  1. Clinical paperwork - will I get any sleep tonight?

    wonderbee replied to RNNoMore's topic in General Students

    It can't be plagiarism if you don't try to claim the work as your own. The printed webpage comes with all the appropriate citations, including the web address. Our instructors want textbook...

  2. Clinical paperwork - will I get any sleep tonight?

    wonderbee replied to RNNoMore's topic in General Students

    I'm not quite sure what the objective is with all the writing. If the message is "there's lots of paperwork in nursing", I think there are more efficient ways to get that message across. The question...

    Good advice. I'm looking forward to getting

  4. Nurse Internship on Ortho Floor at 50

    wonderbee replied to wonderbee's topic in Orthopedic

    Thanks for replying Meownsmile. I just don't want to hurt myself before I've even started my career as an RN. When I interview for the job, I will be candid about my concerns. I don't want to come...

  5. problems with nurses at my clinical site

    wonderbee replied to Honeybun1206's topic in General Students

    Sometimes you run into a nut you just can't crack. Nurses are like a box of chocolates, you don't know what one will be like until you take a bite. Don't get lathered up over one nurse's reaction. For...

  6. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    wonderbee replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    You find the four-letter word (the real bad one) escaping from your lips during a skills checkoff in the presence of your

  7. Externship or take the summer off?

    wonderbee replied to jessinMS's topic in General Students

    In this neck of the woods, "nurse intern" is a paid position that's offered to nursing students that has no connection with any school. It was told to me by a nurse manager that it's the equivalent...

  8. Externship or take the summer off?

    wonderbee replied to jessinMS's topic in General Students

    I also had the choice to work as an intern. Sure you get to do some nurse things but that's in addition to your work as a PCA. Since I'm going to be working over the summer and don't want PCA work,...

  9. RSV and contact precautions question

    wonderbee posted a topic in Pediatric

    I was wondering if you seasoned pedi nurses can help me out here. I'm a third semester student on my pedi rotation, day one. I had a great experience and think I'd love it but I digress. My patient...

  10. Single in nursing school

    wonderbee replied to FutureIsBlue's topic in General Students

    Should you feel bad? Heavens girl. Feelings are neither good nor bad and there is no one right way to feel about anything. Feelings are what they are... feelings. What's imporant is how YOU feel about...

  11. Do you get nervous before going to clinical?

    wonderbee replied to Catys_With_Me's topic in General Students

    I still get the jitters. At least this semester, we know the night before our patient assignment and can brush up on what we might have to

  12. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    wonderbee replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    You know you're a nursing student when: the cat starts looking like a good substitute for a newborn for practicing your newborn

  13. Questions about being a GN

    wonderbee replied to Heath82371's topic in First Year After Licensure

    Yes, you work as a GN with a temporary permit upon graduation in the state of Florida. Of course you will have to make application for the permit. Check with the Florida BON. The procedure is

  14. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    wonderbee replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    When your family members call you with the report on that nasty crud they're coughing up and you ask them the standard questions about their mucus. Then you tell them to consume lots of chicken soup,...

  15. You know you are in nursing school when ctxt

    wonderbee replied to tnstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    ...you're laying in bed at night drifting off to sleepland (a rare treat) and out of nowhere a thought hits that the safe range of tylenol is 10-15mg/kg which leads to the next thought, and the...

  16. any ideas on this one?

    wonderbee replied to wolf_funk's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I'll say B because there is something causing increased

  17. Clinicals: what was the biggest surprise or thing you would have wanted to know?

    wonderbee replied to ER1010's topic in General Students

    I know you're right. Still, I don't know why we have to appease the staff at all. The ones that are helpful to us are helpful because they want to be. The others don't do thing one for us. And as for...

  18. Clinicals: what was the biggest surprise or thing you would have wanted to know?

    wonderbee replied to ER1010's topic in General Students

    What surprised me is that our med surg II instructor for semester 3 is having us take a step backwards. She's requiring us to do beds and baths. It kind of surprises me (and in a negative kind of way)...

  19. Snow emergency excuse?

    wonderbee replied to ReinventingMyselfAgain's topic in General Nursing

    During the hurricanes down here in Florida, we were required to pack a bag and bring our families if we had to. I would think that snow storms would be no different in that

  20. No PRN work in Florida?????

    wonderbee replied to gwlillith's topic in Florida Nursing

    We are having a real light flu season down here. This might be contributing to the unusually low census. I have seen more empty beds now than I saw over the summer. Of course we had the hurricanes...

  21. The scoop on Practicums or Preceptorships

    wonderbee replied to ER1010's topic in General Students

    Ditto. I'd like to add that we do not necessarily get our first choice for specialty. Our 4th semester students are given a CAP test during the first week of class. The order of choice goes in order...

  22. Meals that freeze well for elderly woman at home

    wonderbee replied to Sadie04's topic in Home Health

    Have you checked into Meals on

  23. licensing exam with a misdemeanor

    wonderbee replied to cquinn's topic in General Nursing

    An actual misdemeanor. It required a court appearance. Seriously, I'm not all that concerned about it. I think it falls under traffic misdemeanors. If in my 50 years on this planet that's the only...

  24. licensing exam with a misdemeanor

    wonderbee replied to cquinn's topic in General Nursing

    I have a misdemeanor on my record. I took the tag off my registered vehicle and put it on my unregistered vehicle. Got pulled over and ticketed for tag not matching vehicle. Got an adjudication...

  25. Contemplating Knee replacement(s)

    wonderbee posted a topic in General Nursing

    I'm looking to hear from any nurses who have had knee replacement surgery. I'm 50 and in my 3rd semester of my ADN RN program. Arthritis (a combo of rheumatoid and osteo) has pretty much destroyed my...
