  1. Question about C-diff

    Not sure the answer to your question but I was just thinking that the understanding I have of C. diff is that we all have it in our GI tract. The problem with C. diff comes after being exposed to...
  2. accurate I&O's possible??

    I wondered about this often during my previous semesters of nursing school. I wonder if a detailed explanation of the importance of I&O to the patient would make it a little easier to record. I...
  3. Ahh! Huge mistake

    :offtopic: I think most of us in (or going into) the nursing profession realize the value of someone who can admit to their mistakes.. Cheer up, I don't think you have anything to worry
  4. nurses with hearing aid

    I got mine at a home medical store, but they are available online. The only problem I sometimes have with it is you have to have a VERY steady hand. They can be quite costly too. I think mine...
  5. nurses with hearing aid

    I'm a student about to go get fitted for hearing aids. If anything, you would be doing yourself a disservice to not wear them if you need them. It really is a matter of patient safety when it comes...
  6. I guess I'm too HOT to be a nurse.

    You would think the interviewer would have just said you were qualified but wouldn't fit into their culture. Guess she never watched Beauty and the Beast. They seemed to work well
  7. Nurses and social networking sites (Facebook, Myspace, etc)

    I don't think I would ever befriend a patient on an internet site. It would only be a matter of time before they start asking for medical advice. While it would be nice to see the improvement in a...
  8. Question: Why don't hospitals color code the scrubs?

    The last hospital I did clinicals at color coded. As a student, I loved it! Really easy to tell who was who. The nurses wore all white. There is something about the all white thing I just like. I...
  9. Last name on badges?

    I never really thought of this but now that I've seen this post I will definitely do more to protect myself. Tape, here I
  10. The reality of educating patients about their meds

    Patient education is an issue I became very passionate about this semester. While there may not always be the time to sit down and educate, there is always time along the way. To me, educating the...
  11. Options needed for student nurse

    I know everyone has already pointed this out, but B's really don't get you into nursing school. Maybe that is what the dean is meaning by the statistics saying he would not be a good candidate or...
  12. Are there videos of nursing procedures?

    Mosby makes videos with nursing procedures. My school shows the video, then demonstrates in the lab, and then has us
  13. Are you aware of how you conduct yourself in public?

    I'm not a nurse yet.. But even as a student I have (for the better) changed my lifestyle. It was something that was due and getting started in nursing just helped to foster it. I'm not saying I don't...
  14. I passed the NCLEX!

    :cheers::dncgbby::dncgcpd::clphnds::dancgrp::anpom::urck: Congratulations! Hope that's me a year from now.
  15. About to take Anatomy & Physiology.........need input!

    Agreed with most of the postings here. I found for A&P 1 that the coloring book was really helpful! It's kind of fun to sit there and color the bones and the whole time you say the name of the...
