    muscadinewine replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    eh, i think we have a bit of a misunderstanding here. though i probably should let this go, i like this place and don't wish to be misunderstood. allow me to explain myself further- no attacks to you....

  2. I actually suggested to a pre req nursing student to find another profession and fast

    muscadinewine replied to kangamangus's topic in General Students

    I can't say I blame you. Recruiters spread enough misinformation - why should we? I hear people talking about and I just tell them what I know- all about healthy, normal babies and nice, undemented,...

  3. What would you do, if you were in my shoes.....

    muscadinewine replied to amaxiechRN2011's topic in General Students

    Well, after your first semester, I think you can get certified as a CNA without the training period- if you can ride out the rest of the time with Mr. Understanding. I don't know what billers make but...

  4. Whats the deal with all the crying?!?!....

    muscadinewine replied to morningland's topic in General Students

    I think nursing school, and any training/ job that requires a lot of discipline and in which you carry the knowledge that a right or wrong move could spell the difference between life and death, it...

  5. Men in Nursing

    muscadinewine replied to eas78's topic in General Students

    The only job in which gender is a relevant factor is gamete donation. Even prostitution is

  6. only in nursing school

    muscadinewine replied to fiveofpeep's topic in General Students

    No kidding, msdeannah! One of my instructors is habitually late (by 20 mins) and because, you know, according to him, he's just human and life happens, but you show up one second past class start...

  7. Who else is having fun with school supplies?

    muscadinewine replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    If you include shoes and textbooks, then I enjoy being broke as

  8. Close to quitting...need advice!

    muscadinewine replied to StudentNurzNK's topic in General Students

    Oh my god, you could be me. Clinical intimidates me too, but it's also because I'm a big-time introvert along with the lack of confidence and small talk sucks out my energy and shreds my nerves. Also...

  9. family is too grossed out to hear about my clinicals

    muscadinewine replied to msdeannah's topic in General Students

    LOL, I know- my sister who is a premed takes upon herself to inform me of basic immunology (telling me with such -authority- about the different types of immunoglobulins and what they do...all so far...

  10. better term for "saggy eldery" skin?

    muscadinewine replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    Maybe "lacking turgor" or "inelastic" is good as CrunchyMama said. I got the image, but I'm not sure either. Nursing ought to require a minor in creative

  11. CNA class ASAP!

    muscadinewine replied to Starman's topic in General Students

    Are there any technical/vocational centers close enough to drive daily? I'd also check with every nursing home in the phonebook. They sometimes have CNA

  12. Does anyone else find nursing school... easy?

    muscadinewine replied to Guerilla04's topic in General Students

    It's not overwhelmingly hard as far as the actual work goes. My problem is my instructors like to give a lot of important dates and events as "Oh, by the way" without writing them anywhere. And you...

  13. need help with concept map please!!

    muscadinewine replied to littletown's topic in General Students

    My professor suggest starting with the patient/ med diagnosis as the center- then you branch the different kinds of data off that. Maybe this will help:...

  14. How are you holding up with school?

    muscadinewine replied to eas78's topic in General Students

    Booze, meaningless sex, and cigs. J/K- Doing well, a high B average, just passed dosage calc tests without any trouble at all. How about

  15. Took My Kid to the ER and Witnessed Some Awful Behavior

    muscadinewine replied to OCD_Mom's topic in General Students

    Good Lord. Overwork, burnout, desensitization and the fact that a RN or MD behind one's name can't save a person from being what they truly are (indifferent, arrogant, drunk/addict, petty, lazy) all...

  16. regretting nursing school??

    muscadinewine replied to Val_998's topic in General Students

    It might be helpful to get some career counseling if you're not sure if you want to be in nursing- period. If it's just the bedside stuff you can't stand, maybe look into other opportunities like NP...

  17. need help with nervousness

    muscadinewine replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    You nailed it- just a lack of experience. I asked because if it's just this one thing, I've found several things to help: Practice your skills - as much as you can. Have a friend/classmate or family...

  18. need help with nervousness

    muscadinewine replied to becky5438's topic in General Students

    Are you a nervous person otherwise? Or is it just this situation that gets

  19. Just a vent about nursing school

    muscadinewine replied to hiddencatRN's topic in General Students

    Tell me about it- my two weeks in nursing school, we just worked on effective communication and hygiene. I was like " 'nurse' isn't code for 'shrink who wipes ass, is it?' " (well, it looks like it...

  20. Cliques in Nursing School

    muscadinewine replied to KMC-RN-BSN-710's topic in General Students

    I used to knock cliques automatically, but some cliques are just made up of very good friends. You wouldn't describe them as "cliquish" because they can be pried apart on occasion and the members...

  21. I have a Bachelor degree in Business going for Nursing

    muscadinewine replied to nhmilky's topic in General Students

    I'd go for the ASN because it's only two years of training before you can work and most likely it'll be cheaper too (mine at community college is 2,000 a semester vs. 4,000 at a university I looked...

  22. no energy!

    muscadinewine replied to rocket2010's topic in General Students

    If it started since school it's most likely stress, but as was said before, I'd go to doc or NP to rule out physical causes. Even if it is stress, they can address that too. Stress can turn into...

  23. Too old to become an LPN?

    muscadinewine replied to brillig721's topic in General Students

    If you've got the urge, you should do it. You'll always regret it if you don't

  24. Is it harder than you thought?

    muscadinewine replied to mikeyjsc's topic in General Students

    No, I don't think you are- it's harder than what anybody I've talked to has let on. They seem to only remember their 70k paycheck or the babies born right into their arms or something along those...

  25. Help! At risk of failure!!

    muscadinewine replied to nlleone41's topic in General Students

    Nursing diagnoses are based on the things you observe about the patient, like general appearance, things they say, etc. For example, a patient with skin breakdown on his or her hip may get an ND of...
