  1. I dont like it

    greenbeanio replied to megpie83's topic in General Students

    If you like teaching there may be a way of finding a field of nursing where you can do just that. Like being a diabetes educator, for instance, or a wellness nurse. Or something involving patient ed....

  2. Does anybody ever fail clinical because of time management? ethical question

    greenbeanio replied to greenbeanio's topic in General Students

    I'd love to be at that point too - but how do I get there? I figured the more experienced I get the faster and more certain I'll get, so that's what I've been asking for but not getting. Any other...

  3. Does anybody ever fail clinical because of time management? ethical question

    greenbeanio replied to greenbeanio's topic in General Students

    Jolie, no, I really didn't think of asking for help. I guess because she has seen me as the weak student all semester and she has actually told people not to help me because I need to become more...

  4. Does anybody ever fail clinical because of time management? ethical question

    greenbeanio replied to greenbeanio's topic in General Students

    Melmarie, even my clinical instructor said I'm "very safe - so much so that it slows you down. But there have not been any concerns about safety." :) But she does think I'm still too hesitant, still...

  5. How do you measure it?

    greenbeanio replied to MaraG.'s topic in General Nursing

    I's say the 4 hours starts from the time of the 2nd

  6. Why do LPN's get so disrespected?

    greenbeanio replied to Health-Nut's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm in the 2nd year of an RN program and we have an agreement with the LPN program in our school to take LPNs into the 2nd year of our RN program. The LPNs are doing way better than the rest of us in...

  7. I'm feeling very naive, new nurse, no clue how to handle this...

    greenbeanio replied to HeyHeyitsMaay's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    That's how I would do it. No blame - just here's the difficulty I'm running into - can you help me figure out how to resolve

  8. All Long Term facilities are NOT the same.

    greenbeanio replied to Katie5's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    The one I worked at was also pretty nice. I used to think they were all depressing places where people were treated like inconveniences, and while a couple of the CNAs were sometimes impatient, by...

  9. Buddhist and there practices

    greenbeanio replied to angle71054's topic in General Nursing

    I wonder if there are differences between different communities of Buddhists, such as between Sri Lankan Buddhists and Cambodian Buddhists. Because local customs and beliefs vary so much. For instance...

  10. Biology Major-- Im told nursing school is a lot easier?

    greenbeanio replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

    Oh yeah, and in my pre-reqs I got all As and 2 A-s. In nursing school I've only managed A-s and for Med-Surg I doubt I'll get even

  11. Biology Major-- Im told nursing school is a lot easier?

    greenbeanio replied to Delta_Notch's topic in General Students

    Yup - what everybody else said - not the actual content but the sheer volume of work and the utterly hectic schedule. You come out of class and wish you had the time to consolidate what you just...

  12. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    greenbeanio replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    Much to my chagrin, I have cried 3 times this semester. Never in front of patients or staff, just my clinical instructor. Something about having to defend myself makes me cry. She gets so impatient,...

  13. Care plan/ work load question

    greenbeanio posted a topic in General Students

    What does a care plan entail in your school? Here's what I have to hand in tomorrow (and am only 10% done with ). 1) Face sheet (biographical data etc) 2) Hx of present illness w/ pathophysiology...

  14. Nursing school stress

    greenbeanio replied to b_howard's topic in General Students

    To be honest, I don't remember another time in my life when I have been this exhausted, anxious and just plain miserable. The 3rd semester workload is killing me with both Psych and Med-Surg I...

  15. How do I get involved in Alternative/Holistic nursing?

    greenbeanio replied to Sarah27's topic in General Nursing

    I understand where you're coming from. Check out AHNA, as the previous person

  16. I cant makeup my mind

    greenbeanio replied to cooly's topic in General Nursing

    Don't quite know what field of nursing you can go into where you are guaranteed never to have anyone die on you. In fact, that can't be guaranteed even for non-nurses. Death happens. I think you need...

  17. How do I explain that I'm "JUST" a LPN ??

    greenbeanio replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Nursing

    Hey, I have to keep explaining to people why I am in "just" an Associate's degree program for my RN instead of a Bachelor's or Master's level program. And before that I spent years trying to avoid...

  18. giving report to rude nurses

    greenbeanio replied to tolerantgirl's topic in General Nursing

    I don't like ignoring unpleasant behaviors because in my experience that just escalates the behavior. So I just tend to be really direct but not rude. Like "Is something I'm saying bothering you or...

  19. What to wear to new CNA job orientation?

    greenbeanio replied to BreatheFree's topic in General Nursing

    Depends on the facility. At one facility we were told business casual, so when I decided to go to a different facility instead, I assumed it would be the same. But everyone else was there in jeans!...

  20. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    greenbeanio replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    Okay then, 12 hours a day of HIPAA powerpoints and videos, for 1 year, no days off, and no time off for meals. Tests on HIPAA twice a day, and one essay a week based on research articles. (Can you...

  21. Medical privacy violator gets 1 year- what do you think?

    greenbeanio replied to petunia2016's topic in General Nursing

    I am very sad for her baby's disrupted nourishment and attachment during this crucial time, because I am a strong advocate of extended breastfeeding and attachment parenting. However this is something...

  22. Why do you believe what you believe, concerning your position on health care?

    greenbeanio replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply that you are an awful person at all. (If we were talking in person you would have understood that from my tone of voice but I guess I wasn't able to communicate...

  23. Why do you believe what you believe, concerning your position on health care?

    greenbeanio replied to GCTMT's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    So if there aren't enough physicians to go around only certain people should get to see physicians every time and others never at

  24. Does being a CNA help you get into Nursing school?

    greenbeanio replied to Di Deanna's topic in General Nursing

    It didn't make a difference to my getting in, but now that I'm in, I wish I'd worked as a CNA first, because the clinical experience would have been so

  25. Options needed for student nurse

    greenbeanio replied to georgeoftheforge's topic in General Nursing

    I agree. My school (which is a community college) accepts only about 20% of those who apply. So that's 80% that don't get in each year. If you're still reading this thread, I'd reiterate what I said...
