1. Freaking out about my PPD!

   Kuniklo posted a topic in General Nursing

   I've never had a reaction to one before! It's been 24 hr and I have a raised, red lump. If I hold it up to the light I can see the borders the size of a quarter. It's not blistery-looking or a...

2. Hesi vs ATI

   Kuniklo replied to Stoogesfan's topic in General Nursing

   They're the same things. Our school was using ATI last year but their servers kept crashing during finals, so now we've switched to HESI. I like the way the HESI website is organized

3. How should I prepare for OB and Peds next semester?

   Kuniklo replied to Kuniklo's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   Thank you! 3rd semester is bad because there is just way too much stuff crammed into it. That's why at my school 4 yr BSN program just became 4.5 yr. They had to stretch it out another semester...

4. How should I prepare for OB and Peds next semester?

   Kuniklo posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

   3rd semester is supposed to be the worst. Everyone I've talked to who is a year ahead has told me about how they stopped caring about their GPA because A students start getting C's and D's... I'm an A...

5. Hospital Won't Hire Obese Workers

   Kuniklo replied to chevyv's topic in General Nursing

   This is absolutely ludicrous. What about nurses who are obese because of medication or medical conditions? Are you supposed to let your employer see your records to prove that? I'm not obese but one...

6. Peds is NOT easy!

   Kuniklo replied to Double-Helix's topic in Pediatric

   Let's not forget having to deal with child abuse cases or shaken babies. I would get so depressed. Pedi nurses must be tough as old

7. I'm sorry sir, I cannot call the neurosurgeon at 3AM for that...

   Kuniklo replied to EJBNeuroRN's topic in General Nursing

   Call the doc and maybe next time he'll pay attention to standing

8. Rewards of Emergency Nursing

   Kuniklo replied to mid1for5's topic in Emergency

   One of my instructors said that he liked the ER because no matter what happens, you won't have to deal for long because there are only 3 places where the pt will go: out the door, upstairs to a floor,...

9. Do you ever have doubts?

   Kuniklo replied to Jack245's topic in General Students

   I am in school and having doubts too. I love the things that I do at clinicals and talking to pts, but I've come to realize that this isn't a very "intellectual" field. Sometimes it doesn't feel like...

10. How to stay healthy on nights? I don't want to pack on the pounds.

    Kuniklo replied to Newgrad_STAT's topic in General Nursing

    I'm no dietician, but I get through long stretches by loading up on complex carbs, yogurt, and eggs. When I stick to it, I don't crash. Fruit and yogurt for snacks helps

11. CNAs deserve more appreciation in nursing!

    Kuniklo replied to downsouthlaff's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    This whole thread reminds me of Dwight Schrute... Assistant manager vs assistant to the manager

12. Should I wear makeup to my psych clinicals if I'll be around sex offenders?

    Kuniklo replied to Kuniklo's topic in General Students

    Thank you for everyone's comments. I realize now that it's not about sexual attraction but rather about power over an individual. This psych clinical will definitely a test of my ability to set...

13. Should I wear makeup to my psych clinicals if I'll be around sex offenders?

    Kuniklo replied to Kuniklo's topic in General Students

    The problem is that I am Asian, so even a tiny bit of eyeliner makes me look "exotic." I just don't want my race to trigger any creep-show behavior. Unfortunately, some people stereotype Asian women...

14. Should I wear makeup to my psych clinicals if I'll be around sex offenders?

    Kuniklo posted a topic in General Students

    I'm about to begin my clinical rotation at a state-run mental health hospital. Some of the patients on the ward that I will be going to are sex offenders. These are people who are here because the...

15. Grade Inflation in Nursing School

    Kuniklo replied to Rhapsody86's topic in General Students

    Many professors use the same exams year after year, so usually the question that everyone gets wrong are the ones with content that weren't discussed in class, weren't on study guides/slides, or were...
