    How many people did you lose?

    ImThatGuy replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Students

    Lots. Well, respectively, we've lost more than 50% of the cohort, but the school's NCLEX pass rate is like ninety something percent. We started with 25 people. We're still losing them

    First job in Psych nursing

    ImThatGuy replied to beachhorizon's topic in Psychiatric

    I like that. I don't want to do a lot of (preferably any) procedures. I'm not interesting in IV's, Foleys, NGTs, etc. I used to work as a paramedic some (side job). I'm past skills. To me they're...

    Adventures in Psychiatric nursing-

    ImThatGuy replied to Guest717236's topic in Psychiatric

    Maybe because I've done (and still do) the police side of what you're talking about in your examples and becauseI have seen similar instances of all of those stories that it still doesn't seem like a...

    How hard are the nursing programs at state schools?

    ImThatGuy replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    I think health alterations is such a silly name for a course, however, it's very nursing school-esque. The name ought to tell you what school is like. Essentially, nursing school is an attempt to...

    Having a hard time opening up my book...

    ImThatGuy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    My final Hesi exam is tomorrow, and I haven't studied. I had a community health final today, and last night I rented Super 8 and got pizza. Tonight, eh, I don't know, but I won't be studying. I...

    Can't stand Community Health

    ImThatGuy replied to cogath's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I didn't like community health either. It was not fun. Everyone I spoke with said it would be fun. The lecture was boring and provided by a mindless drone. The clnicals were disorganized and...

    has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    ImThatGuy replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    Just ask. Say I've got this going on. Could I be in a clinical group that doesn't meet that day. I got my Monday clinicals changed to Wednesday because I get off at midnight and didn't want to drive...

    Tell Me About Your Final Semester of Nursing School

    ImThatGuy replied to Despareux's topic in General Students

    Hmm. Our second and last med-surg kind of course is critical care. How'd you get three of them to get to that point? That starts in January though, and we'll finish in May. I can only say "bring...

    has anyone ever missed/skipped clinical?

    ImThatGuy replied to citylights89's topic in General Students

    On that last Monday holiday (Veteran's Day?) I got to a community health clinical site about five minutes early. No one was there yet so I turned around and went home. About five hours later I drove...

    What would you want?

    ImThatGuy replied to RN1488's topic in General Students

    Ha. It would appear that my reply, an attempt at humor, was deleted. I love

    What have clinicals/nursing school taught you about yourself?

    ImThatGuy replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    Yeah, I didn't learn anything from clinicals either. Well, I know that if I had to go to work in med-surg I'd forgo nursing as a whole. Screw that mess. It goes without saying that OB and such forays...

    Is there a point in celebrating holidays in nursing school?

    ImThatGuy replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    You need to relax and live life. I have a gigantic community health project and presentation due Tuesday afternoon and have done next to nothing. I know me. It'll get done...at the last minute, and...

    I didn't read all of that, but with a burn clear the airway, assure respiration and circulation (escharotomy anyone?), fluid balance, thermoregulation, prevent/treat infection, high calorie/high...

    is it worth it?

    ImThatGuy replied to urbanproverb's topic in General Students

    I'm just the opposite. It's a second degree for me, but the pharm and patho are the elements that I like. Actually working with patients has become...let's just say

    Working In a Clinic

    ImThatGuy replied to Soliloquy's topic in General Students

    Frankly, in many parts of the U.S., as in my state, you could do darn near anything in a clinic regardless of being a student or licensed "professional." As long as the doctor can validate that you...

    IS 15,000 to 20,000 a reasonable loan for LPN

    ImThatGuy replied to shanie818's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    OMG! That is absurdly expensive. You could've done that at the local community college for around three thousand bucks. I hope you get a fat check on the job

    Anyone else having a hard time studying over the holidays?

    ImThatGuy replied to NurseLoveJoy88's topic in General Students

    Take the weekend off. You'll probably do better later if you take a break now. I've been taking the weekend/night off since classes resumed in August, lol. This has been a much better semester for it...

    How can I channel less stress?

    ImThatGuy replied to loveoutloud's topic in General Students

    I live with a lot of stress as do we all, but I internalize mine and pretty much live in agony, lol. I can't help but laught at it. I always thought it was funny until my mental health teacher told...

    Last clinical, sad

    ImThatGuy replied to SunshineDaisy's topic in General Students

    We always celebrated that. I don't think anybody in my 13 person cohort likes clinicals, lol. We'd knock off after half the day, skip journals or other paperwork, walk out, and go out and eat as a...
