    Can't get over my anxiety in clinicals, and this is my 3rd semester

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to bella65's topic in General Students

    You are definitely not making excuses! Everyone's past seems to find away of creeping up, even in adulthood, when you are successful with your own kids. I can relate. Do you go to counseling at all?...

    going back into nursing school after a year off

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to dawnoverb72's topic in General Students

    What you need to do is touch base with some of your faculty, and make sure they are aware that you are on board with doing whatever you have to to make sure you are up to snuff: 1-Go to the skills...

    Standing out in nursing school

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I'm not sure I really get the "prude" thing either. Are you referring to people who are naive? If so, you gotta remember we all come into nursing school with different levels of life experience,...

    At a Loss to help Students That Won't Help Themselves, and I'm Going to Lose My Job

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to clinicalteach's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    Sounds like a school I used to work for Having said that, I do see differences in schools that have stricter (or some) requirements/criteria for admission. I went from a for-profit school to a...

    Was this a A Violation of Hipaa?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    I'm really having a hard time with the "the doctor is afraid of dogs" line. Not saying that it wasn't said, but a guide dog?? c'mon! These aren't pit-bulls! These dogs go throught some serious...

    Was this a A Violation of Hipaa?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Trekfan's topic in General Nursing

    With all due respect, this whole situation sounds a bit "off". Just too many things that do not sound right here. And if this was really the way it went down, you need to find a new doctor AND you...

    Grades are Posted!!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to AKA_Glamour_Pearl's topic in General Nursing

    What she said. Therefore, it is truly not a "curve". The faculty reviews the item analysis, to see what other answers were "popular" responses. But of course, the alternate answer has to be feasible....

    Clinical Instructor - PLEASE give me your thoughts/advice!

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NICURN2013's topic in General Students

    As a clinical instructor, I see some things that I am nodding my head in agreement about, and things I am shaking my head (saying (Oh no!!) about. -With student ratios being what they are, there is no...

    Our ADON says that ICU is boring... Is it true.

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    I don't have a ton of ICU experience. I was cross-trained in a PICU for staffing reasons. I've floated to NICU enough times to know I don't want to work there. To me, being in front of one...

    Any Tips for New Moms on Nightshift?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Mary C's topic in General Nursing

    Welcome to the world of sleep deprivation !!! After not being very successful in working nights and raising an infant (who is now 11), there are a few things I would have done differently: Invest in...

    Tell them I'm pregnant?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to RockRay's topic in General Nursing

    News flash: you will not be the first pregnant nursing student. As someone who used to interview potential nursing students, it is not my business what your intentions are. We do, in a round about...

    St Pauls LPN challenge

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Stephanieee's topic in New York Nursing

    I believe they still do. I know at one point, after it became St Pauls, they did. At this point, anything is possible though. I would contact the admissions rep to find out for sure. If he/she does...

    Curious of other schools' policies about MED MATH EXAMS at the start of each semester

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to hamburgers911's topic in New York Nursing

    This policy (in various, yet similar variations) is in practice in most every school. It is vital that students master these concepts (whether or not the computer is doing it for you IRL). As an...

    About to leave nursing school

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to workinghardforit's topic in General Students

    I have not read anyone's replies, so it is possible I am reiterating what is already here (either that or totally contradicting it). It is OK if this is NOT what you want to do, or if it's not what...

    Angry mom made me cry last week

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MA Nurse's topic in NICU, Neonatal

    You could not have said that any better! As a peds nurse (on the side), there were so many times I felt that way. I've worked in peds LTC and oncology. Even in general peds (where a gastro seems like...

    Prove my Mom wrong, please

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to NurseBanana's topic in General Nursing

    If that is the case (which is entirely understandable), then it makes the most sense that you do whatever you can to avoid becoming pregnant, and let the chips fall where they may after you graduate...

    failed foundations of nursing

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to snowybee's topic in General Students

    It's very hard to tell these days, but the point is, the way one presents themselves is usually a reflection on their character, intelligence and abilities. I use text-speak with my friends, but would...

    "Bait and Switch" and "Social Experiment" thread titles

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to nursel56's topic in General Nursing

    It is the new reality we live in now. I am cautious not to say it is the new generation, because us old folks (lol) are adapting to it as well. We want any and all questions answered immediately. As...

    should I include job evaluation with my resume?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to Ms.RN's topic in General Nursing

    In grad school, part of our final course was an evaluation of our portfolio. Throughout the program we were advised on what we should include (ie major papers, research, publications), as well as our...

    How do you define "piggyback"?

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to MunoRN's topic in General Nursing

    Wow, this thread can be very confusing to the student or novice nurse. These terms are too often used interchangably. A piggyback technically needs something to latch on to. If the patient is "locked"...

    Finally understand the Facebook no-no's

    ReinventingMyselfAgain replied to raebabelvn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I have many friends who are older than me that use it way more than I do (I am approaching late 30's... Sigh). Now that I have an iPhone, I find myself using it much more, and for no good reason...
