you take the NCLEX but do you have to take it again when you get ur ADN

    Kiringat replied to Mrfox90's topic in General Students

    Oh, yes, you get to take the NCLEX-RN! LPN are nurses. But depending on the nurse practice act of your state, their roles may be different from the RN though. For example, LPNs might not be able to...

  10. Things you'd LOVE to be able to tell patients, and get away with it.

    Kiringat replied to AngelfireRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    After my ER internship: Bathe. Bathe often. While your at it, bathe your children. Often. No, I will not run out to get your some "Burga King" cause I'm just a student. Especially after the amount of...

  12. Student Nurses

    Kiringat replied to Amica88's topic in General Nursing

    Worst - Med/Surg 2 during 3rd semester. Lets just say the the "weeding out" thing that you hear about really happened in my program. Then I don't know if this counts, but finding a job after...

  13. Why no nursing love from Grey's?

    Kiringat replied to thisgirlsanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Responding to the OP about Grey's.... I just don't find the sex lives of medical interns/residents/whatever all that interesting. *shrug* And it just bugs me that nurses get such poor representation...

  14. Help! Is there ANY possible way to review Pharm?

    Kiringat posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Kiringat replied to NFB2008's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

  17. What overwhelms you the most? What did NS NOT prepare you for?

    Kiringat replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in First Year After Licensure

    My I graduated on Saturday. I am scared to start practicing. I feel like my school has prepared me to take the NCLEX - not take care of patients. I can think critically, list and describe SE and...

  19. Funny Names for Nurses

    Kiringat replied to randomnamees's topic in Nursing Humor

    There's a student in our class named Ie (pronounced eye). I've witnessed and been part of several conversations along the lines of: "Who did this?" "Ie did." "Why did you do it that way?!" "I didn't...

  21. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Kiringat replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Wanting to be a nurse just for the money will only end up giving you a nasty shock. Foleys and NG tubes CANNOT be used interchangably. Just because you'll have RN after your name doesn't mean you...

  22. Has anyone failed a test? I need some encouragement!

    Kiringat replied to silly32girl's topic in General Students

    I failed several test. Sure, I don't have a 4.0 anymore, but I'm graduating in a month! Please don't let it get you down. First semester is a real challenge because everything is so new. Keep at it...

    Kiringat replied to hopefornursing's topic in General Students

    We spent 6 weeks in a LTC facility, then 6 on a med/surg floor in a hospital. In LTC it was pretty much CNA work, but we could pass meds and do insulin and other SC injections. They were also big on...
