    Ultrasound tech/nurse, can you have facial piercings/tattoos?

    Clovery replied to Ashley Davis's topic in General Students

    Your nursing school most likely will make you remove any piercings and cover up any tattoos. When you're working, it depends on facility policy. Some places do not allow any to show, while others may...

    Question about weird clinical hours

    Clovery replied to gc1010's topic in General Students

    We have to go to the hospital on Tuesdays to get info from the charts of our patients for clinical on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Our instructor isn't there and there are only certain hours the...

    On to OB......Now what?

    Clovery replied to 3boys_n_a_dog's topic in General Students

    Everyone was way nicer than I expected. I thought the pregnant women & new moms wouldn't want students around (understandably), but everyone was so friendly. I liked OB - it wasn't very stressful...

    OCD - test question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I won't know the answer until the 19th or 20th. We started spring break and my instructor isn't going to post the scores until after. Then I'll have to go to her office hours to look at my exam to...

    OCD - test question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I did choose C, with the same reasoning. I'm worried it could have been A (to decrease handwashing), especially since C is really poorly worded (yes, it said that exactly) "provide good skin care" is...

    Alcohol Detox Question

    Clovery posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    True or False: Antabuse and Librium are used for alcohol detoxification. I got this question wrong, answered True. We learned that Librium is used for withdrawal symptoms as a substitution therapy...

    I need help deciding whether to be an RN or ultrasound tech?!

    Clovery replied to Ashley Davis's topic in General Students

    I don't really know about the salary differences, but I have a somewhat weak stomach and it's not nearly as bad when I'm in a clinical setting. At home, I'll gag and dry heave sometimes when cleaning...

    Alcohol Detox Question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    That makes sense. But if you google alcohol detox programs, many of them advertise a week long inpatient program with antabuse treatment. We're in psych right now, so inpatient detox is what the...

    Alcohol Detox Question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I don't have anything to support that, it's just what my instructor said in class. It doesn't seem right to me, either, tbh. Maybe she meant that it's a deterrent to drink, i.e. when they get a...

    question for nursing faculty

    Clovery replied to Altra's topic in Nursing Educators, Faculty

    I'm a nursing student, but I've never had an assignment like this and I don't think any are on the horizon before I graduate. However, last semester I had to do a paper/presentation on childhood...

    Alcohol Detox Question

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks for the replies. I guess I was confused about the 12 hour thing with the Antabuse. I thought they would start it right away during a detox program, since it helps with cravings. So detox =...

    PLEASE Help!!! Idea needed for mental health teaching assignment!!!

    Clovery replied to theyounghippie's topic in Patient Education

    how about some roleplaying to teach about appropriate and inappropriate social interactions? If it's a group project, you and your classmates could act out different social scenarios and the kids...

    Nursing school frustrates me

    Clovery replied to iNsaNiA's topic in General Students

    The questions don't get easier, but you will get better at answering them! I was always an A student and I made Bs in Fundamentals because I wasn't used to NCLEX style questions. As others have said,...

    Confused on how to do an Elderly Process Recording... help?

    Clovery replied to jkjrocks3's topic in General Students

    I've had to do process recordings, but not exactly like that. I suspect each school or professor has their own preferred format. You should probably just ask your instructor about it. If I had to...

    How do I know what to do and what not to do in clinicals?

    Clovery replied to itsdebraanne's topic in General Students

    At clinical I introduce myself to the nurse who is assigned to my patient. Sometimes they have time to give you a report on the patient, sometimes they don't. I ask if it's okay that I go introduce...

    Dealing with a negative instructor

    Clovery posted a topic in General Students

    I'm about to start the 3rd week of my current semester and my instructor is really wearing me down... Usually instructors try to pump you up, get you motivated, and are generally encouraging. This...

    Dealing with a negative instructor

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    An update... Now that I've spent more time with this instructor, I actually really like her. I've gotten my first exam back and a paper critiqued and I've realized that her methods are very...

    Forced ultrasounds

    Clovery replied to nurse2033's topic in Activism, Healthcare

    I read something about this a year or so ago, except I think it was in Texas or Georgia. Women were required to view the ultrasound screen before proceeding with the abortion. IMO it's cruel. I'm...

    Test results problem

    Clovery replied to justwanttopass's topic in General Students

    Is it a Scantron test? Maybe the machine was picking up erasure marks or something. Maybe the instructor had some answers marked wrong on the key? I have no idea what the problem is - if I were you...

    Needing help deciding which classes to take! Have you ever taken these together??

    Clovery replied to gottagetmyrn's topic in General Students

    My school has 6 week summer courses and 12 week summer courses. Regular semesters are 14-15 weeks I think. I always opt for the 6 week courses when I can - the class times are often like 4 hours two...

    Needing help deciding which classes to take! Have you ever taken these together??

    Clovery replied to gottagetmyrn's topic in General Students

    I would take chemistry and A&P I together, and A&P II with micro. IMO A&P II was easier than A&P I, so I'd want to take that with micro, which is difficult. Are the summer classes...

    Did I Contact C. Diff?

    Clovery replied to RunawayN's topic in General Students

    I understand your worry. I feel that way too sometimes, especially about MRSA. I have a little story about C. diff. It was my first semester of nursing school, and we had just started our rotation on...

    New student need help

    Clovery replied to Furturenurse100's topic in General Students

    I would start learning the mechanics of NCLEX style questions. That's one thing I wish someone had told me before I started my first nursing course. Instead of focusing on content, learn the types of...

    what do i do about a clinical instructor who embarrassed me in front of others?

    Clovery replied to leogirl8's topic in General Students

    I would be really upset if I heard my instructor talking about me like that too. I'm also in my psych rotation and my instructor is "challenging", but after 4 weeks now, I'm starting to understand...

    Medication shortages?

    Clovery replied to Tarabara's topic in General Nursing

    Back in November/December there were several articles in area papers about a shortage of Adderall (amphetamine for ADHD and narcolepsy). I'm a student in my psych rotation now, and last week there...
