vt or vt "shock, shock, shock, every body shock shock shock and lets make patients better"...............!

hey kayla, im a qcc nursing student, i'll be graduating this fall of 2004!! very excited by the way!! for starters you shouldn't be discouraged, if nursing is what you want don't give up!! qcc is a great school:d . i absolutely love it. i have had a great experience there and the prof. are outstanding brilliant women. if you do decide to go to qcc im sure you will love it as well. but from what i understand there's a waiting list to get in, but please don't quote me on that. go to the qcc nursing website and get all the info and call up the nursing dept. and get all the info you need....... lots of luck

hey lisa, what a great question!! i will be graduating in the fall of 2004, and i have never felt so proud of myself for such a great accomplishment!! am i in this for the money?? not in a million years!! for starters nurses are under paid if you ask me, not to mention we do alot more than the average doctor these days. i do understand where you're coming from, becuase in school alot of girls talk about the same thing, about how they can't wait to get paid, and i have also heard (mind boggling by the way) the reason for going into this field is 5% caring and 95% for the money. my reply to those dummies is why don't they go hang from a pole and dance around they'll get much more money than the average paid nurse and you don't even have to think!!! unfortunately you can't change how some people think, but hopefully someone will touch their heart during the cours of their career and they'll have a change of heart!! after all they'll be a pt. one day!! my prof. a brilliant woman said to me one day "the ability to become a great nurse is a gift from god, he either gives you the gift or he doesn't"....... we have all seen those nurses who have the gift and those who do not.............. i believe i was given that gift and will share it always with my patients.......lovelee

hello brand new LPN, my name is lovelee and i was reading what you posted and i couldn't help but to instantly reply! i am a student nurse graduating in the fall of 2004. the questioned you asked was, "would you say something"?????????? my answer is no!! i understand that the nurse is taking medication from the patient that does not belong to her, and im sure she is aware of it. perhaps she will replace it sometime in the near future or not. remember nursing is about team work. the best care you'll ever give or get will be from a staff that holds together. you're right when you said it is not a narcotic!! nor is the pt. going to suffer from a few caps missing, nor will it cause health problems or addictions to the nurse who took it. a season nurse may chuckle at your ethical concern because one day you'll reach out and grab a couple of tylenol's during a splitting headache episode and not think twice about it. i do understand your concern because as a student you're tought the right way to do it all, and not to base your practice on someone else's ways. so in closing, my advise to you is to remind yourself how important team work is, never base your practice on someone elses practice, use your spiritual judgement on whats minor and major!!! good luck in school
