    Random vents

    Always_Learning replied to nyteshade's topic in General Nursing

    Although I am a student myself, I must say "Amen!" to this post. It bothers me when I see students posting entire homework assignments and asking for "help." Now if you are confused on a certain...

    Always_Learning replied to curlylights06's topic in General Students

    Mermie has given some great advice, so I will just add "Don't be embarrassed!" Go get whatever assistance you can to help you achieve your goals. At our school, everyone is required to take a class...

    Text Messaging During Lecture

    Always_Learning replied to SRK77's topic in General Students

    I think it is simply disrespectful. In my previous job, I was a trainer, and if someone was talking/texting while I was trying to teach, I would simply wait and ask if they were ready to proceed. It's...

    Advice to a pre-nursing student?

    Always_Learning replied to RetroReactive's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I agree - relax while you still can! Reviewing medical terminology is not a bad idea, as it makes it a little easier to "decode" what people are saying when you start nursing classes, but for the most...

    teaching project going in different direction...Please help

    Always_Learning replied to TessaMae's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ah, I see...well, that makes it easier, I think. You could still conceptualize it as a care plan, with your teaching items as "interventions." And you could elaborate on things that the client could...

    Nursing school.... is just a bunch of BUSY WORK?

    Always_Learning replied to SilenceDogood's topic in General Students

    I think that some work in nursing school is or at least seems like busy work. However, the thing is...after you have to do something 1,234,673 times (care plans, anyone?), it starts to sink in. For...

    Dependant Nursing Action

    Always_Learning replied to Chris189's topic in General Students

    Hi Chris, For this nursing diagnosis, I would think that a dependent nursing action would be one that the nurse cannot initiate without the physician. So...for impaired skin integrity, perhaps this...

    teaching project going in different direction...Please help

    Always_Learning replied to TessaMae's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Tessa, Has your instructor indicated that you have to base the care plan around back pain per se? If not, and you have identified that another nursing diagnosis might be more appropriate, I don't see...

    I have more....I am grumpy at the moment and this is so cathartic! 1. For the love of all that is good and holy, write down your own assignments. If you ask me one more time "What was our homework...

    Need some advice please.

    Always_Learning replied to vlurye1's topic in General Nursing

    Hello there, There are "accelerated" or "bridge" programs for folks such as yourself that already have a bachelor's in another area that want to pursue nursing (BSN). Shop around and see what works...

    I'm the nurse angel of death (or ICU)

    Always_Learning replied to aerorunner80's topic in General Students

    OCD, If you're the angel of death, then I'm Houdini! Every time I am assigned a patient for clinical, they get discharged!

    Writing in nursing

    Always_Learning replied to BrittMarie's topic in General Nursing

    Hi Britt - I am just a lowly nursing student (ha!) but I can tell you that writing is extremely important in nursing. First, nurses communicate by means of charting ("nursing narrative"), and the...

    Always_Learning replied to Nadra419's topic in General Students

    Nadra, Have you shared with your instructor the nature of your disorder? She is a nurse, after all, and I think if she knows the background on your situation she might understand and may even be able...

    1. Somehow, I do not get the warm fuzzies when you give me blank stares with mouths agape simply because I came to class prepared or answered a question. Call me crazy, but at this point in my...

    Always_Learning posted a topic in General Students

    OK, so I've only been in nursing school for a few weeks, but I know what it's like trying to scour for information or wonder if you're the only one who feels like _____ (insert random emotion here)....
