  2. Code Blue

    Where can I find specific classes geared towards those that are/want to work in the ED or critical care? If people are saying that ACLS is watered down, then I'd rather have something
  3. Is every nursing program the same way?

    Yowsa. In my school, students that can't hack it in the sophomore year leave in the first semester or second semester. Med-surg is another weed out class, but not many people failed that class. My...
  4. Can't stand Community Health

    I hope this BS class does not interfere with a very important practicum, a practicum that may get me a job in an area I want. Community health is definitely an area I don't want to go into if I can...

  6. Was your nursing program in a dangerous area?

    I don't think CCW is legal in California. It's legal in my state, but unfortunately not allowed on site where I work and where I complete
  7. nurses dating nurses?

    For me, I want to date someone of similar background and the same faith beliefs. The faith aspect matters more; my parents were of different religions and well, that marriage didn't work out. It...

  9. What is Meditech???

    I hate it. Hate, hate, hate
  10. What have clinicals/nursing school taught you about yourself?

    I have learnt how to be an actress, and to just keep running. I've also learnt to be proactive and assertive, because lord knows no one will pay attention to you as a student unless you take the...
  11. New grad: ER or Med-surg?

    I don't understand why people say to do a year of med-surg first. If the ED offers a good sized orientation, the new graduate can learn how to prioritize patient care in the emergency setting that...
  12. Anyone else having a hard time studying over the holidays?

    I'm here procrastinating on Allnurses. Go
  13. New grad: ER or Med-surg?

  14. Why Nursing staff harm thier charges??

    I am reading this thread and at the same time, I see a post in the News section about two nursing home staff that "water boarded" an elderly patient.
  15. I never had one, and am still
  16. Ever wonder...

    So very sorry your unit ended up with an idiot. If I had applied for a position, been rejected, and found out a fool was chosen over me, I would
  17. scab nursing

    Unions are needed to keep nursing a middle class
  18. The bankers are only half the mess we are in. There should however, be more ire directed at the Federal Reserve and the Treasury. The Occupy movement has the right intentions, but they're still...
  19. In this day and age where employers can search Facebook and Google to check out a potential applicant, it's very much a valid concern. And in this day and age with increased surveillance powers given...
  20. Wear sunglasses to conceal your face, wear a trench coat, a hat, just anything to keep you from being identified. If you spot trouble, get out of dodge. Don't give out your real name, give out a...

    Memo is on a hiring freeze at the moment. Very
  23. Question About "Senioritis"

    Fear keeps me going. I've already failed an exam in one class. Granted it's an elective, but it's still a failing grade in a nursing class. Don't choke in your last leg of the race, it's so easy to...
  24. "Hidden" cameras on the floor--do you have them??

    Not really. In one hospital I have done clinicals at, all rooms had cameras, but were only turned on for high-risk patients, such as the confused geriatric patient or the high fall risk. They would...
  25. When did you start precepting/mentoring?

    As a student, I have found that as much as it depends on the nurse, I have had a better time with more experienced nurses. As in more than 2 years experience. I do not wish to have a student with me...
