    Professional Roles in Nursing class questionnaire

    DolceVita replied to jdib's topic in General Nursing

    So I am going out on a limb here to say that this may not be in the spirit of what you need to do. Nor, perhaps, the letter of what you are supposed to be doing. The key being "interview". To have...

    I am not an LPN returning but I have noticed that a couple of instructors at my school behave differently towards you guys. I don't mean in a good way. You should start a thread about

    Do you think it matters when a patient tells your instructor...

    DolceVita replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    As long as the instructors are also observing you directly too. I want my patients to have a good opinion of me but I need feedback from a professional

    2nd Semester RN student, thinking of going to LVN..Advice?

    DolceVita replied to Sammygrll's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with the OP about never being tagged for the same thing twice. If an instructor said "you need to do this/know this" you bet I bloody well knew before she saw me again. You sound...

    EPIC, documentation & time management advice

    DolceVita replied to Umrn1's topic in General Nursing

    Not everyone has their EPIC systems set up with a WDL/WNL option. Even if yours does you may or may not have noticed that you can type "cra" in a lung assessment field and "crackles" will come up....

    2nd Semester RN student, thinking of going to LVN..Advice?

    DolceVita replied to Sammygrll's topic in General Students

    OK First of all what is this instructor doing to help you improve? From what little you have said he/she is not giving specific feedback. This remark that even if you "walk on water" you won't be...

    My patient thinks I'm incompetent. Should I care?

    DolceVita replied to RNpatterson's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    In my limited experience how we present ourselves to our patients seems to make a huge difference. If we are calm and professional it seems to instill greater ease with them. So, even if I was...

    DolceVita replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    My instructor spoke with each patient once a shift to get their opinion. So it mattered to her. She also checked in with each of our nurses at the end of the shift. She was even found to be lurking...

    Students with young kids...how are you handling it?

    DolceVita replied to brittanywatson's topic in General Students

    You miss my point. If, in life, we seek and identify only with those whose circumstances are the same as ours (e.g. those going to school and have children) we limit ourselves. Also, if you consider...

    Students with young kids...how are you handling it?

    I completely respect the difficulties you face. I would like to remind people that having children is but one of many stressors that people in nursing school may face. We all have to make serious...

    DolceVita replied to thompsonsm4's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Go to your state university and sit down with their advisors of the BSN program and find out what, from your BSc, gets you credit. I should have done this instead I went for my RN via the ADN...

    DolceVita replied to pedneurornhopeful's topic in General Students

    I loved my rolling backpack but gave it up. In a busy college hallway people would trip over it. I figured some dipstick would sue me. So even though I have spinal arthritis I carry whatever I need...
