3. Nursing students and new nurses.....about injection sites

   SN bbgrl replied to TazziRN's topic in Medications

   Really? You were instructed not to use the VG site? We were encouraged to use that site, and in fact, our book and our instructor told us that is the preferred im site - (the dorsogluteal however, is a different story because of the possibility of st...

   SN bbgrl replied to Ms Kylee's topic in General Nursing

   Correction to my post - by "dumb" i didnt by any means imply that these safety rules are dumb, they are the basics that should be ingrained in us so we do them without even having to think about it - those are what i am afraid im going to blow becaus...

   SN bbgrl replied to zilla704's topic in General Students

    SN bbgrl replied to SN bbgrl's topic in General Students

11. I need encouragement or i may quit school

    SN bbgrl replied to SN bbgrl's topic in General Students

    I think my other great fear is that this negative evaluation is going to haunt me when i try to get a job. I may try to talk to the professor after summer, once he has had a chance to cool done and me too and see if i can do anything to have him amen...

    Question for everyone. First semester is winding down, our last day in clinical is May 21 then we are off until August 27th. My question is - barring having your own lab with mannequins, syringes, etc, etc, how do you keep from losing your skills whe...
