I took the pharmacology ATI test for practical nursing and I was excited that I passed... well I passed with an 81% we only had to have a 40% to pass. I was talking to my friend and a fellow student came to stand with us, so my friend asked how he sc...

I wanted to thank the people that replied to my thread... I realize that he was just trying to get at me, but I guess I'm what you would call sensitive. That can both help me and hurt me in the job I chose to train for. I think I did the right thing ...

I'm so sick of the practical nursing school that I am in. The teachers are the most disorganized people I have ever met. The pharm teacher/ IV therapy teacher is a head trauma victim... and she's so scatter brained that she forgets what she's talking...

I'm a nursing student, and today we were practicing changing wet-to- dry dressings and we were told that the only dressings that could "red bagged" were ones that were dripping wet with blood or flaking..... I for one think that is a biohazard and to...

it was the nursing school they said that, that is how the facilities want it done, because it saves money.

I live in Anderson, Indiana

I will never prechart... because I know it's wrong (thanks to my great instructors) I now realize how precharting could be a very bad thing. I sure would hate to have to up in front of the BON

We went over the whole "don't chart it before you do it" in school during the first few weeks, but my question is how did the state find out that it was "precharted" ? If the nurses did the duty at the time they signed on the chart and it was done an...

I'm in practical nursing school right now, and I took phlebotomy over a 16 week course. I really enjoyed it. I think it's a good course to take. They do however train you to draw blood at some of the blood banks... (at least they do in Indiana) so if...

I'm attending practical nursing at the Anderson campus. I didn't need an interview. I can't believe they are going somewhat on age... that's awful. That's age discrimination pure and simle.Your science courses are going to time out? How long have you...

I'm currently attending Ivy Tech's Practical nursing program, to my understanding all you need to do is do well on the PSB test. If you don't do well the first time you may retake it . To take the ASN program you do have to both do well in your class...

I'm currently in Practical Nursing school... we visited Richmond State Hospital today I loved it. My classmates think I'm nuts... but I really see my self working at the RSH. I enjoyed interacting with the patients. I was wondering what are the "ups ...

I've not been in nursing school too long... but the pts that really tug on my heart strings are the mentally handicapped. It's so cute how they vie (sp?) for attention. I just want to hug them all and make them feel wanted and needed.

My daughter had to go to the ER she had a plastic eyeball stuck in her nose. I can't wait till I'm done with PN school.... I want stories to tell...lol

A police officer pulls a guy over for speeding and has the following exchange: Officer: May I see your driver's license? Driver: I don't have one. I had it suspended when I got my 5th DUI. Officer: May I see the owner's card for this vehicle? Driv...

Sunday School Little Mary was not the best student in Sunday School. Usually she slept through the class. One day the teacher called on her while she was napping, ''Tell me, Mary, who created the universe?'' When Mary didn't stir, little John...

I was appauled when I read this thread. It's so sad. The baby wasn't 8 months she was 5 months old. I read her story and it broke my heart. I can't understand why this is allowed to continue. Why don't they make it publicly know that it is a myth tha...

This thread may have been a semi waste of time, but I really enjoy reading it. :rotfl:

"I see so much chatroomease that it makes me sick to read some of the postings in here. " Um yeah you did say something about the postings....hmmm I hate to be rude but did you forget?

Hi, I'm still relatively new to this site, and I was reading this thread; I found it most interesting. I find it childish to "nit pick" about the boards' spelling and grammar. It's not as if this site is a place to show off your professionalism. It i...

I've heard that a little mint essence under the nose works wonders for nasty smells. Pts would think you were chewing gum.

My mother was on Lantus, and hers was prescribed to be given at bedtime. The reason it is usually given at bedtime is because that's when blood glucose levels should be at their highest. I'd call that particular medical group and ask why they sugges...
