  1. Turning a hospice patient in severe pain?

    LCinTraining replied to IheartICUnursing's topic in Hospice, Palliative

    I do agree that you did the right thing. I also get conflicted after having been through the Hospice situation with my father in law. His tumor was in his hip, pressing onto his groin. Movement...

  2. First quiz

    LCinTraining posted a topic in General Students

    8/10. This apparently equates to a C. Would have been nice to know the grading rubric before this. I am normally not one to beat myself up over missing two total answers but the fact that this is a C...

  3. First quiz

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    One of my toughest professors (inorganic chem) made me cry often. However, she never once degraded me. It was my perfectionism and struggle with the math concepts that did me in. Then the day she...

  4. First quiz

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    80% is bad for me, so I may be a little edgy about this. Apologies for the freak out. I do not intend to repeat it, and if I don't hop off here, and finish my homework, I may end up doing that LOL....

  5. Total Disregard for Visiting Hours

    LCinTraining replied to DYLANB's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    If the families are quiet, I don't care. Sometimes the family being there is the difference between the patient not being on their call bell every five minutes. I'm at a Rehab hospital, and many...

  6. First quiz

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Oh trust me, it came across harsh as did your rebuttal. I was able to ignore the first one, but your second statement, I feel, needs addressed. Again, it wasn't 51%, nor 75%. It was an 80% which...

  7. First quiz

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    I was able to view my quiz today. The questions I suspected were wrong were actually the ones I got wrong, but not for the reasons I thought. Not evidence that I didn't study enough, however,...

  8. Overweight issues; uncomfortable with being practiced on by another student

    LCinTraining replied to molybdenum's topic in General Students

    Not overweight, but just had female surgery that has me needing lots of um...protection down below. I'm very self conscious about it so practicing finding pulses I sort of shied away from being...

  9. Do you guys have to do return demonstrations?

    LCinTraining replied to MilliePieRN's topic in General Students

    They walk us through some return demos, others no. Sub Q injections we were walked through. Standard precautions we were solo and almost everyone had to repeat. Vital signs, med pass, bathing, hand...

  10. They make nursing school much harder than it needs to be

    LCinTraining replied to Anoetos's topic in General Students

    My school is one of the most respected schools in our region, however the organization has sent me spiraling into anxiety attacks. My sons psychiatrist got started as an RN before eventually going to...

  11. Lost it today

    LCinTraining replied to StudentOfHealing's topic in General Students

    Give yourself a day to cool off and hopefully feel better, then go explain yourself to your prof. Worst case they say no and you chock it up to a loss, best case they take pity on you and let you...

  12. Opinions about Tympanic Thermometers

    LCinTraining replied to Kristy02_RN's topic in General Nursing

    If they lay on that ear it will be much higher than body temp. If they have a fan blowing on that ear much lower. I do not trust timpanics at

  13. Exhaustion bloopers

    LCinTraining replied to K+MgSO4's topic in General Nursing

    I Was talking to the doctor asking for clarification regarding SCDs and multi podia boots. His response was "yes, she has STDs" and after an overnight shift, the inner 12 year old came out and I...

  14. First quiz

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    Knowing would not have made any difference, you are correct. It just wouldn't have been such a mental blow. I'm curious to get the actual quiz back to see which ones I did

  15. First quiz

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in General Students

    You're probably right about it being somewhere. I think I'm more angry with myself than anything. I normally ace quizzes and I thought I knew the material. Watch it be something stupid like reading...

  16. How to prepare for precepting on night shifts

    LCinTraining replied to kateliza's topic in General Students

    Coffee makes me sick too. I work nights 7p-7a all weekend. I attend class 7/8-13:00 during the week. It's a killer, but my poison of choice is hot tea or dr. Pepper. Good

  17. Blood Sugars?

    LCinTraining replied to melissadavon's topic in General Students

    I can understand the sentiment. However, I also think you have a lot to teach. Many don't understand the difference between type one and type two. I hardly think you are an enigma in your class....

  18. Good day...bad day

    LCinTraining replied to ♑ Capricorn ♑'s topic in General Students

    Dosage calc is overwhelming me tonight, so I keep procrastinating. WHich is bad, because I have a test on it tomorrow.

  19. benadryl inj, in anaphylaptic shock?

    LCinTraining replied to 7feetunder's topic in Emergency

    I do not carry injectable benadryl, but know I was given it after my c- section. We use benadryl for my son's allergies, and his care program indicates even with severe reactions, if he is able to...

  20. Blood Sugars?

    LCinTraining replied to melissadavon's topic in General Students

    I don't understand this reluctance. You will be learning at the expense of other students, why can they not learn at your expense? You are here to learn. You will practice things on other students...

  21. Diagnosis Maps, Procedural Maps

    LCinTraining posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Has anyone had to do these? We have to come up with 3 per clinical day. I thought I wrote down what needed to be included, but looking back over my notes, I guess I didn't. I'm off to at least...

  22. Diagnosis Maps, Procedural Maps

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks. Taking a break to bring my little guy to the doctor. Working in C-diff. Packing the med surge book for the waiting

  23. Diagnosis Maps, Procedural Maps

    LCinTraining replied to LCinTraining's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Found it! It's amazing what a lot of digging through all this material will produce. It's never where I THINK it should be found though. Haha. Patho Symptoms Causes Dx Texts Medical Treatments...

  24. Surviving Nursing School and Marriage

    LCinTraining replied to bear14's topic in General Students

    My husband has been excellent thus far, which is a huge change from any other time I've attempted school. The only down side is there are new state regulations required for his job which means...

  25. What is it with nurses and cell phones? Just a vent.

    LCinTraining replied to fakebee's topic in Nursing Professionalism

    And you are again wrong. . Computers come with auto correct as well. I may not always spell check a forum post. I'm not at work, and so I am not as meticulous in my leisure writing. So forgive me if...
