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

    StudentNurse2011 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    LOL thanks. It was a little confusing - coming right on the heels of my post. Don't know if I'm the classmate - could be. Stranger things have happened.

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

    StudentNurse2011 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Is that message directed to me? I was under the impression that this forum is designed for nurses and student nurses, and that this folder and thread are specifically for student nurses. If I...

    StudentNurse2011 replied to ~Mi Vida Loca~RN's topic in General Students

    It's FLYING. I'm about to finish my first semester, and I swear, in some ways it feels like I've been in school for a few days, but it some ways it seems like I've been in nsg school my whole

    StudentNurse2011 replied to r1013's topic in General Students

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

    StudentNurse2011 replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Oh man, this thread will be so therapeutic over the next three semesters. LOL Here goes nothing. 1) It seems to be a recurring theme here, but PLEASE shut the *&^% UP! Sidebar conversations...

  6. Did I do the right thing?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to edrn09's topic in Emergency

    We've had to call the PD a couple of times when a patient left after procedures under anesthesia without a driver. Yes, we documented the heck out of it and contacted risk management. As far as I...

  7. INR/PT What am I missing here?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to StudentNurse2011's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thank you! I had a feeling that was it, but I haven't found anything in the textbook to support my theory. I just knew if I put that it writing and handed it in that it'd be wrong and my prof would...

  8. Faith-based Hospitals.. can anyone apply?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    That hospital (and the one I currently work for) are both very small, very intimate hospitals. I've worked for larger hospitals, but the culture shock was just too overwhelming for me. I really...

    StudentNurse2011 replied to tnbutterfly - Mary's topic in General Nursing

    That goes double for me! I've been lurking for quite a while - sending links for specific threads to classmates in nursing school, reading hilarious posts to the family, and hopefully learning a lot...

  11. Need advice desperately

    StudentNurse2011 replied to pageturnstyle's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    I agree with an earlier answer - don't beat yourself up too much about this. First of all, nursing school is one of the most stressful situations I've ever been in. Second of all, for better or...

  12. What are bilateral pigtails?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to WVUstudent's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Where were they placed in the body? Could they mean pigtail stents? Pigtail stents are sometimes used in the biliary tree (although they aren't bilateral LOL). They basically look like this: O___O,...

  13. What is a slip tip syringe?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to Hope2BaRN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Slip tip syringes don't have a luer lock system. The needle just slides on. They come in a variety of sizes - 1, 3, 5, 10, 20, 30, and 60 ml (and maybe other sizes too). They do tend to pop off...

  14. pushing hospital beds around

    StudentNurse2011 replied to kraam's topic in General Nursing

    "Make it fun for the patients." I do the same thing. I tell the patients, "This is just like Disney. Please keep your arms and legs inside the ride at all time; do not exit the ride till it comes to...

  15. Faith-based Hospitals.. can anyone apply?

    StudentNurse2011 replied to nurse441's topic in General Nursing

    I worked at an Adventist hospital in the Sunbelt system for many years. For the most part, it's an excellent place to work. There were a few down sides (if you aren't an Adventist). The cafeteria in...
