  1. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Some people are missing the point regarding this whole issue, and some of you all completely understand Thank you! In my opinion (and everyone else in our class), the NS I refer to will not be able...

  2. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Yes, others got docked for the exact same reason. I don't even blame the other NS that we got docked the points for, it was the instructor's decision in the end. People are scared to speak up...maybe...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    LOL, point taken, feel free to bask in your superiority and criticize

  4. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I couldn't agree less with you. Call me a sour puss if you want. If it makes you feel any better, I have a great relationship with my instructor. Just because I'm upset about all of this doesn't mean...

  5. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    PhoenixTech: You hit the nail right on the head during the bottom portion of your post. Do we go to the same school? lol Now that it is affecting my grade, darn right it is upsetting. I'm still...

  6. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I have the grading rubric and I asked her to point out the part where she felt she could dock me points for this. She pointed out a loose interpretation of the personal and professional growth...

  7. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I have not heard if the nurses at the clinical site spoke up or not. It is summed up best by one of my fellow nursing students, "I would not let --- bury my dead dog because they would mess that up...

  8. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Exactly!! I asked her the same thing...why wasn't this brought up a long time ago before you just decided to dock my points with no warning? My CI said she would have done things differently if she...

  9. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Nope, not based on one particular incident whatsoever. It was based on the entire clinical picture, including lab. It made no difference that I had already put hours into trying to help this NS along,...

  10. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    The CI has 10 students to monitor at the site, so cannot hold hands constantly either (I wish she could). I also questioned how this has become my responsibility? For instance, this particular NS had...

  11. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I will do my best, thanks for the helpful words! That is really funny, the incompetent people must be oblivious to the fact that there is even an issue....it makes perfect sense to

  12. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Wow, that's sad! I guess I have this pipe dream that people who are incompetent don't make it through the nursing program, much less that they somehow get ahead in the nursing world. I better learn...

  13. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I fear you are right! Yes, patient safety comes first. There really needs to be an instructor with them at all times. Guess I have to hope this NS is not with us next

  14. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    I completely agree with your post. I feel that this NS is an enormous danger to any patient they come into contact with and I have expressed my concerns with my instructor. I would love to express my...

  15. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    Apparently my OP was not thorough enough and you have all gotten an incorrect picture of what went on. There were several students who had points knocked off for not overcompensating for this one...

  16. When ill equipped students affect your grade...

    wahwahgerman replied to wahwahgerman's topic in General Students

    No, actually, the other student is grossly incompetent and has demonstrated this repeatedly (failing 90% of validations repeatedly, egregious med errors, unfamiliarity with the basics of A&P,...

  17. Funny or embarrassing moments in clinicals.....

    wahwahgerman posted a topic in General Students

    I'm just curious if you all had funny (or embarrassing) situations happen during clinicals? We are new and still learning, we stumble from time to time. Anyone feel like

  18. Awful Clinical Experience

    wahwahgerman replied to caligurl1's topic in General Students

    I'm sorry to hear about your experience, and I'm really saddened that it seems to be the "norm" for nurses to treat the student nurses like they are one giant pain in the buttocks during clinicals....

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

    wahwahgerman replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Look, it's the end of the semester and I'm tired, and I'm especially tired of helping you with things you should already know. Oh, and why are you still here

  20. Methadone Maintenance

    wahwahgerman replied to KADRN's topic in Addictions

    I am still in nursing school and have lots to learn, but I am having a hard time understanding how doctors can justify giving methadone (and morphine combos) to patients for "pain control." I'm not...

  21. Please help I cant hear vitals

    wahwahgerman replied to sdcb42506's topic in General Students

    All of this is good advice! If you're having trouble palpating the brachial pulse, use all of your fingers and lay them from the antecubital space in the medial direction (i.e. your ring finger would...

  22. For Fun - Things You Want to Buy Once You're a Nurse

    wahwahgerman replied to Multicollinearity's topic in General Students

    Two tickets to paradise....one-way, of course. And yes, I just quoted that horrible Eddie Money

  23. Background Check - University of Colorado Denver

    wahwahgerman replied to klclapper's topic in Licensure: Criminal History

    I heard the arrest record can be looked at and a decision made regarding licensing, it doesn't matter if charges were

  24. You know you're a student nurse when...

    wahwahgerman replied to knittingmonster's topic in General Students

    When you pay your kid to "play patient." If this bribe doesn't work, you use pillows as your pretend patient (and you talk to them). When you look like you have inguinal/abdominal hernias because you...

  25. Anyone heard from schools yet?

    wahwahgerman replied to MauriceRC's topic in General Nursing

    Pretty sure that is exactly how it works at IH. That's how it is over at Century anyway! Looks like you're in for
