    Nursing Shoes

    CrazierThanYou replied to AlleycatLPN's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I can't wear any kind of "athletic" shoe for long term standing because they kill my feet. I tried on a pair of my classmates Danskos and it was horrible, like standing on concrete. I tried Shape Ups...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Montessori Mommy's topic in General Students

    If you are going to "teach" us IV calculations by doing half a problem on the board, don't get all ****** off when we ask questions. Also, if you're going to mark a test question wrong that is...

    Grading dilemma... what do YOU think?

    CrazierThanYou posted a topic in General Students

    I'm in my third semester of nursing school. This has been a rough semester for many of the students in the class as far as grades go, with the majority failing the first, second, and last tests. So,...

    Grading dilemma... what do YOU think?

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    My day in the ER... (vent)

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    We don't surprise the nurses and departments with our presence. They are aware ahead of time that we're coming. Our instructors are very careful about stepping on toes. The nurse was all sunshine and...

    My day in the ER... (vent)

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    You guys all give great advice, thank you! I think I mentioned before that this nurse really has an attitude and I think she was deliberately trying to fake me out. She'd act like she was going over...

    CrazierThanYou replied to medsurgtrenchesRN's topic in General Students

    At least 2/3 of my BSN-A cohort is failing... what to do?

    I am planning to let her know how it went. We also have to write a reflection on our clinical experiences. Like I said, there wasn't a WHOLE lot going on but I could have at least helped with triage...

    My day in the ER... (vent)

    CrazierThanYou replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    This ER is in a rural area and there really wasn't much going on at all. Yes, I tried to jump in but this girl wasn't having it. She's known for her bad attitude and I can totally see

    CrazierThanYou replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

    I'm also from NC and I took the CNA test about a year and half ago. It was to my understanding that any skill could go into the pool but I don't know that for sure. Don't stress over it. The test is...

    Student nursing classes on medical absence?

    CrazierThanYou replied to CecileSF's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    CrazierThanYou replied to clairebelle's topic in Nursing Student Assistance
