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...
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...
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.
Recently had two girls in my nursing class who've both had kidney stones. They both weigh about 100 lbs... going with genetics. As for Krispy Kreme, I love it, and my butt is as big as a house (ok,...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
hehehe...Memories! In my EMT-B class, we knew the answer when arriving on scene was 1-Scene Safety and then 2-gloves!!!! We joked about it all the time.
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...
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,...
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...
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....
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...
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...
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
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...
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...
