  1. student shortcuts

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    It's my last semester, and I've started taking all kinds of shortcuts to save time. Here are some of my favorites: Soup for dinner: just open, peel off the label, and heat up the can directly on the...

  2. Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

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

    Also, learn to dance. Women appreciate a guy who likes dancing and is good at it. Plus, it will give you more opportunities to meet women. Try a salsa class. Everyone loves

  3. Anybody here ever found a GF or a future wife as a "murse" at work?

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

    Please don't go around looking for dates in the workplace. Everyone hates that guy. The women hate that guy, the other guys hate that guy. If that's not enough to deter you, think about this: if...

  4. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    Fruit Sucker replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    Hahahaha! THIS. Member since '11, every time I post on here, I get at least a few people having emotional meltdowns/temper tantrums/manufactured outrage hissy fits over whatever it is. Not to mention...

  5. Knitting during class: ok or not?

    Fruit Sucker replied to BusyBee91's topic in General Students

    I wouldn't have a problem with it. With all the people whispering, rattling snacks, phones going off, and other noise, I think knitting is perfectly acceptable. I think a lot of people are trying to...

  6. burnt out/senioritis

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    It's my last semester and I'm feeling so burnt out. I'm seriously procrastinating on every assignment, already used up my allowed absences, and I'd rather be home sleeping. Last January I started...

  7. stinky patient pet peeve

    Fruit Sucker posted a topic in General Students

    It really irritates me when we get to the floor, get patient assignments, and go in to see patients that have not been cleaned for at least a day. I'm not talking about diapers that need to be...

  8. stinky patient pet peeve

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

    I'm making it fine and people like you can't stop me. So there's that. I didn't say I didn't know what to do about a foley bag. Check your reading comprehension skills. I'm getting tired of repeating...

  9. stinky patient pet peeve

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

    First of all, many people don't seem to have actually read my post. I stated in that post what my assignment was, and asked for help in dealing with hospital staff who were neglecting their duties in...

  10. student shortcuts

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

    PBJ dogs, I love it! I don't know how the people with kids do it. I would lose my

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

    lolol,

  12. stinky patient pet peeve

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

    Well, I can't speak to where you went to school 18 years ago, but today's instructors are not teaching students how to make beds and give sponge baths anymore. As I said, I follow the instructions I'm...

  13. student shortcuts

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

    Not my scrubs. I guess I should have specified that. It was supposed to be a fun post, but leave it to someone to get

  14. stinky patient pet peeve

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

    Also, if CNA's are being told that the students coming in are going to do their work for them, I should find this out. That would cause a big stink with my instructor. I don't know who would do that,...

  15. stinky patient pet peeve

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

    To the people who said that I should just do the CNA's job because I'm a student and I'm being "uppity"...just, no. I am given what assignments I do by my clinical instructor, and washing patients is...

  16. 10 Worst Employee Excuses For Missing Work

    Fruit Sucker replied to sharpeimom's topic in Nursing Humor

    #2 would happen to me. Most ridiculous reason I've missed work: had too many things in my hands as I was leaving the house, hand got stuck and accidentally flailed my hand out and broke a window,...

  17. What to do about a hyperverbal classmate?

    Fruit Sucker replied to spaghetina's topic in General Students

    I wish I knew. I have one of those, too, and nothing will shut him up. Instructors have tried. Other students have tried. Nothing stops him, including setting limits, humiliation, punishment, you name...

  18. burnt out/senioritis

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

    I don't think you picked the wrong profession! School is really strenuous. When you're working, you actually get days off. No days off in school. If there's a "day off" it's an extra opportunity for...

  19. burnt out/senioritis

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

    Aww, man. I feel you, smoup. I came down with the flu three days before I was scheduled to get my flu shot. I've been miserable all week. Just miserable. I like that idea of celebrating with apple...

  20. burnt out/senioritis

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

    I had a similar idea, vintagemother. I've decided it's okay if I get a B or two this semester if it helps to balance out the rest of my life. I've always been one of those students who has to get the...

    Thanks

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

    Thanks guys. I appreciate the advice and will give these things a try. Countdown calendar is brilliant! And I think teaching/tutoring will help

  23. Horrible Clinical Experiences, Questioning if I Should Quit

    Fruit Sucker replied to jackieui's topic in General Students

    Not to be insensitive, but if people criticizing you is your worst nightmare, you're going to have problems in a lot of different vocations. My suggestion is to note the criticism, use it if possible,...

  24. Hostility

    Fruit Sucker replied to MissRis13's topic in General Students

    That doesn't happen in my program, and people would be written up if it did. We did have some students like that during the first semester, but they got weeded out of the

  25. Benefits of Clinicals w/ partners vs. without.

    Fruit Sucker replied to RookieRoo's topic in General Students

    I'd strongly prefer not to have one. I still have to pay the same for the class, and with partners you only get half the experience. No way I'm letting someone take away all my cool skills...
