  1. party like a nurse?!?!

    bluemushroom replied to gummibear's topic in Nursing Humor

    Party like a nurse... Hmm... Eating chocolate cake out of a bedpan (Poop!) Drinking beer or apple juice out of urine specimen cups. Drinking sangria out of test tubes (Blood!). Jello shots out of med...

  2. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    bluemushroom replied to CaliforniaRNnow's topic in General Students

    It doesn't mean that people think they're "too cool for school" or attention seekers just because they don't want to go to pinning. They're not going for the exact reasons they've stated. Some people...

  3. Dad just doesn't understand...

    bluemushroom replied to kool-aide, RN's topic in General Nursing

    I think lots of us have gotten the "Why don't you become a doctor?" thing from people. They don't understand that it's something totally different, and they have no idea of what nurses really do....

  4. 2011 Graduate Nurses Make Some Noise

    bluemushroom replied to springgarden's topic in General Students

    I took my final 2 days ago, and pinning is in a week. Congratulations to

  5. Irritating Classmates

    bluemushroom replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Aw, gee. Thanks! :) I'm sure that if we agree on those things, we'd get along great as classmates. I've always found it odd that the ones who stick up for themselves have been called "aggressive" or...

  6. Irritating Classmates

    bluemushroom replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    There are so many irritating people in class. 1. The guy who has 1,528,362,983 questions to ask about everything. Of course you should ask questions if you don't understand something, but when you...

  7. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    bluemushroom replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry, Moogie. I honestly did not mean to be offensive, and I didn't mean to imply that your feelings are invalid. Calling your opinion "ridiculous" was a bit mean. I should have simply said that...

  8. Bathing Classmates and Other Personal Boundaries?

    bluemushroom replied to brownhairedgal's topic in General Students

    I can't believe that some people are saying you can't have empathy if you don't experience things such as bed baths, assessments, and, even worse, IVs, catheters, enemas, etc. Some are even saying...

  9. The "I HATE IT WHEN..." thread for students!!

    bluemushroom replied to shescoolie's topic in General Students

    The thermometers never worked on the VS machines. What is it about the thermometer? I remember all of us waiting for the only one that worked. It would usually be something like this: "Well, she has...

  10. Can nurses have piercings?

    bluemushroom replied to toninz's topic in General Students

    You'll have to check your school's dress code. We can wear whatever we want to class, but at clinicals we can only wear one pair of studs in our lobes. I don't have pierced lobes, but I have other...

  11. Do you practice your skills on dummies/mannequins

    bluemushroom replied to AusNurse2B's topic in General Students

    The part about the Foley is too funny!

  12. So embarrassed today and nervous (re vital signs)

    bluemushroom replied to Kringe38's topic in General Students

    Don't be mad about not passing the BP part of your check-off. It's ok. It takes some people more than one try to pass a check-off. You'll pass, and you won't be thrown out of nursing school....

  13. Made it through the first week of nursing school

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

    I'm glad you had a good first week, Mi Vida Loca. My first week was good, too. The first day was the 17th. In my first week, we had a couple of lectures each day in basics, and we met our clinical...

  14. The First Days of Nursing School by the Fall 2009ers!!!

    bluemushroom replied to craziechiq's topic in General Students

    I've got a Prestige. I was able to hear well with it when I listened to my own heart, but I guess I'll really know how good it is next week when we do vital signs. When I was buying supplies, the lady...

  15. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    bluemushroom replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Orientation is all day tomorrow, then I have to go for a couple of hours on Friday. Classes start on the 17th! I've done everything. I have my health insurance, student liability insurance, CPR card,...

  16. Oddest things found in a patient!

    bluemushroom replied to Antikigirl's topic in General Nursing

    I remember the first time I saw those pictures on rotten. :chuckle I just went back to the site to see if it was a Kroger grape jelly jar in the photos, and it was! I wonder if that's the

  17. Do you practice your skills on dummies/mannequins

    bluemushroom replied to AusNurse2B's topic in General Students

    Are you saying that a nursing student should have procedures practiced on them instead of a mannequin just so they can experience what the patient experiences and empathize more, or am I...

  18. School Supplies: Anything out of the ordinary needed?!

    bluemushroom replied to confusedstudentnurse's topic in General Students

    That's not weird at all. I love to cook and it's a great way to relax, so I've been thinking about buying some new kitchen gadgets so that I can do more cooking when school

  19. Microbes

    bluemushroom replied to tishirajan's topic in General Nursing

    Those are super cute! I will definitely be buying some. I think they'd be awesome gifts. I've got a weird sense of humor, so I think it would be funny to "give" someone a cold or herpes as a gift....

  20. 13 and pregnant....

    bluemushroom replied to RedSox33RN's topic in Emergency

    I just can't understand how parents can ignore the subject of sex and hope that everything turns out OK. The school's responsibility?? Your child is your responsibility and you should be the ones...

  21. A&P Lab ?

    bluemushroom replied to crazytonurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Dissections really aren't that bad. The worst part was probably the smell, but you'll get over it pretty quickly. Dissections were fun for me. We dissected rats in general biology, a sheep brain,...

  22. Semester if OVER!!! Shout you joy here!

    bluemushroom replied to markuskristian's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    My A&P II Lab final was yesterday. I made an A on the practical! My last two finals (A&P II Lecture and Sociology) are Friday. After that, I get to relax and enjoy the summer before nursing...

  23. Ok I am trying to keep tabs, all starting this fall say I

    bluemushroom replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm starting nursing school this fall, and I'm super excited and a little nervous. Congratulations and good luck to all of you!

  24. What was your inspiration to become a nurse?

    bluemushroom replied to joshindfw's topic in General Nursing

    I'm only a student (I'll be starting nursing school in August), but a few things have inspired me to want to become a nurse. 1. My dad and my stepdad died of cancer when I was a teenager. My dad's...

  25. tatted up and in nursing school

    bluemushroom replied to mscgirl09's topic in General Nursing

    As others have said, just make sure the tattoo can be hidden and it shouldn't be a problem. I don't have any tattoos, but I do have a few piercings. I can easily hide them by wearing my hair down and...
