  1. Does anyone enjoy Nursing School?

    Crazed replied to Mommy_RN1211's topic in General Students

    I have loved about 99% of the patients I've had. Not working for the facility has allowed me to interact with patients on a different level and they are more forgiving because I am a student. Some of...

  2. Out of my scope

    Crazed posted a topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I am currently working as an aide while I am in nursing school. My patient is younger and currently his family is providing for all of his needs. While my patient at times can be difficult he's not...

  3. Out of my scope

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    They were very strange questions about my

  4. Out of my scope

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    No if they were medical questions I wouldn't mind. They are personal and a little off kilter. Sorry for the vague response just trying not to be too exact for obvious

  5. problem during clinical

    Crazed replied to inutero161's topic in General Students

    Not attacking you but didn't you go over meds in your first semester? We have to look up everything our pt is on and that we might give during our

  6. Papers

    Crazed replied to Happy_RN123's topic in General Students

    As I know several English professors I can tell you that if you do not have a good relationship with them they will direct you to other resources. I suggest seeing if your school has an English tutor...

  7. Clinical instructor...not getting along

    Crazed replied to Band's topic in General Students

    I feel for you. There is a person in my group that is so flustered even the facility clergy commented to me about it. I tried to give this person the benefit of trust and tried to allow them to do...

  8. I got removed from my clinical practice

    Crazed replied to danny411's topic in General Students

    You absolutely cannot bad mouth a facility or staff. Any student who causes waves at a facility is a risk to the program period. If you feel like you weren't given enough to do then you make yourself...

  9. Jealous much?

    Crazed replied to jakefromstatefarm's topic in General Students

    I always say, "elevendybillion, I know I was surprised also. I won all the points for nursing." I was just talking to a friend today about how everyone in her class was being rude to her because she...

  10. Higher Learning is very hard to understand

    Crazed replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in General Students

    The reason why I was confused as it is not like this in every state. We don't have diploma nurses and our associate credits transfer 100% to BSN schools in the state. The only thing I'll be missing...

  11. Higher Learning is very hard to understand

    Crazed replied to NurseGuyBri's topic in General Students

    I understand higher learning just fine, the OP - not so much. I'm sure this is just me being slow but more detail is needed

  12. A lamb in a den of wolves!

    Crazed replied to Jinx322's topic in General Students

    I had a very prickly primary once. I sent her a thank you card. She was the most organized and on task person I had ever seen. I don't want or need for them to hold my hand, or tell me their life...

  13. Repeating a Semester

    Crazed posted a topic in General Students

    So I am repeating a semester. The issue wasn't my grades, and it's sort of a complex and complicated story and given that it is unique I don't want to run the risk of further action by my program but...

  14. 2nd week and cliques already?

    Crazed replied to Scorpio8932's topic in LPN, LVN Students

    You should try to get along, but not fit in. Here's the reason why - I think that the most important skill in nursing is the ability to communicate with just about anyone. For me I become disheartened...

  15. Repeating a Semester

    Crazed replied to Crazed's topic in General Students

    Thanks. I think because I have such a good relationship with the faculty that they might think there is some favoritism but if they knew why I was there exactly then it might be more apparent there...

  16. Nursing Student needing ADVICE!

    Crazed replied to sarahsather's topic in General Students

    Swimmers ear. Also I think you need to evaluate your own level of personal responsibility. I am not trying to be mean but as a nontraditional student who lives in a home where I will be interrupted...

  17. Now what? Divorce after starting school.

    Crazed replied to lollylee1969's topic in General Students

    There is no such thing as a 2-year RN program as with pre-reqs they are usually four years. In any case stay where you are. Working and going to nursing school is difficult so if you can get into a...

  18. Feeling really down in the dumps and friend-less in nursing school...advice needed

    Crazed replied to willow298's topic in General Students

    I do not consider myself a friend to anyone in school however I am friendly to everyone. I look at nursing school as my job so none of them are on my facebook page. They assume I make fantastic...

  19. Students, do any of you not want a hospital job after graduation?

    Crazed replied to Skips's topic in General Students

    With the market being the way it is now I will nurse under a bridge if I could count on steady hours and a paycheck. Picky I am not at the start of a second

  20. Cheating in the Classroom

    Crazed replied to meatballgirl's topic in General Students

    All of our tests go to the printer on campus. If you follow the test from inception to how it lands in front of you there is usually a link somewhere in the chain. Things like this is why I tell...

  21. What is the one thing that turns your stomach?

    Crazed replied to FDW630's topic in General Students

    Biliary

  22. If you could pick your ideal job in nursing, what would it be?

    Crazed replied to madwife2002's topic in General Nursing

    Which nursing job gives me the winning powerball ticket? That's the one I

  23. New Grad Quitting After Less Than a Year (advice!)

    Crazed replied to IcySageNurse's topic in First Year After Licensure

    I have a family and I can say that this is hard but doable. The fact of the matter is this economy is forcing us all to make some difficult choices. He should think about this in the long term - stay...

  24. Representing yourself to the public as a nurse when you are not a nurse

    Crazed replied to Penguin67's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    Whoa remind me not to misspeak around any of you guys. I'm sure this was simply a case of the tech trying to stop the line of questioning. The term nurse is universal. How many times have we said, "Oh...

  25. Perspective and sympathy

    Crazed replied to KelRN215's topic in Pediatric

    My teen some months actually does feel like she's dying. We've been trying to find the right pill for her but each menstrual cycle brings debilitating cramping, vomiting, migraines, depression and...
