If the facility has a policy- it needs to be followed. Nothing the lockers then nothing in the lockers. HOWEVER.....we hear all of the time in this litigious society to "document, document, document" in order to protect ourselves and there could be...

Get out now. This is craziness. The NM has shown where her loyalty is- with the CNA. Go to to another floor or hospital ASAP. I totally and completely agree wth caliotter3 who said that once an RN it is not wise to remain the same place that you...

This is most likely a leadership problem of the unit more than anything else. People (yes, us included.) will do what we are allowed to get away with. Either the boss doesn't know this goes on and they need to be informed for it to change OR the bo...

what happened?? i have add too so i am curious.

There are also really good ADD/ADHD threads started on the 'Nurses with Disabilities' Forum. I discovered my ADD in my late 30's when I failed a nursing class. It makes so much sense why all through school growing up things were harder for me. I ...

I am not in VA but close to it and for me, voc rehab will pay for some books, diagnosis of my disability (which I had already paid for out of pocket but I'm trying to get reimbursed. It was $1,000!!) and I think there may be other things as well suc...

(((seekinganonymity))) I have experienced verbal and emotional abuse in a dating relationship when I was in my early 30's so I can empathize with you a little. First, he isn't going to change. I know that he may have Bipolar and may become consist...

I was taught to swab. I even saw some of the dirt come off on the swab myself. I was surprised and grossed out and I know that some don't swab depending on who their clinical instructor was and what their philosophy is.

I think it is more of a HUGE violation of our First Amendment Rights (Free Speech.) We should be able to say A LOT of things on our Facebook/Twitter that are legally protected. I believe that most of these employers are overstepping their legal bound...

I am in real danger of failing the hospital (clinical) portion of my critical care rotation. I have 2 weeks left which is 2 more times at the hospital. I have ADHD and Anxiety which I am medicated for (not sure how well they are working!) there are s...

Sadly, I don't think that you will be able to start in the Fall. BUT- you can use that time to take science classes at community college you'll need like Anatomy & Physiology, Microbiology and maybe ones like Human Growth and Development, Divers...

UPDATE!!! All is ok!!! Thanks for your good thoughts and prayers!!

No, But do know from a screen name that a fellow classmate is on here. 100% sure. It's fine though- she doesn't know I know and she doesn't know why my screen name is what it is.

Did anyone receive any accommodations in clinicals? What were they? Were they offered or did you have to be persistant? How did they help or not help? Thanks!!!

I would stay at CCAC. Hospital-based nursing programs have more cons than pros. I won't get into all of it but the biggest one is that if stay at CCAC you can transfer ALL of your credits for a BSN. You can't with a Diploma.

Not so good. It doesn't look like I'll have the time left to be able to raise those numbers so I think that I will go through the appeal process to move forward. I am going to start a new thread about that. Thanks so much for your concern! Keep ...

Go for it!! Don't even give your RN school classmates one second of your time!! Go to class, take notes, study and have a repeat GREAT performance!! I have ADHD and I know that there are ADHD Coaches that some use to navigate through school, work...

:eek:When I am the clinical part of my nursing training I literally feel myself getting anxious and "dumber" as I am walking in or talking to my instructor and classmates on the floor at the hospital. If I was followed around by a hidden camera peop...

There are lots of dyanamics that come into play in these situations; sadly, very few have anything to do with the real issue at hand or patient care. The dyanmics have to do with a lot of the pettiness that women deal with with since elementary schoo...

I am betting money that the RN program is a hospital-based diploma program. Sadly, they don't operate in the same way a university or community college does at all. I know as I have a degree from a university and took all of my nursing pre-requs at a...

If she was already hostile and spreading rumors she is going to totally lose her mind over you being promoted "over her." What the doc needs to do is 1.) Fire her, get an MA who insn't toxic to the workplace and rude to patients. In this economy, ...
