What have you learned in nursing school that was utter nonsense?

IV and phlebotomy course practice on each other?
I didn't in nursing in school although I wished they did. In EMT school and in military medic school we did and I felt much more comfortable practicing on my classmates and not letting my first live sticks be on frustrated patients. The rubber arms did nursing students no justice. I probably got less than three sticks during actual school. A phlebotomy course will probably be different and better training though.

Starting Nursing School Pregnant
Is there anyway to postpone your start date? Not saying this is impossible but it will be extremely difficult. I would rather start fresh in the fall and get plans together than risk finals.

They can't just keep a dead body on support forever can they? This is just wrong. After this round of court appearances somebody should be able to do SOMETHING

A coworker made me so mad!
I get it. You feel that you could have at minimum got the bloodwork that she agreed to and he went in there and got her all worked up and she just said forget it. Did he know she had agreed to the bloodwork? Maybe he thought you guys were still trying to convince her and he thought by getting an IV and labs at the same time and saving her a stick he was helping. I doubt his intentions were to undermine you. I don't think this is something worth being upset about.

GA Teen Contracted HIV from a hair weave? Really?!?!
This girl is clearly lying and she has someone very angry doing her hair if she thinks a bloody head is normal. It is not normal to have scabs and puncture wounds. The needle used isn't even sharp. So unless the person is deliberately stabbing her head and applying pressure to draw blood I don't even see how hepatitis possible. That means you are drawing blood on multiple clients...scary

GA Teen Contracted HIV from a hair weave? Really?!?!
The braids aren't sewn in. The actual extensions are sewn onto the braids (which are in a corn row style) with a curved needle and thread.

Nurse wife Cop hubby
Well my husband works four days a week and I work three. I work on the days he has off most of the time so someone is watching my son and we spend the mornings together and the evenings when he gets off on his days. It is working so far. It keeps from asking the in laws to watch our son so much but on the days we want to have the day off together I just arrange my schedule to have that day off and ask my in law to baby sit but that's only once or twice a month.

why do many MAs and CNAs call themselves nurses?
Many people don't understand the difference until they go to school and work for it. I know I truly didn't when I was a EMT. Now I do.
