  1. Is nursing right for me?

    Intern67 replied to determined09's topic in General Students

    If there is one thing I learned in nursing school, it is that it teaches you to do things that absolutely terrify you. There are many, many, many tasks in nursing that can make you uncomfortable....

  2. Glucosamine - This might be a dumb question but....

    Intern67 replied to cola_soup's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    There are two reasons you should be chastised: 1. You seem to feel you can always advise the use of OTC products for anything simply because the product is OTC. This is wrong. For instance, would...

  4. Is Nursing Right for Me? (Holistic-Minded)

    Intern67 replied to jkmk's topic in General Students

    Holistic practice includes the use of vaccines and in no way precludes the use of medications when other interventions (of all types) are ineffective. By the way, "a little pot" is a drug and if you...

  5. I know CNA clinicals will be nothing like Nursing School clinicals, but I'm pooped!

    Intern67 replied to MiahMSN's topic in General Nursing

    I remember being pooped after my CNA clinicals. We had three students to one patient for one shift, three days. It must have just been the nervousness or doing new things, but jeez. Far cry from...

    Intern67 replied to MissFlashRN's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    "1. Have you ever been attacked, physically or verbally by a patient or other non-nursing person (visitor, family member) on the job? Please describe the incident if you can." Getting attacked...

    Intern67 replied to marielina85's topic in General Nursing

    Just about any time you have lazy CNAs in a facility the root cause of the problem is incompetent management. The only solution I could come up with was to leave LTC. I'll go back if I have to, but...

  9. Why do I get yelled at for doing the correct thing??

    Intern67 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Then you are reading things a lot different than I am. Would you agree that she is getting yelled at? Why do you think that is? I think she's getting yelled at for pushing back against her...

  10. Why do I get yelled at for doing the correct thing??

    Intern67 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    Perhaps, but this new nurse will forget about that slight rather quickly if she follows the advice of the people in this thread and gets canned. There is a new grad very close by who probably cannot...

  11. Why do I get yelled at for doing the correct thing??

    Intern67 replied to Blackheartednurse's topic in General Nursing

    You are not in school anymore, you are at a job. That means your instructors are no longer the last word on nursing procedure like they were during nursing school. It seems you are getting yelled...

    Intern67 posted a topic in General Nursing

    I think this post applies to both the General and Students categories. I was just "awarded" an upaid Summer Nursing Internship with a very large health organization. Organizations in my state have...
