My name is Caitlin. I am 30 years old and live in Fairbanks, AK. I am a Forensic Nurse serving in the Emergency Department of the only hospital for the surrounding 500 mile radius. We see victims of sexual assault, strangulation, interpersonal violence, domestic violence, child abuse and elder abuse when it arises. I love my specialty and I don't foresee that changing until I'm so old I can't make it into the courtroom to serve my patients!
I currently hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing, and I am part way through my Master of Science in Forensic Nursing. I intend to complete my Doctorate in Forensic Sciences after completion of my master.

What I understood from your post is that you know that you are unsure of yourself sometimes, and that you want to do better. That is the first step forward. It sounds to me like your instructor might...
Hey guys! So I try hard not to post homework on here because I am a strong believer in doing it yourself and learning it the right way etc, etc. But I am totally stuck regarding psychosocial diagnoses...
I came on AllNurses this evening looking for an example of a focus note and found yours to be very helpful. It was one of those light bulb moments for me. So thank you for the example!

That is a really good question. I have noticed people doing this as well. I think personally, that being in nursing school is like an honor. When someone asks what you are going to school for, and you...
Is it really necessary for you to continue to talk through the lecture AFTER the teacher has asked you multiple times to be quiet? For goodness sake... TURN OFF your cell phone... is the text your...
In my opinion, something like a nursing pin from graduation is a big deal. It is something that I would spend however much money as necessary on. That pin holds all of your memories from school, and...
While reading this post, I saw both sides of the situation. As a once very shy student, I can say that I totally understand that being called out in class when it is visible that you are not...
Unfortunately, yes. I have been a CNA for years, and every facility I have worked at in two different states pushes for their employees to show up for their scheduled shifts, sick or not. There was a...
Yes, yes and YES! We have 4 or 5 different instructors, all of which have different views on things and teach things a little differently. They disagree often and a lot of times make it known to the...
