The real answer was “if you can afford it, talk to a lawyer.” This was slander. Resulting in a serious blow to her employability. a lot of lawyers would probably say “you’re SOL.” But a few might say she has a case considering that she made her own ...
I for one am shocked but not surprised at the responses you’re getting from other nurses here. But it makes sense. Nurses tend to be less forgiving of students’ mishaps. The mistakes you made were fairly minor. Yes, you need to knock on patients’ do...

I'm about 18 months into PCU/med/tele nursing, and I still don't feel completely comfortable. Definitely more competent and knowledgeable than when I started, but I'm not a "grown up nurse" just yet My preceptor told me it probably won't be until 3 ...

I'm currently a new grad who got her first job at a regional hospital. I got two months of preceptorship and then I worked on the floor on my own. How was I consuming a year's worth of educational resources?

I really don't care how nurses choose to say it, as long as they give me the info. it seems pretty petty to laugh at "fluffy" or "for me." You're able to do your job, aren't you?

I'm not sure why people are outraged at the ideo of a student "volunteering their services." That's what I did in nursing school. Act as an extra pair of hands to my nurse mentor (taking vitals, answering call lights, changing diapers).

if you want to talk about oblivious nursing schools, honey, look no further than my alma mater. A big-name New York City nursing school. I graduated this past May, was license shortly thereafter, and it has taken me almost exactly a year to find a jo...
