    Don't like making nurses mad!!

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

    I agree with everything that has been said in this thread except this bolded part. If it wasn't for opinions, change and progress would never occur. Changes occur because nurses thought to themselves...

    Instructor from hell fails me in clinical!

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to jolly4u's topic in General Students

    There is nothing at all that led up to this? At my school we don't get to pick our clinical instructors or sites or teachers or anything like that either and our clinicals are pass/fail. Anyway, it...

    How do you handle cheaters?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    Apples and oranges here. When I have a paper that I am turning in, or a resume I am passing out, or charting that I am doing and so on I take the time to review my work and edit and proofread. When I...

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

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

    I started tearing up in one of my classes today but it had nothing to do with school. It had to do with stuff going on at home that I was thinking about. I usually cry when I am angry or frustrated....

    How do you handle cheaters?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to AllSmiles225's topic in General Students

    It's an informal message board, not a dissertation, I would get over it. What authority do you have in telling people what they can and can not call

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

    This is interesting you say this, I shadowed a nurse at the local jail for one of my nursing school projects. I shadowed the med pass on the high risk offenders. We don't get a lot of crime here but...

    What is your perception of a nurse?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to cincin1's topic in General Students

    I think a nurse is a bridge between the doctor and patient, s/he is compassionate and understanding and non judgmental yet firm and grounded. S/he is probably one of the most important yet least...
