  1. Lice Police!

    Wave Watcher replied to SnowyJ's topic in School

    Wave Watcher replied to nurse.j.'s topic in General Nursing

    Know your landmarks and you know every single patient. All the same. Don't let size make you think you would assess differently or it would be harder. Take your time as you would with any

    Wave Watcher replied to jamiejay's topic in School

    Wave Watcher replied to ICURN3020's topic in General Nursing

    Our inmates always had a guard in the room at all times and one ankle was chained to the bed. When I had to get them up to walk the hallways their feet were always shackled. They have nothing but time...

  17. How do you feel about professors locking the door?

    Wave Watcher replied to Amnesty's topic in General Students

    Our nursing instructors always locked the doors one minute past the start of class time but many of my teachers from non-nursing classes did the same thing. I grew up with parents that were on time...

    Wave Watcher replied to Burkeeexoh's topic in General Students

    I hated clinicals! Never had one clinical site I enjoyed. I had the same doubts as you. After I graduated with my ASN I made sure I enrolled in an online RN-BSN program that did not require anymore...

    Wave Watcher replied to guest83140's topic in School

  22. Unbelievable

    Wave Watcher replied to Muttlover2's topic in School

    Go to the Board of Education with your concerns if it is that serious. I don't let administration tell me how to do my job. That is what policies are for and my nursing judgement. Hope all turns out...
