    HIPPA/ Student confidentiality?

    Avill replied to Avill's topic in School

    Avill replied to SaltineQueen's topic in School

    Colostomy

    Avill replied to ABRN2012's topic in School

    Haven't had a student like this in my school, but I agree with one of the comments that the aide and the teachers should help out. At my school I don't even help students with toileting, the SPED...

    Hate nursing school help!

    Avill replied to Mabern1's topic in General Students

    I like what DaveyDo said. I agree and I think you should stay put and finish it. You mentioned you are about to be a single mom and have Lupus. If you become a nurse you will be able to work less and...

    Student nurse/caring for disabled individual

    Avill replied to MONnurseUD's topic in Home Health

    The only thing that comes to the top of my head, is that you may get confused on the "right way" to do a skill. You learn the correct way in school, and well, when you work on the floor or in the real...

    Study tips... Help ME!

    Find your classmates that you are comfortable with and "know more than you". Have them explain things in their own words and explain to them things. Sometimes having a non-textbook answer helps....

    Avill replied to RedScrubs's topic in General Students

    Nursing is a science, but it's about the "nursing process". It's a mixture of knowledge and intuition. It's about preventing the worse outcome. Like some of the other members said, you should sit down...

    Avill replied to mom2twins9909's topic in General Students

    I am a full time school nurse and I wish I could stay home with my 1 year old. Know there are careers out there that work with family life, but don't pay as well as hospital nursing. With that said,...

    For the Nursing Student Who Feels They Aren't Meant to Be a Nurse

    Avill replied to Avill's topic in General Students

    My personal opinion would be that it comes down to safety. That's just me though. I also think if somebody is not meant to be a nurse they will chose themselves to get out of the profession, even...
