A nursing instructor told me that when a people are stressed, they smoke. Right now, I am smoking because the stress of exams and passing school. Maybe, it is not worth it going through nursing school like this and being stressed. Anyone have any i...

In the Fall 2004 semester, I failed my hospital clinical site and recieved a failing grade. I was in the first semester. In the Spring 2005 semester, I went to a new nursing school hoping for a fresh start. In the past 2 weeks I did extremly well in ...

It felt very bad when an instructor passed me up from a check off because I did not perform a skill right on the first attempt. :crying2: :crying2: Also, a different instructor told me today, that I am struggling. The funny thing about it, is that ...

I am a nursing student. What does this mean: "F rate to TKO" The F had a arrow pointing down plus I know that TKO means to keep open. Thank you

Thanks

I just found out today, that my school has a test every semester in dosage calculations. In order to stay in the program, a student needs to get 90% correct. There is only one try. Don't you think this is tuff? :crying2:

I live in Oakland, California all my life...Children's Hospital is one of the better hospitals in the area...As for Oakland, it is a city..In some parts the crime is very very high..In some areas it is not safe to walk in..It is like any other big c...

:crying2: Yesterday, I asked a classmate to help me out during our clinicals. I needed help turning a patient because he could not move at all in bed. Then the next thing I know, my classmate turned me in saying to the instructor that I did not know ...

No, you did not read my other post..Three of my classmates were in the room, me, another classmate and the girl who told on me. Me and the other nursing student faced the wound and saw everything..There was a patch on the wound and we both did not t...

:crying2: You see I was right, the people who posted negative things about me, would probably do some evil things in real life....The world is very cold...This post reflects that and I should not trust my classmates...A lot of people told me to quit...

Thanks for the support...I think I should not post here anymore since everyone is against me. You see there was another classmate with me during the time I was turning the patient. He saw the exact wound with the patch on it and he did not think anyt...

I asked the instructor on what is the main reason about the probation. He told me that it was the report made by the other classmate. :crying2: :crying2: The patient with the wound was already there for two weeks in the hospital and I just seen him...

I am wondering how many of you were put on clinical probation for any type of reason and made it through? Or do you know someone that was put on probation. I am on it for 30 days. Another instructor is going to evaluate me to see if I improve. Is ...

Do you know what being on probation means? :crying2: It means doing everything perfect. I mean you have to be the best student, no errors at all... :crying2: :crying2: I am just a student...I do not know everything...I am at the clinicals to learn...

Right now, I DO NOT trust ANY of my classmates...They could look conservative or non conservative..I do NOT trust any of them..................It is a very COLD world................ :crying2: :crying2: :crying2: I told another classmate about my p...

:crying2: :crying2: I am not being judemental, but she has a big colorful tattoo on her back.....So maybe they are right..........I trusted her and she goes on trying to get me kicked out of school? She COULD have told me to tell the instructor ab...

Well, lets say that he gets the impression that I do not like him. He might be right. My train of thought is that, he is the instructor and I am there to get a grade and proceed on and liking him should not be an issue on who passes or not. The tat...

:crying2: There is more to the story. I was told in the morning the RNs with the licences would handle the dressing changes. When I turned the patient, there was a little blood on a patch where a wound was. The dressing changes suppose to be hand...

:crying2: It is too late, the department head was the instructor who put me on probation...Just last week, the same instructor told me that I was doing very well at the clinical site...Just to tell you, how a classmate can destroy someone...I thought...

I am in my first semester, if a gastro tube feeding is running at 55ml per hour, then in two hours, 110 ml would be in the input. This is a continuous feeding with no shut offs in the two hours. Is this correct?

I am a first semester nursing student. I having trouble with trying to figure out how to come up with a nursing diagnosis. Can you explain a simple procedure to learn how to do this. Thank you
