  1. Kicked out of nursing school for leaving a bed in the high position...

    KimN replied to rocketsurgeon87's topic in General Students

    I am very sorry that you are going through this, I can only imagine how heartbroken you must be. However, I think it is wise for you not to go to the BON .. it is the instructor's responsibility to...

  2. Sweet relaxation

    KimN posted a topic in General Students

    KimN replied to smansur's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What information have YOU come up with? If you provide what you have done so far then we can try and help you organize or clarify those thoughts/issues. Without any information from you we can't help...

  4. Care plan diagnoses

    KimN replied to falleclipse's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Well here is my two cents on the BP issue. Based on what is presented here we do not know what is normal for this patient. Yes it is unlikely that her BP is normally that high, however, we cannot...

  5. New Graduation Requirements, Can They Do This?

    KimN replied to Jen D's topic in General Students

    Seems unfair to throw it on you last minute but usually you have more than one opportunity to take it .. many schools allow two - do you know if your school will allow this? I'm sorry I am really not...

    KimN replied to samiam4's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Okay okay let's see if I can make any sense here from student to student. It seems that maybe prioritizion is the issue here? I know when I started nursing school I would be so stressed about these...

  7. New Grads vs Me. I hate this economy.

    KimN replied to SushiRN's topic in Nursing Career

  8. New Grads vs Me. I hate this economy.

    KimN replied to SushiRN's topic in Nursing Career

    I have no advice that can help you with securing a hospital position, but I do have some insight on the new grad hiring thing. It seems that in my area many facilities are hiring straight from their...

  9. Soon to graduate and still don't know what I'm doing

    KimN replied to greyL's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with the above poster. I used to be that first year student that complained about not doing catheters, etc. (although payback has been a you-know-what this term .. it's been...

    KimN replied to commonsense's topic in Emergency

    I am in my last year of nursing school and asked my program director about signing up for clinical work experience credits on top of my class and clinical schedule. There are about five of us doing it...

  11. Would keeping my own birth book be a HIPAA violation?

    KimN replied to somedayCNM's topic in Ob/Gyn

    I don't know ... that sounds pretty. scary. I can just imagine the looks from other staff members you will receive when they see you writing patient information down for your own records and then...

  12. Failing Nursing School(Life Story)

    KimN replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    Please don't ever believe you are dumb for having a rough patch in your program. This website is here for a reason, and there is a 'student' section for all of us, who just like you, are struggling at...

  13. Anyone make it into nursing school with below a 3.0 GPA?

    KimN replied to Dre2416's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hey, as a senior nursing student I can tell you that there were people who made it into my program with less than excellent GPAs. The key is nursing specific pre-requisites ... in which case they...

  15. Pediatric patient with DKA - insulin bolus vs no bolus

    KimN replied to KimN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the responses! I don't think I did a very good job of wording my question. I was actually not intending it to sound like I was seeking advice about what I personally would do in that...

  16. Please help with research / Nursing Journals

    KimN replied to la0044's topic in General Students

    I also really struggled finding resources that satisfied requirements from various instructors when I first started my program on EBSCO. I didn't receive a whole lot of help from the librarian, but...

  17. Which shoes to buy for clinical?

    KimN replied to chinacatSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    My shoes are also starting to KILL my feet by the end of the day. I also wanted to get danskos but decided it wasn't worth the money since I graduate in a few months and will no longer wear the white...

  18. Why are students going into LPN programs?

    KimN replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I'm having a hard time understanding why you would even be spending your time talking badly about LPNs ... I saw that you were talking negatively about them in a previous post. In fact i'm not even...

  19. Burnt out already???

    KimN replied to Blueberrz's topic in General Nursing

    I have to say that I feel the same way ... every time I am put on the med/surg floor that is. I have always said that I too just feel depressed after spending an extended amount of time there for the...

  22. How do you decide what type of nursing you would like to specialize in?

    KimN replied to Student_'s topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I am currently in nursing school and am still deciding! I just KNEW for sure that I wanted to work in labor & delivery or pediatrics. Well turns out I'm just so-so on L&D and too emotional to...

  23. CNA Training for Pre-Nursing Student?

    KimN replied to purpleorchid3's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Well I did not work as a CNA before nursing school, but I can tell you that you should absolutely do it if you can... it certainly would have made my life a lot easier in the beginning of nursing...

  24. Undecided about nursing as a career

    KimN replied to Zac100's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

  25. Which stethoscope to buy???

    KimN replied to kelseymalynn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I LOVE my Littmann Classic II S.E. In my opinion it is the best all around stethoscope for nursing school and beyond. I have used friends that have the Master and Cardiology, and while they are fine,...
