  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. Anyone here had any trouble finding a job after graduating from Chamberlain?

    Kuniklo posted a topic in General Nursing

    Hi everyone! I'm a long time lurker, first time poster! Anyway, I'm from St. Louis, and I just got waitlisted for UMSL's clinical BSN program. I'm looking at applying at Chamberlain since I have a...

  3. 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

  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. 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...

  6. 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...

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. 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,...

  10. 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...

  11. 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

  12. 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

  13. 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...

  14. 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...

  15. 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...

  16. 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...

  17. Sometimes it's hard to tell a drug seeker from a patient in pain.

    Kuniklo replied to tiroka03's topic in General Nursing

    Everyone deals with pain in their own way. Someone could report their pain as an 8/10 but be joking around b/c it distracts them from how much it hurts. I know someone who has an autoimmune disease...

  18. Work in Alaska?

    Kuniklo replied to thatchergirl's topic in General Nursing

    Even if they do, cost of living in Alaska is crazy

  19. Can you throw out some career options for the fields i am interested in?

    Kuniklo replied to confused256's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Grad student positions don't just fall out of the sky. And getting into a doctorate program isn't easy. There's a lot of competition, especially now since many jobless students are going back to grad...

  20. Can you throw out some career options for the fields i am interested in?

    Kuniklo replied to confused256's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Good luck finding work with a pysch major. I have some friends with that degree and they're bagging groceries or working at the mall, living hand to mouth trying to pay off loans. Going to grad school...

  21. I failed twice and I have one more chance

    Kuniklo replied to sherryfazal's topic in General Students

    I would stop making flashcards. If they're not working for you, don't waste time on them. What REALLY helps me out is online stuff. Many textbooks come with a code that gives you online access to...

  22. What do you think about a student missing clinical?

    Kuniklo replied to starrys's topic in General Students

    My clinical instructor told us on day 1 that if you're sick to stay home. Some patients may be immunocompromised and something as minor as the cold or the flu could throw them off. I feel bad for you...

  23. Things you would love to say to your fellow nursing students!

    Kuniklo replied to Faeriewand's topic in General Students

    Shut the hell up back there, back row people. The classroom and labs are not the place to be canoodling with one of the five male students. People are talking about your trashy ass behind your

  24. How hard are the nursing programs at state schools?

    Kuniklo replied to nursegirl333's topic in General Students

    The material is not that difficult. What's hard is that it's a HUGE VOLUME of material that you have to learn in a short period of time. A lot of it is content that you are expected to teach yourself...

  25. My worst fear come true.

    Kuniklo replied to decembergrad2011's topic in General Students

    I'm so sorry. Bad things happen all the time to good people, and all you can do is learn from it and try, try again. I'm glad you're not giving up and dropping out. I've failed at things too....
