    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to 9livesRN's topic in General Students

    Why are doctors so easily manipulated by drug addicts?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to TigerGalLE's topic in General Nursing

    It's funny, I am in school just my first semester, in Fundamentals we are taught that pain is the 5th Vital Sign (I know it's a huge debate on this board) and pain is whatever the patient says it is...

    TO ALL the student Nurses !!!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    Completely understandable, a student should be taking the opportunity to learn and you can't learn unless you're willing to dive in. Even when all I was allowed to do was observe I would still find a...

    TO ALL the student Nurses !!!!!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to coffee4metech's topic in General Nursing

    I have only done one semester of clinicals and they were in a nursing home not a hospital setting and I would say it was about a 50/50 split on how we were treated by all employees from CNA to Admin....

    Why should a patient void before surgery?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to TASIA305's topic in General Nursing

    Unfortunately the removing the catheter right before the patient wakes up makes them feel like they have to go as soon as they wake up. Or maybe it was just me. My first laproscopy sp?I woke up with...
