    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in General Nursing

    When I say assist, I don't literally touch the IV pump, but I'm just there in observance. As far what I do more than a typical volunteer, I will help lift patients onto beds from paramedic's flat...

  3. AAh! Textbooks....take a lung and a kidney for payment.

    guest042302019 posted a topic in General Students

    I just bought my books for next semester and I barely got out of there with both of my legs(but I had to sell a kidney and my left lung in order to cover the bill). Ofcourse, I'm not serious but you...

  4. Help please - need a nursing watch w/ a small wrist band

    guest042302019 replied to hearts895, RN BSN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    This is a verrrry easy fix. I have the exact opposite problem, most "factory" wrist straps don't fit my on my wrist, because they are too small. You have several options. If you have a mall in your...

    All of us on a daily basis read, read, and read some more. We read our psychology, our sociology, our math, our microbiology, and our infamous A&P. While I don't know for sure, I would place a...

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    There is a section in the e-book that goes over the concept, I think you are talking about. Chunking. It goes into how to utilize our peripheral vision, as well as our ability to comprehend several...

    lol Yes, it is a bit long and yes it does sounds like an infomercial. However, anything worth while takes some time to learn and understand. If that wasn't the case, I suppose we would go through...

    guest042302019 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    As opened my mailbox, and sifted through the usual nonsense junk mail, I came across this curious letter from my college, and I knew this was different than the typical bill, or school event...

  11. 8th night in the ER series(shorter)

    guest042302019 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3/19/2010(8th night) Tonight I arrived about 45 minutes early simply because I couldnt wait any longer to go volunteer. As I arrived, I noticed another volunteer sitting at the station, a young girl,...

  12. 1st and 2nd night in ER series

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I'm sure you'll get in. The hospital always loves to have people to volunteer. Let's face it, it's a win win for both parties, you get great experience and they get labor for free-legally. I...

    guest042302019 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    So I recently posted a brief description of my volunteer experiences in the hospital and in the ER. What I also do is that when I come home, I write about my experiences I go through. I write...

    3/18/2010(7th night) Tonight, my uncle Bob gave me a ride to the hospital. I even said, " This'll make a good start for my diary." He smirked, and as we arrived at the car port, I said my good byes...

    guest042302019 posted a topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    3/15/2010(6th night) I pull up to the hospital, and many cars are parked in the lot. Either it's a monday and more staff are here, or there are more people ailed. I would later find out, the latter is...

    3/14/10 (5th night) My fifth night in the ER was relatively laid back. I haven't been there yet when "all h$$l breaks loose" as they say. It seems everytime I greet Tera, the charge nurse, that she...

    3/7/2010(4th night) As with any other day, this night in the ER was with no repetition. However, tonight was very laid back. I get in the elevator, and push "1" floor which is the location of the ER....

  19. Volunteer in the ER

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    That must be exciting. I prefer adults, actually for the silliest things. I'm not a big fan of babies crying. It's not their pain that bothers me, just the young kids and babies crying that does. Even...

    guest042302019 replied to guest042302019's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I think no matter where you volunteer, you'll learn. Not that I would know, because I'm not a nurse yet is, maybe the ER would give you alittle more "variety" of situations, so you may learn a bit...
