    Rylee2008 replied to Java_Wench's topic in Operating Room

  4. Why all the haters?

    Rylee2008 replied to UVAnurse9's topic in Operating Room

    I love the OR. I have never been bored. I get to do everything from IV sedation to Code C's. On call I never know what I'll get, but usually it's a trauma patient. I think I give better care...

  10. Hopelessness r/t nursing school

    Rylee2008 replied to jennifer7010's topic in General Students

    I graduate in May and this semester has been the hardest. I think students hit a point of "burn out". I had to learn to be a "B" student instead of an "A" student and that is alright for me. I need...

  18. Favortism in Nursing School

    Rylee2008 replied to latebloomer74's topic in General Students

    We also have this issue at our school. I just act above it. The NCLEX doesn't care who was teacher's pet. It does make you mad when others get through without doing all the work, but their luck...
