  1. Question about C-diff

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to kappykatlpn's topic in Infectious Disease

    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??

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to hirochan's topic in General Nursing

    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

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Mattsgrl83's topic in General Nursing

    :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

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to aminv's topic in General Nursing

    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

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to aminv's topic in General Nursing

    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.

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to KY RN's topic in General Nursing

    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)

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to running_nurse's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to BroncoSmoLVN's topic in General Nursing

    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

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to DolceVita's topic in General Nursing

    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

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to georgeoftheforge's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to jschut's topic in General Nursing

    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?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to rkitty198's topic in General Nursing

    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!

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to NurseMarla's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    :cheers::dncgbby::dncgcpd::clphnds::dancgrp::anpom::urck: Congratulations! Hope that's me a year from now.

  15. About to take Anatomy & Physiology.........need input!

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Shawn7997's topic in General Nursing

    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...

  16. Comments from the peanut gallery....

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    I think I need an assignment from allnurses.com professors.. 100 times handwritten.. I will not make "profound" statements during a vent. And then, just to make it nursing school like, make sure I...

  17. Riding a Motorcycle to Interview. Good Idea?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to Speed Freak's topic in General Nursing

    I don't think most places would see you pull up anyway. Like most people said, just make sure you tidy up before the interview. It's a shame that some people still have those outrageous biases...

  18. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    Could not live without my Taber's med

  19. Does Your School Give Priority Registration to Certain People?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to jpeters84's topic in General Students

    My school does not have any type of preference over registration.. But in order to get into the program, they do take into account if you are a county student or not since it's a county community...

  20. Comments from the peanut gallery....

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    I never said to lay down and be a doormat.. Just have known people who have dropped into that sad (and, I agree.. ridiculous) gang road. Nor did I ever say that anyone here is a mean or uncaring...

  21. In 10 years...

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to CainRN's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Working in the ER, OR, or doing the research so we know what works

  22. 3 males out of a class of 30, anyone else feel overpowered?

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to baedwards4's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Sorry guys, was lurking here... We only have one guy in our class of thirty.. Some days he has to take a joke or two, but he's good about it. I think it is very admirable for a male (or anyone) to...

  23. Comments from the peanut gallery....

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to emtb2rn's topic in Emergency

    Maybe there is more behind their lives than we know. Who's to judge? People don't become like that for no

  24. The Nerve!!!

    NurseWannabe1129 replied to KellyCCRN's topic in Online Distance Learning

    I think the assignment would be more fitting if the professor told the students to write a letter about their position on EC. This is just another sorry example of how professors try to influence...
