   MissJulie replied to Nolander's topic in General Students

   I take my nursing fundamentals final tomorrow (wish me luck) and during our clinicals, we did vital signs, physical assessments, bed baths, clothing and bed linen changes, med passes, catheters, d/c...

2. Can a Nursing student cover an MA?

   MissJulie replied to grownuprosie's topic in General Students

   That is basically what I do, without the phlebotomy (we have an in-house tech that does all of the draws). I started out in reception, then moved to billing (in the beginning, the office wasn't taking...

3. Why hire RN's when other disciplines can do the job

   MissJulie replied to Marisette's topic in General Nursing

   The problem is that nurses have lost a lot of their/our skills. Someone actually asked me if a nurse was allowed to do an ABG because they're not respiratory! Of course, I've also had people ask me if...

4. How would you respond to this??

   MissJulie replied to nurse678's topic in General Nursing

   Granted, this is coming from a student, but from my current view point, working with one patient at a time kills me, but when you consider that nurses have 5+ patients each, for 12 hr shifts, the...

5. so I found out...

   MissJulie replied to mommywithplenty's topic in General Students

   I say let it go! Think of it this way, since you were discussing something with the instructor, and I'm assuming that you were holding your own in the discussion, it's possible that he was jealous...

6. So besides nursing school, what do you all do in your spare time?

   MissJulie replied to i<3u's topic in General Students

   Between school and work, I have no free time! I do manage to find time to keep teaching Sunday School, though, because the time studying the Bible and preparing the lesson helps to keep me centered :)...

   Nonparenteral is oral meds (pills, capsules, syrups, etc.), topical meds (ointments, patches like nitro), suppositories (lady partsl and rectal), etc. Pareneteral is anything injected into the body:...

8. No soap?

   MissJulie replied to autumn_october's topic in General Nursing

   Never heard of that... The LTC I was at for clinicals this semester had a "shower room" supply that consisted of body wash/soap for residents as well as shampoo and lotions, etc. Most of the...

9. What does he do?

   MissJulie replied to us2uk4u's topic in General Nursing

   I'm not a nurse, yet, but relying on the state to remind you of when your nursing license expires would be like the state reminding you to renew your drivers license, wouldn't it? It seems to me that...

10. Who actually ENJOYS clinical?

    MissJulie replied to foreverLaur's topic in General Students

    I'm glad you had such a great day at clinical! I love clinical myself, just not my instructor But, we're changing instructors next week, and I'm going from LTC to acute on a med/surg floor. Even...

11. im injection

    MissJulie replied to peaceful nurse's topic in Patient Medications

    I am currently a student in an ADN program, and was taught to aspirate on every IM injection. If I remember correctly, the reason that the instructors gave was because of the possibility of...

12. Do I hate nursing school or just MY nursing school?

    MissJulie replied to luamoon66's topic in General Students

    So, I don't get along with my clinical instructor either, in fact, I don't think she likes me at all... But, the rest of the program is great. We have great lecture instructors, and our lab...

13. nursing student life

    MissJulie replied to Kathy_Chou's topic in General Students

    That's what I was thinking! My life is pretty simple right now: class, work, study, sleep (about 4 hr); in that order, and sometimes I might actually get to eat a little

14. So, My Clinical Instructor Hates Me...

    MissJulie replied to MissJulie's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the replies... It's not that I truly care if she likes me or not, just that she grades me based on my work and not any feelings she may, or may not, have toward me. Granted, she could have...

    MissJulie posted a topic in General Students

    I'm finishing up the first half of my first semester of an ADN program... I'm doing great in class (B+ average), lab is awesome, I get along with most of my instructors and classmates, but my clinical...
