    Awkward situation

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Student7881's topic in General Students

    As a current mom, I see this all the time too. Seems to be the normal behavior of teenagers. My son messes up in school or gets busted at home doing something he shouldn't have been, and yet somehow I...

    2 colors in hair as a new graduated during interviews

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

    I don't think it will be a problem. You aren't talking about neon pink and brown. I have brown hair with blond highlights, I only get partial foils done, so underneath is still my natural brown. I...

    Do not touch my stuff!

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

    Although yes you should have the stuff put up, it doesn't negate the fact that grown adults should not be going through other peoples stuff. Where I do clinicals the students don't have lockers, we...

    Doing real CPR as a student.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN posted a topic in General Students

    The other thread asking questions on certification and some of the responses got me thinking and curious. Take out the human side of it, as a student, would you be excited to get to jump in on a code...

    Did you get enough phlebotomy experience in your ADN program?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to 2011NursingStudent's topic in General Nursing

    We got no phlebotomy experience. Couldn't poke people in lab. We did like 3 mins on the fake man arm. A class would have been good. I practiced on my teenager. lol I did an IV on him also since we had...

    Silly Question: surgical cap or scrub cap?

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

    I always saw everyone wearing a scrub cap but the surgeons for surgeries. In the Cath lab one gal had a surgical cap but it's one she bought herself and brought in and she worked there. She said most...

    How many semesters of nursing classes do you have?

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to prime11214's topic in General Students
