    jesskidding replied to mommy_5's topic in General Students

    Is there ever a time where it's okay to give up on nursing?

    Ice ok if on NPO?

    jesskidding replied to phatso's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    NPO - No foods or liquids. That's at my facility. If ice chips are allowed, the sign on the door says NPO and underneath NPO it will say "except for ice chips". However, if you are not 100%...

    Food for thought for nursing students.

    jesskidding replied to Hope63's topic in General Students

    I agree as well. Thanks for your insight. I am a SN and and a CNA at a hospital and thankfully the RN's I work with don't make me feel like "just a CNA". You have to start

    we cannot have acrylic fingernails

    jesskidding replied to jh56031's topic in General Students

    Lunches: Brown bag or cafeteria?

    jesskidding replied to PediNurse3's topic in General Nursing

    I take mine. The cafeteria at my hospital closes at 7P and since I am 7P-7A I don't really have a choice in the matter. However, I like packing my own since it gives me a chance to eat better since my...
