    Hello there, I am awaiting my letter for the nursing program and have always imagined myself working in L&D. Excuse my ignorance, but in your post are you referring to a fetus that died in utero?...
  3. What made you decide?

    Well, I can honestly say I never imagined myself as a nurse but then my father passed of cancer. I have lost several people in my life and at a young age but for some reason losing my father the way...

  7. Other Med/Surg students

    Hey there, Now that you have almost completed a clinical, how was it? What kind of stuff do you get to do? I'm still waiting to find out if I'll be called for fall or winter. Is it as exciting as you...
  8. Belly Button Gunk

    I can hardly believe I'm saying this but on two seperate occassions now I have had drainage and a foul smell coming from my BB. I went to a doc the first time and he told me that it was because I...
  9. I am a pre-nursing student currently on a waitlist and an allnurses junky:) I have always thought I would enjoy L&D or maybe even ER, something fast paced but the more I read on allnurses about...

  11. Ok I did, now
  12. Hey there mybrowneyedgirl, I haven't talked to you in a while! I honestly have no idea what I am going to do. My husband brings it up all the time. I honestly don't think it's possible for us to...
  13. Hello, I just want to express my frustration after visiting my grandma in the hospital tonight. I am a pre-nursing student just waiting to be called for the program and after my experience tonight...
  14. preparing to be one of them????????????

    I just want to thank everyone who replied to my post, whether I felt your response was what I wanted to hear or not! In all honestly, after leaving the hospital that night the one thing that provoked...
  15. preparing to be one of them????????????

    You shouldn't be confused. If you read what I wrote, I said no one ever came in once, meaning that no one checked on her on their own accord. Then someone asked if we pushed the call light, I...
  16. preparing to be one of them????????????

    Perhaps you are right, I still stand firm though that there is no reason not to be pleasant to a patient. My grandmother was not rude or mean and the nurse was very stand-offish. She acted as if we...
  17. preparing to be one of them????????????

    I'd also like to state that there have been times when I have spoke up, as you suggest, only to be given attitude back and my family memeber would suffer the consiquence once I left. I am a warranty...
  18. preparing to be one of them????????????

    Actually, yes she did use the call button and the nurse did present herself. Not in a very friendly manner but none the less she did respond. I am not naive to the hospital environment and believe...
  19. I haven't done clinicals yet but for right now these would be my preferences: OB, OR, ER, NICU... I think I may be an adernaline junky, not sure how to tell exactly but the thought of working a...
  20. preparing to be one of them????????????

    Hopefully it was all due to shift change but it's not like it was the first time I've experienced it. I guess I was wondering, is there some type of requirement on how often you are supposed to check...
  21. preparing to be one of them????????????

    I guess it wasn't that I expected them to do anything specific but check in every so often. I know there isn't much they can do other than make sure she is getting her meds but she is running a fever...
  22. preparing to be one of them????????????

    Well shift change did occur while I was there. I arrived at 6pm and left at 8pm. Does shift change take 2 hours? There were alot of residents around too, not necessarily just nurses. I hope you...
  23. family thinks I'm MD

    That is too funny, I haven't even started nursing school and my grandma asks me what's wrong with her leg????? Why does it go numb she
  24. Do you get anything out of Labs?

    i personally prefer labs over lecture. i think they are more interesting and i personally learn more from them. just like tonyal, i always do better on lab tests than i do lecture. yeah, i wish...
