  1. rules for student nurses

    RNfromMN replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

    Please do not let the assignment of "Team Leader" for a day go to your head...you're not my charge nurse/nurse manager/nursing instructor; you've still had the same amount of schooling that I've had....

  2. Stupid things your school does/did

    RNfromMN replied to MountainMan's topic in General Nursing

    I was shocked when I learned we'd have to strip down to our bra & underpants to give eachother assessments. I don't even remember how the guys in our class pulled it off...I think we had an even...

  3. where to start?

    RNfromMN replied to lee vega's topic in General Nursing

    I'm going to a community technical college to get my nursing degree. As I recall, my high school grades weren't brought into consideration at all...all they wanted to see was my diploma. I'd check...

    RNfromMN replied to squeakykitty's topic in General Nursing

  5. Good Bye to Nursing for me...

    RNfromMN replied to healer27's topic in General Nursing

    As someone who plans on graduating in May, the idea of working full-time @ a hospital really overwhelms me. Working PT, at least at first, sounds really appealing...do you mind if I ask: Do you have a...

  7. Before I became a nurse...

    RNfromMN replied to arizonanurse's topic in General Nursing

    I'd never walked into an employee break room with a poopy diaper in my hands to ask a nurse (while she was eating dinner) if it was enough for a stool sample. Didn't phase the nurse either, until I...

  8. Very Upset about THIS!! (Vent)

    RNfromMN replied to cretia5080's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Kinda sorta dealt with the same thing... When I became a CNA, my first job explained to us at orientation that the senior nursing staff may not appreciate us being there...for us to just be aware of...

  10. Nursing Student Insurance

    RNfromMN replied to Lady T's topic in General Nursing

    No, I'm pretty sure they mean health insurance...the reasoning I was given was that they don't want to get sued or have to pay medical expenses if we get hurt/stuck/contract something/whatever @...

  11. Nursing Student Insurance

    RNfromMN replied to Lady T's topic in General Nursing

  12. Does anyone have puppy or kitten that they care for while in Nursing school?

    RNfromMN replied to atwtrn's topic in General Students

    Actually, this may be exactly what you want to hear;) : I moved out of state a few years ago, so I have no family or real close friends within state. Before I got into school, my socializing mainly...

  13. Anyone else have this problem?

    RNfromMN replied to Brigi23's topic in LPN to RN

    Oooh! That would bother me so much! Granted your stepdaughter is rather young, but...ugh! What an insensitive thing to say! One thing I learned real quick is that nursing school classes are...

  14. Your experiences?

    RNfromMN replied to daisygal's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm pretty sure my entire class passed. And I remember the skills being fairly simple. One of mine was measuring the urine output on someone's graduated cylinder & I didn't know that "ccs" were...

  15. Nursing Student Insurance

    RNfromMN replied to Lady T's topic in General Nursing

    I should caution that this may only apply to me, but my school "requires" it's students to have health insurance before starting clinical...I'm in the middle of my second year, have completed four...

  16. Describe it.

    RNfromMN replied to mandirocker's topic in General Nursing

    :yeahthat:

  17. Describe it.

    RNfromMN replied to mandirocker's topic in General Nursing

    It's been my experience that so many people don't get it. When I was a CNA, I would tell these beautiful stories about my day, the way a patient looked at me, or something they said to me, & when...

  18. can you be a mom and nurse?

    RNfromMN replied to perhisia's topic in Nursing Career

    What about school nurse? Or for that matter, clinic nurse. I think you will find that most nurses have children...& they're not all married

    RNfromMN replied to Chicagoan's topic in General Nursing

  20. Bed Baths, I dread giving them.

    RNfromMN replied to GardenDove's topic in General Nursing

    You cannot wrap the pt's head up in enough towels! If you don't wrap their head up, they are not only freezing, but the whole bed will get

  21. Hostile Post's

    RNfromMN replied to Keepstanding's topic in General Nursing

  23. Why did you take up nursing? What's your story?

    RNfromMN replied to Joe V's topic in General Nursing

    I think I was about 25, working full-time @ a hotel & taking general liberal arts classes when I could when I decided it was time to get serious about going to college & getting a degree I...

    RNfromMN replied to GODwillhelpmepass's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    I definitely plan on using it (just got my Saunders book for Christmas), but I have one concern. Part of Suzanne's plan is strictly adhering to Saunders. If I understand the plan correctly, Saunders...

    RNfromMN replied to all4schwa's topic in General Nursing
