    Do you know of anyone who has been thrown of of nursing school/program? And why?

    Clovery replied to Laurenslovely's topic in General Students

    Someone in my fundamentals class got kicked out for threatening to hit a patient... It was in a nursing home and the patient was confused and a bit combative. The student raised her hand and said "If...

    Funny things patients say !

    Clovery replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    My clinical group is sitting around the nurse's station on the peds unit. We're doing case studies -- there were no patients that night. It's a locked unit, and the doorbell rings. Someone hits the...

    Clovery replied to la0044's topic in General Students

    I have found several articles on your topic using EBSCO... not sure what you are doing wrong, as all I did was type "polypharmacy" in the search box. I'd send them to you but you really need to figure...

    Clovery replied to TAM's topic in Nursing Humor

    Our first clinical rotation was in a nursing home. I was partnered up with another student and we were assigned to follow around a CNA to do PM care. We were in a 90 yr old man's room, getting him...

    Clovery replied to ruesq's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    I'm in south jersey (philly burbs). Most people I've encountered are having a hard time finding nursing positions in NJ. At the hospital where we're doing our clinical rotation, there are several RNs...

    Nursing Ethical Dilemma

    Clovery replied to studentnursehelp's topic in General Students

    I would ignore the nurse's comment, direct her attention to completing the task, then say something to her in private afterwards. Like "My instructor told us to never make comments like that about a...

    New to the Nursing Field

    Clovery replied to SpiritBender's topic in General Students

    I would call around to potential nursing schools and inquire about how much of your psych coursework would transfer. I have a bachelor of liberal arts in biology/psychology and have found it to be...

    Dosage Calculation question

    Clovery replied to Student2001's topic in General Students

    there are 125 mg per 5 ml. you need your dose to be 250 mg if there are 125 mg in 5 ml, then you would need to double it to get 250 ml right? So you'd give 10 ml for the 250 mg dose. make sense? you...

    Why are students going into LPN programs?

    Clovery replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    You totally missed the point of my post. No one is saying LPNs aren't REAL NURSES. Just that in this area, they have a very limited function as they are not employed in most settings where RNs are...

    Is it normal to be asked to perform skills in clinical before testing off?

    Clovery replied to LolaVenice's topic in General Students

    Interesting how it's different! In the hospital I'm in, we students do all of the meds (unless they are IV, which we haven't tested on yet), vitals, feeding and personal care. We also practice...

    Is it normal to be asked to perform skills in clinical before testing off?

    Clovery replied to LolaVenice's topic in General Students

    It doesn't sound right to me... From what I understand, (at least for my school) it's the assigned nurse's and your clinical instructor's license at stake if a student effs up under their watch. So...

    Why are students going into LPN programs?

    Clovery replied to leo8686's topic in General Students

    I'm in NJ as well, and from everything I've heard, LPNs are being "phased out". There are currently no jobs for them in the major hospitals, and even LTC is shifting away from hiring them. The only...

    Burlington County College Spring 2012 program

    Clovery replied to jm88's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    Oh, I misunderstood your post... Well I know of at least 2 people that were in my 119 class who got in from the wait list at the last minute. They didn't have all of their pre-reqs done. Some people...

    Burlington County College Spring 2012 program

    Clovery replied to jm88's topic in New Jersey Nursing

    You are an LPN? If so, that's why you're waitlisted... because you will be entering the program in the second semester (NUR 120). NUR 119 is always full to capacity at the start of the semester, and...

    Clovery replied to mwilli31's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    what care plan book do you have? mine (Ackley) has the related factors listed with the diagnosis, you just have to pick the one that most appropriate. my last care plan had "hyperthermia r/t illness"...

    No patients again!

    Clovery posted a topic in General Students

    This is my 4th week of clinical, two days a week on a peds unit. Tonight was the third time the unit was literally empty. I've only had two patients so far. What gives? Children need to start getting...

    No patients again!

    Clovery replied to Clovery's topic in General Students

    I didn't mean to imply it's not serious... just that it's common and we usually get the mild or "rule out" cases. Severe cases that require ventilators or more intense care get sent

    Nursing teaching project

    Clovery replied to macylynn's topic in General Students

    That's a tough one. I was dead-set against having a c-section, took all the hospital's birth classes. I was planning on a natural childbirth without any pain meds. Absolutely nothing went my way and I...

    keeping pants tight.

    Clovery replied to coloradodave's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    I think what you want to search for is "drawstring cord lock" I've seen them in fabric stores, like joann fabrics. But it'd probably be easier to order it online rather than trying to track them down....

    A vent thread for patients- what can we do better?

    Clovery replied to canoehead's topic in Patient, Colleague Relations

    I posted earlier but I totally forgot to mention this horrid situation, probably because it didn't happen in a hospital: A couple months ago I had 2 wisdom teeth removed. I wasn't scared at all, I'm...
