    How much is too much when your class has uninvited guests?

    chevyv replied to Blueorchid's topic in General Students

    I'm in 4th semester and don't have time to 'check' on other classes of ns! I would honestly bring it up to my instructor after class. If it doesn't help, hopefully you can ignore him and make...

    chevyv replied to beatriceb321's topic in General Nursing

    You finally make it through and have a desire to work in ER. Go for it! Don't let anyone stop you from following your dream. He really needs to see that ER is what you want and he should support...

    Should a nursing instructor tell a student they are not nursing material.

    chevyv replied to motivated2nurse's topic in General Students

    Here's one for you, maybe you can tell the student to come into the lab when your there and work with them? Really, head to toe assessments are easy, but I remember when I first started it seemed...

    Contaminated Scrubs..do you wear scrubs to the stores

    chevyv replied to Nurseismade RN's topic in General Nursing

    This was a hot topic a few months back. For me, I have no problem running into the store for groceries and no, I do not hover over the fruits and veggies! I work pms and there are barely any...

    Is it normal to feel this way?

    chevyv replied to Saturnalia's topic in General Students

    If you hate it now, it will only get worse, much worse once you become a nurse. Do something you'll like (love if possible). You'll be much happier! Good luck to

    Needsome feedback about nursing school....

    chevyv replied to ngillilan1's topic in General Nursing

    My professor did what?!??

    chevyv replied to darthgirl's topic in General Students

    OMG what was she thinking sending you in to do post mortem cares!!!!! Make sure you write that one up! I agree that was cruel and wrong. It sounds like she's nuts. It's one thing to not be sitting...

    I think we missed the signs and my pt died because of it

    chevyv replied to picurn10's topic in General Students

    This stinks for you! Please don't let what happened make you feel responsible. You are the student. You did exactly what you are supposed to do when your a student. You assessed and passed on your...

    chevyv replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Since I have no idea how your instructor relates the stories to the powerpoint, which should correlate with the reading, all I can say is to just try to get through it. Yes, we all pay alot to learn,...

    Do You Wear Gloves When...

    chevyv replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you all for your input. I'm going to continue on with how I do things for now. When I go into the clinic, the lpn/ma doesn't wear gloves to take my vitals and neither does my physician. When...
