  1. NOT going to the pinning ceremony

    I should be crazy to miss my pinning
  2. We had an evil clinical instructor too, who would love to pull students' legs and make them fail out of the school. She finally started trying to get the instructors in trouble! can you believe this?!...
  3. Will a Doctor help ya out??

    Depends on person, not
  4. I start my last semester of nursing school next week. And I am dreading only this semester because of a particular reason. Anyway. Nursing school is hard and stressful, but this shall pass. My advice...
  5. Practicing NG tube insertion?

    No we didn't, I have never heard of this. I don't understand how they threw up during insertion. I don't think that's true. it doesn't make sense to me to throw up just because you're swallowing a...
  6. Question to the OP, Did you learn these skills at school first? And had check offs? What is your reason for asking how much NS to use, and what to flush with? Did they not tell you the answers at...
  7. Sorry to say this, but I agree with your clinical instructor. If you've learned these skills at any semester until your clinical day, then yes you should know the steps already, without asking...
  8. May 2011 graduates..nervous for last semester?

    I am also graduating in May 2011 and am nervous at times. Yes, I learned so much, but I feel like I don't know anything, for some reason. lol. I will have to look up a lot of stuff on the floor. And...
  9. I smell jealousy here. "They want to be nurses because of pay rates! oh, there is already a waitlist in schools, don't come here in this field!" blah blah blah... Some people will need to worry about...
  10. No. I am graduating from nsg school-RN program in 5 months. I am not studying to be a LVN, but RN. I wouldn't think of working as a LVN after passing NCLEX-RN and earning that
  11. I haven't seen it either, and from your post, I don't understand why it is annoying. "You're a nurse you make a difference." So? what does it have to do with waiting lists and nursing shortage, etc?...
  12. A nurse that needs agnger management

    If she's worked with people before, at least as a CNA and could handle it, then I think she could handle nursing too. I worked as a nurse aide before, and that was a good indicator, I
  13. Losing your perfect pre-nursing job

    I don't quite understand what you mean by your knowledge and talent are wasted. I don't know what your title is at the nursing home. Nurse aide? There are of course different scope of practice for...
  14. I think you took it too personally. The Dr might have asked it for many reasons considering variety of nurses and issues he's worked
  15. Medical students don't have time/chance to get on net and declare how hard it is.
  16. Not wanting to work at hospital?

    It is not the same for the new
  17. Aides being "nurses"

    I'm feeling your hospital is soon to be sued. If that's really what happens there and nothing is done about it, you all are going to get in trouble. I don't understand why you see all that and only...
  18. Not wanting to work at hospital?

    I want to work at hospital, because it gives me a better chance for keeping my skills strong, learning variety of diagnosis, people, skills, time management, prioritization and pretty much everything...
  19. It gets harder and harder (in my school at least) I think. I jut finished my 3rd semester and it was the hardest semester to me, so far. And first semester was the easiest compared to second and...
  20. Ashamed of nursing school

    I sure run into people like that, and it gets on my nerves at the moment. Then I don't care about it. You seem to be obsessed about these thoughts. No offense, but saying you are an education major...
  21. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    this is just funny. how in the world do you know what rn students are learning and not learning? or if they don't know what they're doing? do you think these students just hang out at school for 3+...
  22. Why is it so bad to be an LPN ????

    I have read all the posts on this thread. Somebody made the best sentence that I want to reinforce "LPN's don't know what they don't know." period. At least a lot of them. It is not only doing...
  23. I agree. If a person says "I am a nsg student" to me even though they aren't, I will ask "which semester?". And when they say "oh, I am not in yet, but I will apply" type thing, then I will say "then...
  24. By the way, I myself said "pre-nursing" student too here. But where did I get this label, really? I have never used that in my life. When I was talking about my school before I was in Nursing school,...
  25. You may be going for nursing and be taking pre-nursing classes currently. Now, that's different than being a nursing student. I am a third semester nursing student, and I know exactly how hard it was...
