  2. Would a neuro nurse be willing to answer these ten quesitons?

    lelafin replied to futuremurse1's topic in Neurological

  4. Manager "threatening" us with primary nursing!!!

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Nursing

    THAT is exactly what goes on on our floor on a daily basis. I don't blame the techs to be honest. But the nurses are left dealing with it as well. I honestly don't see increasing numbers/decreasing pt...

  5. Manager "threatening" us with primary nursing!!!

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Nursing

    That sounds very promising! I know there was talk for a while many months back about assigning each techs to specific RNs. But it was going to be a random thing each shift. I'm not sure my manager...

  9. What is your favorite nursing scrub design? Do you have one?

    lelafin replied to Brian's topic in Nurses Rock

    The greys anatomy junior mock wrap scrub top is the best - only one I've found that is actually flattering. I like cherokee long boot leg cut draw string pants because I"m tall and they're the only...

  10. Does clinical do this to anyone else?

    lelafin posted a topic in General Students

    So it feels like on the days that I have clinical I come home so absolutely exhausted that I just feel too foggy to study or do anything productive. It seems like it's got to be something more than...

    Hey klj0315! I love that you are 1 semester ahead of me :) Thanks for the update - I'm assuming you mean NUR210, not 215? I've heard that it's easy-breezy compared to 3rd semester! I'm taking it this...

  14. NCLEX review board game

    lelafin replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    never heard of it before, but looks like it could be really fun AND helpful especially for helping with remembering! How does the game work? Like how in depth are the questions and how do you win?

    lelafin replied to musicianRN's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Wow pajamas????? You've got to be kidding! Thanks for the tips - I like to see it coming from the interviewer's point of view. I'll be a new grad in 2 semesters and I know I'll be extremely nervous...

  16. Does clinical do this to anyone else?

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    I've always wondered if 5hr energy works... guess I should go get

  17. Does clinical do this to anyone else?

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    Yeah it must be all of the above... I think it's most likely the stress that tops it off! The stress of getting a poor mark from your instructor for any little thing you overlooked has you constantly...

  19. Attendance policy at your school

    lelafin posted a topic in General Students

    Hey I was wondering if everyone else's nursing school has an attendance policy for lecture? Mine is super strict! If I miss 2 lectures during the semester, I'm automatically withdrawn (and 2 tardies...

  20. Attendance policy at your school

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    Yeah, our passing rate is 80% - that's the lowest C you can get. You have to have a 93 or above to have an A. Hahah CrazierThanYou - my instructor last semester was totally an attendance nazi too! I...

  21. Attendance policy at your school

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    Yeah mine is the same way... if you fail any two clinical courses within the program, you are OUT! And after 2 absences, GOODBYE! and if it's after midterm, it equals a WF... which is essentially a...

  22. Attendance policy at your school

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    hmm I guess it's not the ADN vs BSN thing then... just a theory lol! I'm trying to figure out the discrepancy. I guess it's just up to the nursing school - so random... Clovery - that is so messed up...

  23. Attendance policy at your school

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students

    Hmmm I wonder if the difference between the mandatory lecture vs non-mandatory is ADN program vs BSN? It seems like the 4 year colleges don't really care too much about attendance (i.e. they treat you...

    lelafin replied to lelafin's topic in General Students
