    That sounds exactly like my school. We have 4 clinical groups and all four groups are doing things that are completely different. My group is the one that is focused on CNA type things. Not a surprise...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry but I'm in school to become an RN and yes, I would be unhappy to be placed with an LPN for clinical. LPNs are nurses too but RN is a higher level nurse. This is akin to an LPN student being...

    I might be missing your point but that's irrelevant because your rantings have nothing to do with the original post. The fact here is that YOU have completely missed the point of the original post....

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    There is no competition in my area so that isn't a factor. Here is what we get/got for clinical. First semester we were in a LTC. Second semester we were on med surg at 2 different hospitals. We...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    I would love to have been able to get my nursing education as you describe but there are no more of those programs in my area. We all understand that "CNA duties" are a part of nursing but the point...

    Things Patients Have Taught Me NOT To Do

    CrazierThanYou replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    No, unfortunately, there isn't. We had to do a 'group' project last semester. It ended up being 35 pages and of those 35 pages, I did exactly 35 of them. The other person did exactly

    CrazierThanYou replied to Fannie'sMom's topic in General Students

    In my case, I think that is exactly what is going on. My instructor has only been out of school for 3 years and to hear him tell it, he is super nurse. I'm becoming more and more suspicious of his...

    The Hidden Costs of Nursing School

    CrazierThanYou replied to *4!#6's topic in General Students

    I can definitely relate. Right now I am about 6 months behind on my internet bill because they stopped debiting it and didn't tell me, my car tag is dead, my inspection is due, and so are the taxes....

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    Our hospital still has paper charting until next week. After they "go live" with the computers, the students won't have access to the Pyxis or the patient charts. So, we are going to be 'relegated'...
