  3. Are A's really not practical in nursing school?

    Because communication is difficult in explaining why her infant doesn't need to be there or why we can't provide the formula and diapers she needs
  5. Most ridiculous patient requests?

    I just love it when an able-bodied family member that is spending the night with a pt calls me in to open or close the patient's door. It is even more fun when said family member is insistent that I...

    There is some great advice on this board. Grab a glass of wine and pour over the threads on this board. The thread about "what do you wish you were told on the first day" is a great thread. Dig...
  8. RN-BSN clinicals in OR

    I don't think I would be very comfortable either. I would still ask just from a patient's perspective. It may be an issue they haven't considered in the past. I know that in our PACU, it is a large...

    A crappy,negative attitude will never get a job. No one owes you, or any new grad, a job or anything else for that matter. I agree that new grad jobs are hard to find across the board. It isn't...

  12. RN-BSN clinicals in OR

  13. courses to take? (help)

    If none of those classes are available, what about a medical Spanish or a regular Spanish course? What about a first aid class? Have you talked to a nursing adviser to see what s/he says? You...
  14. Can I have multiple ear piercings?

    It is a facility rule for our program. I also work at the hospital where most of us do our clinicals and our school rules about uniform, hair, nails, and earrings, are verbatim from the hospital's...
  15. Are You a Member of the allnurses.com Grammar Police?

    Did I mention my hatred for the use of "anyways" and when people use "myself" incorrectly? "She went to the bar with Joe and myself" or "She went to the bar with Joe and I" drive me up a wall. It...
  16. need advice.

    I think you should look into medical schools and see what they require before I make any decisions about a bachelor's degree. One medical school may look at an applicant with a nursing degree and...

  25. What's the deal with med-surg?

    I'll try to answer but what I'm about to say only comes from what I hear & see at my hospital. I work as a tech on a med-surg floor if that matters any. Med-surg floors are kind of known to serve...
