    Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    CrazierThanYou replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    I am trying to imagine myself in an emergency situation, where every second counts and in the middle of all the hustle and bustle saying "Oh sorry, I can't spike this bag. You'll have to find someone...

    Loans disbursed after classes start!?

    CrazierThanYou replied to gatordez's topic in General Students

    I got loans while working on my first degree. At that school, I could go online and accept or decline the loans and that was it. Everything else was automatic. Then, when I started working on my...

    CrazierThanYou replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

    if you need it for clinical lab, it is probably like ours with things like cath kits, iv kits, etc. heck no we haven't paid for that stuff. i would be outraged if we did. i know a lot of schools are...

    Jehovah's Witness nurses in the critical care unit?

    CrazierThanYou replied to asdf88's topic in Critical Care

    While working on my first degree, I wrote a paper on JWs. I had a really hard time getting any kind of straight answers from any Witnesses so I had to rely on secondary resources. What I want to know...

    I am just trying to imagine if I could bear the thought of putting someone else's breast milk in my eye.... But as someone who use to get pink eye on a regular basis and is uninsured, I just might.......

    Skills Lab kit

    CrazierThanYou replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

    We have to buy this bag full of stuff yet the lab is full of the same stuff. I haven't used anything out of my bag yet because I've yet to remember to take it to school with

    Skills Lab kit

    CrazierThanYou replied to Yummy Chocolate's topic in General Students

    It's probably going to be different everywhere. At my school, we have to get a "lab kit" that consists of things we'll use in lab: catheter kits, IV kits, bandages, saline, etc. But, I've seen other...

    Do you use youtube for clinical demonstrations?

    Our instructors have encouraged us to look for demonstrations on YouTube. I haven't so far,

    research and papers and such

    CrazierThanYou replied to momtojosh's topic in General Students

    At my school we don't write any kind of papers or do any kind of projects. We are told the state considers that "grade padding". I guess they could give them to us as "busy work" but they haven't so...

    Out of shape, how can I prep for clinicals??

    CrazierThanYou replied to theantichick's topic in General Students

    I can identify. My knees recently started hurting whenever I stand for a while. I think its because I've gained a few pounds and my knees are rebelling. Let me just say, New Balance might work for...

    Loans disbursed after classes start!?

    CrazierThanYou replied to gatordez's topic in General Students

    I don't have loans but I do have a scholarship. Funny thing is, the scholarship doesn't disburse until a week after classes begin. So, I have to pay out of pocket and then get reimbursed. Its no big...

    CrazierThanYou replied to SingDanceRunLife's topic in General Students

    Last semester we had clinical one day a week for 6 hours. We had 6-7 clinicals depending on the group we were in. Next semester, clinical is one day a week again but I think the hours are a bit...

    How do you study from books? I want to use some new study tactics

    CrazierThanYou replied to moonredlife's topic in General Students

    Using the study guide might be helpful IF the instructor pulls questions from it. Ours did not. All our tests are NCLEX style and the study guide we had for our fundamentals class was like a standard...

    A Couple General Nursing School Questions

    CrazierThanYou replied to lifelearningrn's topic in General Students

    This sounds pretty similar to ours. The classes are scheduled and YOU have to fit THEIR schedule. There is NO flexibility. ALl of us take the classes together. The classes themselves are very...

    cliques in nursing school

    CrazierThanYou replied to sunshine344's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I think part of the reason everyone is so rude to him is because of his age. These women are all in their 30's. I try to have as little to do with them as possible. After I posted this, a couple days...
