  1. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    student_girl replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    Vegetarians would take it, as it does not come from a live breathing animals. Vegans, on the other hand would refuse it because we object to human use of animals, and all meds have been tested on...

  2. I'm going to probably open a can of worms here, but I want your opinion

    student_girl replied to dspring's topic in Emergency

    I would tell them. They have the right to know. Heck, even I would refuse it, along with gelatine caps. I don't eat that stuff either. I'm not jewish or muslim, but I'm vegan. And if I ever come...

    student_girl replied to fotografe's topic in General Students

    I feel your pain dear! My CI (OB/GYN) is the devil personated! She makes me awfully nervous, which makes me forget things, and she doesn't stop being on my case. For exemple, there was something that...

  6. how many (nursing students) are sick?

    student_girl replied to Maisie's topic in General Students

    Aside from my stress level that has never been that high, my anemia and being sleep deprived, I had cellulitis (not the orange-skin thingy) last week. I was in the ER a couple of days, but managed to...

  7. Starting peds clinicals tuesday! Any advice?

    student_girl posted a topic in Pediatric

    Hi! I'll be doing peds rotation every tuesday and wednesday for the next four weeks. I'm a bit nervous, because I've got no children, and my cousins are at least ten y-o. I'll be on a 0-5 y-o unit. Do...

  8. scared to do peds rotation

    student_girl replied to kelly2006's topic in Pediatric

    student_girl replied to rn2be2006's topic in General Students

    My first instructor advised us to bring lip balm. She said that we might not have time to drink enough, and that we wouldn't want dry lips. I now carry one with me at all time. That instructor, who...

  12. Changing to 24 (military) time

    student_girl replied to trudy88's topic in Geriatric, LTC

    I don't have that problem, cause we use that time in Quebec, but there's another trick to remember the time after noon. Just add twelve. For example, if it's 3:15 pm and you add 12, you get 15:15. I...

    student_girl replied to maggijo's topic in General Students

    student_girl replied to GrnHonu99's topic in General Nursing

    My biggest pet peeve, right now, is one of my classmate. She's ALWAYS late, even in clinicals. Last semester, she was with me in med-surg 3 clinicals and she'd arrived at the hospital at the same time...

  18. Help! How to organize course material?

    student_girl replied to bowkerj's topic in General Students

    I used to do that, but then I got tired of carrying a big, heavy binder everyday. Now, I take a portfolio (with pockets, so I can carry my notebook in there). 1 for each subject. Everyday, I only...

  19. Nervous about starting SRNA training

    student_girl replied to meltedharmony's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Hi meltedharmony! Welcome to allnurses! Well, it's true that compared to nursing, being an aid is dull.:imbar But, I like being an aid 'cause it gives you experience with pts. And while you're an...

  20. Health History-Keep Me out?

    student_girl replied to PJL's topic in Pre-Nursing Students

    Would it be possible to not say the truth without them knowing it? I know lying is wrong, but sometimes, that's the only choice you have. Like when I got an interview to work as an aid in a hospital...

  23. when you are stressed about school, do you smoke cigarettes?

    student_girl replied to sad's topic in General Students

    As far as I know, yoga and meditation are the absolute best for stress! Just 15 minutes a day doing the sun salutation, or any other figure, leaves me stress-free for nearly the whole day. . . . . . ....

  24. RN's vs. Students @ clinicals

    student_girl replied to NJNursing's topic in General Students

    My first 2 clinicals (same hospital, two different units, same instructor) were horrible. Most of the nurses were not nice to us. Of course, it made things harder for us. I later found out that our...

  25. Financial aid questions

    student_girl replied to shellybelly's topic in General Students

    Honest or not, I'd put that money in another account, and leave a few hundreds in the old one. It's your hard-earned money, after
