1. The student nurse

   Utopia replied to musickx2's topic in General Nursing

   Um what? Two things here. One, you don't know a single nurse who hates student nurses? Well, your post was completely unnecessary and oozes resentment towards nursing students Two, having a student nurse creates additional work for you? How so? Beca...

2. The student nurse

   Utopia replied to musickx2's topic in General Nursing

   You shouldn't feel like a jerk or a nuisance. Continuing competence is an integral part of nursing and no one should make you feel like you need to kiss the ground they walk on because they're sharing their knowledge with you. I'm so tired of these h...

3. "Sorry, I can't... I have to study!"

   Utopia replied to Brookes1129's topic in General Students

   I say it so often, I think I should get it tattooed across my forehead. But you know what? I don't care because in a few years I'll be RN and it would have all been worth it. And, if these people care about you, they will understand the countless amo...

4. Ryerson

   Utopia replied to MikeeD12's topic in International

   Hi Mikee, I'm actually in my first semester of the collaborative degree program at the Centennial site. I was an applicant for the Ryerson site but was given an alternate offer to Centennial because my average wasn't high enough. I know I'm only goi...

   Utopia replied to anne5852002's topic in International

   Thanks, I'm so excited :) I just bought a new laptop yesterday and got the last of my requirements completed. Woo hoo!!! Thanks so much for your help. Keep me posted on how your last year is going :) I'll definitely be bugging you again with question...

   Utopia replied to anne5852002's topic in International

   Yeah I always have wanted to get into NICU or peds as well, second choice would be OR but I'm assuming that you need specific training for that. Another question about clinicals (sorry I'm such a pest, but Centennial is so vague, lol). Do you usually...

8. Anyone else starting nursing school in the fall???

   Utopia replied to anne5852002's topic in International

   Haha, thanks for the help. I guess going into my first year in a whole new subject is intimidating me. I was a business major up until a few months ago so you can see why I'm kind of nervous . Yeah, for some reason Centennial only offered those two e...

10. Anyone else starting nursing school in the fall???

    Utopia replied to anne5852002's topic in International

    Wow, thanks a lot! It's good to find someone who has attended Centennial the first two years. I've talked to people who started at GB and Ryerson, but never Centennial Just curious to know: how many people flunked out the first year or two at Centen...

11. What specialties are you considering??

    Utopia replied to newbie08's topic in General Students

    I begin in September, so my preferences may change once I experience different specialties. The specialties I am interested in at the moment are: -Neonatal intensive care (of course, lol) -Pediatric intensive care -Nephrology -Perioperative But, I'll...

    Utopia replied to anne5852002's topic in International

    Congratulations! I'm starting at Ryerson University (in the fall as well). I have to tell you though, waiting for school to start is almost as nerve-wracking as it was waiting for my acceptance. I was so scared I wasn't going to get in, I lost sleep ...

13. What happen after 3 CRNE fails

    Utopia replied to le_2008's topic in International

    That's kind of harsh, wouldn't you say? After all, the person is smart enough to have passed four years of nursing school, but because they failed a test three times, that means they aren't suited to be a nurse? I'm sure some people who don't deserve...

14. Cry baby, or emotionally challanged?

    Utopia replied to eljamstudent's topic in General Students

    I'm exactly like you. The other day I was watching a rerun of Hopkins (not a favorite of this site's posters, I know ) and I started to cry when a kid was about to go into surgery, when the mother started crying, and when the kid was playing soccer i...

15. Conflicts w. Med Lab Technologists

    Utopia posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone, I'm curious to know if there are departments or staff members of the hospital that nurses usually butt heads with? I've been speaking to a Medical Technologist and she says her department does not get along with nurses at all, and compar...
