  1. I had a panic attack at clinical last night...

    Carolanne replied to hrjqtpie's topic in General Students

    I would suggest going to see your family doctor and describe to him/ her what is going on. I had very similar symptoms last year - getting very uptight, panicky, BP way up, beet red face, heart...

  2. Teacher's Pet

    Carolanne replied to Nurse-o-Matic's topic in General Students

    Yes, we have several "arm shooters" in our class also, they squirm and flag the teacher down until they get heard. I think they participate extra hard to get a few extra points in lecture, but as...

  3. How is school effecting your relationship?

    Carolanne replied to busybeaver's topic in General Students

    I think the significant others actually get a little jealous that we are devoting so much time to our studies. They feel neglected, the air gets let out of their ego a little because they aren't the...

  4. Nursing diagnosis for nursing students

    Carolanne replied to bob007cat's topic in General Students

    :chuckle I love it, these posts are too funny. How about risk of dangerously high cholesterol levels related to overindulgence in fast

  5. Your definition of good clinical instructor and bad one

    Carolanne replied to Catma63's topic in General Students

    A good instructor is one who shares in your enthusiasm to learn, nurtures your confidence, remembers what it's like to be a student and doesn't make you feel stupid or inferior if you make a mistake....

  6. chicken pox titer

    Carolanne replied to philhou's topic in General Students

    I agree, that's something your doctor would be able to steer you in the right direction on. I had them at age 25 (part of the only child syndrome!) and I was sick as a dog. To this day, I don't know...

  7. Kidney floor for clinacles

    Carolanne replied to bob007cat's topic in General Students

    We're getting into renal patients now too, and I'm finding it very interesting. We're spending the day at a local dialysis center next week and I'm really looking forward to it (my husband finds this...

  8. Breast Exams

    Carolanne replied to LeesieBug's topic in General Students

    I also think that's a little invasive. I can see examining a real pt in the hospital at clinical, but I would think an artificial lab model at the school prior to this would be sufficient. What would...

  9. Jury duty summons

    Carolanne replied to wonderbee's topic in General Students

    I was called to jury duty and called the office and explained that I was in school, and thus would lose valuable class time which I had paid tuition for, etc. They asked when I expected to graduate...

  10. Why are nursing students so completely disrepected?

    Carolanne replied to agent's topic in General Students

    I don't think it's always the fact that we're student nurses, I think it's the personality of the offender, period. I think this type of person would treat people like their inferior in whatever field...

  11. My teacher humiliated me in front of the class

    Carolanne replied to twintoo's topic in General Students

    Sometimes it is hard to keep your lip zipped, but I've found it keeps things running smoother in the long run. Instructors usually don't like to be questioned or asked why or why not it's being done...

  12. No, no, no, I am getting a bad cold!!!

    Carolanne replied to TeresaRN2b's topic in General Students

    Load up on the vitamin C, echinicea (supplements, teas). REST! Hope you're feeling

  13. Mnemonic for cranial nerves

    Carolanne replied to KR's topic in General Students

    Colleen, LOL! I haven't heard that one before. Too much. We just learned On Old Olympus Towering Top A Finn and German Viewed Some Hop. We learned another one in A&P but I forget it already....

  14. Parking during clinical/work hours?

    Carolanne replied to Love-A-Nurse's topic in General Students

    A fee to park? That's nuts. As if you aren't shelling out enough already between courses, books and gas to get to your clinical site. In the ideal world, there should be adequate parking for all...

  15. Subjective or Objective?

    Carolanne replied to bedpan's topic in General Students

    I say subjective. I think say is subjective (S). It's the patient's statement. Objective is what YOU see. Physical findings, etc. Subjective is Mom states child hasn't had much of an appetite....

  16. So discouraged over A&P, ready to give up nursing plans

    Carolanne replied to evi's topic in General Students

    I haven't met anyone yet who didn't find A&P to be a difficult course. My A&P teacher didn't get any extra credit at all, no curves. The only thing that counted toward your grade was quizzes...

  17. watch with sweeping second hand?

    Carolanne replied to neonatalRN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I found a great watch on line at uniform village.com - $19 - a nurse's watch with second hand, larger dial, and military time adjacent to the standard time (the hospital I do clinicals at uses...

  18. ....Made Incredibly Easy series

    Carolanne posted a topic in General Students

    Hi, just wanted to pass along to those of you who may not be familiar with the ''...Made Incredibly Easy" series of nursing books. I have IV Therapy Made Incredibly Easy, Fluids & Electrolytes,...

  19. The dreaded panty line.......

    Carolanne replied to colleen10's topic in General Students

    I go with the granny beige or white myself -- our scrub top just above clears the hip, but Lord knows we're bending and twisting and reaching, so the look doesn't always remain as planned! Anyway,...
