  1. Parentheral applications with each other at school?

    LeesieBug replied to gomedina's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    We did our injections on a little, special-made pillow. I wish we had been able to try it out on one another. That would have made it a lot less nerve wracking doing it the first time in clinical....

  2. About Vaccinations for Kids Starting School

    LeesieBug replied to Energizer Bunny's topic in School

    The mothers that I have run into that do not vaccinate their children have had either religious reasons or feel that vaccinations pose an undue risk to their children's health. Unless it has changed...

  3. Do you skip a lot of classes if attendance isn't taken? Be honest!

    LeesieBug replied to Star Trek Nerd's topic in General Students

    I don't know a single person in my program that "skips" nursing classes. You skip nursing classes, you fail....plain and simple. If there were people who skipped at the beginning, they either wisened...

  4. Do you skip a lot of classes if attendance isn't taken? Be honest!

    LeesieBug replied to Star Trek Nerd's topic in General Students

    This past semester I had a phych class taught by a grad student. I have NEVER missed as many classes as I did for that one. She, also, regurgitated book info, and had absolutely not one original...

  5. New to Ohio and frustrated

    LeesieBug replied to tomkat612's topic in Ohio Nursing

    For pete's sake....she wasn't trying to imply that you are not a nurse. Don't nit-pick at someone who hasn't had any experience in nursing, yet, over their choice of language, and turn it into an...

  6. I have to be bathed by my classmate???

    LeesieBug replied to Saved_by_Grace's topic in General Students

    Don't worry. I spent all last year freaked out about some upcoming embarrassment in lab, and NONE of it was any big deal. Nobody pressured anyone to do anything that they were uncomfortable with, and...

  7. How many days a week are you in class/clinicals?

    LeesieBug replied to studentnurse74's topic in General Students

    Heading into junior year we will be doing a total of: 6 hours lecture, 12 hours of clinical, 2 hours of lab, and 3 hours of "seminar" each week. I'm told that seminar is where we are assigned a topic...

  8. Ever have a major crush on a doctor

    LeesieBug replied to ninaldunn's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    That's so darn sweet...I agree 100%, and feel the same way about my own bluecollar man. I don't think I will have a problem with "Doctor crushes", because I have never been attracted to anything other...

  9. lpn-rn...same difference

    LeesieBug replied to reyna's topic in General Nursing

  11. Bathing a 7 y/o

    LeesieBug replied to Nurse2be's topic in General Nursing

    My daughter is seven,nearly eight, and she would NOT be a happy camper if her Dad, (whom she adores, and lives in the home, and sees everyday) helped her in the shower. She would be humiliated,...

  12. BSN or ADN? What S/I choose?

    LeesieBug replied to marelle's topic in Ohio Nursing

    Considering the fact that it will only take one more year, I would go with the BSN. Why not just get it all done in one shot? Actually, comparing the class sequences of Stark and Akron, you are really...

  13. No time to review patient charts

    LeesieBug replied to joey1967's topic in General Students

    Wow, I didn't know there were schools that did it that way. At least not in the beginning levels. It's always interesting to hear how other schools do things. I spend about six hours the night before...

  14. Question about rectal exam

    LeesieBug replied to rachel18us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Too funny...

  15. Question about rectal exam

    LeesieBug replied to rachel18us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I am quite aware of what is being discussed, and have never had it done as part of a pelvic exam. Never even had a physician bring it up. I have been polling family members and haven't found anyone...

  16. Question about rectal exam

    LeesieBug replied to rachel18us's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Yow! I have been missing out! I have never had a rectal exam with a pelvic. Hmmm...is it a regional thing? :chuckle I am going to have to start polling my

  17. Crying, Cursing in Class and other Drama

    LeesieBug replied to Sheri257's topic in General Students

    I agree that sometimes it is simply the added pressure nursing students can have. We are often in "do it right or flunk" situations, and depending on the situation that can really get to a person....

  18. Worried about my mom...any advice

    LeesieBug replied to Love4Me's topic in General Nursing

    I AGREE!!!!! She definitely needs a new doctor. Reading this has made me so ANGRY that MY blood pressure is probably through the roof! My father had a stroke at age 53, and now has CHF (age 60) due...

  19. Second Degree Accelerated or 5 semester BSN- Help me decide

    LeesieBug replied to careerdejour's topic in General Nursing

    I don't personally have experience with the accelerated BSN (I'm in a standard BSN program), but I have friends doing the accelerated that agree with this point. Many of them feel like they are just...

  20. Am I the ONLY person who had trouble just making a bed to nursing standards?

    LeesieBug replied to Roland's topic in General Students

    So far, our clinicals have been so busy that no one seems to give a hoot how well we make the beds, thank goodness.........just so they are made. I am glad, because with all the other stuff to worry...

  21. Can someone please explain a grade curve??

    LeesieBug replied to FutureNurse2005's topic in General Students

    We had an anatomy teacher that used a curve on nearly evey test, as the highest score was usually in the 60's. I can remember getting a 38%...it was a B with the curve! he just seemed to enjoy...

  22. What do I do...I witnessed pt. physical abuse

    LeesieBug replied to abnurse's topic in General Nursing

    I would have called to darn police, no warning. That is criminal, and completely

  23. How could non-nursing major graduates become RN?

    LeesieBug replied to rhp123's topic in Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist, CRNA

    Accelerated BSN programs are usually pretty darn quick. If you have one in your area you ahould check it out. Around here they take about 18 months to

  24. Do nursing schools actually conciously REALIZE they are being ridiculous or is it a..

    LeesieBug replied to Roland's topic in General Nursing

    Lord above...the solution to this is so simple. If a person feels they are truly being treated in an unjust fashion it is time to grow a pair, and discuss it with those in charge in a professional,...

  25. Bedside is Best

    LeesieBug replied to ADNRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think a large part of the reason behind that is students become aware of exactly the same things that so many experienced nurses complain about......poor working conditions. Some students just may...
