  2. Wayne County Community College District

    RN1982 replied to Taurus_'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    When I was at HFCC, we had peds, OB and transition in one semester. 5 weeks of each. Yeah it was tough but its no reason to blame the instructors. Fast-track programs are not for

  3. CNA issues.....

    RN1982 replied to Virgo_RN's topic in General Nursing

    I would speak with your manager regarding this CNA. He may be a student, that's fine but he doesn't have a license or the authority to be discussing patient's medications with them. Secondly, he's a...

  4. What Would You Like to Chart if You Can Get Away With It?

    RN1982 replied to pagandeva2000's topic in General Nursing

    19 yo GSW patient. Vital signs stable. Acting like big baby. (On a side note, I find it frustrating when I have these GSW patients who are young and get shot because they are involved in gang...

  5. Wayne County Community College District

    RN1982 replied to Taurus_'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    Seriously, I'm sick of people blaming instructors for having failed their nursing programs. It just seems too easy to put the blame on people who are there to teach you. They are not there to hold...

  6. Failing Last Semester of NSG school ... HELP

    RN1982 replied to SonicnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    I also think that sometimes when you study for extended periods of time, you don't retain as much. I found it better to read for 30 minutes then take a 15 minute break. It worked for me. Sometimes you...

  7. Nurses eat anybody young old and indifferent

    RN1982 replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    AND people wonder why there is such a "shortage" of nurses. Who wants to put up with the constant "You did this or that wrong, you must be

  8. Failing Last Semester of NSG school ... HELP

    RN1982 replied to SonicnurseRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a little tough love from someone who has been in your shoes. There have to be reasons why you are not passing your exams and it's not the professors' fault, so stop blaming them. No more blame...

  9. Wayne County Community College District

    RN1982 replied to Taurus_'s topic in Michigan Nursing

    When I started HFCC's program about 1/3 dropped first semester. Big deal. That's when you find out who is going to make it and who isn't. Nursing school is hard and you have to consider the students...

  10. WCCC does NOT have an accredited nursing program

    RN1982 replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Bottom line is that BSN/MSN programs are looking for applicants who graduated from nursing programs that are approved by the State board of nursing not NLNAC or any organization for that matter.....

  11. Double Glove with HIV positive patients

    RN1982 replied to abbaking's topic in General Nursing

    To be honest, I'm more concerned about being "double gloved" when caring for a Hep C positive

  12. WCCC does NOT have an accredited nursing program

    RN1982 replied to nurseO9's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Candygyrl raises a good question. I have friends who have graduated from non-accredited programs i.e. WCCCD who have went for their BSN and MSNs with no problem. The only acreditation that matters is...

  14. Nurse Externs

    RN1982 replied to CandyGyrl's topic in Michigan Nursing

    Hope some of you apply for SICU internships at HFH. It's a wonderful learning experience and plus you are considered for hire into SICU after you graduate over new grads who didn't do an ICU...

  15. Flexchoice at St. John's

    RN1982 replied to RN1982's topic in Michigan Nursing

  19. Will I get fired?

    RN1982 replied to johnnyDoGood's topic in General Nursing

    Are you a nurse? For the love of ___, I sincerely hope not. About the other nurse's affair with a married doctor, STAY OUT OF IT. It is NONE of your business what another person does. Do you think...

  20. What would you say....

    RN1982 replied to SweetLemon's topic in General Nursing

    There are nurses who took the NCLEX 2 or 3 times, doesn't make them any less of a nurse. If any of your NCLEX review books have Cd-roms, take the tests. Answer as many questions as you can because you...

  21. Too respectful to doctors?

    RN1982 replied to nursemike's topic in General Nursing

  25. Need Advice Badly

    RN1982 replied to futurenicunurse2008's topic in General Nursing

    Why would you get "stuck" in med-surg? No one gets stuck there or anywhere. Do a year of med-surg, move on to telemetry or step down if you don't feel comfy with going to ICU right
