  1. Betrayed by my Program

    kgh31386 replied to This's topic in General Students

    I think you should calm down just a bit. Who here is "complaining" about students? They are simply not having sympathy. And your responses are very judgmental. How is it that you can tell that the...

  2. Why do some people assume NS is easy?

    kgh31386 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Yes, yes you did cheese them lol That is a very true statement. SOMETIMES(don't anyone tell me that I said everyone) when people are unhappy, they tend to bend the truth a bit in their favor. I also...

  3. Betrayed by my Program

    kgh31386 replied to This's topic in General Students

    I have to agree with the above posts from Catz, CBs, and CCL RN...although mine was labeled as mean haha and not being supportive. It's not about support, it's about constructive criticism. If 1...

    kgh31386 replied to mpolo's topic in General Students

  5. Why do some people assume NS is easy?

    kgh31386 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Just want to add on to the above post. The pre-reqs for nursing ARE too easy if you ask me. That is another reason they think nursing school is easy. This is one reason people say "I had a 4.0 in my...

  6. Calling Unit Managers Directly--good idea or not?

    kgh31386 replied to JeanettePNP's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I got my job from the floor I externed on during school. I also got another offer from the floor I did my leadership clinical on during my last semester. So I was really fortunate because I never had...

  8. Speed Shock

    kgh31386 replied to MEDICJOHN's topic in General Students

    Sounds like really any medication COULD potentially cause it. If you push a narcotic too fast, well you know the rest. If you push Lasix too fast, it could bottom out their BP. I think there are...

  10. Betrayed by my Program

    kgh31386 replied to This's topic in General Students

    I never said they were complaining, show me where I said that? And my response was not supporting, you are correct...it was simply asking for some more explanation, and they provided a very in depth...

    I'm going to go with another bullet point response..I do have a few questions 1. How were you baited exactly? I would have just done some research and seen what recent graduates and current students...

  12. Dear Precepting Student:

    kgh31386 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    Not to mention the salary being paid to all those teams. You have 5 people doing the work of 1, waste of resources. They say it depends on the area. But if in my area the nurses are handling 5-6...

  13. Dear Precepting Student:

    kgh31386 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    I agree with this statement It seems that a lot of people on this thread have an "everyone is out to get me" attitude. The slightest criticism and they start saying "preceptor hates me", or "such and...

  14. Dear Precepting Student:

    kgh31386 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    If you never learn in your program? Then I highly don't recommend that program. If you aren't taught basic skills, what DO they teach as far as skills go? That hospital I believe, may contribute to...

    kgh31386 replied to First year nursing's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

  17. Ventilator concepts of volume and pressure

    kgh31386 replied to Nurse2Bforever's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Don't forget about CPAP and PEEP. They involve pressure as well. PEEP is a little puff of air at the end of your breath and helps to keep a higher volume of gas in the lungs at the end of expiration....

  18. Why do some people assume NS is easy?

    kgh31386 replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Hah, I'm surprised you didn't offend anyone by saying an Associate's degree is regressing. Some will argue that ADN nurses are better prepared because they take more nursing oriented classes, or just...

  19. Can't be happy with my grades

    kgh31386 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    Did you not read the part where I said people have anxiety? If you did make straight A's in school and graduated with honors...would you want someone to associate your job or title, license, etc with...

  20. Can't be happy with my grades

    kgh31386 replied to pockunit's topic in General Students

    You SHOULD as a NURSE have the mental capacity to read what is above and below the part you highlighted in my response. I mentioned a mindset of those who AIM for the bare minimum. Do you want to have...

    kgh31386 replied to Strwbrywne's topic in General Students

    kgh31386 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    I'll make this one a bullet point response 1. She NEVER said they don't deserve to be a nurse. Just not a nurse there lol. If the staff thinks someone is not a good fit, then they won't hire them....

  23. Dear Precepting Student:

    kgh31386 replied to Music in My Heart's topic in General Students

    It's the responses like this that prove the point of some. How is anyone being mean? How is anyone eating anyone? That was a very polite letter
