Absolulty not. You can refuse any treatment or procedure. I assume you had to sign a consent form? Do you think the procedure caused you to miscarry? I am so sorry for that, either way it had to be hard. I have only had one when viewing things were n...

I just finished my last day in practicum. I had the best preceptor! She was there if I needed anything but I was let to do my own thing. The entire staff was there to help me and I got to do things that she didn't as long as I asked. She even arrang...

Are you sure she was 54 lbs? and not 54 kilos? A WOMAN that weighs 54 pounds would be very, very small. That is the average weight of a 7-8 year old! There are different doses for peds and adults.

Classic! Love it. LOL.

Seriously? Did anyone bother to ask at what point in their schooling they were at?? Granted a brand new student should not have passed medications without being checked off to safely do that task, but you are assuming they have never done meds befor...

:yeah:I am sure the only reason I did not get a ticket for going 63 in a 50, I know, I know, I have learned my lesson, anyway, was because me and my car pool buddy were in our nursing school uniform ( scrubs). I fessed up to knowing how fast I was g...

I had an insturctor like that. Sure wish someone would have spoke to her about the crap she was telling me to do.

"No one "works under" another nurse's license, by the way. That's a common misconception. As a nurse you may delegate specific tasks, and you are responsible for ensuring that those tasks are carried out appropriately. But the only one licensed to wo...

Okay, I read posts and see DON all the time. Have no clue what this means. LOL! That got me thinking, are there other acronyms that just make you scratch your head and say " hu?"

I will be taking mine after graduation in June. I have a Kaplan prep course to take first, they will teach on all the new stuff the NCLEX has come out with. I hope it makes it more interesting, I hate boring mutiple question test.

I would definitely find out if the embryo is in the uterus. I too had an ectopic that almost killed me. They could not find it in my tube or the uterus! I had a procedure to put my tubes back together and it failed, so I was stuck with an ectopic. Th...

It will most likley have to to be short and sweet depending on how many students have to speak too. Say just what you said in your post. I would like to thank my family for their support during my college years. You can point out special people, suc...

No wonder I was pulling my hair out on the first practice exam! I was ready to chuck my computer out the door, it was so stupid. Some questions are so blatenly wrong it just kills me. I have to take it on Thursday! I must say after taking all the pra...

We have to take the HESI also. Oregon Community College. I take mine on Thursday! Taking practice tests now. UG.

I have long curly hair and would never even think of wearing it down at a clinical or lab. ( still a student, with one classroom week to go before preceptorship) Anyone who wears long hair down in a hospital setting is just asking for trouble. IMHO.

If it is just a clear ruler with the inches and mm on it, I found one just yesterday at the DOLLAR TREE! It has a maganfier strip down the center also, very cool. Maybe I will go back and get one! lol

She should have not went to work and the nurse in charge should have known that if she was having issues. A license cannot be taken for laying your head down on the job. They have to jump through lots of hoops to take a license and it is up to the nu...

If you earned em, show em off!

You get to meet the most interesting people. Not at their worst, but at their most vulnerable.

That aspect of nursing is my worse fear too. I can handle just about anything, but the nastyness and politics that can ensue in the nursing world are unmatched in other professions. I pray and hope that I dont have to deal with that but have been men...

I used to carry mace, yes, in the small handheld key chain type. It got so old I was afraid it would explode if I ever tryed to use it. Now that I am over 40 I just carry a really bad attitude.

OMGosh that is to funny!

Prepping for my last SIM of nursing school. These were created by my fellow students and I have no clue what one of the docs orders are, can you help me out? What is : D50 50gm IVP now I know the IVP now part, but what is D50? is that 50% dextrose?...

Thank you sooooo much. What wonderful information. I am gonna rock this SIM!

Whoo hOoo. Congradulation! Enjoy the ride. Hope to see you here more often, it is a really great place. I remember the feeling, you have every right to toot that horn!!
