    Doors to patient rooms: open or closed?

    Lennonninja replied to ktliz's topic in General Nursing

    I'm just a tech, but I always ask what the patient prefers, especially since I work nights. Most patients don't have a preference, so I leave the doors halfway unless they request one or the

    12 Hour Shifts--A bad idea?

    Lennonninja replied to ObstreperousYoungLad's topic in General Nursing

    After college (the first time through) I usually worked 6 days a week and felt like I never had the time to rest and do anything not work related. Finding out that nurses usually work 3 12s was a big...

    I didn't get into any BSN programs, but I got into the ADN programs...am I stupid?

    Lennonninja replied to tatempole's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As offensive as I find the "dumb community college student" part, I can sort of understand where the person is coming from, even if they are completely misguided. I graduated from a well respected...

    what is nursing school like?

    Lennonninja replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    We don't get to find out our patient the day before. We show up at 0630 and get a report sheet and the teacher assigns the patients that we'll have. Then we listen to report from our nurses and get...

    Graphing calculator for school?

    Lennonninja replied to digitiminimi's topic in General Students

    We aren't even allowed to use scientific calculators at my school. Only the most basic of basic calculators. Pretty much, if it was more than about $5, we can't use it

    Dressing up on Halloween... unprofessional?

    Lennonninja replied to agent's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    As I was leaving this morning, everyone on day shift was coming in wearing scrub pants and t-shirts that said Happy Halloween on them. I thought it was a nice touch, festive but not

    How should i prepare for nursing school? What should i be reading in advance?

    Lennonninja replied to RescueNinja2013's topic in General Students

    Just read for fun right now. I miss reading for fun so much. I sneak in a few pages here and there, but most of the time I feel too guilty to really sit down and get into a novel because I feel like I...

    How can I maximize my learning experience at clinical?

    Lennonninja replied to Spikey9001's topic in General Nursing

    Definitely see what you can learn from the techs/CNAs. I've learned a lot from them in the last year, and they can really teach you some good tips and tricks about basic patient care. And if you can...

    To own a pet or not while in nursing school...

    Lennonninja replied to kroyce's topic in General Students

    If you're going to get a pet big enough to live outside of a cage (instead of a hamster/guinea pig/fish/ferret etc) cats are the best! Even though mine like to try to sit on my books when I'm studying...

    Lennonninja replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Lennonninja replied to cjungen's topic in General Students

    I'm 5 weeks into senior year, and right now I'm hating school so bad. They're doing everything in their power to make us miserable and it's working. There are several of us who had almost all As first...
