In our program we are not allowed to practice on each other but only on dummies.When I needed more practice with giving injections I usually went to lab in my free time. Also at home you can practice on oranges you just have to buy syringes. I tri...

Although I'm still a nursing student once when I was in clinical I was taking care of the patient who fall right before he was assigned to me.The doctor who came to assess him explained to me what was he doing to the patient and also answered all my...

I dint know that nursing was a career for me.Actually I never wanted to be a nurse maybe veterinarian and was drawn more toward languages,history,geography ,psychology subjects.My best friend's father put this idea into my head to be a nurse (I guess...

I dont have any kids yet but I go to school and work,4 days a week or sometimes two days a week,I guess depends on the week:).It is not easy because you have to be really organized and control your time.Sometimes I leave my house at 5 am,go to clinic...

I love psych reading,I find them most interesting out of all the nursing texts. I also enjoy our psych rotation,and even though by the end of the day I'm emotionally drained.I am learning a lot...

Ok but in order to correct someone's else grammar the person who attempts to do it should also write grammatically.Do you see the point I'm trying to make?, people make mistakes all the time...perfectionalists,anal people usually live shorter(that is...

I think Tony1970 is struggling financially and wants his wife to help him out,nothing wrong with that idea.Also he doesnt want his wife to waste the degree she has worked so hard for.It is understandable.I mean you want your partner to grow intellect...

I guess I'm just tired of all the people I met during my nursing school experience,I can't help myself but especially those that think they are better than everybody else.I have girls in my classess who think they are God's gifts (dont know why thoug...

Yeah I know:))All this reading is totally insane:banghead:I have to read like 350 pages from psych nursing and review 4 chapters from pharm related to psych meds.I have only a week left and I'm just starting my reading.I am a slow reader I have to re...

All the ones with an attitude are gone,and have to reapply again.I guess instead of focusing on school work they were engaging themselves in catty games,etc.I guess it doesnt pay off to play around in nursing school:)

For the thousand times I dont have an attitude...and if my preceptor will vent how much she hates her job or I will smell negativity comind from her I will just politely smile but I in my head detector for burned out nurses will go off:D.I know how ...

I graduate in a year.Are you trying to tell me that my preceptor wont have nothing better to do than brag about how nursing much nursing sucks?Well great than it make me question why that person would even willing to precept with this kind of attitud...

Before I entered nursing field I also thought it was disgusting.But when it came down to cleaning patient's poop it felt akwardly fine to me.I guess when the person is sick,the human feces are of less importance.

I have a friend who is in medical school and I asked him why he wouldnt be a nurse first and then continue with his medical studies.He replied that the reason he didnt want to do his RN was because he didnt want to deal with dirty work! Then I met a ...

What we dont need nursing students is nurses who lost their enthusiasms somewhere down the line to tell us what "horrible"field" we are entering.The way you describe it this job really sound awful. LET US FIND OUT ON OUR OWN HON. THROW US IN DEEP WAT...

Good luck to all! I'm starting tommorow with you guys and although most likely in a week I will be a walking zombie (I also work) the thought of approaching graduation (only 8 months left) keeps me strong! Dont study to hard!!!:icon_hug:

Ok just before starting nursing school I quit my job because it was the first semester and I had no idea what it would be like studing for nursing classess(plus I heard all the horror stories from here or there).I only had one class at a time during ...

You stated that nurses had more patients to take care of,but now when the nurse takes 5-6 patients they make a big scene out of it.If you dont like the patient load,you can always switch to private duty and take care of one patient.The choice is alwa...

I dont see them speaking up.I agree there is more B.S nurses have to deal with in these days but there are also some improvements in other aspect of nursing like technology,nurses right to speak up to the doctor.Now the nurses arent afraid to be ad...

Heck,if I (a patient) am being charged in Emergency Room 2000 dollars they better bring me some water and I demand crackers:devil:

You say that nurses were treated with MUCH respect back in a day.Can you please post some reliable data about this?Not to offend but were you there to see how the "sisters" were treated by patients,doctors,managment?Books,movies are one thing but pri...

I dont know from which school student you had came from ,but in our school our instructors watch us and stand by our side when we take medication from pixys.When I used to take on patients lets say with high blood pressure the nurses didnt double c...

I go back to school the 25th.This is my last free weekend but I will be stuck in work friday,saturday and Sunday.I made sure I took care of all the necessary stuff earlier in the week (like buying books,bookbag,visit my best friend) cause I know th...

But I dont understand why it would be so,isnt the majority of population in hospital in the older age group anyway?.Lets face it,young adults barely ever get sick,teenagers are usually pretty healthy.The middle age group in average is also in fa...

I would go with Staphylococcus aureus which causes MRSA or E.coli which cause Urinary Track Infection.I would try to learn about those that cause popular diseases in hospital population.
