  1. Discussing grades with classmates?

    Soup Turtle replied to OgopogoLPN's topic in General Students

    I think just about everyone in our class shares grades. If someone gets a lower grade than I do, I try to offer encouragement. If someone gets a higher grade, I consider that person a good luck...

  2. CNA question....?

    Soup Turtle replied to jess17's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    One of my clinical sites was assisted living and the CNAs did just about everything. People needed help with all of the ADLs, just to different degrees. Most patients were able to ambulate, at least...

  3. Piercings!!

    Soup Turtle replied to Angel323's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Most places limit you to stud type earrings if they allow jewelry at all. The ear plugs probably wouldn't go over well. More than likely, you'd have to remove them. LVN programs can vary quite a bit...

  4. Moving to San Antonio

    Soup Turtle replied to Rnmomajmj's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm only a nursing student, but I want to extend a future welcome to you from San Antonio. Live Oak is OK, but the Schertz/Cibolo area is probably even better...it's just a little bit further north...

  5. How do you feel about the patients that WON't take care of themselves?

    Soup Turtle replied to diapason05's topic in General Nursing

    I think it has a lot to do with the external "locus of control" thing. Some people just don't realize how much control they have over their lives. They really do feel controlled by the obstacles...

  6. Can nursing schools kick out students who are overweight?

  7. Why are RNs scared of Fighting the Hospital Admin?

    Soup Turtle replied to fighting4saferatios's topic in Texas Nursing

    ...but have you looked at the cost of living in

  8. No CNA experience?

    Soup Turtle replied to AK2282's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The first half, of my first semester, of fundamentals of nursing WAS a CNA class.

  9. Cat had subcutaneous emphysema

    Soup Turtle replied to SaderNurse05's topic in General Nursing

    That happened to a cat that I had spayed for a relative at a clinic I work at. No one there had ever seen it before, and the staff is 30+ people including 7+ vets. I haven't gotten that far in school...

  10. Getting Frustrated w/ Classmates

    Soup Turtle replied to Kathyz's topic in General Students

    That is true! I type up pages and pages of notes and only look them over RIGHT before the test. It's typing them up that really makes them

  11. How much trouble am I in?

    Soup Turtle replied to newmoml's topic in General Nursing

    I hope everything works out OK for

  12. nurses who don't want students

    Soup Turtle replied to crimsondawn's topic in General Students

    It's a drag to get stuck with one like that. Is it possible you could switch? If my nurse is not helpful, I find a friendly one and follow her/him around instead. Unfortunately, since I'm there as a...

  13. Brain tumor dx

    Soup Turtle replied to sunnydaydream's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm just a student, but I think it would be a good idea to let your employer know what's going on. It sounds as if you've got a long (and sometimes very tough) road ahead of you...you'll need support...

  14. ANGRY! There's no place to eat or drink 'round here!

    Soup Turtle replied to CaLLaCoDe's topic in General Nursing

    It sounds like you're going to have to get

  15. how are you graded at clinical?????

    Soup Turtle replied to student-with-no-life's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    It's probably not any of your business how the other students are graded. Speed is not the most important thing when it comes to passing meds...especially for a student. :uhoh21: I stay way too busy...

  16. Working while in nursing school?

    Soup Turtle replied to lulu1224's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm in my second semester and work two days a week. I'm looking to cut back because I still don't feel like I have enough time to handle everything they're throwing at me.

  17. It's sometimes hard being a nurse of color isn't it?

    Wow...that was really interesting. Thanks for posting

  19. Being Strong Armed by DON

    Soup Turtle replied to Texashardhat's topic in General Nursing

    I live in Texas and I've always thought it was an "at will" state. I think they can pretty much let you go for any or no reason. Regardless, I'd flush them! I feel sorry for the residents of that...

  20. Seniors Head to Mexico For Treatment

    Soup Turtle replied to bakpakr's topic in General Nursing

    I think things can go wrong on either side of the border. I've had cosmetic surgery in Mexico and my experience was very good AND very

  23. Can a white student get a minority scholarship?

    Soup Turtle replied to HogNurse's topic in Post Graduate Students

    Wow...I thought this was going to be some kind of joke. I guess it can't hurt to call and ask. I'd be interested in hearing what their response

  24. To all that have been accepted to San Antonio College ADN program

    Soup Turtle replied to stpauligirl's topic in Texas Nursing

    I would buy the Fundamentals of Nursing Book and start reading!!! The class moves quickly and reading a lot in advance really helped me do well. I always practiced the NCLEX style questions in the...

  25. Really Ticked Off !!!! (yes I Am Shouting)

    Soup Turtle replied to coolpeach's topic in Pre-Nursing Students
