    12 hour shift clinicals

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to angelah11's topic in General Students

    How does that work, one group is getting 16 hrs and the other only 12? For us the 12's gave more free time. For our 3rd and 4th semester med surg clinicals there were 3 sites with 2-12 hrs shifts...

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

    I get distracted really easily too, I have no filter to filter out all the little annoying sounds, I just assumed if people were cheating they are doing it quietly. If people talked during an exam in...

    Gloves or not for IV meds?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Shibby3's topic in General Students

    I don't wear gloves when giving IVP meds or hanging bags. It's a needless system, (at least where I am at) and I clean all the ports with alcohol really

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

    I wouldn't even know if someone was cheating. I go in, focus on my test, take it and am usually the first one done. I don't pay attention to anyone around me. I am curious to know how you determined...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    My son has had a very hard time adjusting to his freshman year, his grades have plummeted. His biggest problem is he is far to popular and good looking for his own good. He has girls constantly...

    Who pays for your pin?

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

    We have to raise the money to pay for our pinning ceremony, the director of our program pays for the pins out of her own pocket. This is something she does each semester and has since she took over....

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

    It doesn't have to be individual presents. We always chip in and get our Clinical Instructor something. (I have had awesome CI's) but as far as the units, it can be muffins, or cookies or something....
