  1. Gay male nurses?

    AZO49008 replied to mitakashi's topic in Men in Nursing

    I can only echo what everyone else has already said. It shouldn't be an issue, especially with patient care. The only way I've seen it remotely come into play is when I've had a really involved...

  2. What path does one take to work in PACU?

    AZO49008 posted a topic in PACU

    I'm currently a 1st year ADN-RN student with somewhat of an interest in possibly working in PACU. I currently work as a phlebotomist in a large hospital and sometimes have to go draw labs in PACU. It...

  3. What FUNNY but IMPORTANT things did you learn this semester in nursing school?

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Students

    This forum seems to be fraught with serious and anxious posts about studying for finals, taking finals, final grades. I am calling for something a little lighter. Share any and all funny things that...

  4. Is it possible to get aids by getting transfused blood on your hands?

    AZO49008 replied to ANH_RN's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Wow, you're an RN and you don't know the basics of blood-borne pathogens? I'm not trying to be a jerk, but I recently saw another discussion about HIV transmission via blood exposure and some of the...

  5. is it bad if i dont go to the christmas party tonight?

    AZO49008 replied to missmiamoore's topic in General Nursing

    I'm with everybody else on this: ditch the guilt and relax! :) When I worked in the corporate world, I never went to the holiday parties. I spent anywhere between 40 and 50 hours a week with these...

  6. Getting discouraged about nursing school....

    AZO49008 replied to denise0815's topic in General Nursing

    Hang in there. I waited 3 years after completing my pre-reqs to enter a ADN-RN program. I just wrapped up the first semester. My advice is to not pay attention to all the negatives you're hearing. All...

  7. Question about patient's death and ethical issue

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school and we are touching on death, dying and grief. We were given a scenario to think about for discussion tomorrow: Patient's family goes to cafeteria. While gone, patient dies...

  8. Does your hospital allow you to say "Merry Christmas"??

    AZO49008 replied to VU RN BSN's topic in General Nursing

    Oh, please don't let this turn into a wingnut "war on Christmas"

  9. Question about patient's death and ethical issue

    AZO49008 replied to AZO49008's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks so much for the replies and for sharing your experiences and insights. GodfatherSN is exactly correct....I have had a class in ethics (not nursing ethics) and I suppose I was looking at this...

  10. How to resign while still on orientation?

    AZO49008 replied to Ilovelucy2's topic in General Nursing

    Take the new job and give this place your notice. If the shoe were on the other foot and it was advantageous to the company that owns your facility to eliminate your position, they wouldn't hesitate...

  11. What would u do???? long one..sorry

    AZO49008 replied to nurseofalltrades's topic in General Nursing

    5 hours to do a med pass??? I'm just a nursing student but when we were doing our clinical rotations, we were told emphatically that you have one hour leeway either side of the prescribed time to...

  12. I hate nursing

    AZO49008 replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    Umm...I wasn't literally suggesting she take up a hobby. It was a suggestion full of sarcastic irony. And I'm sorry...venturing off into a new career because you're "bored" and haven't bothered to...

  13. The Looks of A Future Nurse!

    AZO49008 replied to Newbie11's topic in Men in Nursing

    You're worried about losing hair? Don't worry kid...what you lose on top of your head will gradually begin to grow elsewhere. Like your ears...your nose...your back. If you're serious about being...

  14. Waiting for My Final Grade

    AZO49008 replied to gillytook's topic in General Students

    We won't know our final grades until NEXT TUESDAY. ARggghhhhh. We just had our last competency eval in lab yesterday, and know how we did on that (passed, of course). Had clinical final evals today,...

  15. I hate nursing

    AZO49008 replied to prettylittlenurse2b's topic in General Students

    OMG...I don't even know where to begin. I find it amusing that you find your enthusiastic classmates pretentious. Are you certain you weren't just looking in the mirror? You started nursing because...

  16. I failed my clinical on Monday

    AZO49008 replied to iceangelred86's topic in General Students

    Wow...sorry you have to repeat a whole semester. Sounds like the director of the program was reasonable and understanding. I'm just first semester, but I have to say that it has been drilled and...

  17. Anyone else experiencing burnout??

    AZO49008 replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I can't say that I'm burned out, but I'm definitely ready for the long break over the holidays. There's some stress there, but I also can't say that I'm stressed out. I guess I don't understand this...

  18. 3 males out of a class of 30, anyone else feel overpowered?

    AZO49008 replied to baedwards4's topic in Male Nursing Students

    I'm one of six guys in my class of 36, which I understand is an usually high saturation of testosterone for a class at my school as well as in general. I don't think any one of us six has any issues...

  19. Just need a chance to celebrate!

    AZO49008 replied to Teacher2RN's topic in General Students

    Congrats! Wow...100 on a nursing test! I know it's POSSIBLE, but I suspect it is rarely pulled off. Well done! I, on the other hand, did not do so well on my theory exam today (postpartum mother baby...

  20. Requesting input from nursing instructors or nursing school administrators

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm a 1st semester student in an ADN program. For many of our lab sessions, prior to coming to lab we need to review and write synopsis notes of various media (videotapes, CD-ROMS, etc) covering the...

  21. Are you allowed to use voice recorder during lecture?

    AZO49008 replied to Lajimolala's topic in General Students

    We're allowed to use them in both theory and lab, but if the instructor wants to talk about a particular real-life case she encountered as an example of the concept we're talking about, she'll ask us...

  22. I did something that now makes me think I was acting like a druggie/doper/thief...

    AZO49008 replied to Jo Dirt's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think you overreacted to the situation. It was incredibly rude and unprofessional for your coworker to start pawing through your scrub pockets WHILE YOU WERE WEARING YOUR SCRUBS. You were more...

  23. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    AZO49008 replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    Well, I'm just starting my mother-baby clinical (first year student nurse here), and as a male with absolutely no prior experience with anything having to do with childbirth or maternal women I can...

  24. (vent) Group projects

    AZO49008 replied to SoloWytch's topic in General Students

    Did I mention I hate group projects? My nursing instructors are very into group learning activities and group projects, which I am dreading. Yes, I know...they are supposed to teach us to function as...

  25. OMG...how do you folks in LTC do it day and and day out?

    AZO49008 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I just finished up my first clinical experience as a student nurse in the long term care setting. I did well, learned a lot and all in all it was a good experience. My hats go off to ALL of you who...
