  2. Dialysis to other areas

    mkhoaja posted a topic in Dialysis, Renal, Urology

    Hello all, I am a recent graduate, and of course as we all know it's tough to find a job. I have an interview with a Dialysis center, and while it's not my first choice, it's a paycheck. My ideal...

    mkhoaja replied to sunshyn_42's topic in Texas Nursing

    I know how all of you feel. I am graduating this semester, but when I applied back in 09, it took them forever to reply to all of us. I wish all of you the best of luck, and if you ever need advice,...

    mkhoaja replied to PatMac10,RN's topic in General Students

  7. Am I too young?

    mkhoaja replied to mariemac89LPN's topic in General Nursing

    Your only too young if you think you are. Life is usually a state of mind, and you have to truly believe in yourself and your abilities. You cannot let other people dictate how you want to live your...

  8. Exam Stories

    mkhoaja posted a topic in General Students

    I had a heart stopping experience recently, which is really funny now that its over, so I thought it would be fun if we all shared some funny/dumb stories. I was taking my exam, and inadvertently...

  9. can you make it all the way through nursing school on dishonesty alone?

    mkhoaja replied to Desire2Learn's topic in General Students

    Yeah I know what you mean because our teachers are watching us like vultures circling their prey. Not to mention we usually have 4 different versions of the test to begin with. There is no way that...

  11. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja posted a topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I have to vent a little on this issue guys. I am in nursing school and during almost every clinical, its guaranteed that I will see a nurse that is miserable, that looks like this is the last place...

  12. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    For the record, I am a male student nurse. Having gotten that out of the way, I think I am going to end my post here. I have to say that it has been rather eye opening to say the least. I started a...

  13. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Thank you carolmacca66 for seeing my main point. Nursing most definitely is unlike any other profession. My first clinical day, there was a family who was coming from the ICU to a room so their...

  15. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Where did I make a judgement about any nurse? I am simply venting my observations. If i came across as being judgemental, then please accept my apologies. Like I have said previously, I understand...

  16. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Are you nuts? That doctor who put a hole in her esophagus wasnt allowed anywhere near my mom because she tried to get out of bed and hit him LOLLLLL. (im glad we can laugh about it now) How would you...

  17. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    Fribblet, I dont think thats fair. I go out of my way to make sure I dont add any stress to my nurse because I know he/she already has a full plate. Dont assume that I go in as a "know it all...

  18. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    She was on Fentanyl pain patches, and some of the nurses left the old patches on, not bothering to take them off. When she asked about them, they told her it was ok. After almost overdosing, she was a...

  19. Stop being so miserable

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    By no means am I judging anyone here. I see what my nurses have to go through and its not easy and can be quite stressfull. I am just writing what I am observing. I guess deep down it comes down a...

  20. Why all the dislike for young nurses who already know they want to be a CRNA

    mkhoaja replied to I_See_You_RN's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Its the 80/20 rule. LOL it always applies to everything sadly. 20% of the dummies get 80% of the attention because they ask such retarded questions, and the other 80% of the serious people get 20% of...

    mkhoaja replied to Jrivet5's topic in Texas Nursing

    DO NOT DO THE WORKBOOK IN ADVANCE! (health assessment) It is for a grade every week, and your only allowed to do the chapter assigned for that specific week. If you work ahead, they will give you a...

  23. average GPA from good school, or high GPA from bad school

    mkhoaja posted a topic in General Nursing

    I am curious to know which is better. To have an average GPA from a really good school, or to have an outstanding GPA from an easier school. I only ask because like most people, I have to accept a C...

  24. average GPA from good school, or high GPA from bad school

    mkhoaja replied to mkhoaja's topic in General Nursing

    You're right juliaann. There is nothing that can measure one program with another because the number of variables are virtually infinite. I had a 3.6 gpa from the first semester of school, which was...

    You will need a watch digital/analog for clinical with a "seconds" hand. Mine is digital, but it displays seconds on there as
