  1. A&P I is not going well

    Circejane replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What do you all do in class? What does the teacher do during

  2. OB Help!

    Circejane replied to jvnCSUFSN's topic in General Students

    Preterm is 20-36 weeks, yes? Full term is 37-42. Therefore that birth would be a preterm birth. The fact that it was stillbirth would be reflected in the last number, living children. Abortion is...

  3. Nursing instructor putting student through embarassment and singles out

    Circejane replied to mjacobs's topic in General Students

    I gently disagree with the above poster. One of our jobs in nursing is being an advocate for our patients. This classmate is not a patient, but she clearly needs an advocate. Many times people who...

  4. A&P I is not going well

    Circejane replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    What exactly did she say? She had to have said more than just, "I'm not going to teach you" and that's it. What do you all do during the class

  5. LPN Student, Cried and cried...

    Circejane replied to KayDubb's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    One thing I saw in LPN school was that a great many people have trouble thinking critically. It's absolutely key in nursing, and in nursing tests. You need to learn critical thinking just as much as...

  6. melted down in my Clinical Lab today... left crying

    Circejane replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    What is your adviser saying about

  7. Reasons to get the flu shot-funny

    Circejane replied to HonestRN's topic in General Nursing

    With the interesting arguments being made for and against vaccination, this seemed

  8. Doctor's Fiancee yelled at me

    Circejane replied to QTpie86's topic in General Nursing

    I think that you will learn as you go through life that what someone has to offer has little to do with their earning

  9. partner problems at first clinical

    Circejane replied to The Princess Bride's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    It's more common than you think. I'd nip it early in the bud. Good for you for communicating with your partner, but you can't do her thinking for her, and she needs to realize that. Sounds like you...

  10. Refusing Mandatory Vaccination

    Circejane replied to vanillagerm's topic in General Students

    I didn't adequately explain what i was talking about--I was referring to the shingles vaccine when talking about avoiding shingles, but didn't realize that I hadn't made any reference to the shingles...

  11. Flu shot reaction?

    Circejane replied to NickiLaughs's topic in General Nursing

    I got my shot right in the middle delt, several inches below the joint (but I'm tall, so adjust accordingly for your height). I haven't had a reaction to the flu vaccine, but had a doozy of a sore...

  12. What's in your pocket(s)?

    Circejane replied to AllieSparksRN's topic in General Nursing

    I have actually gone to buying only scrub pants with leg pockets so that I have more pocket space! I carry an orificenal around with me, but I eventually use it all: Black pen Black sharpie lip balm...

  13. Refusing Mandatory Vaccination

    Circejane replied to vanillagerm's topic in General Students

    this kind of paranoia and misinformation is dismaying enough, but more so when it comes from medical professionals. it is erroneous to state that vaccination is medical experimentation. most...

  14. Mandatory Flu shots

    Circejane replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    Actually, the phrase "Shouting 'Fire!' in a crowded theater" is often used because it results in deaths due to the stampede and bottlenecks at exits. The analogy is very

  15. Advice needed, please!

    Circejane replied to tv012081's topic in Government, Military

    Have you looked into the USPHS? They currently have a $25K signing bonus for a four-year active duty commitment. No reserve option, but it's a good alternative to Army nursing....

  16. MRSA and Nursing school Please help

    Circejane replied to shandagro02's topic in General Nursing

    I'd check with the school as to what kind of medical clearance you'd need, but what roser13 posted sounds accurate. They want to be sure that you're not colonized. If you're clear, there should be...

  17. Mandatory Flu shots

    Circejane replied to CathyLew's topic in Disaster Preparation

    I want to make sure that i understand here. You believe that it is MORE likely that you become seriously ill from the vaccine and end up on a respirator, than that you (or someone you infect) will...

  18. My Interview--Please what do you think???? Do not ignore me!!

    Circejane replied to aromarn's topic in General Nursing

    Grats on the interviews, and I hope we see that job post from you very soon!

  19. My Interview--Please what do you think???? Do not ignore me!!

    Circejane replied to aromarn's topic in General Nursing

    The tour is a good sign, but not a sure thing, basically. They wouldn't waste their time giving you a tour if you hadn't done well in the second interview, but they're probably going to give a tour...

  20. Scared of the skills exam!

    Circejane replied to jaytori220's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    If you DO make a mistake during the skills test, and you realize it, say to the proctor, "I should have pulled the curtain before I turned the patient" or something like that. They will usually give...

  21. is my school normal? skills teaching for clinicals

    Circejane replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    This thread makes me appreciate my nursing program more and

  22. I Never Thought They'd HATE Me...

    Circejane replied to c3p0's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    No, not at all, and their reaction is kind of mindboggling. The only thing that I can think of is that if these are online friends, rather than people who you know and hang out with in real life,...

  23. NEED HELP WITH WIFE

    Circejane replied to milan18400's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Earlier in this thread, you mentioned that your wife has not really opened up to her therapist. It's wonderful that she is in therapy, but could you explain to her that a therapist working with...

  24. is my school normal? skills teaching for clinicals

    Circejane replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    This is very strange. You have no guided instruction with a teacher? 70 students in a class? What school do you go to? Nursing school requires that one be self-directed and disciplined, but that's...

  25. Refusing Mandatory Vaccination

    Circejane replied to vanillagerm's topic in General Students

    One thing I would like to point out, not just for the OP but for everyone in this situation: When you enter the nursing profession, you are CHOOSING to work with vulnerable populations. Many or most...
