  3. Dr. ripped my co-worker a new one for no reason

    Although I do not believe the Dr. should have yelled at the RN, I agree this is not a reason to have him paged. HOWEVER...this person is only a student, and good thing. This is a good thing to learn...
  4. Male Nursing Students

    I wouldn't put my hand in the sharps container for any reason!! As for unused meds, I would rather have another nurse, or two, watch me get rid of it down the sink. Then, I would want their...
  10. Labor, birth and spectators

    I would flat out say NO! about his mom, if that is how you feel. She wasn't watching you have sex, so why should she watch you have the baby? I know this is a terrible analogy, but there are some...
  11. I was punched

    I wouldn't have even thought twice before I decided to press charges. I'm glad you did go through with it, and I think you should see it out to the end. This time a face punch over narcotics, next...
  12. BSN requirement for all RNs

    I think I have already replied to this post, but after reading some of the newer posts.....here I am again. I really think it's sad to think that someone actually thinks that having two semesters of...

  18. How *much* bodily fluids???

    After working as a Medical Assistant, I know that all bodily fluids are just a part of the job. It's always worse because "it's someone elses", but I know you get use to it...as much as you actually...
  19. Why do you like med-surg?

  20. Any "C" student graduates???

    Thanks for asking such a great question. I am worried about this as well, if I ever can get into Nursing School. I am pretty much a B student, but worried how it will be with taking so many classes...

    A nice pant suit is ok for an interview as a school nurse. Admin/Teachers/staff are usually allowed to wear slacks. Therefore, a skirt or slacks would be appropriate. Just wear whichever you would...
