  1. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    I think every nursing school probably has it's share of issues. I know mine did. We had teachers leave halfway through semesters (TWICE) and basically had to teach ourselves the rest of the...

  2. Help with answering an NCLEX question!!

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to eboog20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Eboog, That sounds like a whole different type of question. Yes, in "disaster nursing" in the field you "label" the patients black, red, yellow, or green. Black is dead or near-dead, with little to...

  3. Help with answering an NCLEX question!!

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to eboog20's topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Why would you send home the least stable patient? You would discharge the MOST stable one. I have had several questions like this on school exams and nclex practice

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    No, that would be more to protect yourself from getting it. We had many cases of H1N1 on the unit I worked on. We wore masks around those patients, yes. To keep from getting it ourselves AND from...

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Yeah, we are only allowed 5 call-offs in a year where I work, so if any of those were for H1N1, too bad for you! it sucks. We take care of sick people all day long, but we are never allowed to be...

  6. Looking for the PERFECT ink pen ;)

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to nkochrn's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I definitely need to get some of their ballpoint refills. I love my Kendo pens so much. I still have the pens, although 3 of my 4 of them are out of ink, LOL. Very few places around here seem to...

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    I can certainly understand the school kicking people out if they aren't showing up because of lack of child care or transportation, but for getting H1N1? That's not really right - if it is the school...

  12. How much does/did your nursing uniform,stethoscope etc cost?

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to summersent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    You are SO lucky! LOL. I wouldn't even care if they told us we had to wear certain colors, as long as we could wear scrubs instead of that awful nursing uniform!

  13. How much does/did your nursing uniform,stethoscope etc cost?

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to summersent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    If you take a laptop to class like I do (for lecture classes) instead of a regular book bag, get one of the rolling laptop cases. I had a rolling bookbag, and it just didn't work as it was too...

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to summersent's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I've spent about $350 - 400 on the awful ugly uniforms our school makes us wear, shoes (definately get good shoes!), stethoscope (Littmann Lightweight SE II, so not a pricey one), BP cuff, clipboard,...

  20. Care Plans - What's their purpose? - What do you think of them?

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to jjjoy's topic in General Students

    LoneWolfRN2010 replied to VampRN's topic in General Students
