  1. 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 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...
  3. Bad Clinical Rotation

    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...

  5. Spending the Benjamins

    My :angryfire !%&$?%$:angryfire student loan, as well as my gf's (in nursing school too-scheduled to graduate at the same time.) Have a bit more than 5000
  6. how many (nursing students) are sick?

    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. 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

    That's weird...in my school, we're allowed to give meds in our peds rotation (mine's comming up next week!), but are taught the proper technique, along with the teacher behind us; but we don't start...

  10. Um, more than I wanted to know...

    Yeah, it's the curse of the RN. I'm only a student, but my whole family is asking questions and seek advice... Gotta love the
  11. What are the item(s) you need most for nursing school?

    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

    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...
  13. microbiology for pregnant women

    We didn't have gloves in our micro class either, but our instructor made us wash our hands thoroughly before and after our classes. And we always worked with unharmful

  16. 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...

    1. Montreal, Quebec 2. Currently attending Cégep André-Laurendeau (semester 4 of
  18. Help! How to organize course material?

    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

    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?

    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...

  22. Chewing Ice!!!

    @ nurselulu: Is your friend getting enough B12? Lack of it can cause anemia
  23. 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

    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

    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
