  3. how can i juggle nursing school, kids and a job without sacrificing either?

    emily_mom replied to geleesa's topic in General Nursing

    You need to know what your limitations are. I wake up in the middle of the night and study so I don't have to do it when my family is up. I'm completely exhausted, but it will be worth it in the...

    emily_mom replied to Nurse Ratched's topic in General Nursing

  6. Faking It

    emily_mom replied to l.rae's topic in General Nursing

    I think part of the problem is that we get all the non-stable psych patients. When they're stable, they go downstairs. This guy hasn't been referred yet. What happened to the good ol' days when all...

  7. Faking It

    emily_mom replied to l.rae's topic in General Nursing

    Oh God, we have one now. The guy was abused as a child and married and extremely older woman. We think it's kind of a Munchausen with them. He is in at least once a month, for sometimes as long as...

    emily_mom replied to KK7724's topic in General Students

    I don't think any program is easy. To say that marketing is easy compared to nursing is only b/c you are not knowledgeable about it. Personally, I don't give a crap about my "college experience". I...

  10. Time you can miss in your program (absence)

    emily_mom replied to LPNtoBSNstudent's topic in General Students

    We can miss Patho anytime we want. She said she doesn't take attendance and said it's our dime. BUT, even though she gives you the notes, you can't understand them unless you're there. My other...

  16. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    emily_mom replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I was going to add Natalie...thank you! We carry our own malpractice insurance and work under the instructor's license. Only when I am at work as an Intern do I work under an RN's...

  17. Lazy Student Nurse Preceptors!

    emily_mom replied to jfpruitt's topic in General Nursing

    I'm probably the only one in disagreement here (I am also a last semester student and Student Nurse Intern). OK, true...you are to practice the higher difficulty things here, but that's not always...

  18. Am I just being petty?

    emily_mom replied to huggietoes's topic in General Nursing

    I agree with the above posters. No use putting your license on the line for people that don't give a crap about you.

  20. Utilizing I.V.'s in the foot or lower leg?

    emily_mom replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    My daughter was walking (more like running), and the IV was unnecessary as when she pulled it out they didn't reinsert it anyway. Doc said she didn't even need it....which makes me wonder if they had...

  23. Call light systems...

    emily_mom replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    We don't have a choice but to wear it (you are written up if you don't). But, working in a large hospital it's nice b/c we've had quite a few incidents where the emergency button is needed. Plus, it...

  24. Utilizing I.V.'s in the foot or lower leg?

    emily_mom replied to passing thru's topic in General Nursing

    My daughter had one at 14 months in her foot, and it was terrible. They wouldn't let her walk for four days, and by the time the catheter fell out it was completely mangled. Never again will I allow...

  25. Call light systems...

    emily_mom replied to deespoohbear's topic in General Nursing

    We can also do what Cindy's does, but ours is awesome. We wear these little pager thingies (size of deck of cards...super light) and when you go in the room it shuts off the light. Outside the door...
