  1. Problems with Exiting School

    CBsMommy replied to nikkimgxo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I'm confused. You graduated in May 2010? Why not walk away from the school? Do you need to pass these tests before they release you to take the NCLEX? We don't have exit exams at our school so I...

  2. My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    CBsMommy replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Yes, I've been in your almost exact position. When I was really young (19), I enrolled in some classes at my college and just stopped going. I didn't know that you actually had to drop them (I wasn't...

  3. Standing out in nursing school

    CBsMommy replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    Here's just a little food for thought. If a fellow student would kick the back of my chair, intentionally, while I was talking with a patient, I too, would be irritated. I would wrap up my...

  4. Standing out in nursing school

    CBsMommy replied to UumiNurseX's topic in General Students

    Wow. I second the idea that you need to go talk to someone. I see children in the pysch facilities and medical facilities and have a lot of empathy for them as well. I think what you are trying to...

  5. Pre nursing student gets an exciting opportunity

    CBsMommy replied to kira261's topic in General Nursing

    I have just one more thing to add to this list, which is amazing by the way. Depending on the age of the cadaver, look to see if you notice if the patient had any surgeries, such as pins in the hips...

  6. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    CBsMommy replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    I would like to know, OP, what did you do when you walked into the house full of smoke with an

  7. Should second-hand smoke be illegal in a home with children?

    CBsMommy replied to starzrn's topic in General Nursing

    I personally don't like cigarette smoke and I'm not a fan of people smoking at all however, the problem with making it illegal in someone's home is, who is going to police

  8. Psych rotation coming up.. not excited about it, should I be?

    CBsMommy replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I got to see a lot of different patients from patients just coming in off the streets with severe cases of schizophrenia or mania to patients that were fully medicated for months/years. Before I...

  9. Just Rejected From Nursing School - Most Ridiculous Admissions Office

    CBsMommy replied to guest_57352's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    OP - I know you didn't come here for a debate about CC versus other colleges HOWEVER I also went to a big university for A&P I then switched to a community college for my A&P II and the CC was...

  10. Psych rotation coming up.. not excited about it, should I be?

    CBsMommy replied to FutureOBNurse2118's topic in General Students

    I was SURE that I wouldn't like my psych rotation and felt SURE there was no way that I could make it through either. I had dreaded the class and the clinical from the onset of school. Both the...

  11. Team leader assignment

    CBsMommy replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    You will be okay. Remember that the other students have already given you assignments so it's your turn now. If you gratefully took your assignments from your other classmates, they should...

  12. RNs tell your hospitals to hire new grads

    CBsMommy replied to DedHedRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I agree with this post to the very last period. I am OVER coming here and listening to people gripe because they worked hard for their degree. Guess what...so did everyone else. AND HERE'S THE KICKER....

  13. Holy Abscess! Not for the faint of heart

    CBsMommy replied to Brian's topic in General Nursing

    I got to watch an I&D in clinicals and it was really cool. You just have to make sure you're not standing right in the way of the first cut otherwise you could end up with this all over you! It...

  14. When should you start applying?

    CBsMommy replied to shaps926's topic in General Students

    I don't graduate until December and I've already started applying. I was offered an externship position where I will be trained with new grad nurses and then when I pass my NCLEX, the hospital will...

  15. Pinning Ceremony Songs

    CBsMommy replied to tashacorinne's topic in General Students

    Pink Floyd's "Another brick in the wall". I would love to leave listening to the lyrics of, "Hey, Teacher, leave them kids

  16. ECG Interpretation Strips Word Associations

    CBsMommy replied to Ava M.'s topic in General Students

    Agonal is the flat line you see on tv. V-fib is chaos (it has an "ocean wave like appearance"). You've got the tombstone strip which is a massive ST elevation. Otherwise, you are going to have to look...

  17. Could the client sue me for this?

    CBsMommy replied to Melandru's topic in General Nursing

    I don't know the laws in your country or whether she could sue you. I can tell you that you most likely ruined the trust in the relationship with your patient by not setting the expectation that you...

    CBsMommy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

  23. Therapeutic communication help!!!

    CBsMommy replied to elilop's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I would ask if she would like to sit down and talk about it. Sometimes, if a mother has a chance to openly discuss their fears, they will get it out (which helps) and you might have some room for...
