  1. How do you feel about wearing the nursing caps for pinning?

    tnrose replied to MnemonicFanatic's topic in General Students

    I'm not planning on attending either myself, but I am curious from your reply if it is necessary in your school to attend in order to graduate, from your post it seems that

  2. Concerns with brand new nurses

    tnrose replied to NursePeace's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I have to say that I don't think NursePeace was rude in her postings. 2 years may not be a lot of experience, but you can see and learn a lot in those 2

  3. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    tnrose replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    Again, I feel like some pt's, (especially those with chronic conditions), are scared they wont' get the meds in a timely manner like they do at home so they get a little stressed. Maybe it's because...

  4. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    tnrose replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    That's what I've been trying to say, the CNA's/ PCP's are part of the nursing team, it's those PT's and housekeepers that really get on my

  5. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    tnrose replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I agree, I medicate if I have an order unless decreased resp., LOC, etc. I think it's easier for me as a nurse, the rest of the staff, and the pt. if I follow the doc's orders, it's not for me to...

  6. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    tnrose replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I really don't consider CNA's/PCP's ancillary staff, is it just me?? I think of RT, PT,

  7. "Your patient in 520 is in pain!"

    tnrose replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I wouldn't consider you ancillary staff. I see the Aids/PCP's at our facility as valuable resources for this type of information. I always listen because for the most part they are as familiar, (or...

  8. "The Disruptive Behavior of Doctors"

    tnrose replied to dharmanurse's topic in General Nursing

    Why do you doubt they spend time in forums like this complaining? Do you feel like it's because they are more mature, or it's because of the status you assign to someone with a MD behind their

  9. Nursing school Experience

    tnrose replied to MystyqueOne's topic in General Students

    I actually spent more time on assignments than preparing for the tests. I am one of those people who cram the day before the exam. I'm sorry to say that I have had a terrible experience with nursing...

  10. Almost the end of the semester and I would rather...

    tnrose replied to happilymarried's topic in General Students

    I know what you mean, it's all I can do to drag myself out of bed and into clinical or class, I think because it's almost the end I'm just so over

  11. Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology, anyone successfully complete these in one term?

    tnrose replied to Ickles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    oh yes she can, don't

  12. Microbiology, Anatomy, Physiology, anyone successfully complete these in one term?

    tnrose replied to Ickles's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You can do it. I took micro, A & P, and Problem Stats in one semester while working part time, ended up with A's in all. Don't get me wrong, it didn't come easy, I was almost insane and totally...

  13. My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

    tnrose replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

    Uhh, Had a nursing instructor tell a student she had "deserted her patient" just the other day in clinical, because she held off on changing a dressing that she was instructed to do in order to help...

  14. My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

    tnrose replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

    And it should also allow time to mistakes and time to learn from them to

  15. My clinical instructor threw me out of clinical!

    tnrose replied to Nightbloom's topic in General Students

    I think that a nursing student in clinical could certainly be flustered, and appear that way as well without realizing it. I thought that the clinical experience was supposed to also be a learning...

  16. Nursing student taking drugs

    tnrose replied to txpatches's topic in General Students

    Personally, I think that drinking in moderation while off-duty should be no different than smoking. Acually, I bet if someone drank to excess the night before work they would probably be affected...

  17. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    tnrose replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    was that really necessary? I don't think she was asking for a spell

  18. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    tnrose replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    who said it was

  19. Descrimination: A full hot meal or soup and a sandwich

    tnrose replied to Truth66's topic in General Nursing

    Just to be clear, and maybe clear up some of the other post, are your meals free or are you expected to pay for them? I think that makes a big

  20. Worst doctors orders ever received

    tnrose replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    as with other post, I don't really think, (and excuse me if I am wrong), that anyone is looking for advice, just posting funny or different orders from

  21. Worst doctors orders ever received

    tnrose replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    I applaud your caring attitude, but i think the poster was just saying that if the pt. was able to take care of their own feeding, then it wasn't necessary to write the order to feed, this is supposed...

  22. Worst doctors orders ever received

    tnrose replied to jenfromjersey's topic in Emergency

    I think this forum is to report strange/funny orders, not to imply that the person posting isn't taking it seriously or didn't follow

  23. How much from nursing school do you retain??

    tnrose replied to believeallispossible's topic in General Nursing
