Future O.R. Nurse

Good advice!! So good infact I wrote in red lipstick on my bathroom mirror "don't **** off an instructor"

All my classes are up and running. I downloaded and saved every assn and ppt to the computer and to my jumpdrive that I carry on my keychain. You just never know. anyway, I am only bringing to class what is required. I don't have all this ink to prin...

It seems that some of our classes and assignments are up and others are having trouble. It seems to me that IT may still be loading the classes and assignments. I would give it a few hours if you are unable to access it in BB yet. It's a lot of work ...

I would suggest that we start reading as soon as we get those books. I just realized that Nursing Techniques are up also. OMG!!! The syllabus is Looonnnnggg!! The powerpoint are numerous. I started reading Ch 5 last night. This is only two classes t...

It seems that all these suggestions would send you to the bathroom with a HUGE BM!! OMG!! Bananas and yogurt??? I could never!! I have never taken a BM in a public bathroom. My body won't let me. I am a coffee fanatic. I drink 2 cups of Espresso in ...

Degree Audit was cancelled and Health Assessment Across the Lifespan is up on Blackboard. First reading assignment chapters 5 and 9. Lots of work and powerpoints are up.

As the new semester of school starts, there are so many out of pocket expenses nursing students endure before any scholarship or financial aid is dispursed. I personally, and many other nursing students are unemployed and raising families. New nursin...

ScottE My sentiments exactly, I just fell out laughing when I saw your post!!! :rotfl::rotfl::hhmth::hhmth:

I just shared this website on my facebook page. The set up is I grew up in Brooklyn, NY. So while I am in another state only people from my hometown where I grew up are on my page. (No offense but no employers, co-workers nor student cohorts allowed...

:eek: Dear Lord, Please help my people, for they not know what they do!! Amen

I loathe math. That is until i had to take 3 non-credit math classes to get to college algebra. Im so glad I did. Now I am studying dosage and calc. and am o.k. with it. I still have to study and practice. We will be doing math everyday of our lives ...

DonShavonte Yashika Deloach! Can you wrap your head around that one?? I asked mom what was she thinking when she named her child?? :smackingfWe can all guess her response, and you would be right!!

It wn't even take five minutes of your time to deny the card. Then you get your money as you always have. It's really not that complicated. No point in complaining about things we have no control over. They can't force you to use the card, so dont us...

WOW! I went through the same thing with my oldest son. Maybe the first thing you can do is eliminate the word "perfectionist" and replace it with "Do the best you can" then show her how. When she is doing homework, you do your homework with her. It w...

The school did not send our information out to a private entity. When we signed up for school we also signed a consent form to be offered and be able to use the tools that are available through the school and it's affiliates. The school is affiliated...

I also have to ad that using computers and pda's to do all the work for you, instead of using ur brain to remember things is a disadvantage. I totally agree that using a pda to look up drug interactions, or signs and symptoms a patient may be having ...

We have to keep in mind that our professors and most of the preceptors we will be assigned to grew up and worked without all this technology. It is going to take a while before we start to see them retire and the new professors and preceptors embrace...

The card is an absolute GOD send. It is actually a debit card that your financial aid can be dispersed to if you sign up for it. It comes with free checks, a free checking account, no overdraft or banking fees. It can be used in the vending machines ...

I went through the same thing. 14 years ago I was taken to the precinct as a victim so the police could take pictures of my injuries. It came up that I had an arrest. I got the case number of the incident and typed my name in the state's offender sea...

I wouldn't count on not atleast getting an assessment on dosage and calc or maybe even basic math skills. Im going to study anyway. JUST IN CASE.

I would certainly advise, if it is at all possible to start signing up for travel nursing agencies. The assignments range from 6-18 weeks with expenses paid. If you are able. When the economy is down like this, you have to be willing to relocate tem...

I sure know better now!!! Thanks C!! lol

I went to take my drug test today. I don't do drugs at all. However, when I got home, I realized that I had used FDS woman deodorant:uhoh3: spray. It did not dawn on me not to use it because I use it all the time. Im worried now that my sample will c...

OMG!! I did a gram stain and made sure my microbe was in the middle of the slide. When I put it under the microscope I couldn't find it. Professor came and found it on the very edge of the slide!! HOW DID IT GET THERE??? :eek:

This is a great post! I worked in the O.R. and although you work with one patient at a time, everything you do is for that one patient. The only problem I found was dealing with the doctors and the interactions with other nurses. O.R nursing i alread...
