O wow .. it's not just my class that has the class idiot. I actually have a list of people who are never allowed to care for me should I end up in the hospital, and half of my classmates are named on it. One of my friends joked about how she thought it was so incredible that she got accepted into the nursing program, till she met most of our classmates, and realized it wasn't so special afterall. This same one who made the dumb comment about diabetes and juice bolus asked during psych nursing if when someone were to have a loss of self-esteem following an intense period of grief, would it ever be possible for them to get that self-esteem back? Or was it lost forever from their "self-loving" bank.

i am reading this during nursing class ... yeah i'm a good student. I snorted I was laughing so hard. I have tears running down my face.:w00t:

The other day we were discussing diabetes in class, and a classmate asked as seriously as you can imagine if it would be appropriate to give fruit juice through an IV line with a patient has extreme hypoglycemia, because that might be faster than a bolus of D50. i couldn't do anything but pick my jaw up off the floor when she asked the question.

thanks .. i wondered if it was too good to be true.

I overheard some nurses talking the other night about a travel company that was offering 100K dollars for three months of travel nursing in Alaska during the dark months of the winter. Does anybody know more information about this? I was passing through and didn't get the find out the name of the company. I'd really like to know more about this, and if it's even legit. Thanks!
