I will be moving to Tallahassee shortly after I graduate and I wanted to get an idea of where I should apply. Also if anyone knows of a hospital that will hire a new grad to L&D that would be awsome!! TIA, Chancie btw sorry for any spelling erro...

I was reading around, and saw quite a few posters who seem to think kinda badly of birth plans, and just curious as to why? Is it because the patient made one, or because some/all of the requests were unsafe or just plain stupid? I made a birthpla...

I'd rather relive all three of my labors back to back with no pain medication than do another care plan..... I don't get summer off either, but still. I'm on my 5th care plan and I'm only in my first semester..... Have a Great Day! Chancie

No he did not... Tell his pt with a foley to hang his bag on his IV pole at waist level!!! This was yesterday, my clinical group was waiting to go to lunch, and I saw the pt walking past and to his room. I went and told him why that wasn't a good id...

I have an "A" average, and have been told by several instructors that I will be an wonderful nurse, so why is it that I can't do a care plan? I KNOW what my pts need, how to do it... everything that a care plan is "suppose" to be about, so why do I ...

I recently did my drug cards, and I came up with a great system for them. I went to walmart and bought a small 2 ring binder. It came with 100 lined index cards. I also bought a pack of unlined cards the same size. I formated my word document to 3x5...

We are REQUIRED to wear our scrubs durring ALL nursing school time. Clinical, Lab, Lecture, and even study time spent in our Sim and Learning Lab.

Ok I just started Intro to Nursing in January. I've been reading this site for about 2 years, and heard you all tell the horrors of care plans, the high school drama, and just over all crap that goes along with being a nursing student. Well, unfortun...

Thanks for all the support! As for the beer not being a big deal, in my school we are held to a stict code of ethics that was given to use before school began. Student's that smoke aren't allowed to do in uniform EVER even if they are on their way...

Mom of Student, I am horrible speller, but am normally quite good at English. My kids were running around, and I wast trying to quickly type so that I could get back to other things. Thank you for bringing my attention to this however. I will make su...

I agree with your take on the care plan. The pt. is an imaginary case study our instructor gave us to give us a feel on how to do care plans. My instructor gave us the intervention of "increase dietary fiber" and I didn't get why since like I said ...

I was actually told this in all of my evening classes, I'm taking day nursing classes, but all my pre-reqs were pretty much evening. I was told it's usually because day student's ususally are younger, and most people don't want to spent their evenin...

The majority of the people in my classes are absolutly wonderful, but somethings I just don't understand.... *If you can't stand to touch, or be touched by people because your such a germ-o-phobe, what are you going to do when you actually have to de...

I also downloaded my books to my laptop, and it's awsome (also elsevier/evolve) because all I have to take to class is my laptop and a note book. My books are set up so that you can search across all the chapters, and books if you like at the same t...

You could always refer her to this site and tell her to check out the students section! That alone should give her a clear picture of what she'll be dealing with. And that way you can know she knows what she's getting into, and you don't have to fe...

For my husband to grow up:banghead:, to be a good mom (I'm concerned about how much time I will be missing with them because of NS), and most of all for my family to follow the plan God has set for us:D! :redbeatheI wish all of you a VERY MERRY CHR...

How can I get my family to understand this??? My cousin's little boy (will be 6mo next week) has RSV. He's in the pediatric ICU on a venatalator, and "critical but stable" according to what she's been told. I TOTALLY understand that she's scared an...

:balloons:Yea You!!!!!!:balloons: :anpom::ancong!::anpom:

My appologies, I didn't intend my "basic nursing stuff" comment to mean that I know how to be a nurse, but that I know BASIC info about what is "normal" (babies have higher heart rates and the like). I have only said what I'm SURE about (things I ha...

The ONLY information I have given is from personal experience (my kids being sick/in the hospital, or because I have learned the information through other sources. I DO NOT/ WILL NEVER pretend to know something I don't!!! I ALWAYS make sure I tell ...

Hey! I've got M&T lecture, Thurs. clinicals... I was worried at first since classes on a Thurs. that I wouldn't know where to go or what to do, but luckily after that email was sent out (you did get that right?) I was much more relaxed! Good...

:balloons::anpom: congrats! :anpom::balloons:

I wish I could be there to at least be supportive, but she's like 5 or 6 hours away, and being Christmas time and 3 kids, one in prek and it's just not practical right now. I'm VERY careful to make sure I always follow up any information I give her...

It's natural to have questions/doubts! Whether or not you go through NS, will empact your life long term! I believe strongly that God has a plan for everyone, and I feel confident that (at least for the time being) I am doing what he wants me to do...
