Are you hearing yourselves right now? You are going to stick up for an alcoholic just because she is an established RN. She could make a few med errors, drop a couple patients. Oh it's okay, she's a...

I also think that is very immature and foul. Would you want an alcoholic teaching you? Or working for your college? Or working with you?? And actually I found out from a reputable source. Like I...

If anyone believe that nursing care only applies to patients, I wouldn't like to know how they treat everyone else. That is the flaw in this field. We get so burnt out from caring for people all the...

I say PA because it is within the health care field, but it is not involved with direct patient care (e.g., wiping @$$ while raising beds). And I do have more than a half a brain somewhere. But now...

Thank you for being so frank. I am upset that I was let go after all the hard work and determination and care I've put into this. And I would love to blame it on everything else so that it doesn't...

My aunt is a military nurse, and I went to her for advice on what I should do. She had a similar experience in Nsg school with an Instructor who would embarrass her, blow off everything she said,...

I simply did not think before leaving the room. I simply did not think before answering the patients friend when he asked how he was doing because I figured that I wasn't giving medical information...

I take full responsibility for everything that has happened. I'm an awful student nurse for putting my patients lives in jeopardy. And I understand that the consequences were to leave nursing school....

I felt horrible about ever mistake I made and NEVER made them again. It was often a busy day and it is very easy to get caught up in the moment and "forget gloves" or forget to put the bed down. It...

I totally agree with you bruce. Anything could happen in a given day. You could die at any second especially in the hospital. As a student I tried my best to be aware of everything. And since I...

My choices were administrative failure, or withdrawal failure. I chose the latter and spoke with the head of nursing. I may or may not return to the profession, but I have a pretty bitter taste in my...

It has been something I have been interested in and passionate for for a while. I work as an LNA on a medsurg floor and I see these things being done all the time. I even found a used needle left in a...
I'm at a loss for words. Yesterday I left a patients bed up to go grab some wipes. My instructor walked in and saw that the bed was in the high position while I was gone. This was what got me kicked...
I'm officially a senior nursing student! I just finished my maternity, pediatric and geriatric rotations. My geriatric instructor was what everyone warns about with nursing instructors, we had to know...

I have... and I was devastated. It was my first semester. Never failing anything, I took it hard. I had a 3.4 GPA taking honors courses. But I am now in my second semester and getting B's on all the...
