    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to BP91's topic in General Students

    As long as our bottoms were the same shade as our tops we had freedom there. Our tops were embroidered. First year we didn't have choices, second year we had more choices on brands and

    why the lack of baths

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

    and see this I can find acceptable, if for whatever reason it's just a hectic shift and one can't get the full shabang, at least there is still care being given. Clean the most important parts, do...

    why the lack of baths

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

    why the lack of baths

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

    Being clean helps improve your overall health, not just mentally but physically. Would it have been hard to offer the patient a basin of water and tooth brush and toothpaste if they weren't capable of...

    why the lack of baths

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

    In 2 years of clinicals I never saw anything close to this situation happening. It wouldn't fly at the 4 hospitals here. Also my many many years as a patient I never had an experience like this...

    Can your school refuse to schedule NCLEX if you owe money to student acct?

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

    I don't know of any state that would you let you take boards without transcripts proving you graduated from an approved college. It's perfectly reasonable to me. If you owe the school money they...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Jenni811's topic in General Nursing

    Same here, something just isn't adding up. I also would be shocked that someone to good for everyone would pick a field where they have to encounter "gross stuff" would be to "good" to do any dirty...
