1. Nursing without the "yukkies".

   AshleyKay replied to skybirdrising's topic in General Nursing

   There's actually a joke among our classmates because I always seem to be around when someone is throwing up, and a friend of mine in class always catches someone when it's coming out the other end. I wasn't worried about "yuckies",but being thrown u...

2. Nurses are not Doctors

   AshleyKay replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

   I agree, I'm excited to get asked to do stuff. We even discussed this in class recently...that it makes us feel good when they trust us to handle something for them. I also haven't seen any students roll their eyes or make themselves scarce when as...

3. Getting an ICU Position out of School??

   AshleyKay replied to SirJohnny's topic in MICU

   John, Im sorry, I thought I'd started a new thread, I didn't mean to ask a question for myself in your replies...I had just read yours and I just wanted to find out if there were any good web sites with more information....I sure must not have been p...

   AshleyKay replied to SirJohnny's topic in MICU

   Thanks...Ive heard different things about the general and the lake (where I'm goin to school)...not much about earl k long. I don't plan on moving out of the state...I'll just have to do a little more research.

5. Fianacing CRNA school

   AshleyKay replied to DIVER CRNA's topic in CRNA

   Student loans is how I'll be going, and hopefully financial aid. I'm going to have to at least work part time. I can't imagine not working...but I guess we'll find out. From what I've read from other posts, you can sign up with different companies...

6. Getting an ICU Position out of School??

   AshleyKay replied to SirJohnny's topic in MICU

   I just saw the thread about starting in the ICU right after graduating from nursing school...which is something I'm considering, so I'm glad someone had asked that question. I'll just have to wait and see how confident I feel about a decision like t...

   Thanks Erin :) I appreciate it

8. Nurses are not Doctors

   AshleyKay replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

   Alright well I'm not going to try and convince everyone here about any abilities I may have as a future nurse...I'm sure I'm going to screw up as well, I'm sure I'll have bad days. I am actually loving clinicals and can't wait to graduate. So I'm w...

9. Nurses are not Doctors

   AshleyKay replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

   I really don't understand how me making negative comments about nurses that I don't feel treat me or their patients right or have negative attitudes about their job means that I shouldn't be in nursing school. I'm sorry I don't think it's ok for a p...

10. Nurses are not Doctors

    AshleyKay replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    Alright don't get upset, I was not referring to 75 percent of the nurses out there, I'm just referring to 75 percent of the ones I've come across in my clinicals. My classmates and I have been treated pretty badly by the nurses we've had to deal wit...

11. Crna = Mda?!

    AshleyKay replied to CougRN's topic in CRNA

    I just visited the studentdoctor.net website because of some posts earlier about them...so I went to the anesthisia part and I have to say I was a little shocked.... I didn't know they were so worried about CRNA's just taking over their jobs complete...

12. Nurses marrying doctors

    AshleyKay replied to Cqc_Cqb's topic in General Nursing

    I'm currently in nursing school, but when I was majoring in Psychology at LSU I went out with a resident a few times. The first time we met he asked me what I was majoring in and then actually said 'please say you're going into the medical field.' ...

13. Nurses are not Doctors

    AshleyKay replied to Plato's topic in General Nursing

    I'm in nursing school and I have to admit, I've been disgusted by 75 percent of the nurses I've had to come across. I realize this isn't the same everywhere, but every single ICU nurse I've dealt with is wonderful. The ER, well I'm not even going t...

14. silly question just curious

    AshleyKay posted a topic in CRNA

    In CRNA school do the students practice on each other any? I mean do students put each other under any kind of anesthesia? Sorry if this is a dumb question, just something that popped through my head. :) Thanks Ashley

    Hi, my name is Ashley and this is my first post here. I'm currently a nursing student to become an RN. Immediately after I'll continue on to get my bachelor's degree and then CRNA school. I'm working full time while I'm in school but I'm actually...
