  1. the worst intubation

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    I'm wondering that, too. Someone asked why they didn't call the anesthesiologist stat, and they said that they don't do that at this

  2. the worst intubation

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Nursing

    Yes, they said he was a difficult airway. What you wrote is very helpful

  3. GPA advice

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    I attended two schools, one for my pre-requisites and a second to complete my nursing degree. At the first school (in my pre-reqs) my GPA is 4.0. At the second, it is 3.49. Not so terrific. On new...

  4. White Scrubs - CNA Clinicals

    Fruit Sucker replied to rndreams14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Isn't it horrifying? Just, pubic hair in everyone's face. :-( I too am one of those who can't see the point of thongs. Having something in one's buttcrack all day just seems like it would be really...

  5. GPA advice

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    Thanks

  6. White Scrubs - CNA Clinicals

    Fruit Sucker replied to rndreams14's topic in Scrubs, Uniforms, Gear

    Skin color full coverage panties. I also wear a pair of white leggings (or bike shorts if the weather is warm) because I'm just that funny about people seeing my butt. We've had people wear thongs and...

  7. GPA advice

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Job Search, Interview, Resume

    This place I'm applying is making a big deal of GPA though. They accept applicants by a point system. And a 3.49 isn't going to be high on the point

  8. HUGS?!

    Fruit Sucker replied to sparky605's topic in General Students

    I'm a hugger. I don't get a lot of patients asking for hugs, but I routinely squeeze my patients' shoulders lightly, stroke their heads, or hold their hand if they're having something painful done....

  9. skipping graduation/pinning?

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Wow, congratulations on that. Impressive. You guys have me considering at least going to the pinning ceremony. I think that will be more special than the boring old graduation. My family isn't able...

  10. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    [quote=LaterAlligator;8240099take that schadenfreude as some stress relief for yourself. And figure out which specific traits of his are alienating everyone so you can be sure to assess yourself for...

  11. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Why would you think someone would take the time to write all these posts about something imaginary? That assumption says more about you than it does about

  12. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    I think you're probably right about that. I think the other students are just not in on the discussion, but the faculty is aware I'm sure. And the instructors do communicate with each other about...

  13. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Haha!

  14. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Haha, I love it. Some people are like

  15. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Nope. If you would cry in front of everyone for being criticized, I suggest you get ahold of yourself. No way in **** would I cry in front of people because someone said something mean to me. We are...

  16. How do you feel when?..

    Fruit Sucker replied to vregino36's topic in Male Nursing Students

    Is this an obstetrics clinical? Even so, in my OB clinical none of the patients cared if the male students were present. I have never seen a patient say that they didn't want a male student in the...

  17. I'm failing at life.

    Fruit Sucker replied to I'mReallyDumb's topic in General Students

    Please seek help for your anxiety and depression. It doesn't sound at all like you are dumb or a failure. It sounds like you are a person who is really suffering. I think you need to take care of...

  18. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Thanks for the advice, guys. Update: today we were in clinical, and for the third week the clinical instructor got irritated with him for making a stupid mistake with a patient (because he was busy...

  19. The most annoying student

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in General Students

    Fortunately for me, I'm planning to move out of state, so there's a much smaller chance I'll end up working with him. I think you're probably right- in the end he'll do some of this nonsense with a...

  20. Cultural Diversity and Tattoos

    Fruit Sucker replied to OwlieO.O's topic in General Students

    Being overweight is also a choice. I wonder how people feel about that and professionalism since so many here seem upset by tattoos. Would you be okay with it if a patient didn't "feel comfortable"...

  21. Senioritis / burnout / depression?

    Fruit Sucker replied to oohhgolly's topic in General Students

    Sorry to hear everything is sucking for you right now. I do think that with your anxiety worsening, you should look into a low dosage medication. I started taking Lexapro last semester for anxiety...

  22. mechanical ventilation q

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    What's the difference between auto-peep and breath stacking? Is breath stacking just a larger volume? I haven't been able to get any straightforward answers about this. I asked the respiratory...

  23. mechanical ventilation q

    Fruit Sucker replied to Fruit Sucker's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    Thanks so much! I understand it

  24. Nursing student and anxiety

    Fruit Sucker replied to Skitter's topic in Nurse Disabilities

    I'm going to be honest with you- it will likely get worse in nursing school. It did for me. I would consider medication if you start to feel an increase in frequency or quality of the attacks. For me,...

  25. clinical instructor problem or is it me?

    Fruit Sucker replied to studentnurse162484's topic in General Students

    Your CI sounds like a disorganized mess. I've had one like that, and it makes it really hard to learn. Rushing the students through things and doing it for them is not okay, these people get paid to...
