  1. Nudity?

    Intern67 replied to tlp514's topic in General Students

    During our human sexuality section we paired up and were required to practice having sex with each other. Then we had to do it in front of our instructors at the end of the semester and if we failed...

  2. Anyone regret ever having stepped foot in nursing school?

    Intern67 replied to summersent's topic in General Students

    Good for you for realizing that it was not for you. While I agree with your decision to change your educational path, I disagree with your self assessment as "bravery." I'm not at your school, but I...

  3. advice for getting a CNA job

    Intern67 replied to sophie<3's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Generally, the more expensive the nursing home, the better the working conditions. The nursing home I got my first CNA job at was rated as one of the worst in the country back in 2007. I learned a...

  4. Chemisty Question

    Intern67 replied to shortnorthstudent's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You got the question wrong because you chose "atom" as the key concept. However, what an atom is or isn't is not what the question is about. The most important words in the question are "charged" and...

  5. taking blood preassure

    Intern67 replied to bettybooprocks's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I suspect the two step method is taught early in nursing school because it knocks out a few Board objectives in one checkoff. It also an early indication the student can follow directions and...

  6. Tired of the CNA Lecture *Mini-rant*

    Intern67 replied to guiltysins's topic in General Students

    Being a CNA is professional training for a nursing program. I spent a good deal of time helping classmates who had not been CNAs during lab and clinicals throughout the year. However, if I thought...

    Intern67 replied to bettybooprocks's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    # 3: No you should not count the radial pulse. You are locating it so you can complete the first step of finding an initial systolic pressure. #4:Look on the little dial with all the numbers. When you...

    Intern67 replied to girtenbt's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Holy non sequitur Batman! Your analogy doesn't fit the discussion. At

  10. How is fatigues related to anemia? briefly explain the psychological & spiritual effe

    Intern67 replied to treeztuhn's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The "briefly explain" part in the OP's post cracked me up. Love when they just put the dang homework question

  11. Scared to Touch Residents

    Intern67 replied to Blueroses91's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Yep, I sure did. I did my CNA training at the Red Cross. During our three-day clinical, we were assigned 3 students to one resident (I wish I had enjoyed THAT more!), then then instructors came...

  12. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Intern67 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    LOL! There are a couple students in my class who WILL NOT shut up about their personal ailments as well as their family member's. The worst part is they will tell the same story in class OVER and...

  13. New Grads We Have Hit A New Low...Work For FREE

    Intern67 replied to SparkleRN's topic in First Year After Licensure

  14. Are we a dime a dozen?

    Intern67 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Yeah, it's definitely me with the attitude. Not only are these dastardly* old people performing better than you, but *GASP* they consider salary and benefits a part of a career choice? How horrible!...

  15. Are we a dime a dozen?

    Intern67 replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Are any of these evil old fogeys stopping you from getting a 4.0 GPA and walking right to the front of the line for one of those coveted spots? Put up or shut up

  16. Is this the career of an RN?!

    Intern67 replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    Welcome to nursing school. Myself and pretty much 100% of my classmates have been scared to death at one time or another. Me, them, us, and you still have a responsibility to deal with it in an...

  17. No one thinks I can do it!

    Intern67 replied to MKO90's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Consider it an early lesson in developing thick skin. You will need it! Remember that people can say whatever the heck they want but you and only you are responsible for how you feel about it. Work...

  18. Is it legal to put patches on residents?

    Intern67 replied to rosey2007cna's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    You would be 100% right if you worked for the places I have. (CNA/HHA) I cannot apply a patch on a client. I can remind and/or assist a client to put a patch on themselves. Truth be told, in the...

  19. Do you help the lazy aides?

    Intern67 replied to JDZ344's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    That's what I did - until I found another job. The lazy aides are still back there not taking care of patients. It is management's responsibility to hold people accountable for doing their jobs. If...

  20. A bit bummed :(

    Intern67 replied to itsnever2L8's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    You two sound like my grandmother and her sister. My grandmother died in 1976 and my great aunt still complains that, "When I ordered a peanut butter sandwich, SHE would order a peanut butter...

  21. First injection

    Intern67 replied to VMSR's topic in General Students

    Congratulations! I never told anyone, but giving shots was one of the areas of school I was really nervous about. Even more when I learned my first ever Sub-Q shot would be delivered....on myself. Me...

  22. Is this the career of an RN?!

    Intern67 replied to DGDreamGirl's topic in General Students

    VENT WARNING.... Wow. I know this doesn't address the OP's question or situation, but I wanted to ask others reading this board: Is it just me or are you also fed up with posts like this? I almost...

  23. Where do you buy nursing supplies?

    Intern67 replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I got my Littman Classic IISE at a uniform shop. I overpaid for it, but I walked in without a full clinical uniform and walked out with one. You can get a better deal online for these, but sometimes...

  24. Grades... bad

    Intern67 replied to AndyLorentz's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    I petitioned to have my previous transcript excluded and started from scratch. My 20-year old Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree carries a "stellar" GPA of 2.6 due to the very...

  25. i was kicked out of nursing school

    Intern67 replied to student_nurse_11's topic in General Students

    This alone would have been bad enough to get booted from my program with zero chance of re-entry. I believe this also puts your clinical instructor, your supervising nurse, and your nursing program in...
