  1. so....i'm skipping class tonight....

    Yes, I'm guilty. If I went to anatomy (was my 8am class last year), I was in the back of class reading for nursing (at 0900). I'd skip if I had a test that morning. I could use the extra study time or...
  2. Hello - What state are you from?

    Whoo! Go Mt. Airy! We used to drive thru there to get to my Grandma's house in VA. Live in eastern NC, but live in one of the bigger cities here. We have a huge hospital. But then, there is a bigger...
  3. Question about a pt I had with burns

    The incident occured when we were not there. I decided to remove the student from the care of the patient, placed her with another patient nearby. I didn't feel it was safe for her.

  5. fingerprinting for NC BON? (long)

    I would talk with you dean of students, and I would also contact the NC BON (http://www.ncbon.com). I am sure they would both have some resources and the answers you needed. Good luck, hope everything...
  6. Things I've Learned From Medical Students

    One of the moments when nursing school all started to click? The day I had to do a project at a free clinic with a bunch of first year med students, one 4th year, and a MD. Before the patients came, I...
  7. What not to say / do while you are in the ER...

    Again, if they had kept their pants up, how would they know it burns? How many other times had pt been seen for same?
  8. I'm writing up the CNA at my LTC facility

    WHOA! I can only pray you haven't written her up yet. How do you know she's been doing this? Have you spoken with this nurse? Have you spoken with the CNA? First of all, you need to give yourself...
  9. What ?'s Should I Ask the Recruiter?

    Congrats. I'm almost there too. We've been going over some things. What is your management style? What would you do in this situation? (tardiness?) What room is there for advancement? How do you view...
  10. Willmington area hospitals

    I called last year, and I think it started out around
  11. Hi! I recently finished my second to last semester of nursing school, which included neuro. I had a question, and my instructor was unable to answer it. I'm not even sure if it's possible, but I'm...

    Thanks to all of you. I did not realize that the response could be so varied.
  15. New NC Child Safety Seat Laws

    hehehe... Have a good friend who is about 4'11", maybe 100lbs soaking wet. We joked with her about her having to buy a booster seat because of the weight/height limits on them. Maybe she can use her...
  16. Willmington area hospitals

    I am looking for similar info. I've checked out the new hanover website (I think it's http://www.nhhn.com) but haven't checked it lately. I believe there are also some smaller hospitals in the area,...
  17. I'm about to start my last semester of an ADN program. We pay dues each semester to ERI, which does testing for us, and we're supposed to have a NCLEX review after graduation provided by ERI. Has...
  18. Review Books

    Does anyone have any suggestions for a new NCLEX review book? I asked for one for Christmas, was given the money for it (I asked to pick it out). I checked out some from the library, but they're old....
  19. What to do!?

    If I worked at ****, I would be in CIU. It's been the only area so far that I've enjoyed, and even then I didn't care for certain parts of it (RN's who sat in their pod and blabbered loudly about...
  20. What to do!?

    I need advice... I'm now a senior nursing student, graduate in May. I live in Greenville now, grew up near Hickory. My problem? I don't know where the heck to go after graduation!!! The hospital here...
  21. I know. I had to sit in a different room for some of our finals. It was the "sick" room...we were sniffling and coughing like crazy, but it kept us from disturbing the other
  22. Strokes and Positioning

    I meant decerebate and decorticate. Sorry.
  23. ER nurses compared to EMT's

    Agree and Disagree. I was an EMT before I was in nursing school (about to start last semester of nursing school). As an EMT basic, you're taught to load and go. You drive, you do compressions, you get...
  24. Open heart ICU

    I'm still in nursing school, did a rotation thru cardiac intermediate unit. My instructor noticed how much I enjoyed the area, said to let me know when I decide which part I want to work in. She said...
  25. Heard a sad, scary story from my preceptor today

    I think I remember something about the pubic symphysis. I'm not sure how common the practice was, or how the force was exerted.
