    Strange experience yesterday, feedback please...

    NoviceRN10 replied to LovingLearning's topic in General Students

    I think the only thing odd about this situation is that you were going through all this for a patient that wasn't assigned to you. I would not have done that. I would have reported to the...

    How much is too much when your class has uninvited guests?

    NoviceRN10 replied to Blueorchid's topic in General Students

    You could ask him not to interrupt you, but you can't control what he does or who he talks to or bothers all over

    I have to know that im not making a mistake

    NoviceRN10 replied to stuartogran's topic in General Students

    There seem to be plenty of nurses on the floors I've done clinicals on that do not have a passion for their job. Not everyone can be Florence Nightingale, I guess. Go ahead and try it, you may love...

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

    NoviceRN10 replied to iceangelred86's topic in General Students

    I agree. I have seen enough nurses during my own hospital stays and during clinicals to know that most of them do not have a passion for their job. They are there for the

    Books for MCC Nursing program

    NoviceRN10 replied to glory13666's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I would get the Taylor Fundamental's book with the included cd videos; there are 17 videos that show different skills we need to know. I had a hard time finding a cheaper version of that anywhere...

    Pharmacology at MCC

    NoviceRN10 replied to honeybumps's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I am in my second year of MCC's nursing program and have not taken a seperate pharmacology course. Is there one offered at Macomb? The instructors add meds into the courses where they are relevant,...

    Why do nursing stuents hate eachother??

    NoviceRN10 replied to midnight*sky's topic in General Students

    The students in my class aren't like that. We may not all appreciate each other's personalities or whatever, but we are considerate and polite anyway. At least nobody's rude to your face

    Extremely frustrated @ clinicals!

    NoviceRN10 replied to miss_pitty_pat's topic in General Students

    We don't forget meds . I will be sure to ask my nurses this next week if they go behind us and double check everything. Maybe they do and I'm just not aware of it . There is computerized charting...

    Extremely frustrated @ clinicals!

    NoviceRN10 replied to miss_pitty_pat's topic in General Students

    My school does things differently. My instructor is the one responsible for the meds I give, not the nurse who is assigned to the same pt. I may ask the nurse questions during my shift, but never...

    Microbiology at MCC

    NoviceRN10 replied to CorazonDeOro's topic in Michigan Nursing

    There were two first semester nursing students in my pathogenic micro class. Both are still going strong in the nursing program

    What is MCC's Nursing Program really like?

    NoviceRN10 replied to lovemyhuskies's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I'm in the program (second year) and I think MCC is probably one of the best programs around . I don't think they make us learn an insane amount of material; they only teach us what is relevant to...

    For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    I would love some new furniture. I can run my current vehicle into the ground, I rather like not having a car

    Stress!!!!!!

    NoviceRN10 replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Students

    Allow yourself to do something fun at least once a week, something you enjoy that will take your mind off of your studies. Do you exercise? That is supposed to relieve stress. Well, at least they...

    I was denied a maternity leave.

    NoviceRN10 replied to StephMatousek's topic in General Students

    I don't think you can make such a broad statement like that. Abortion is a choice, but not always a desperate one. Some women get pregnant in a desperate attempt to keep a guy around. Every...

    Did anyone not receive their confirmation letter for the HESI at Macomb?

    Mom of a 7 year old starting last semester....feel like a bad mother

    NoviceRN10 replied to brandyberry1973's topic in General Students

    One more semester is a small price for a huge achievement that will end up benefiting your son, even if right now he doesn't appreciate your committment to school. You can do it, and he will survive....

    Please help.....I'm worried about NS

    NoviceRN10 replied to HeatherTN's topic in General Students

    I have four young kids (8, 6, 4, 4) and I haven't found that nursing school is as scary as many make it out to be. I just finished my first year of a two year program and my family is surviving and...

    MCC PDA software

    NoviceRN10 replied to love2barn's topic in Michigan Nursing

    You can use epocrates for a free drug guide. It actually has some drugs that my davis drug guide (skyscape) did not. I have both on my PDA. I wish I had a medical dictionary. You really don't need...

    How was the nursing office handling the registration? Did they actually have computer access that worked or were they just writing down people's preferences on a

    MCC registration question

    NoviceRN10 replied to SnowStar4's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I spent a hellish 4 hours between midnite and 6 am trying to register both by phone and online. I gave up at 3 am when their website crashed (I think) and the phone system was no longer taking...

    CNA work Oakland or Macomb County

    NoviceRN10 replied to nursing123098's topic in Michigan Nursing

    I didn't take the OP's post to mean that any other county besides Macomb or Oakland were not nice, I read it as those are the areas she wanted or could work in. Honestly, there are crappy places to...

    Lasik Eye Surgery: Whats Everyones Opinion?

    NoviceRN10 replied to whiteoleander5's topic in General Students

    I had Lasek (similar to PRK) done this past June. If I had to do it over again I would pick a different clinic. I think I was suckered into paying $200 for punctal plugs (they claimed my eyes were...

    I failed a class- should I go to Pinning?

    NoviceRN10 replied to nursemama12's topic in General Students

    I would not even consider going. You get pinned when you successfully complete your nursing courses. If you failed a class and aren't done, in my opinion that means you don't have any business being...
