    iPink replied to EssaQ502's topic in General Students

    As poster above said, it's not as bad as you're making it to be. I wasn't the one who got the opportunity to insert the catheter, but another student did. The patient was alert and responsive. She...

    Foley Catheters

    iPink replied to EssaQ502's topic in General Students

    There are certain procedures some nurses cringe doing, but for the good of their patients, they will do it. For example, my friend who is currently an NP, shared with me she didn't like inserting...

    Friends cheating.. what to do?

    iPink replied to ajeanpants's topic in General Students

    They MAY make it out of the program, but not on the NCLEX; if they do, it'll show up. If they're "friends," why not try to encourage NOT to take this route, especially knowing their grades are good...
