  1. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
  2. Help needed for nursing diagnosis!!!

    I agree 100% with pp on this
  3. Nursing diagnosis for ear infection

    I would also go with Acute Pain as my primary nursing diagnosis - yes, the others would apply, but would not be the first in order of importance. I would probably say something like Acute Pain: R/T...
  4. Nursing Advisor a Downer

    I honestly think that they do that to be sure that you really want it. I think that from an administrative stand point, it looks bad for the school when a class starts with say 75 people and then...
  5. Teachers just changing class days...

    We've had this happen - but it is usually to our benefit. Although we have had things change and it only complicated things. For example, the day before our clinical (we had 2 weeks left on our...
  6. Some Honesty

    I don't think that this is true everywhere...in my area nursing jobs are pretty plentiful for both new grads and experienced nurses. Unless you are incompetent you should be able to get a job in my...
  7. A little stressed!

    My evening/weekend session has not yet lost any students, but I can tell you that we took an exam last night and the grades were just posted online. You can see your score and the class...
  8. I don't really dislike any of these students, some of them are friends of mine (and trust me, they've heard about it from me). I just don't understand why in general people can't be more courteous of...
  9. I don't have any issue with people who study right up until the test, I do that as well. My issue is with the people who instead of talking quietly about things feel the need to sit on opposite sides...
  10. I agree with NursingStudent19 - I have a girl in my clinical group who failed her first semester and had to do it over. Don't give up....if this is what you really want - you can do
  11. I think I should be trying harder

    If you are comfortable with the level of knowledge that you are walking away with, then that is your decision. It is YOUR education and no one else can tell you how to get that education. If you...
  12. Feeling less stressed things may be looking up for me

    Good for you!! I'm glad that you found a way to work things in your life to make the stress level less! I've been making sure that I take 1 weekend day and don't even crack open a book. I spend time...
  13. Should I quit my job before nursing school?

    I am working full time and doing nursing school and I'm an A student. It's not easy. I have not social life (except all nurses) and I miss out on some things with my family, but we need to have the...
  14. A-MEN!!! Before the exam, shouting across the room to another patient about the material will NOT help you get a better grade on the exam and it only distracts/annoys your fellow classmates!!...
  15. Fending for yourself in clinical normal?

    I think that I have been very fortunate with my nursing instructors thus far. I can not say the same for some of my friends in their rotations. One friend in particular currently has an instructor...
  16. Anything but a Nurse!

    I would follow what YOU want to do. If you feel drawn to nursing, you should follow your dreams.
  17. Where do you want to work once you're done

    I honestly don't know. Before I got into school I always thought LTC, but I'm keeping an open mind as I go through my rotations so that I can make a better decision based on what I see and...
  18. Hey, that's a great product!! I'm going to order some and give it a try! I'll probably avoid the sleep one though!!
  19. Need down time...

    Is anyone else at a point in the semester where you feel like you just need a couple days of down time to recharge the batteries? Most of the other schools are currently on Spring Break and I need to...
  20. Fear of Nursing School

    You will be shocked how quickly you will pick up things! When you start NS you are completely immersed in the culture and you catch on to the lingo and situations pretty quickly. Hang in there, let...
  21. Regarding the questions on jar size - they do have the small little tubs (for lack of a better word) that are about the size of carmex containers, and it should fit in your pocket. The pp is correct...
  22. CalebMommy - I didn't mean to imply that I thought you had said those things! I am immensely glad to hear that the student involved is no longer in the profession. It is unfortunate though that...
  23. I typically keep the vicks in my pocket and if I go to check on a patient and find that a change and/or clean up is necessary, I'll just dab a little under my nose when I go to gather the supplies I...
  24. Good job! I had similar situations in my last rotation. Vicks really does work well...I used it many times. For those of you scared of the poop - try not to be. It's most certainly not pleasant,...
  25. help! how can I be more assertive?

    Honestly, yes...you probably should fake it - at first. After a while, I think that as you gain confidence, you won't be faking it anymore. That person that you think is so confident, is probably...
