  1. in my first term, now I know what you all were talking about

    deftonez188 replied to chnc1024's topic in General Students

    What I said was a beer (single) on lab day (day in which no pt care is done), at lunch = no big deal. We're all grownups - however I definitely don't condone it for clinical, and for that matter -...

  2. Does it ever annoy you when people say nursing school is easy?

    deftonez188 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Unless they've done it themselves, they can't say with any certainty it's easy, it's merely their unsubstantiated generalization based on simple observations. Personally, i'm an A type hardcore...

  3. in my first term, now I know what you all were talking about

    deftonez188 replied to chnc1024's topic in General Students

    Having a beer at lunch on lab day isn't a big deal Also, realize that maybe some people aren't as diligent at studying as you are - it's a good thing you pull it all off with that workload, but then...

  4. What is out there in admin/mgmt if you don't like blood/gore/death?

    deftonez188 replied to TCM1's topic in General Nursing

    Without echo'ing everyone else, I had mixed feelings about cleaning up bodily fluids and dealing intimately with patients, however in time you really don't even think about it. I'm not kidding, my...

  5. Do any of you feel that you will not like a career in nursing?

    deftonez188 replied to iceangelred86's topic in General Students

    The same way I can be an accountant, hate my job, but still do a good one... Besides, hospital nursing isn't the only thing you have to do. I'm almost done with school for my RN and won't be working...

  6. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    deftonez188 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    In our second year right, girl no joke (have it recorded) asks, "When we are palpating a pulse, what are we actually feeling?" Are you

  7. Share Your "Brain" Sheet

    deftonez188 replied to nurseJ88's topic in Cardiac

    Thank you everyone, these will make my life easier and help put my mind at

  8. Books for MCC Nursing program

    deftonez188 replied to glory13666's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Don't worry about the CD's, i'm in the 3rd semester and we've never been required to use them, furthermore, the information on them is usually available online through the book anyways, so buy em...

  9. What's the biggest problem, or issue, that you face in your profession?

    deftonez188 replied to PediNurse2b's topic in General Nursing

    I second 'customer service,' as well as every part of care boiling down to a business 'bottom-line at any

  10. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    deftonez188 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    Haha when I was 9 I wanted to be a cartoonist because, like all kids that age, I loved cartoons and loved drawing. As I got older, I realized my drawing really wasn't that good and that I was...

  11. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    deftonez188 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I pretty much knew what you were saying and that you didn't mean all of that, i'd say my post is more a defense against certain attitudes i've dealt with so far from some females who feel we don't...

  12. Which nursing program to pick

    deftonez188 replied to nicoleEMT's topic in Michigan Nursing

    At MCC the preqs are changing, and new applicants will be judged based on scores in them as well as their HESI (pretty easy test). I'd try to go to a community college unless you have cash to blow

  13. So, tell me again why you suddenly want to be a nurse...?

    deftonez188 replied to JoblessRN's topic in General Nursing

    I sympathize with the sudden spark of interest - before I decided to go into nursing I didn't even know there were waiting lists, entrance tests, and so on. Competition for slots is crazy, my mother,...

  14. Drill weekends

    deftonez188 replied to momofabmtcs's topic in Government, Military

    While you can't completely prevent being deployed in the reserves/guard, you can try to work with the unit you are going to so you can attend school with minimal interruption. For example (AFANG), I...

  15. Cheating

    deftonez188 replied to nurz2be's topic in General Students

    No need to revictimize the victim right? Student A, you are trusting and your trust was betrayed by Student B. Student A, I would hang Student B out to dry and expose them as a fraud - if you don't...

  16. I hate nursing

    deftonez188 replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    I doubt that everyone who feels the way the OP feels would provide substandard care - perhaps they have a strong work ethic that will not allow them to complete a job (provide care) at any less than...

  17. Alternatives to Strangling

    deftonez188 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    hahahahahaha - do they sell them on amazon?......

  18. Alternatives to Strangling

    deftonez188 replied to AngelfireRN's topic in General Nursing

    You poor woman - it is unfortunate that the children are allowed to act in this manner - and even more unfortunate considering how this will affect them later on. Do you step in? Well I wouldn't...

  19. Verbose coworkers about their patients

    deftonez188 replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Sounds like venting - perhaps a little long-winded, but venting :) Maybe they get stressed easier than most and cope in this fashion, or perhaps they are looking for the words of a colleague to ease...

  20. Who's Hiring New Grads?

    deftonez188 replied to chocolateskye's topic in Arizona Nursing

    I tend to go to individual floors and give the manager there my resume - it works and takes

  21. Medically Disqualified

    deftonez188 replied to Finalapproach's topic in Government, Military

    Even then it depends on whether it was a civilian family practice doctor that you saw prior to the military, because otherwise they won't end up knowing about it. I had 'transient blues' at one point...

  22. about mcc's HESI

    deftonez188 replied to solidus's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Well put John - to add, I understand that not everyone will have 95+ percent on it, however, if you did exceedingly poor I question your ability to calculate that IV drip of heparin your going to run...

  23. Medically Disqualified

    deftonez188 replied to Finalapproach's topic in Government, Military

    Depression is sticky, I suggest if you were never formally diagnosed, lacked SI and it was only transient 'blues' that you keep it to yourself. No need to get DQ'd over transient life stressors that...

  24. Best Air Force Base

    deftonez188 replied to cat2008's topic in Government, Military

    Best place is this little spot at the foot of the alps I call... A V I A N O

  25. Drill weekends

    deftonez188 replied to momofabmtcs's topic in Government, Military

    No need to preach, my statement was aimed at reducing the anxiety associated with new membership in our big boy and girl club. Also keep in mind that your vision of the military will not be the same...
