    Tylenol overdose and the public's ignorance.

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

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to MoLee228's topic in General Nursing

    When I did clinicals at the nursing home I would report bs in the 300+ range and always told not to worry that was normal there. This was first semester and went against everything we were taught so...

    Was the Nursing program your first choice?

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

    The FBI academy in quantico,va was my first choice. I was going to be a forensic detective back before it became cool on TV when that wouldn't be possible (decided getting pregnant at 15 was a...

    Are you insulted????

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

    If there wasn't people that were happy being cna's, than where would that leave things? Everyone has a place and is needed somewhere, better to be at a job you like. Even if it's "just" a cna...

    CNA's/PCTs are worked real hard.

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to Katie5's topic in General Nursing

    As a student I get to observe both dynamics and both roles as often the students are learning to be nurses but often are extra help too. I do feel cna's are over worked and under paid. Especially...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    Hmmmm ok, you started your post by saying "A thread for women to talk about other people behind their back" Then went on to compare it to the women in your class. That would obviously lead one to...

    Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

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

    It's not just women on this thread. It's a vent thread. How is it causing drama for people to come here and vent instead of confronting their classmates for stuff they find annoying. It's not that the...

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

    Yea, you would think that stuff like applesauce and the stuff that is sealed good and doesn't need refrigeration like that could just be santi wiped off. Those wipes are supposed to kill anything

    Only wanting one area of nursing?

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

    I think it's good, we need nurses everywhere. There are a few people in my class that want nothing to do with hospital nursing. I spent a day in the ICU and I didn't like it at all. I went into...

    Advice on how to get precept dept of choice

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

    It depends on your schools set up. In our program there isn't anything we can do. In fact if you try to set up your own you will be dismissed from the program. It is luck of the draw. Not even your...

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to carlarenee02's topic in General Students

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to angeladod2's topic in General Students

    I had no interest in Science before nursing. In fact, science was my worst subject in school. I have no idea why I picked a field heavily science based. But I did. Now in my 4th semester I find it all...

    My Microbiology Teacher told me I can't become a Nurse

    ~Mi Vida Loca~RN replied to louis345's topic in General Students

    I have never looked into a microscope in nursing school or in clinicals. Anyway, never let anyone else decide what you can and can't do. Only you can decide what you are capable
