  1. do your teachers make u sign in for class?

    ComeClarity replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

  2. Been asked to help in an emergency because you are a nursing student?

    ComeClarity replied to all4ofus's topic in General Students

    You did fine. Honestly, what else could you have done for him? Being a recent LPN graduate I worry about the same thing too. I still work at a retail store (haven't taken my NCLEX yet) and about 6...

  3. Nursing..a middle age career?

    ComeClarity replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I think it's because us under-30-somethings are thought to have been coddled moreso than previous generations. While I will say I was somewhat spoiled growing up and never really wanted for anything,...

  4. Irritating Classmates

    ComeClarity replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Spare us. People have the right to vent; that's what this forum is

  5. Graduating LPN school on 1/24!!

    ComeClarity replied to ComeClarity's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Thanks everyone! Still haven't registered to take my NCLEX-PN - been studying almost every day since I graduated. I'm pretty nervous about it but I'm just trying to go over the stuff I was weak on in...

  6. Irritating Classmates

    ComeClarity replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    Yeah.. I'm not one to brag, but I initially indulged classmates who would ask what grade I got on a test. Of course, then I'd get snotty looks. I eventually just started telling them that I "did well"...

  7. I just lost my brother, hoping to get some feedback

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

    Mi Vida Loca, I'm so sorry about your brother. I lost my brother too at the age of 25, except it was from a car accident instead of a suicide, and I was only 11 at the time - although it did have a...

  8. Irritating Classmates

    ComeClarity replied to ImThatGuy's topic in General Students

    I noticed the cliquey-ness that developed during my year of LPN school. At first, everyone got along pretty well, but after a few months the class started fracturing out into different cliques. I'm...

  9. Nursing..a middle age career?

    ComeClarity replied to ThePrincessBride's topic in General Nursing

    I'm 24 and just graduated LPN school. The majority of my classmates were second career-ers, mostly over the age of 35. I think with the economy the way it is and people getting laid off, you're going...

  10. What is up with these Sickle Cell Patients?!

    ComeClarity replied to BrandNewbieNurse's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Anyone who has to live with severe, unrelenting pain their entire life is probably going to be a bit grouchy and bitter at times. I know how much of a baby I can be when I'm in pain (and thankfully,...

  11. do you always monitor BP b/f giving HTN medications

    ComeClarity replied to nursegreenbean's topic in General Nursing

    Good question, OP. I just finished my final LPN clinical rotation in a nursing home and I noticed that some of the residents receive anti-hypertensives but don't get BP checks q shift/qd, and others...

  12. This is why you should be careful what you post on facebook

    ComeClarity replied to semester1kid's topic in General Students

    My classmates and I have posted pics of us at school in the skills lab (while performing skills on dummies.. no real human organs.. lol) or OUTSIDE of our clinical sites in the parking lot. There's...

  13. 1st clinical ... nervous .. any advice?

    ComeClarity replied to jxoxo's topic in General Students

    Being nervous is normal.. I'm in my final clinical rotation of LPN school and I remember being scared to death on the first day of our CNA clinicals. My best advice is to just jump in feet first and...

  14. Graduating LPN school in a month..

    ComeClarity posted a topic in General Students

    I guess this should be in the LPN Student forum, but the General Nursing Student Discussions sub-forum seems to be more active. I graduate LPN school in a little over a month, and I'm not sure I feel...

  15. Tips for changing adult briefs?

    ComeClarity posted a topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Hello all. I'm actually an LPN student with 0 CNA experience. I'm in my med-surg clinicals right now, but we still have to do bedbaths, brief changes, linen changes, toileting + dressings, catheter...

  16. why nurses cannot have a nail polish..?

    ComeClarity replied to ar.en.greta's topic in Patient Safety Issues

    I've noticed, during one of my clinical rotations, the RNs and techs at a local women/baby hospital wearing funky colored nail polish and their hair down. However, this hospital is more like a hotel,...

  17. Any of you make excellent grades but suck at skills?

    ComeClarity replied to aem31's topic in General Students

    I've noticed there is a HUGE difference in the way our instructors want us to perform skills for check-offs and how they're actually done out in the real world. Usually I will fumble the first time I...

  18. Will this clueless nursing student feeling ever go away?

    ComeClarity replied to ComeClarity's topic in General Nursing

    Thanks for all the replies guys. I definitely feel better now after reading your responses.. it's good to know that this feeling isn't that uncommon amongst students and new

  19. Will this clueless nursing student feeling ever go away?

    ComeClarity posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hello all. I am in a year-long LPN program, graduating in January. I'm feeling kind of down because I still feel like I am severely lacking in my clinical skills with only 7 more actual weeks of...

  20. Will this clueless nursing student feeling ever go away?

    ComeClarity replied to ComeClarity's topic in General Nursing

    Thank you Cabanaboy. I've asked my classmates if they feel the same way I do and they've said yes. I just hoped this awkward, clueless student nurse feeling would be gone by now. I don't like it at...

  21. Graduating today

    ComeClarity replied to Carla80's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    Congratulations!!!!! I'll be where you are in 4

  22. Tips for changing adult briefs?

    ComeClarity replied to ComeClarity's topic in Medical Assistant, CNA/MA

    Thank you! It sounds so easy when you type out how to do it but actually doing it is a different story! The lady who thought her brief was up too high actually asked me if I worked as a CNA before...
