    Nursing student and over weight

    chevyv replied to intensity_too's topic in General Students

    I'm an XL student as well. Don't bet on losing # in ns however. I find myself sitting and doing alot of reading and munching. Haven't lost a pound but did manage to gain about 5. When I'm done and...

    Merck suspends lobbying for Gardasil vaccine

    chevyv replied to NRSKarenRN's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Mandated or not, I would not allow my daughter to get it. I thought that way before this thread and now even more so. I simply won't take a chance on my daughters life because a pharm company comes...

    chevyv replied to healinghands201's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I, too am in my last semester and bombed the 1st exam. I barely passed the 2nd. We need an 80 on each exam and if you miss that then you have to do some remedial assignment. So now I have a 5-10 pg...

    i need advice. i'm frustrated with how i'm behaving and my attitude

    chevyv replied to mashamontago's topic in General Nursing

    Do you think you may have some depression going on? The reason I ask is that you seem to be feeling a bit down, your time line is definately off (might be stress though), and your general...

    What happens when everyone fails?

    chevyv replied to melisgood's topic in General Students

    If the majority of the class fails, I would hope the instructor would take a long look in the mirror and figure out how she/he first failed in teaching the class. One of my instructors actually stood...

    chevyv replied to ilovematt48's topic in General Nursing

    Your so close to finishing, that perhaps you should finish. With a nursing degree under your belt, you can go on to so many different things. Even if you want to go on in school, you have this...

    Everyone's laughing except me.

    chevyv replied to RNcDreams's topic in General Nursing

    Haven't met a nurse yet that can say they hit it each and every time. I worked with a male nurse, when I was cna, and we had about 5 foleys placed wrong and hanging there before he finally landed it....

    Fail my CNA Class

    chevyv replied to dipsett08's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    I'm so sorry to hear you didn't make it. We need every cna we can get. Do you mind if I ask what your weak points are? In our school we have to be cna certified to be in the program. The only...

    Passing rate for your school?

    chevyv replied to ashemson's topic in General Students

    Our's is 80% on each exam and 80% on class work. They don't care if you get 100% in class work if one of your exams is 79 and the others are 80%, you'll be repeating. You may repeat 1 course. If...

    I know this is going to sound really off, but I was always interested in researching sexually transmitted diseases. It's amazing what can happen in the brain of a pt who has an untreated STD from...

    Infuriating Responses To Questions

    chevyv replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    As a student, I can say that if I asked a question and the instructor told me to research and present the answer to the class, I have to admit it would be the last question I'd be asking. I guess...

    2 weeks notice next year because I want to move out?

    chevyv replied to Wheaties's topic in General Nursing

    If you know what city you want to live in, you can check out job openings online. Most of them you can apply online as well. If travil nursing isn't for you, consider this idea. You can always take...

    how did you handle it?

    chevyv replied to greysanatomyfan's topic in General Students

    This is so very common. It takes a long time (and might not ever happen the whole time your a student) to get into a new routine. Your hubby is just a bit shocked at his added responsibility not...

    Infuriating Responses To Questions

    chevyv replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I'm not sure, but I'm a wee bit past the phase of 'obedience'. I truly am wanting to learn, but no matter, I'll figure it out as I go. I also understand that ns is the hoop I have to jump through to...

    Infuriating Responses To Questions

    chevyv replied to ADPIE10's topic in General Students

    I often wonder if instructors don't think I read the material. I ask a question because I didn't understand it in the reading or I am trying to think outside the box. What infuriates me more is when...

    What is this?

    chevyv replied to txoldiebutgoodie's topic in General Students

    Above posters explained what a picc is so all I can add is that some hospitals have different protocol regarding heparin push and you'll have to check the protocol there. The Groshong shouldn't need...

    chevyv replied to Kitty Hawk's topic in General Students

    I'm very sorry to read about your loss. I know that many people can buckle down and get lost in their studies, but I'm not one of them. I find I can't concentrate or remember anything. You just do...

    I was just about done with a ba in health care administration when my number came up on the wait list for the nursing program. Maybe something along administration? Keeps you in health care and...

    chevyv replied to FireStarterRN's topic in General Nursing

    I think the OP was venting. I'm sure each and every one has had a difficult pt that really got under our skin. This is a place where collegues can come together for support when we've had a bad day....

    So stressed out :(

    chevyv replied to Jamie-Sue's topic in General Students

    I believe this is the key. NS is so much different than any other major out there. The instructor is making you think as a nurse from day 1 of Fundamentals. This can be very difficult for most of...

    Devastated beyond belief....and I don't even know what to change.

    chevyv replied to justme1972's topic in General Students

    Honestly, if more than 1/4 of the class bomb a test, the instructor should be looking in the mirror and figure out what he/she can do differently. It is an instructor
