  1. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    I should start doing this but... (and I should have asked this before), what does documention include? I'm invisioning keeping a journal, but is there anything more official that's included in...

  2. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Gawd I have to learn how to work in this system... I mean, I typically know how to make teachers like me and think I'm a good student, and I know how to gear my work towards what they want most of the...

  3. Pet Nurse?!

    bustthewave replied to Mashira's topic in General Nursing

    I work as a vet tech actually... in North Carolina. I have never heard of a "pet nurse." I think it's something "cute" that clinic probably came up with and not a real title... it can't be a real...

  4. Advice needed

    bustthewave replied to MJB2010's topic in General Nursing

    Wow... talk about a hostile work situation. I'm so sorry this is happening! It sounds like HR will have your back, and... it could result in the termination of your supervisor (in a perfect world)....

  5. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Oh please don't misunderstand, I'm very adament about doing a good job on these fundamentals. They are "fundamental." I know that being a nurse means making beds as well as dealing with more...

  6. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Yea I'm going back through the two classes I've sat in the back (for lack of anywhere else to sit), and I can't remember talking. I know I've asked the person beside me to stop talking... and talk to...

  7. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    haha great advice! For this class I'm definitely in the top percentage, grade wise. But the tests are really... really hard to study for, and the only graded material. So most people are failing, and...

  8. Ever had a nursing instructor hate you?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Students

    Thanks :), and yea she teaches about everything I think. I mean there are a lot of nursing instructors, so I wouldn't have her for every class, but I will definitely see her frequently. It's a small...

  9. About transgendered patients

    bustthewave replied to YEGRN's topic in General Nursing

    Just a question here by a student and no more but - wouldn't the surgery make no difference in their biology? I mean it's all cosmetic, it doesn't change their hormones or their DNA, or their...

  10. My situation, and getting into CRNA school. Do I have a shot?

    bustthewave posted a topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Hey guys, so here's my situation - I am going to community college right now. When I started I was pre-majoring in journalism. This was RIGHT before the economic crash, and apparently journalism jobs...

  11. My situation, and getting into CRNA school. Do I have a shot?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Wow thanks a lot for the reply :). I will certainly take that into consideration when interviewing. I've been reading on these forums, and I saw one poster said she/he did things like putting...

  12. My situation, and getting into CRNA school. Do I have a shot?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in Student Registered Nurse Anesthetist

    Even though it's a GPA from a community college? But thanks for the advice and the encouragement! I'll definitely look into focusing my ICU to that. I'll probably for the first year have to accept...

  13. RN volunteering, what direction should I think about going?

    bustthewave posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hey, so first I want to say I'm applying to the nursing program in about a month, and am finally heavily competitive to get in. All my pre-reqs after this semester will be done, so I'm not an active...

  14. RN volunteering, what direction should I think about going?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

    There has got to be ways for nurses to volunteer as nurses locally. I mean I could be wrong, but I can't imagine there not being good nursing volunteer work in almost every state. But as far as...

  15. I had an epiphany today

    bustthewave replied to nurse2033's topic in General Nursing

    I'm not trying to be a jerk, but while your actions were right, it doesn't sound like your attitude changed. I used to smoke... a lot. Of course people know it's bad for them, but no one has the...

  16. Almost into the nursing program... but have a tattoo sleeve

    bustthewave posted a topic in General Nursing

    Sorry, I know this topic is probably beat to death here, but I couldn't find any topics that addressed this. My tattoo cuts off at the mid-forarm, so it can easily be covered up by long sleeves. It's...

  19. What can get you fired??

    bustthewave replied to kelsie*bear's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    Ha thank you for the responce :). THis post has been really good reading for me, because if I should ever be fired I will know that it doesn't necesarily mean I'm the worst nurse ever. But I will say...

  20. I'm so embarrassed

    bustthewave replied to nursingishard's topic in General Nursing

    I would imagine this kind of thing can happen (I preface every comment with - I am not a nurse yet, and have not even started clinicals, so aside from other life experiences, I can't relate...

  21. What can get you fired??

    bustthewave replied to kelsie*bear's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    So I think when I get my first job as a nurse I'm a big candidate for getting fired because I 1. breath, and 2. I have gotten sick more than twice in the past 5 years. Oh, and 3. I have far from a...

  23. Sanitary covering of tattoos for the workplace?

    bustthewave replied to bustthewave's topic in General Nursing

    hahaha, yea makeup sounds really rediculous the more I think about this (I posted that about 10 minutes after thinking of it as an option). I'm a guy, so naturally I've never warn makeup a day in my...

  24. someone tell me it gets better after RN school???

    bustthewave replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I'm getting ready to start CNA clinicals next semester to go on to my nursing program. I am fully aware that I'll be knee deep in all forms of excrement. Honestly, I have no idea how I'll react. I...
