My boyfriend was a patient in the hospital where he works recently and we both had a terrible experience. Besides giving him coffee with curdled milk in it and refusing to make more because "that's just the way cream settles" and "we're out of coffee...

Why would you not believe what a stranger said? That is called judgment, assuming they must be lying for whatever reasons you've created in your head.

Thank you

Thank you.

There was not a code going on at the moment. The charge nurse definitely would not have been able to come if there were. It had happened earlier in the shift and she was busy with the paperwork is what she said. Also trival is not a word. You must k...

The caffeine was for his migraine. It wasn't a food request just cause he felt like a hot cup of coffee or something. Also, he was not wearing his badge out of his room. He clipped it to his gown for 10 minutes while kidding around. Boy I feel like e...

Thank you for your reply. I tried to hold off on telling them! I swear! Haha. I don't know why everyone thinks this code was in the ER! We were on the floor, and It wasn't happening at the time we spoke to the charge nurse, it happened beforehand. Sh...

The manager actually did not know because he did not have to call out. He does not work full time there. Also the milk was already in the coffee so we could not ask for more milk. My boyfriend was frustrated that he had migraine pain and they would n...

Is it so hard to believe that judgments can be made and patients can be treated poorly at times?

Actually my boyfriend's manager was NOT directly involved in his care. She was several floors away, so there was no reason for her to know about his care or even his stay. We never made unrealistic requests or demands. When his pain wasn't treated an...

Hi, I am enrolled for fall in the versant program. Does anyone know what is generally worn to the lectures? Is it scrubs or street clothes? THANKS! Also any other info about the program would be appreciated if you feel like sharing! Have a grea...

I would seriously consider quitting my job. They put your nursing license at risk. If something happened it would still be your responsibility/fault. I'm so sorry this happened to you! Truly.

I was a monitor tech for a little over a year while in nursing school. The experience was really beneficial. I now work on a telemetry unit and all those hours of watching the monitors really helped me get comfortable. If that's an area you want t...

it's so comforting to know i'm not alone! believe it or not, i came on here today to write almost the exact same thing i just read by you. i am a new nurse. i graduated in may but i took the summer off. i started my job in october on a telemetry...

Hi all, I am a brand new nurse one month out on the job. I went in to a patient's room today to disconnect the IV antibiotic and flush the line, and I put on gloves. The nurse who orients me said she never wears gloves to flush an IV and asked me ...

Thanks everybody! The input has been very helpful.

i can't, for the life of me, figure out how to reply to your message!! so i'll just say thanks here! i don't know why i didn't know about that site but it has everything i need. thanks!! :)

hi thanks for the reply. do you have that website? i did not receive the email for some reason. i would really appreciate it. see you soon! haha

hey thanks for the reply, are you sure it's business casual on the first day though? i remember a paper saying that for the interviews but not for the first day. the only reason to dress up i think would be for the photos. i will have to look back ...

I'm enrolled in the program starting next month. It's at the University Medical Center at Brackenridge. It is said to be a big lecture class like apparently over 100 people. You get a mentor for the days when you are on your unit in the hospital....

I didn't JUST use saunders but it was my tool for probably 90% of my studying. I used Kaplan for just 3 tests and Drexel for about 2 or 3 tests. I used the Saunders book though didn't get through the whole thing, and I used the CD on the day before...

I found out today!! I celebrated by going out for a delish chinese dinner, and now I'm going to have some wine and watch a movie and RELAX since it's been so long since I could! And tonight I'll probably get a better night's sleep than I have in a ...

I had 81 or 82 questions and the same amount of SATA and med questions as you. I found out today that I passed! Somebody else in my class passed with 90. Hope that helps you feel a little better :) Good luck!!!

I took ATI a few months ago and it gave me a 91% chance of passing. We had to have an 88% or above or else the school would assign us a tutor and a study schedule. However, they told us that a student who had a 99% chance of passing got all the way...

Thanks everybody for your feedback. If I can stand to wait for it to be posted tomorrow then I will. If I'm going crazy then I'll pay the $7.50 and just get it over with. I don't want to hear them say, "I'm sorry, you did not pass." That will be ...
