    Psilant replied to Ruby Vee's topic in Nursing Humor

    lol. i'm still a sn, but one nurse i was working with had to chart why meds weren't given on time and they literally charted that the pharmacy people were morons. (despite several calls and trips to...

    Psilant replied to RhiaRN75's topic in Nursing Humor

    I love my dog dearly. But since he is a 130lb bullmastiff, I can't carry him around with me everywhere I go. My MIL has two little dogs that go EVERYWHERE with her. When she comes to visit at MY...

  4. Curious About Drop-out Rate In Nursing School

    Psilant replied to CeilingCat's topic in General Students

    Our class started out with 55ish. We lost about 12 the first semester, those slots were then filled with transfer students to make it back up to 50ish. Then we lost another 10 or so the second...

  5. Frustrated with clinical experience

    Psilant replied to FrogKissingNurse's topic in General Students

    Wow. I'm so sorry for you frustration. I have to say that this is not the case everywhere. I've seen where some people have said they needed to be proactive with their instructors. I'm in my last...

  6. Older Nursing students

    Psilant replied to MarieD's topic in General Students

    I'm 32. We have several 'mature' students in my class. We even had a 72 yo!! He didn't make it, though not because he couldn't handle the material. He is a brilliant man!! I hope I stay that...

  7. Overwhelmed and Nervous

    Psilant replied to brokenroads27's topic in General Students

    It is completely normal to be nervous and overwhelmed. They throw a lot at you in such a short time. It will seem like as soon as you think you have something down, they will prove you wrong. Just...

  9. Stupid things said by your non-nurse significant other

    Psilant replied to Moogie's topic in Nursing Humor

    My sister told me a while ago that she wanted to be a nurse. After her hearing me tell her how hard it is and all the work (classroom wise) that was involved she changed her mind. She then said that...

  10. You Know You've Had A Hectic Shift/Day At Work

    Psilant replied to FranEMTnurse's topic in Nursing Humor

    I'm 5'3" and my DH is 6'1". For the first decade of our marriage he would walk so much faster than me I had to jog to keep up sometimes. Now, I'm pulling out in front of him!!!

  11. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    Psilant replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I see what you guys are getting at. My school does NOT nullify questions. They don't grade on a curve either. If you know it, good. If you don't, then you fail. Their passing standards for HESIs...

  12. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    Psilant replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    My class says C=Degree, myself included. This isn't because we are going for the bare minimum, more for the fact that the majority of us are over achievers and we were all devastated when we didn't...

  13. Complaints You've Heard During Nursing School

    Psilant replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    I'm starting my last semester this week. I get so sick of hearing everyone complain that the instructors are so unfair, and they check up on every little thing we do... blah, blah, blah. HELLO?! We...

    Psilant replied to scaredofshots's topic in Nursing Humor

    Not sure if this has been posted yet or not... When I have pts that are on tele and multiple IVs (shoot, sometimes it only takes one), they tend to get all tangled up and complain about it. I tell...
