  1. I'm worried about making a mistake that may harm a patient...

    Lunaticus replied to cpo_one's topic in General Students

    Don't worry, besides extensive training on the administration of medications, most nursing schools have several safeguards to protect both you and the patient. When you first start to give meds, for...

  2. "Is it ok if the student stays in the room?" <-- ARRG

    Lunaticus replied to Alternator81's topic in General Students

    Another lowly student here, and while I too hate the "can the student blah blah" phrase, I have come to recognize it's value. While it may be true (I don't know, because I've never actually witnessed...

  3. NEED feedback from El Centro/Northlake RN grads. and current students

    Lunaticus replied to mom35's topic in Texas Nursing

    I'm at NLC, graduating in May. I have not seen any professor that was "out to get" a student. During clinical, I have only witnessed a single student get sent home, and it was due to the fact that...

  4. I need help with when and where to apply

    Lunaticus replied to hellooonurse28's topic in Texas Nursing

    Grapevine's a wonderful spot; I'm only a few minutes away, in Keller. I'm still a student, but I will give you a tiny piece of advice. . . DFW traffic sucks! Seriously, it will regularly take me 20...

  5. Application Submitted for Fall 09 - NL\El Centro

    Lunaticus replied to jpgmavs's topic in Texas Nursing

    Good luck to all the applicants! I'll be graduating from Northlake in May; I too left a job which I didn't like. It's going to be so worth it to actually look forward to going into

  6. El Centro/ North Lake-1st Semester Spring 09

    Lunaticus replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    I too had Tunnell for first semester; don't panic! You will be better prepared to continue through your following three semesters after having her; I promise you. Seriously, care plans are easy once...

    Lunaticus replied to ProudRN2B's topic in General Students

    as a north lake student entering into her final semester (woot!), i can honestly tell you that the book packs are a complete waste of money! there are only two books that i ever needed from the...

  8. Doctor's Hospital for Preceptorship

    Lunaticus posted a topic in Texas Nursing

    So I'm finally entering my last semester of nursing school, :w00t: and I'm set to do a preceptorship over at Doctor's Hospital at White Rock Lake. I checked out the hospital's website, and it doesn't...

  9. What a terrible way to start off the new year

    Lunaticus replied to Ms. Nurse Assistant's topic in General Students

    I was a designer for many moons prior to deciding that I wanted to pursue nursing. I will be graduating in May at the ripe "old" age of 34. Honestly, I don't think I could have handled the rigors of...

  10. Spring 2009 Graduating Class

    Lunaticus replied to tachybradyRN's topic in General Students

    What's strange is that when I started nursing school, I thought "this will go by SOOO fast," and now that I'm down to my final semester, it feels like this will be the longest semester in the history...

  11. Starting to apply for new grad positions - help!

    Lunaticus replied to lei7's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'm glad I'm not the only person freaking out over the best way to secure employment. I've already registered for three career fairs (January, February, and March), but I'm thinking that it might...

  15. Is anyone else thrilled???

    Lunaticus replied to DroogieRN's topic in General Students

    I get excited every day that I'm in nursing school. I get even more excited now that I'm finishing my third semester and can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I wish you all the best in...

  16. WE're OUtta the vagina!!

    Lunaticus replied to Jenny67's topic in General Students

    LOL, I was SOO over "the lady parts" after L&D. If you ask my kids, however, they would tell you that they were over "the vajayjay" long before that! I took one of our school's anatomical models...

  17. Just Fired From My 1st Nursing Job

    Lunaticus replied to MysticalSeeker's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Okay, so I don't graduate until May, so maybe I don't comprehend the finer points of nursing, but. . . How in the heck can a nurse administer medications for 24 patients in under 20 minutes???? I...

  18. El Centro Spring 2009 Admissions

    Lunaticus replied to dreamRN9's topic in Texas Nursing

    I also attend North Lake, and love it! You get lots of one-on-one attention, parking is easy (not to mention free), and there's generally just a more relaxed atmosphere here as compared to El Centro....

  19. Are family members asking you for med advice?

    Lunaticus replied to dorselm's topic in General Students

    Sigh. . . That makes me very wary of the quality of your nursing education. I for one had Nursing Care for Poodles in first semester. :lol: Seriously though, as soon as I got my first stethoscope,...

  20. BSN vs. ADN

    Lunaticus replied to closetnerd's topic in Diploma, ADN, BSN

    My feelings exactly! I'll graduate with my ADN in May and will begin working on my BSN just as soon as I secure an employer to pay for it. If the choice is between my money and their money, I'll...

  21. Orthotebb Shoes

    Lunaticus replied to Lady_Bing's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    How long does it take to become accustomed to wearing these Orthotebb shoes, also, when do you start to see the results that are mentioned on their website? I'd do anything, ANYTHING to get rid of my...

  22. things friends/neighbors have asked you "because you are a nurse"

    Lunaticus replied to aloevera's topic in General Nursing

    I haven't even made it out of nursing school yet, and already, the questions have come. Most of the time, I can get away with the "I'm still a student" excuse, but not with my sister-in-law. Oh no!!...

  23. Apartments in Austin

    Lunaticus replied to sunshine88's topic in Texas Nursing

    Well, I moved away in 2001, but when I did reside in Austin, I lived off of Far West. There were several nice, safe complexes in that area. They did most definitely cater to the student, what with...
