  1. I failed my simulation for fundamentals today..

    doomsayer replied to stargirl018's topic in General Students

    They already know you'll be scared, fumbling, and frustrated when they give it. Why a student still in Fundamentals would be pushing Morphine is beyond me. Don't stress it. In a couple of semesters,...

  2. Burned out and hate nursing

    doomsayer replied to RN1023's topic in Health, Stress Management

    Work in the OR. The clients are asleep- and the atmosphere is very supportive of the staff needs

  3. Why Do People Bully Me?

    doomsayer replied to TheCommuter's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Today, in clinical rotation as a student nurse, we were approached while reviewing a chart and warned directly by the nurse who identified herself as, "being here the longest, I do a little of...

  4. ADD Study Strategies! Go! (Or any super study strategies that are beneficial)

    doomsayer replied to Guest11/16/14's topic in General Students

    Use the power point only to help you with what to focus on in your TEXT BOOK. You'll remember when you solidly understand concepts. Although- I came here hoping someone would post something, cause I...

  5. I need Fundamentals of Nursing HELP

    doomsayer replied to Wright88's topic in General Students

    It is never that easy :) Get NCLEX books, for sure. Saunders is great. I also recommend "Med Surg

  6. For Fun--Kudos 2 Me...The "toot your own horn" thread

    doomsayer replied to tammy1974's topic in General Students

    Kicked total A$$ in Psych Nursing. 92 on the

  7. Fighting Discouragement

    doomsayer replied to doomsayer's topic in General Students

    Learning styles IS bunkum- nonetheless, it is stressed in many schools and I thought it might give some perspective. I need to see a big picture for the smaller details to fall into place- and this is...

  8. Fighting Discouragement

    doomsayer posted a topic in General Students

    Although I love and read AN forums for some time now, this is my first cry for help. I am in my third semester of a 2 year program, one reputed to be extensively difficult (and it is). Went through...

  9. Helping a classmate

    doomsayer replied to TheAmazingMrsA's topic in General Students

    I know the responses seem negative. I think the wisdom to take from them is do what you can, but if you "want this more than anything in the world", you MUST be careful that you do not put your own...

  10. cliques in nursing school

    doomsayer replied to sunshine344's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    How can any of you find time to worry about who is cliqued up or not? I feel like I just exist from exam to exam, task to task. I don't have time for my own friends....let alone someone

  11. New nurse with job that is causing anxiety and depression

    doomsayer replied to nurseGi's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I think this says a alot about her management style, honestly. Demoralizing a new grad is not any way to invest in a future

  12. Why should I become a Psych RN?

    doomsayer replied to bellabarbiegirl's topic in Psychiatric

    I've enjoyed this thread. I, too am drawn to psych nursing. I did a recent VA rotation in clinical and LOVED it there. I also wonder if I should get some med-surg under my belt so that my options are...

  13. I'm seeing a lot of unprofessional posting here related to venting about patients

    doomsayer replied to Garethaus's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Couldn't disagree more. I think I've read this forum for nearly two years- and any whiff of HIPAA violation is met with a shut-down of that post. You come across as a bit naive if this is the focus...

  14. Forced wearing of nursing cap.

    doomsayer replied to onetiredstudent's topic in General Students

    Nurse's cap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The uninteresting Hx of the cap. It identifies you, assumes your modesty, and keeps your hair in place? *yawn* I understand going with the majority of...

  15. If I didn't pass the Final, I would fail the program

    doomsayer replied to guest042302019's topic in General Students

    Thank you for the Bloom's suggestion. I am going to check that out! I was interested in your post because I just recently had a near-miss do-or-die final. I will NEVER let myself be in that position...

  16. nurses and EMT's

    doomsayer replied to phieud's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I think many people are just ignorant of the 'discipline' of health care that EMS represents. I am a nursing student, but my mother is retired paramedic of 28 years. EMS care is about HOMEOSTASIS- on...

  17. Wrote up a CNA, but I was the one who got the boot!

    doomsayer replied to MotherRN's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    You chose not to give the needed enemas? Or chose not to do work she left undone? I am just asking for clarification because you said you were let go for poor

  18. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    doomsayer replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I get the impression that GrnTea was referring reading, not satisfying a need for peer reviewed studies. If you need that, go find it for yourself. People familiar with the subject know it is true...

  19. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    doomsayer replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Word. Totally agree. I have a few words for so-called experts, mouth breathers, people who monopolize lecture time with irrelevant discussion... but some of this stuff sounds really immature! For...

  20. How many people did you lose?

    doomsayer replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    In first level, out of 50 we lost around 15. Not too

  21. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    doomsayer replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    yeah...

  22. Flu Vaccine, enough already!

    doomsayer replied to Bklyn_RN's topic in Disaster Preparation

    When flu vaccines are produced, the CDC makes a prediction about which strain will be most active that year, and produces that strain for the vaccine. A single flu vaccine does not denote that it...

  23. alcohol wipes

    doomsayer replied to just keep swimming's topic in General Nursing

    I would clarify the instruction "while it is still wet". Is that common for placing needles or caths? Seems

  24. Biology is required for BSN?

    doomsayer replied to Skylarslaughter's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The point of biology is cell structure and function- and perspective that is

  25. Help I think the charge nurse wants me out

    doomsayer replied to AJ1980's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    She wants to hear you beg to be treated better by her. Don't do it. Let her know- without an ounce of girly, frilly 'I hope you don't mind if I say this, I look up to you" BS- that you intend to...
