Still Riding

i have a question as nurses when should it be a "you should know better because your a medical professional" or if it is just living out lives? see i often wonder if my hobby is one of recklessness or not. i ride horses, but not only ride its kind ...

Ok so for the yast few months, I was feeling kinda crappy. Light headed, dizzy, But I just thought it was because of lack of sleep, and stress from school. I know I should have known better being a second year BSN. I explained the thirstyness as a...

For the past 4 years (almost) I have been in school for nursing, and all I can think is that I want out... I have had enough of friday night dates with my desk, and having no life and being 4 hours away from home and going to classes that I hate. ...

I think they are starting to advertise a little soon, I am just graduating and am fairly young too and am having a hard time decideng what i will be doing in a day/week/month/year... well you get the picture. In 30 years i will be 53, and in 40 63...

I was always taught diagnosis r/t problem as evidenced by symptoms. I jsut fill in the blanks

yesterday while in clinical i was punched by one of my clients, he just wailed on me without any notice. Now my face looks like crap, a huge black eye and cheek on the one side, even the bridge of my nose is bruised. This man wasn't little either...

I was wondering is it possible to have permanent bruises or discolouration? Is it still a bruise? what is it called if it isn't? I have seen this twice, once was on a shin on a 50+ year old woman the "bruising" was 20 years old after she had a sky...

I love the roating shifts, but if i had to pick one and stick to one I think it would be nights. that is just how my body clock likes to operate. I love the night and get all this energy in the night. And I hate mornings, i find them painful. ...

olymipic Rider, probably the Jumpers, but I would settle for Eventing. So since I am not that good of a rider, and I don't have money to buy many horses, I decided that nursing would be a good idea...

I will be finishing my final clinical this winter and although I don't know who my preceptor will be this is what I hope it will be like. -I hope that she is understanding that I am learning and guides me appropratly -I hope that she challenges me, I...

I was diagnosed with Type I in my first year of university/nursing school I was 19 at the time. I htought that it was the end of my life, truthfully I did. I had help with a dietichan and my dr. but i am currently fully controlled. i was told o...

Nursing school sucks. that is all there is too it. there have been times that I love and soem that I hate. But i don't need support when the times are good i love to share the good. But i really need the support of everyone when it sucks. Liek ri...

How do you say thanx you to a good instructor? There is one lap/clinical instructor that I never have had for any length of time other than once or twice a year over the past 3.5 years in my nursing program. But she has always been a fantastic teach...

I really wasn't a goodie two shoes. But I would like to think that I got all that crazyness out while i was young and dumb and didn't have anything to loose (or so I thought) or could loose (also a delusion)

or open up your drug book...

But it also had the power to make my But look big. I would be happier with a uniform of navy Blue or hunter green. Does it have to be white?

Hey, I graduate in months and will be an RN. I decided to work my last summer at a camp, but not as a nurse. I am a counselor and a riding instructor. We have several nurses that coem in the summer the first 2 were great I loved them the kids l...

thanx for the advice. this woman is horrid. she talks to the kids about how the staff dont' like her and she tries to bribe them with things to ge tthem on her side. she is only here for 3 more days I can't wait till she leaves I hope the next one...

if i tried to put make up on int he mornings before a shift I would end up with only one eye really quickly.

I agree with you QuilterLPN. nursing does have physical requirements. But i think i must add that my shoulder dislocates if it is pulled backwards not in assisting a Pt up or helping them move over. So although my shoulder is unstable I have never ...

I had an accident a few years back where I broke and dislocated my shoulder it never healed right and I have instability. I sublex it all the time and soem things can actually dislocate it. I could easily see if a Pt pulled on my arm the wrong way i...

OK, I can't be the only one with this problem. My scrubs are chafing my legs. I do not have this problem with any other type of clothes, only scrubs. I am not skinny so my thighs do touch it can get so bad that by the end of a 12 hour shift i do...

The bike shorts might work, but it is not really a skin on skin thing, but more where the seems meet and has that big peice of ruff material. I might try the bike shorts maybe then the material won't be so ruff against my skin. any other suggestions...

Ok so I have 2 random questions I was hoping someone could answer. and I hope that everyone else could feel free and post their questions that they have. 1. I know TV is not reality, but I have a question about something that happened on Grey's a...

That is a great explanation. and you do get bloaded I only fit into certain pants at my time of the month. it makes me feel so fat. lol
