  1. Clinical Judgement

    pghnurse527 replied to janieg44's topic in General Students

    Good job with sticking to your guns and not just listening to your instructor. Instructors are humans as well, and they DO make mistakes. I have witnessed it myself. If you do not feel right about...

  2. Im here to complain. you can too:)

    pghnurse527 replied to Pneumothorax's topic in General Students

    I hated having SO much down time in some of my clinicals. I also hated careplans. I think they were effective the first semester or two of clinical, but it was overkill and redundant after a while. We...

  3. Pinning ceremonies! Graduations! Oh my!

    pghnurse527 replied to CrazierThanYou's topic in General Students

    We have pinning first and then graduation as well. We are wearing our caps and gowns to both, which I think is stupid. I have never seen people wear something other than white scrubs/dresses to...

  4. Confusion on scheduling a test

    pghnurse527 posted a topic in NCLEX Exam, Programs

    Our school spent about 5 minutes, literally, explaining what we need to do to take boards. I think I completed all of the steps, including signing up on Pearsonvue and paying the 200 dollars. Do I...

  5. Care plan feedback

    pghnurse527 replied to jrsygrl76's topic in Nursing Student Assistance

    I think those are both good nursing diagnoses. I would consider adding a diagnosis that is directly related to the patient's physiologic state rather than emotional/MH state. Interventions do not all...

  6. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    pghnurse527 replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    I'm not the OP, this has never happened to

  7. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    pghnurse527 replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    We go over NCLEX questions each class for my NCLEX prep. Every single time a question from one of the newer edition NCLEX books pops up the entire class says 'SKIP'. I never said that 'all they did...

  8. Countdown to Pinning

    pghnurse527 replied to Turd Ferguson's topic in General Students

    19 days!

  9. I was yelled at by my nurse yesterday

    pghnurse527 replied to EllieBean13's topic in General Students

    That was extremely unprofessional and inappropriate of the RN to yell at you like that. I agree with whoever said she should be reported, at least to your instructor so they do not give another...

  10. Could someone help me understand the role of an LPN?

    pghnurse527 posted a topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    I'm not sure if every state is different, but my RN program has been so vague about explaining what LPNs can and cannot do. There are a lot of NCLEX questions I've been coming across about delegation...

  11. Could someone help me understand the role of an LPN?

    pghnurse527 replied to pghnurse527's topic in LPN, LVN Corner

    Thank you all so much! This really

  12. student loans

    pghnurse527 replied to ginaw623's topic in General Students

    I would just go for the BSN if you want to become a NP. Getting your ADN would leave you an extra step (the BSN) that you might as well tackle right now. 90k is a lot, but a good number of BSN...

  13. preceptorship scheduling dilemma...

    pghnurse527 replied to ashleyisawesome's topic in General Students

    Do you still have class during your preceptorship? If so, I would definitely go with the weekend nurse so that you don't have to worry about it interfering. Our nurses didn't have very predictable...

  14. maternity/pediatric rotation

    pghnurse527 replied to lovecorinth's topic in General Students

    12h shifts are a big jump from 6h, just be prepared to be tired. I would e-mail your clinical instructor and ask what is allowed--but we could bring snacks and drinks with us. Every hospital and...

  15. Diploma/ADN/BSN nurse...do you think there's a difference?

    pghnurse527 posted a topic in General Students

    I'm writing a paper for my final nursing school course, and I was wondering about the opinions of other nursing students. Do you feel that there is a difference between diploma/adn/bsn nurses? Why or...

  16. Test questions taken directly from random NCLEX book. Unfair?

    pghnurse527 replied to Kboylan1's topic in General Students

    No, I don't think it's fair, and I would probably say something. I sure as heck would not want to be the patient of a nurse who may have passed nursing school because they memorized questions from an...
