  1. Knocked off my feet

    giveface replied to redface's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh you know, I remember fearing this too in my final year of my BScN. I too made the Dean's honor list 2x, and I had top grades. Thankfully I finished my degree, but man did it challenge me to...

  2. Treating the Muslim patient

    giveface replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    Yes we can agree to disagree. Thank you for being respectful of my

  3. wondering if a complaint will be filed against me

    giveface replied to weavrvirgorising's topic in General Nursing

    Gosh I sure hope not. You sound like you learned a lot from it and every single nurse will make a mistake at some point. Learning from them and moving forward is what's most important. You sound...

  4. bad nursing care rant

    giveface replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Nursing

    I just think that of course, wherever possible, we should attempt to give our professional colleagues the benefit of the doubt. Sure there is the odd bad apple out there that ignores these things,...

  5. Treating the Muslim patient

    giveface replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    If you don't agree with my opinion that is fine, but I'm unsure how I could make my statement any clearer. I believe I made my position clear. Please re-read my

  6. Treating the Muslim patient

    giveface replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    In essence yes that is what I'm saying. I am just pointing out that there is already an UNREALISTIC amount of work pilled onto the clinical RNs plate, and that we are not there to be puppets to a...

  7. Treating the Muslim patient

    giveface replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    First of all, I must say I think this is quite presumptuous of you. You don't know me, you don't know how I nurse, you have not witnessed my practice in a clinical setting; so, I believe it is unfair...

  8. Confused about recapping in the medroom

    giveface posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Something is confusing me that I need help with. I would never recap a dirty needle, but I am confused about recapping a needle in the medication room during injection preparation. First of all, how...

  9. 79K for a BSN???

    giveface replied to wishing2BAnurse's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    The only thing I would caution you is that nursing is so much more than I thought it would be when I quit my corporate job 4 + years ago now to do this. I am NOT saying I regret my decision to do so,...

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

    giveface replied to rnintwo's topic in General Nursing

    I 100% agree with the last sentence here. I have found that there can be some seriously judgmental and self-righteous personalities in nursing. Is it really so hard to believe that with all the...

  11. Treating the Muslim patient

    giveface replied to Inspired By Silence's topic in General Nursing

    I think the complexities that have come up with providing culturally competent care are really just an outgrowth of this hole switch to a "customer focused" health care paradigm. The hole thing is...

  12. Made a mistake!

    giveface replied to what2donow's topic in Ob/Gyn

    Making a mistake in nursing sucks for so many reasons. We have a punitive perspective on mistakes because, yes, after all we don't work on produce. The stakes are high, but that doesn't mean that...

  13. blood exposure from hiv patient

    giveface replied to dRkazN's topic in General Nursing

    I think you're risk is pretty small. I think diarrhea is the most common complaint. The ARVs have a wide range of possible side effects. I wish you the best, and I hope all comes back ok....

  14. Confused about recapping in the medroom

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think what it was simply was just that I had placed the cap on the counter instead of the inside of the sterile wrapper that the whole syringe and needle came in. So, when the RN saw me scoop up on...

  15. Confused about recapping in the medroom

    giveface replied to giveface's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Ok thanks you two! I thought this was the case, but I looked up another thread on here about recapping and someone said, "I don't even recap clean needles." And I was like, whaaaaaaaaaaatt? I...

  16. Study alot and cannot find away to get a better grade, help

    giveface replied to jjhutman's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Take a deep breath and try not to blame yourself, that won't help. Focus on the goal. If your sitting down on a Saturday night and you're still not feeling comfortable with a chapter or a topic,...

  17. Decorticate vs. Decerebrate posturing

    giveface replied to jelly221,RN's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    The body of the upper motor neuron cell lies in the pre-central gyrus of the motor cortex. A lower motor neuron cell body lies in the spinal cord and synapses with the UMN at the level of its...

  18. Gay male nurse stereotype?

    giveface replied to greygooseuria's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Well to be honest, I am in a personal situation similar to yours. I have found that it doesn't have to be your problem, in fact most don't have any issue with it and its no problem at all. And I...

  19. My most important tip for a nursing student is....

    giveface replied to 1234student's topic in General Students

    I would say learn about the profession before hand, its often more than meets the eye. Second, realize that it won't be an easy journey, tons of hard work and politics. Third, it is not like other...
